Maybe a tragedy occured, like pregnancy.


Anyways, I brought something adol in the past, when he was loosing his collection. He sent me a game with rusted staples, and another one with a crunched box.

When he showed off his collection, back at Assembler, show casing his stuff, for the SFC, somebody was like "oh well you don't seem to have all the games", and then he wented on a long rant.

He is thinking how we usted to think and wented on his pokemon journey, I wonder what his life is like in France.

Isn't that the point of collecting sets and sealed games?

This post has been brought to you by DRUGS! Only they can make you this funny!

Still, he did get one thing right: Pregnancy probably IS the #1 cause of collections being sold off.

Adol only sleeps with his twin brother who is also called Adol though.  But then again in France I suppose a pregnancy could still happen.

My son is now 10 months old and I never felt the need to purge my collection.  You see this happen all the time and I just don't get it.  I've sold way too many things and have regretted it before then give in to some sort of weird nesting instinct.  :P

But hey, that's just me.   :wink:

Adol in the first game he apeared in is a boy, and the second game she is a girl. So it would workout.

Looking through the PC Engine stuff in the eBay listing I recognise all of it except this:
/cdtakaraboxpc88.jpg

anyone know what it is? I can't makeout the Kanji/Kana, the image is too small.


edit: I zoomed in, does it say CD Takara Box?

edit: OK it does say that as googled and found this: http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=367096

Yeah he's just showing off... As mentioned in the article, it comes out to more than 150€ per game. True there are a lot of rare games in there worth a few hundred to a few thousand, but with that calculated in you'd still be paying $100+ for hundreds and hundreds of common games that go for less than $10. No one with any sense would actually pay it.

So someone bought it already?

Post by: Ji-L87 on 07/09/2012, 12:37 PM
Wow, someone bought it...perhaps?

If someone bought that, and then proceeded to try and sell every game he/she didn't need, they still would lose an unfunny amount of money :s

Maybe he bought it from himself, so it would look like it sold, so people can think OMGRAOEGOMGRORMDAFUVKCFUCK

And the Enemy Zero LE, and the LDROM2 version of Goku...I don't even follow this shit but I can think of missing games.
Title: Re: Is Adol selling up?
Post by: Tatsujin on 07/09/2012, 07:09 PM
Sure they miss games, so they only count the very official and regular stuff for their completness.
Even they have few of the very hc games as well.

He would argue that since it wasn't released in Japan it doesn't count.  But I guess if you sent it to anyone over there it DOES count.

It's not for PCE. It's a variety CD-ROM for the NEC PC-8800 PC series. Not sure why it's in the auction.

It is a famitsu related, disc. You know the magazine that has been reviewing stuff. The artist, as we all know is famouse for the original Wonderboy/Adventure island series.

cause Adol is a jackfuck and has no idea what anything is because 100% of this stuff is unplayed by him.

I wouldn't think a single human soul would be worth this many games. Maybe for a Sega Genesis lot.

For the whole shebang, I think it would take not only your soul, but also the souls of a few innocents. I'm imagining a Tecmo's Deception type situation here.
