[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Owners of China Warrior...seeing this happen?]

I have two copies of CW that both seem to have developed some type of blue staining on the cards.  These were obtained by two different sources, so I'm sure it wasn't the way I was storing them or anything like that.  The game seems to still work fine, and none of my other cards have this problem.  Maybe just the ink that was used?  Check your CW's and see if this is happening to you too.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / n64 stuff i can't test for sale]

I got this n64 lot, but the console didn't have AV cable, so I can't test it and I don't feel like bothering to track one down.
The system powers on (red light when plugged in and turned on), and everything is in what looks like good cosmetic condition.  The sticks on the the controllers are pretty loose, but they aren't exactly "hanging" there (yet).  The purple controllers are still pretty tight.  Everything else looks good.

PM me with any offers if you want to take a stab at any of the pieces.  The console has the red memory pack in the slot (if that matters to you).

[General Gaming / You have 30 minutes...]

...to play a video game. What do you pull off the shelf?  I often find myself in this situation where i have just a few minutes to kill and dont have the time to get into something serious. My go-to is usually a pew-pew-pew, or a beat-em-up. Something that you can just dive right into and i dont care if i need to just turn it off. Blazing Lazers, Air Zonk, or sega cd Final Fight seem to get the most "quick play". Or, dare i say it, madden 03 on PS2. Its the best one.

Where do you turn for a quick fix?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / TG Cab Project]

I just wanted to share a recent project that I have been working on for months now.  It's a total "plug-n-play" job as I wanted everything to be original hardware, and if anything goes, it's easy to swap/replace.  It's fully working, but I was having a hard time getting a good picture of a game running.  I need to move it to a different place in my gameroom where the light glare isn't as bad.  I was just too lazy to do so yet. 

So I picked up this dead Assault cab at a local auction for $10.  When I brought it home, there was still $2.50 in quarters in the bucket, so I actually only paid $7.50.

/cab1.jpg

Anyway, over the course of couple weeks, I slowly stripped it down and emptied all the guts.  I put the joystick panel on ebay for a starting bid of $30 and it ended up selling for almost $300 to my surprise.
/cab2.jpg
/cab3.jpg

Spent a few days sanding and priming the sides, then insalled the marquee light and LCD bracket for the TV.
/cab4.jpg
/cab5.jpg

I had the marquee made at a local graphic design place, and I was quite happy with how it came out.
/cab6.jpg

I purchased a recapped USA TurboDuo and had a region mod done so it will play all Hu Cards.
/cab7.jpg

Right now, it's just painted black as I am having a hard time deciding what to put on the sides.  I plan on having a couple vinyl decals made up, but I'm not sure what yet.  Still a couple small things to iron out before it's considered "complete", but here it is so far.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / OFFERING: for parts/not working Pioneer DVL-V888 Laserdisc player]

So, I picked up a laserdisc player today at a thrift store.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work.
When it turns on, I get the Pioneer splash screen, but then it just perpetually reboots itself after a few seconds.  Anyway, I have no use for it, but figured somebody here may want to tinker with it.  I don't know much about these things, nor do I have much interest in a broken machine.  I doubt anybody wants it, but I know some people here like these electronics.
Cosmetically, it's in excellent shape.  I can post a pic later if interested, I'm just not near it right now.

It's the model "DVL-V888".  LD/Karaoke/DVD.  No remote.  Anybody want it?
Obviously it's a bit heavy.  I'm only asking for the $25 I paid, plus actual shipping based on zip code.

Box will be estimated at 22lbs. with dimensions of 19"x18"x17" if you want to check UPS.com.


EDIT:  shit, I just checked, this thing may not be worth the cost of shipping.  oh well.

[General Gaming / Your Gaming Timeline in 10 Games]

So this may require a bit of thought if you want to respond, but essentially, if you were to look back at your gaming past, what ten games (rough, chronological order) would you say define your timeline ?  These are not necessarily your OMG 10 FAVORITE GAMES of all time.  Well, these 10 certainly aren't my "favorites", but from when I started playing video games (age 6ish, 1982ish), these 10 certainly had an impact on me.  A few of them were the reason I wanted/bought a system and may not have turned out great, but still hold a place with me.

#1. Combat (2600)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line1.jpg

My friend Joe had a 2600 before me.  I always played at his house and I can't tell you the countless hours we spent with the tank-pong game.  It was exhilarating at the time.   I remember wasting a ton of time flipping the 2600 switches to see what other variations were on the cart and being surprised when we found planes.  Combat was my first foray into home video games and I needed a 2600 badly.

#2. Super Mario Bros. (NES)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line2.jpg

When I was 12, I played soccer after school.  There was a pair of twins (Andy and Doug) on my team that were a year older than me.  During a game, they talked about how they just couldn't wait to get home and play Nintendo.  Nintendo Nintendo Nintendo.  I asked them..."What's Nintendo ?"
The answer at the time..."Atari but better".  Ok, I need one.
Anyway, we are all familiar with SMB, but that Christmas was literally like the day I climbed out of the womb and felt heat for the first time.
By the way, Joe (from above) ended up hitting one of the twins with his car years later in high school and broke his knee.

#3. Megaman 2
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line3.jpg

I am NOT a Megaman fan.  Let's start there.  Now lets back up a bit.  The Christmas of (I want to say) 1988 my Dad was in the hospital.  When we went to visit him, he muscled up the energy to reach into the drawer next to him and pulled out two Christmas presents.  They were Double Dribble and Track & Field.  I loved both of them.  The following summer was when Track & Field 2 was scheduled to come out and I was dying for it.  Anyway, we went to the local Good Vibrations (music store back in the 80's) and I said "Give me Track & Field 2".  Response was "We're out."
Dad looks at me and says "Pick something else".  Megaman 2.

#4. Bonk's Adventure (TG-16)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line4.jpg

Ever heard of it ?  Joe (from above) and I used to go to the mall almost every weekend.  There was a JVC store that had Bonk on display.  We would play it for long stretches until somebody kicked us out for not buying anything.  I already had a turbo when Bonk came out, but this game really did punch me in the tits at the time.  I was tired of Mario, sonic wasn't out yet (not that it really mattered) and I loved the subject matter in Bonk at the time.  Easy cake walk of a game at the time was actually refreshing to me because so many NES games were hard as nails and I hardly ever got to see most of the good stuff that came much later in many games.  (I never said I was a great player of video games, just a fan)

#5. Dick Tracy (Genesis)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line6.jpg

I loved the Warren Beatty version of Dick Tracy in 1989(?).  I remember seeing the Genesis game on the rack and thinking "whoa, cool".  That was the first time I wanted a Genesis.  I love this game.  If you aren't familiar, DT plays like a cross between original Shinobi (shoot straight, jump on/over crates) and Cabal.
You are fighting goons on two plains.  The baddies are running right at you that you have shoot/punch (shinobi style), but in the distant background (think "accross the street") there are also fedora fighters that you can shoot with a tommy gun (cabal style).  It keeps the action moving at a good pace as there is a lot you have to pay attention to.  I highly recommend it, even though many think it's crap.  If anybody has any suggestions for a DT clone, I'm all ears.

#6. Cosmic Fantasy 2 (TGCD)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line5.jpg

Joe (from above) and I played Cosmic Fantasy 2 for something like three days straight during a high school winter break.  Literally, didn't leave the TV for those three days until we finished it.  Mind you, we must have explored every inch of that game and wasted so much time grinding levels but we didn't care.  There were no guides, no internet access for us and pretty much nobody I knew even knew the game existed.  So there was no help, just us and that CD.  Still one of my favorite gaming memories of all time

#7. NHL (Genesis)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line7.jpg

Just straight, addictive, head to head fun.  It was the perfect sports game for a group of friends that thought you couldn't get any better than Blades of Steel.  NHL blew me away.

#8. Battle Arena Toshinden (Playstation)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line8.jpg

I was in a funny place from a gaming standpoint in the 1994-95 timeframe.  I was a junior in high school, doing other things (skateboarding many hours a day) and lost a bit of interest.  I enjoyed the fighting game craze at the time because they were quick, pick-em-up and play, no commitment fun.  Battle Arena Toshinden is the game that made me want a Playstation (along with MK3 port).  I couldn't believe what the Playstation was promising to do graphically when I saw that game box at the store and subsequent commercials.  As I slowly got out of gaming, I never did play it until a few years later, and the game plays like crap now (kind of always did), but I will always have a copy in my collection.

#9. Tony Hawk Pro Skater (Playstation)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line9.jpg

The Playstation era really is like two bookends of my gaming past.  I got out of gaming not long after the Playstation hit it's stride, and THPS is the game that got me to jump back in.  After playing it at a friends house, I bought the game and didn't even have the system, but I knew plenty of people that did.  It came out somewhat late in the PS lifecycle, so technically it had all the bells and whistles.  It played like a dream for a skateboarder since we really had nothing that even came close to matching it.  Skate or Die 2 Halfpipe was as close as you were getting.  THPS had real pro's, real moves, real locations, and real music.  This game actually was responsible for a skateboarding renaissance in the early 2000's which died a few years later when people realized they couldn't really do 30 trick combos and it's hard enough to learn how to ollie.  I love the entire series, and I think I have 5000% all of the games with my eyes closed.  R.I.P. THPS, you are sorely missed.

#10. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
dotsandloops.com/timeline/line10.jpg

I love the Wii and I'm not afraid to say it.  I do.  Remember from above, I got out of gaming during the N64 era, so I totally skipped Mario 64.  Super Mario Galaxy was really my first experience with anything 3D Mario and I just couldn't put down this acid trip.  SMG was the first "new" game that came out in a long time where I couldn't wait to get back to it after work, on weekends, when wife went out, etc.  I thought the controls were spot on, the puzzles were great without being frustrating, and just all around a very polished game.  I still pick it up once in a while, and I enjoyed 2, but SMG is probably my favorite game in my Wii collection. 

Obviously, this thread is not for everybody to post 10 pics and write a novel on each game.  But what 10 games over the years and console generations would you say visualize your timeline ?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / galams annual THIS AIN'T EBAY sale (TG and PCE stuff)]

As some may remember, similar to last year,  I picked up a pretty large auction this week with the intent of parting it all out here for those that may need some of these games.  Consider them all "players copies" as they are not OMG GEM MINT.  Boxes are not in the best of shape
Besides, uh, play them.

Nulltard was the one that pointed me to the auction, so he will get first pick of what he wants.

Anyway, take a look and PM me if interested or have questions (with your zip code for accurate shipping quote along with when you can make payment).  I would prefer not to be "holding" items.  We can discuss it, but if somebody comes along with the cash first, you may be SOL.  I move quick and efficiently.
At first, I think I am going to apply a 3 item limit for each buyer to allow as many as possible to be able to get something.  After the dust settles, I will probably alter this rule.
I tried to undercut the lowest sold BIN on Ebay that I could find for most games.  Some are more in line with Ebay than others, but that's only if I felt the lowest BIN was fair.
Also, a couple of the games that are more in line with Ebay are only priced that way because for anything less, I would rather keep them.


A few other rules:
350+ post count in order to buy anything
I have to like you (if most of your posts have communicated through dumb photoshop images or if you have uttered the word "butts" more than once, chances are you are excluded)
I am only shipping to an address in the USA 48 (I am not dealing with additional forms, costs, etc. with international buyers, sorry)
I will NOT be shaving prices if you buy multiple, so please don't ask.  I think the prices are low enough
As stated above, prices do NOT include shipping, that will be calculated based on zip code
No known flippers.  I'm not selling these so you can make money on EBAY
No moles...you know who you are.  Lurking the forums and then only posting for entry in raffles or sale threads
No goverrats
Payments via PAYPAL GIFT only please


Please don't PM with any requests for exceptions to the above rules, I won't even respond.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Duo: Please Set Disc]

Picked up a new Duo today.  I was purchased as "unreliable".  They were right.
On the Super System intro screen, the message "Please Set Disc" is displaying after I hit Run.
There are a few clicks, maybe a bit of a grind, and then that message appears in pink lettering.

Might need a cap job too once it's opened up.  I'm just curious if this is going to be an expensive fix.

Thanks.

[Fighting Street / It came from the desert island]

It seems like so many "top" lists going around lately, lets just finish the debate here.

So the question is...
If you are stuck on a desert island, what would be your top 1000 video games you would want with you?
Please give a few reasons for each selection and your past experiences with them.
This list will only work if you list them chronologically.
Would you prefer just the game, or do you want it CIB?
Are some of your choices only there because you overpaid for them?
Would you bring some games that you have never played, so you can at least have a few new experiences while stuck on said island?
What tv/display would you bring?
What snacks?
Would you pay a subscription fee to access gamefaqs if that was an option?
If you finish a game, and the navy would come once a month, what game would you ask them to bring for a trade?

[Off-Topic / Ugh]

Woke up to this today.

[General Gaming / If you havent used your Wii in a while...]

...be careful. Last time i used all of my controllers was 4 momths ago. Today, i needed a spare set of AA batteries, and two of my controllers had them explode. I was able to clean one of them to working again, but the other was destroyed.
If this thread helps one person avoid this, its worth it.

[Off-Topic / Merry Christmas!]

Bright and early.

[Off-Topic / Sony]

This whole sony thing is nuts. So they cancelled the movie release entirely. Sony is claiming an "insider" was assisting north korea with the hack. Now an activist group is trying to obtain legal dvds from sony, so they can drop them from the sky over north korea.
A theater in dallas area was going to screen Team America World Police, but Paramount canned that too and wont allow it.
Its a scary precedent that Sony is setting here, by caving to the threats.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / RAFFLE: WINNER CHOSEN! Jackie Chan AND A GBA!]

Found two of these Jackie Chan Games and the guy sold them to me for $2 each.
Final Fight style beat-em-up.  Pretty colorful, I tested it on my SP and the INCLUDED model 1 (see pic).  Might also be fun for the GameCube player.
Anyway, it's an obvious counterfeit, but it's free!  Box, book, game all in perfect shape.
(I actually like the box without the "Gameboy Advance" logo on the side.)

Shipping to the US-48 only.  Be clear if you want in and I'll decide if you make it.

[General Gaming / OG Xbox]

So i broke out my original xbox today for the first time in quite a while.
I dont have a lot of games, and im very NOT familiar with the overall library.

My three year old son played Disneys Cars for about an hour today.  He just drove around the town and hit stuff.

Anyway, Im curious if there are any 2D shewties, or any must have exclusives that flew under the radar. Im not interested in Halo or any FPS's.
Since it was the age of the PS2, i cant imagine there are any slick 2D platformers.
