Captain Venom MacBluebeard's Mega Pirate Raffle!

VenomMacbeth · 01/22/2015, 03:48 PM

Arrrgh! I recently got a flash cartridge, rendering these Mega Drive pirate cartridges useless to me! Up for raffuru, I have:

Verytex
Panorama Cotton
Gleylancer

They are all loose, and the labels are of terrible quality, but they are tested & do work on a Mega Drive 1 consoles.

THE RULES!

Best ye follow, lest ye wish to walk the plank!

1. You can only pick one. You must also give a reason why you picked the one you did.

2. No dressing these up as officials & reselling. Obviously, assholes.

3. You must be active on Le forums, other than just the sale sections.

I'll draw a winner when I feel like it. Pirates do what they want, yo.

Scurvy dogs:

Esteban (P-Cot)

Desh (P-Cot)

cjamesIv (Greyblandser)

Gentlegamer (Gleylancer)

Dicer (Gleylancer)

xcrement5x (P-Cot)

Medic_Wheat (P-Cot)

TR0N (Verytex)

O.pwuaioc (Verytex)

Roflmao (Verytex)

esteban · 01/22/2015, 04:22 PM

I was tempted by both Verytex and Cotton, but since I simply adore Space Harrier, I must choose Panorama Cotton.

I wish Space Fantasy Zone had actually been tweaked, refined and finished for PCE.

Since that never happened, I hereby dub Panorama Cotton as a spiritual sister to Space Fantasy Zone.

That is why you will simply send the game to me. Thank you.

DeshDildo · 01/22/2015, 04:45 PM

I have a similar opinion to esteban. Verytex seems Verygood as I prefer my shooters to be of the vertical persuasion.

Cotton, however, says Sunsoft on it and that gives me a boner. Therefore, if you were to put a loaded weapon to my head and make me choose, I would choose Cotton Panorama.

P.S. I also like cotton balls.

cjameslv · 01/22/2015, 06:56 PM

Awesome shooters. Please enter me for Gleylancer. Reminds me of r-type and who doesn't love r-type!

Me...

I don't hate it, and it pioneered a lot of things I like in shooters...but overall, it's not my fave, and neither is Gleylancer. The cutscenes are the coolest part, but I can't read moon runes...so...here ya go!

Anyway, I added everyone so far.

Gentlegamer · 01/22/2015, 10:19 PM

Do what you want, 'cause a pirate is free,
YOU ARE A PIRATE!
Yar har, fiddle di dee,
Playing like R-Type is alright to be,
GreyLancer is the game for me,
You are a pirate!

Yar, har, fiddle di dee.
If you want to enter me,
You are a pirate!

Dicer · 01/23/2015, 02:40 AM

Put me in for Gleylancer, saw it on the good ole Game SACK (left in Japan) and it looks neat...

xcrement5x · 01/23/2015, 01:00 PM

Sign me up. I choose Cotton because it is a cute game and pretty cool. Plus I already have a teacup that would go excellent with it.

Disclaimer though: If I win this I will eventually give it to friend who is a SNERD to show him how awesome the Genesis is. If that's a deal breaka then it's fine to exclude me.

Medic_wheat · 01/23/2015, 02:52 PM

Panorama Cotton

Why?

Because it is the only ine I recognize.

Also it is Cotton mo fo.

esteban · 01/23/2015, 04:24 PM

ASIDE: Damn, I see that choosing the most popular title has decreased my odds! Ha! Verytex and Gleylancer are looking more attractive.

Lol, I thought about that too but decided I would rather risk not getting anything, than get something I probably wouldn't play.

I am obsessed with playing shootemups, so this is a great raffle, as far as I can dream.

VenomMacbeth · 01/24/2015, 07:32 PM

Alright everyone. Let's jump aboard the pirate ship. Nobody wants Verytex? There will be three winners for this raffle & so far, I can only pick two.

I'll take Verytex. Why? Because someone posted the soundtrack here not too long ago and I was like: "This is an OK soundtrack, but, more importantly, WHY HAVEN'T I PLAYED THIS DAMN GAME?"

(Cough..err.mmhmm.) This is not cjameslv. i am his evil turbo twin brother and i will enroll for said verytex so that my evil plans may come to fruition...ya

TR0N · 01/28/2015, 04:30 AM

Sign me up for Verytex please that game does have a good sound track

o.pwuaioc · 01/28/2015, 09:01 AM

Can you enter me for Verytex? I've never played it, and I have an itch to. I already own a Gleylancer pirate, and I think the Cotton games are way overrated (not sure why I even own Cotton:FND) though the Space Harrier view is pretty damn cool.

VenomMacbeth · 02/12/2015, 04:26 PM

Yo ho, everyone! I'm drawing the winners sometime tonight, so if there's anyone I forgot to add or if anyone wants to enter last-minute, now's the time!

roflmao · 02/12/2015, 09:35 PM

Ah, what the heck. Throw my name in for Verytex! +1MegaKarma to you!

So! Esty, cjameslv, and o.pwuaioc, you're all wieners & have PMs incoming...though it is kind of on the late side, so I may get some sleep first.

esteban · 02/14/2015, 03:24 AM

I woke up early to go to the bathroom. It's 3:25 am.

"Time to check unread threads," I said to myself, as per my usual routine.

Now, here I am, crying for joy as I read these results.

My leg is going numb.

Thank you for your very, very gracious raffle.

Now I have a reason to unplug the NEC and plug in the FEKA.

Blasphemy.

Delicious, sweet blasphemy.

Thank you, comrade.

cjameslv · 02/14/2015, 10:50 AM

Yo ho ho!!! Just woke up and before i make my coffee, as this forum ranks higher, i read this beautiful thread. Awesome, thank you for the raffle. I'll get you my info. Grats to the other wieners

This will go great in my newly modded Genny. Thanks again for holding these, Captain!

I could be the only one in a raffle, and still manage to lose, lol...

Gratz to them winners enjoy some non-obey

Medic_wheat · 02/14/2015, 11:32 PM

Fun raffle as always.

I think I am going to hit up the flea market tomorrow. If I do I'll be on the look out for something to do a raffle on for the LOLZ.

VenomMacbeth · 02/18/2015, 03:05 PM

Just a shout out to the wieners, we've had a bout of some winter weather here & anytime anyone says the word "snow" in the south, all hell breaks loose. Rest assured, I'll have them to you all shortly.

wildfruit · 02/18/2015, 06:53 PM

Feka for everyone!

cjameslv · 03/01/2015, 12:47 AM

Got my game today! Thanks again.

VenomMacbeth · 03/06/2015, 12:53 AM

Just wanted to check in, did everyone else get their games?

o.pwuaioc · 03/06/2015, 02:18 AM

Yep, yep! I got mine in quite a while ago. Plays great, thanks!

esteban · 03/08/2015, 05:24 PM

I wanted to post a pic, because it seems more meaningful that way (to show my appreciation):

Thank you Venom Macbeth!

I was literally in the middle of vacuuming, doing the laundry, cleaning up and I decided that IF I DIDN'T TAKE THE PIC NOW, I never would.

So, there you go.

Also, I was inspired to take the pic because of the the similar palette of colors in The Label vs. The Room...ha.

VenomMacbeth · 03/08/2015, 08:24 PM

No problem Esty

And I see what you mean, the colors are quite appropriate.

...Until you turn the game on, of couse. Then it's just crazy, unless you're on acid.

cjameslv · 03/09/2015, 12:37 AM

I pulled the pcb from mine put it in a nice old sonic 2 case and reprinted a beautiful label. Only issue is the pcb is alot thicker than a standard one.

spenoza · 03/09/2015, 11:45 PM

I'd like to sign up for Gleylancer. Verytex has much better music, but Gleylancer looks like the better playing game, and I love me some shewtees.

Thank you for pointing out my reading comprehension fail (also known as 'read first page, skipped to end')

I shall crawl under a rock now.

But first, seriously, Verytex has some damn fine tunes. I watched some clips on YouTube and was very impressed. Doesn't look all that impressive as a shooter, but it sounds fan-dang-tastic.

esteban · 03/11/2015, 12:21 AM

Don't worry, spenoza. I figured that you were so excited by the prospect of Verytex that you were blinded. Blinded by anticipation.

cjameslv · 03/11/2015, 03:02 PM

Venom, thanks for this. Gley Lancer is alot of fun and pretty tough too. The ntsc-j cart was ok but i ended up swapping it to a ntsc cart, made a new shiny label and cover for the genesis box. So your old bootleg is happy in its new home.

New and old cart:

Whoa man, you can't tell him to do that. That's the parents' choice. I mean, sure, he'll be have to practice better hygiene, and he'll be a little more sensitive, but god put it there for a reason.

Please folks, leave genesis case circumcision a matter of choice, not obligation.
