@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

What is on hulu that i NEED to watch?  Justifying a subscription.

Anyone?
I asked for this game for christmas and recieved it.  I always remembered enjoying it as a kid, but hadn't played it in over 25 years.  I am on level 36 and proceeding when time allows.
For those not familiar, its basically a platformer with pac-man style of progression.
Carrots scattered around to which you need to get all of them to clear a level. (dots)
Avoid other looney tune characters. (ghosts)
Get the medicine for short killing power. (power pellets)
Can't Jump
Other artifacts are peppered around to kill the baddies, like anvils you can push off a ledge if you time it right to fall on characters running below you.  (this is kind of satisfying when successful)
Stairs/doors/pipes get you up and down the floors. (adhering to the levels theme) since you can't jump
Many levels look for you to take a set path and the other characters react similar to pac-man ghosts where they move based on your movements (you can use this to your advantage and freeze them sometimes, but it's not easy)

Basically, the point of this thread is... what games have you revisited after many years and still enjoyed?

doesn't seem to have any writing on it.  about 8" and has a peg in one foot.

Off-Topic / Nintendo Fun Club
11/21/2017, 12:49 PM
Does anybody know of a website where the Nintendo Fun Club magazines are scanned/archived?
I am looking for a certain picture in one of them, but I dont remember what issue it was.  Frankly, i HOPE it was in NFC, and not an early issue of NP.
#7
I will be shipping to the USA-48 only.  The TE will be calculated based on zip code.  The games will be shipped for free.  Obviously, since it's my stuff, I refuse the right to sell to whoever I feel.
If you have any specific questions, or want more pictures, please PM me.  Having a hard time getting good pictures of the disc surfaces, but tried to explain condition below.  Paypal friends/family/gift payments only.  I won't be holding items.  I will probably only keep this up a few days before going to ebay with the stuff.

TurboExpress - $200
Has Turbokon 2.5" LCD screen mod along with new caps for sound.  It's in beautiful condition.
From my understanding, these LCD screens can take a few seconds when powering the unit on.  When I put a game in, it takes 2-4 seconds before you see it on screen.  Best thing about these LCD screens is you can read text/passwords very clear.
Apologies for the blurry picture of the screen working.  I assure you it's quite sharp.

Turrican - $65 - CIC, Very good condition
Jack CD Golf - $75 - CIC, Very good, one or two light scratches
Vasteel - $130 - CIC, Very good, few light scratches, includes original Map (a bit "wavey" from storage)
DracX - $150 - CIC, many light surface scratches, plays through fine
Forgotten Worlds - $100 - CIC, Like new

/games/tlot.jpg[/img]

Camp California - $300 - CIC, Excellent disc.  Attempted a photo of it.  Also comes with the unopened soundtrack CD (long blister pack)

Off-Topic / Matching serial numbers
08/19/2017, 10:26 PM
fighting street has been super boring lately, and the "insertion marks" thread was inspiring.

General Gaming / Accidental Sale
08/09/2017, 01:39 PM
Just a story I felt like sharing and maybe this will prevent somebody else from being careless like me.

I have a list of 10 or so games that I want to find locally.  Real common stuff that pretty much isn't worth the shipping it would cost to get from ebay.  This also gives me games to look out for at thrift and flea markets.

Anyway, one of those games was Atari 2600 River Raid.  After about a year (maybe more) of searching around locally, I finally found one for $1 about a month ago.  Great.

A couple weeks ago, I worked a flea market and set up a booth with a friend to get rid of some house stuff after a spring purge we did.  I had a box of spare Atari stuff that I brought for the sale.  One of the small 2600 consoles, some accessories, games I have in triplicate (at least), and some joysticks.  This box has kind of been my "catch all" for any atari crap I got that I didn't want.  Well, one day, I had put ALL of my joysticks in this box for some dumb reason.  The box sold.

I went to play river raid today and realized I didn't have any joysticks.

I am usually very organized with my cords/AC's/controllers/etc. and I can't believe I didn't put two sticks aside.
#11
I have been playing some more SMS lately.  Primarily the downscaled ports of popular genesis games and curious which ones people favor.  i absolutely love Dick Tracy and Castle of Illusion.  I also gave some time to E-Swat, which i found somewhat disappointing.

Anybody have any interest in these books?  These are Jeremy Parrish Gamespite publications.

looking for 2 suggestions.  can either be for PS3 or X360.

first, i am trying to find a mindless FPS.  not heavy on objectives/missions, i just want to kill shit.  NO online play either.  I have played through bulletstorm campaign twice already, but something along those lines.  just mindless shoot.

second, an arcade racer.  not something with RPG elements where i have to build up the car.  i just want to hit the gas and steer.  the midnight club series is a good indication of what i am looking for, but i have one of those already.  not looking for any outrun suggestions.

any thoughts?
#19

Looking for a copy of PL'93 loose or complete as long as card condition is good.
Anybody have one to release.?  I know it's not expensive, but I would rather source it here and maybe trade some other common game for it.

Or I have an Alien or Godzilla to trade, but I would prefer a CIC copy for one of these.  Both are from 2002 (NECA Alien and Bandai Godzilla)

...if you were the buyer?

so this happened:
http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/162246163178

then a few days later, this listing came up (same seller)
http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/162251937870
it was listed for $999, but he has since lowered it.

i PM'd him asking what happened with the $107.99 copy and he responded that it was originally listed for $1149.99 and he wanted to lower it to $1079.99, but accidentally set it at $107.99 and somebody bought it instantly.  he said he cancelled the sale to relist it.

so personally, i understand it was an error, but i bet some buyers would be furious.

what would you do?

Buy/Sell/Trade / OG XBOX Games for sale
07/15/2016, 10:55 AM
Have some XBOX games to offer.  If interested or have any questions, just PM me for quote/shipping.

Will only ship to USA.

The top picture are games I would list as good-very good.  Some are pristine.
The second picture I would list more like "acceptable".  Some to many light scratches on surface, but all play fine. 
All are players copies because they are games.
The small stack in the top picture (simpsons, ESPN, and DoA2) are missing manuals.  All the other games have them.
The blank case is the Jet Set Radio Future/GT2002 combo disc with both manuals.

Curious, does anybody have any consoles that they own for just one gaming experience?
I have a few, and didn't know if others did too.

I have an OG XBOX for:  Jedi Academy
I have an SMS for: Dick Tracy
I have a GC for: Ikaruga  (and Gameboy player I guess)

I do have a few other games for each one, but nothing I care about.
I literally only keep those consoles for those games.

General Gaming / Cartridges
07/06/2016, 10:43 AM
So the "NX" thread got me thinking.  I miss cartridges.  Neat shells of plastic where the company had complete creative license to design it however they wanted.  Some were space savers, and some were space wasters.  The question here is, what was your favorite cart shape?
Here are most of the home console carts for reference.  The timeline is very loose and not meant to be a factor here, just wanted to take a pic of each one.  I left out the handhelds and Virtual Boy just because.  Personally, I was a fan of the 32x shape/size/weight overall, but you can't deny the basic Hu either.  (also left out the sega card for bias.)
Obviously, I stuck to 20 USA releases below just to start the discussion, but if you have a different cart that you prefer, then by all means mention it (and show it).

so here's the game...

i am going to say something about a random member
the next person to post has to say something about me
the person after that has to say something about the member that says something about me
and so on

lets not fall out of order, you can only say something about the most recent poster.  lets not start harping on one person, thats not the point of the game.  just the last person to post.
it can be nice, it can be mean, it can be neutral.
it's in fighting street because i assume insults will fly, and FS has been kind of quiet lately. 
but dont take it personal, its just in good fun.

i will start...

You know, sellers are often given quite a hard time for asking stupid prices for TG/PCE stuff.
I think it's about time to start a thread to laugh at the dumb buyers that actually way overpay for this stuff.  These people deserve just as much hazing as the sellers trying to gouge.  There is no shortage, so I will start with just a few links.  Please add on when you see craziness.
