/vr/ - Retro Games

I'll dump what I have, starting with these. All gold cart Zelda games.

>>1039743
Needs a Virtual Boy.

Final Fantasy VII
>Double Sephiroth misprint.

Taiwan-only Ocarina Of Time.

Mario & Luigi Burger King boxes.

Skyward Sword with box and gold wii remote.

Unlicensed Tengen Pac-Man with original (slightly damaged) box.

>>1039778

Best version.

Master Sword and Hylian Shield replicas.

>>1039780
The ROM is exactly the same. The only difference is the cart. The licensed Nintendo version even says Tengen on the start screen.

Mario bubblegum game case.

>>1039792
Here it is opened up. Sticker is slightly damaged.

Nothing really weird, but some expensive and uncommon stuff. And I love my NES-101 so I put that in there too.

Box is in perfect condition.

Special edition Zelda DS Lite with box.

>>1039803
OP here. Nice NES! I've been wanting the top-loading model for a while now. I have two front loaders.

Special edition Super Smash Bros poster, only available to Nintendo Power subscribers.

>>1039803
Did you av mod your toploader? I would post a pic of mine, but I have to go to work. If this thread is still alive in 4-5hrs I'll pot a pic, it is a favorite in my collection.

>>1039816

It's pretty cool, but I honestly use only to test NES games nowadays before selling them (inb4 reseller scum) since it's so reliable. I disabled the 10NES chip on my toaster NES and after 30seconds to a minute I can usually get my NES games to work on that. Audio and visual quality is much higher on the toaster.

>>1039828
Nah, that's a little too complicated for me to do.

I like my freezer full of consoles.

>>1039758
I knew of the floating "i" misprint, but not this one. That's pretty cool.

>>1039778
I have Tengen Tetris with the box, but it is sadly missing the manual.

>>1039835
That's pretty spiffy. Also, does your model 1 Sega CD work? I'd love to get one for my collection since I collect Sega stuff.

>>1039816
I thought about getting a top loader but the quality doesn't seem to be as great.

I keep all my pins and games clean to an autistic level so I have no problems getting anything to load on the toaster.

>>1039851
Yes. I had to change the fuse, but I got it working. The only things in there that don't work are the two black GCs and one of the PS2 slims. Well, they work, but they just won't read discs. Any one know how to fix that? Sage for not retro.

>>1039835
Are those PS1's in the bottom right?

>>1039865
Top-Loaders don't run as well, but they're not region-specific, so they can play PAL and NTSC-J games.

>>1039871
Yes. I seem to be finding them everywhere lately. Why do I keep buying them? I don't know... I think I have a problem.

>>1039893
OP here. I only have one, but it still works so I don't really need another one. I have several gameboys and NES's though. Does the open button on any of your PS1's ever stick?

>>1039750
Where is A Link To The Past?

>>1039910
Right here. It's the only cartridge Zelda that was never released on a gold cart.
>Captcha: Zora pspoIta

>>1039916
Was Link's Awakening? I've never seen nor heard of a gold cart of Link's Awakening.

>>1039917
>Cartridge Zeldas
I meant console games. Not gameboy games. Link's Awakening was released on the original grey cart and the black DX cart.

>>1039905
One of them did, but I took it a part and cleaned it, so it works now.

$3 at a ghetto pawn shop.

I have both SMB/DH/WCTM varients.

>>1039750

I had a gold cart of Legend of Zelda ... for about an hour. I bought it at a used games store and I gave it away as a wedding present for a friend of mine.

From that moment on there's been a pain of regret in my heart out of fear that it will be peals before swine.

>>1039961
The last time I saw one in the wild was at flea market for $20. The dude wouldn't budge an inch on the price, so I had to walk. Thems the breaks.

I have some Twilight Princess trading cards.

>>1039971

I picked up the one I gave away for $22, which wasn't that bad in my opinion (I'm far, far used to people jacking up the price, like one store that tried to charge $40 bucks for OoT).

My biggest worry is that I gave it to someone who won't appreciate it, depriving it from someone who would.

>>1039983
>$40 bucks for OoT
Fuck that. Do you have an eBay account?

>>1039983
>>1039986
See this.

Video games r kewl.

>>1039758

Whoa. Wait, I've always thought each side had a picture of Sephiroth. It never occurred to me that it was a misprint. I've got the same thing.

>>1039994
Yeah, its pretty rare. Hold on to that, anon.

>>1039986

Don't worry about it, I wasn't looking for it. I happened to be browsing and saw the price and said "Fuck that" myself.

However, I do love my local used games store when I have the money. My brother picked up "Kid Dracula" for the Gameboy for around $25 (it's cheapest at $54.99 on ebay, non-import). He even talked to the counter guy about it and they were very well aware of the price it was going for. However, as they said, they were a business and needed to move product.

That endeared them to my heart forever.

>>1039878
Huh, neat. Didn't know that.

>>1039961
I actually have the grey carts, myself. I like the look of them better.

I thought about getting the gold carts, but really, what's the point? I'm not a "collector", I just want the games to play them.

>>1040004
Gold Ocarina Of Time is different in several ways, but that's the only one. The rest are exactly the same game.

>>1040004

I'm not really a collector myself, I just like it for stupid aesthetic reasons.

It's why I have a dreamcast, and dreamcast games, and it was a big day for me to get a copy of "Jet Grind Radio" mint in package for a steal and open it up.

Remember when the Gamecube was code-named the Dolphin? Sega did and thought the dreamcast would still be duking it out when the "Dolphin" hit the market, if the included mail-in poll is anything to go by.

>>1040014
Never played OoT and I don't even have an N64. So no difference for me, I guess.

>>1040018
>Remember when the Gamecube was code-named the Dolphin?
Yes. At the time I was under the impression that it would be a different console entirely.

>>1040023
Woah there, anon...
>2013
>Never played Ocarina Of Time
>Posting on /vr/
That game is a classic. I'm not gonna call you a faggot or anything because this isn't /b/ but, you should find a copy immediately.

>>1040030
Forgive me for growing up playing the older Zelda games and not being interested in the N64 at all. I never could get into the 3D Zeldas so I didn't bother.

I don't really see that as impacting my "retro gamer" cred or whatever, so I'm not in any particular hurry to remedy that.

>>1040023
The 3DS version is the best if its your first time.

>>1040038
Nothing wrong with that. The first Zelda game is one of my favorites.

>>1040043
Sorry if I came across as being defensive. I've gotten a lot of shit from people on the OoT hypewagon just because I wasn't interested in playing it myself.

>>1040046
It's all good, bro. I just love all Zelda games.

>>1039820
Actually, it's available with any issue of Nintendo Power 200.

>>1040014
People like you need to stop spreading the rumor that only the gold OoT carts have the differences. We should all know by now that there are four versions of NTSC OoT, two of which (one gold and one gray) have the differences.

>>1040080
The gray 1.0 cart is the not for resale version and it's nearly impossible to find. They very rarely turn up online and when they do, they sell for several hundred dollars.

>>1040093
I forgot about that version.

So there are five versions of NTSC OoT and three of them (gold, gray, and not for resale) are 1.0. The very first print of gray carts were 1.0 and looked identical to the other gray carts, except the numbers/letters stamped on the back were different.

>>1040103
The first round of gray carts had red blood, but I thought they were 1.1
If I'm not mistaken, some typos and the fire temple music were still different though.

>>1039743
I like my power grips because not many people have them, and they are very comfortable. Better than the dog bone.

Shin Megami Tensei with English translation swapped in. Not a super rare game or anything, but that box art...

I like my little JVC monitor because it's very square and basic. It just seems right for playing old-school stuff.

>>1040116
You ARE mistaken. That's where the other two versions come in. 1.0 and a version of the 1.1 carts were both printed before release, but there were a lot of 1.0 carts that got mixed in with the first shipment of 1.1 carts before the rest of the 1.0 carts were re-purposed.

>>1040120
Oh wow. I bought a Zipper controller that has those things on it. I thought they were part of the controller.

Here is some of my more uncommon/rare stuff. Obligatory Earthbound, MMX2, Terranigma, Fire Emblem Thracia 776, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Gradius II.

That Thracia 776 box is actually the last physical release on the SFC, in 2000. Pretty insane how they were still making SNES/SFC games until then.

my box of Banjo-Tooie that I wrote "Mike's" on in tiny ass font that i just found last week

>>1040203
>That Thracia 776 box is actually the last physical release on the SFC, in 2000

*1999

>>1040213
That's the Nintendo Power version, which was a cart writer service. That one did so well they released it in a traditional box, which was in 2000.

>>1040218
Oh, my bad dawg. I didn't even know it was a NP game... shit

I really don't have much right now, stopped collecting until I get a room. But conveniently everything fits in 2 cells.

2 pieces I will not mention for the sake of staying on topic but the other 2 definitely have to be my PSONE and my copy of Phantasy Star IV.

I really wanna get a Sega Genesis 3, it was the Genesis I grew up with, so once I obtain that it shall be crowned favorite object in the entertainment center.

>>1040223
For some reason those NP-only releases are pretty hard to find. Still haven't found that Super Famicom Wars...

NP Thracia 776 is pretty common though.

Two of my favorite pieces from my collection are my copy of Keio Flying Squadron for Sega CD and my Space Channel 5 promo poster.

>>1040229
Nice Sega CD model 1 you got there. Is it all in working order?

It's too bad they break down so often, because it looks much better than the model 2.

>>1040240
>it looks much better than the model 2.

It also has proper stereo (provided you use the headphone jack to source the audio) and a good sound chip.

>>1039983
That's how I feel. I gave one of my friends a Gameboy Pocket and an original Playstation for his birthday and they are sitting on his coffee table and have been for months. He claimed he really wanted them so it pisses me off that hes not gonna use em.

>>1040231
I still need to research the NP more, I know OF it, but not really about it. Know what I mean?

I recently got into DQ so I purchased Dragon Warrior I+II and Dragon Warrior III for the GBC.

>>1040041
Well too be honest the original still looks pretty darn good and being able to play it on a big tv would probably be a lot better than viewing that small screen.

Plus the coziness to some areas like the holes and Zora's Fountain just dissapeared with the remake in my opinion.

>>1040134
>It just seems right for playing old-school stuff.
because it is just an OEM commodore 1702 monitor

also pic semi related to thread topic

>>1040254
It was pretty neat way to get SFC games for cheap, without all the piracy issues the FDS had. It doesn't seem to have caught on too well though, NP carts are pretty uncommon in the wild. Also, you never know if it's a dud with no games on it, so you don't see them for sale much either.

NP duds are completely useless since the service has ended, but those white carts are very slick and great to use for donor carts.

>>1040240
To be honest I have no idea. I got it from a garage sale and the dude swore up and down that it worked. I don't have a power adaoter for it though so until then i can only hope.

My favorite piece is my nintendo hanafuda "daitoryo" deck my dad brought back from japan in the 80's. also the soviet elektronika clone of nintendo's octopus is really cool.

>>1040125
where did you get this, Anon? I want one too!

>>1040278
The Genesis model 1 adapter works on the Sega CD model 1, so if you get a second one you can try it out.

It's usually CD tray problems when they break down. There should be methods to fix it if it is broken, but it's a major pain in the ass to fix.

>>1040291
Yeah sadly I don't have a spare. I really need to pick one up.

>>1040274
Why don't we get the cool shit. So basically it was a FDS for the SFC, but a more specialized, smaller-scale type thing? I've never seen a kiosk before either, I like the SFC motif it has going on

I love this thing to no end.

>>1040278
>>1040291
An NES power adapter will also work with both model 1 Gennys and Sega CDs.

>>1040283
That's some neat stuff. I've wondered how to play Hanafuda ever since I watched Summer Wars.

>>1040304
NO. don't do this. seriously. Genny power adapters into NES consoles is okay, but not the other way around.

>>1040303
Fucking nice. I want one but they go for ridiculous prices.

>>1040297
It has a rewritable flash RAM chip, which you could put either 1 32mB game on, or 2-5 games up to 28mB total.(4 for the menu) The kiosks are unfortunately gone, who knows what happened to them.(along with the FDS kiosks)

The kiosks were usually at big grocery store chains, which were much easier for Nintendo to handle than the chains we have in the west. This is a pretty big reason we never got the FDS/NP.

>>1040312
I tried to learn how to play real hanafuda, but settled for "koi-koi"

>>1040313
Why do you say that?

>>1040324
The NES AC adapter is AC, which will break the Genesis. The NES however is versatile, and can take DC.

>>1039916
Anyone ever spraypaint a LTTP gold? They make some pretty good paint nowadays. Imma google one up.

>>1041160

Found this shit, no thanks.

>>1041172

I dig the custom label but the paint looks shitty as fuckballs, too yellow and poorly applied.

>>1041174

Could be golder, nice clearcoat though.

>>1041176

This is really, really nice.

>>1041205

Ok, after many google pages I've come to the conclusion that no one has yet made a really great, convincing gold SNES Zelda cart.

Which got me thinking, in what other colors were SNES carts made? I know Doom and Carnage are red and Killer Instinct is black, but are there any others?

>>1040203
> Thracia 776
so jelly

>>1039939
there are three

>>1041471
> rekt

>>1041221
>but are there any others?

that's it. if you count unlicensed, Super Noah's Ark 3d came on a black cart (that didn't look like a normal SNES cart)

>>1040286
A neo-geo.com forum user named The Webmiester has a thread selling repros including cases and stuff. I just asked to buy the PCB and swapped it into the Japanese cart

>>1039743
OP there are other video games besides Nintendo just so you know.

>>1040303
Excellent game choice too. Got that in my GB Pocket right now.

>>1041471
What the fuck is the difference between the left and middle?

>>1041581
Webmiester's website callanbrown.com

Getting that Zelda stand wasn't easy, but nothing worth having is.

>>1041590
The bars above the titles are darker on the left one. That's the only difference I can spot.

>>1041708
That Goldeneye watch is pretty cool. Where's you get it?

>>1041771
Looks like ebay has a few for okay prices at the moment.

>>1041771
>That Goldeneye watch is pretty cool. Where's you get it?

Place called Software etc. They were selling them when the game came out and I grabbed one when I went there to get Goldeneye. Since I originally brought enough money for two games, I though what the hell. I later found out the only other place you could get one was through some Nintendo power thing, apparently.

>>1041774
>Looks like ebay has a few for okay prices at the moment.

Yeah those are fine, but a friendly warning: they are Chinese knockoffs. Only the official incensed one has the hologram and stuff.

I have seen one on ebay once, but it was $100. But $100 isn't bad since they were $50 when they were new back in 97. Hell, they might even be worth more technically, just for being so damn rare.

I don't have anything super interesting, but whatever. The Game Gear is probably my favorite thing, just because it looks so damn cool in red. And yeah, I know the Neptunia lunchbox isn't retro but I really like it.

I need to dust the top of this bookshelf.

>>1041847
Now, if only the Game Gear wasn't an ugly battery hungry giant brick...

>>1041847
That Game Gear look slick in a Chad Warden slick

>>1041847

That Game Gear is cool. I've never seen one like that before

>>1041221
That's it for American cartridges. Japan also had the NP, which is white as seen >>1040318, plus there have been gold cartridges for contest prizes. It looks like they used the same kind of coating NES Zelda 1/2 used.

>>1042117
Here's the back.

>>1042117
pretty cool.

The only other gold sfc cart I've seen is the super bomberman 5 one.

>>1042143
There's also the Super Bomberman 2 Caravan Edition and possibly Tetris 2+Bombliss, but that's probably all of them.

>>1040116
you're mistaken. I have a 1.0 grey cart with red blood, fire temple music intact, etc.
