>software cassette

That's an interesting way to say cartridge.

>>518227

Bleh. My local shop sells those for $15.

>>518236
Surely you jest. Those must be in terrible condition, for that one is in MINT condition.

Plus, it's a fucking green label.
A GREEN LABEL.

oh my

>>518246

>skrillex

Full pleb.

>>518256
A few years ago that price may have made sense.

>>518261
You forgot to mention the sidebar, zsnes, and fantasy football

This is from a local shop who advertises on craigslist. I've wanted a NGCP for a long time, and these are basically the two games I want the most. Still, I think $100 is over priced. What do you think?

>>518272

>Iphone 4 4s Rilakkuma cell phone case

wat

http://lansing.craigslist.org/vgm/3759868807.html

I noticed this guy has been trying to sell this thing for weeks, he dropped the price down from 80 bucks. If anyone in the area wants a Pikachu N64, you can probably talk him down even more.

>>518296

Heh, I was already on that exact posting, about to post it myself. I've wanted a Pikachu N64 for a while. I saw one at a garage sale for $35 and didn't have enough cash, and I've hated myself ever since.

How about a 3ds?

>>518294

It's an iPhone case.

>>518369

I had a 3DS XL before that came out.

Steel Battalion anyone?
http://providence.craigslist.org/vgm/3747967226.html

>that CBFD

>>518405

That lot is still worth $50. CBFD's price is skyrocketing for some reason, even if the label is fucked.

>>518407
Definitley. If I wasn't one town over I'd do it

>>>518175
When I first opened that up, I thought I read "hyper 64 negro", and I thought we had finally discovered the long-lost prototype of the niggafied competitor to the Nintendo 64. "Is cal'd da hypah sis fo so u know it has mo hypah bits."

>>518430

>>518436

I think they still sell those with a few games on Play Asia for $75.

>>518276
for a pristine neo geo pocket color plus two boxed games? i would get it for the condition because most ngpc games you find WILL be loose.

i think i bought mine for $35 but it's not as nice and only came with some japanese slot machine game.

>>518484

I'm really tempted. I collect Sonic games, so I REALLY want that boxed copy of Pocket Adventure. That gigantic price sticker worries me though.

>>518329
Just wait a bit

>>518407
Because of the Bro Army faggots getting it after seeing PewDiePie

>>518497
this is what i paid $35 for a few years ago. you can't tell from the picture but there is a mild scuff on the left side (was that way when i got it)

reason most ngpc games are loose is because when snk got bought out the remaining games and systems got gutted and repackaged around 2003 without their boxes or manuals so finding one with a box and manual is pure gold.

if you don't mind loose most ngpc games can be bought for cheap and generally are quite fun to play, especially the fighters like "gals fighters"

>>518528

I've heard so many people say that you can find a NGPC for cheap, but then every time I look for one, they're all $75+. Frustrating.

>>518528
this is what my collection looks like now, paid less than $75 for all of it (forgot exactly how much but it was cheap) still need to get the sonic game and that one stratagy game faseli or something...

either way gals fighters is one of the best games on the system

>>518545

Can't see shit, captain.

>>518545
I only have 2 games (snk vs capcom, sonic). I also tore the screen's protector off because it got so scratched that I could barely see stuff in the games.

>>518575
that makes me cringe

>>518175

Yeah, its good price. Normally a sistem + cartrige goes for 100(not in ebay of course) bucks so 55 ifor both is ok.

>>518609

I know almost nothing about arcade boards. How would I get video out of this thing?

Nintendo UForce, buyer wants $75 and it's apparently 'never been opened'

I don't know shit about this one.

>>518582
I was like 11. I still hate myself for it, though.

>>518227
Super rare! Totally no one ever bought this!

>>518616

If you are not a tech-head or tinkerer don't even bother, its way to complicated.

Basically is this:

This

http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Hyper_Neo_Geo_64


The device you need to run arcade games on a tv its called supergun, dont bother with the red ones on ebay, they are absolute crap.

Also you got to learn about the jamma harness and other shits. Search in the arcade otaku wiki for the jamma article.

>>518625
AVGN had it in a vid. Its ass, naturally.

>>518665

Well, I'm always up for learning something new, but maybe this isn't the best thing to start with.

>>518625
Total junk as a peripheral. I wouldn't pay that even if I was a collector.

>>518545
Can you take them out of the cases?

Can't read the labels.

>>518528
>>518545
This is my NGPC collection thus far. Everything pictured, over the years, has probably only cost me about $120.

I only paid $20 for Faselei!, too, which is a steal.

>>518727
>I only paid $20 for Faselei!, too, which is a steal.
Japanese version.
The US version is rarer

>>518670
Nah he actually said it was bretty good.

>>518765
It is the US version. I just got it this week, been playing it a bunch. It's fun as hell.

>>518770
It actually looked surprisingly responsive for some games. I know my Powerglove is like that. It's great for Super Glove Ball, but not for much else.

>>518832
That all looks to be decent condition, and $100 is fair, if a bit high. Offer $80, settle on $90, good to go.

>>518789
What?
Wouldn't there be an ESRB rating on that?

>>518847
Maybe it's bootleg then, but either way, it's Faselei and it plays great.

It's certainly in English. I'm doing some research now. It appears to be the UK cart.

>>518882
Oh. Interesting.
I need to see if UK copies are cheaper.
I also need a NGPC

>>518856
That looks like it's in good shape, but there's no real way to tell without seeing it turned on. It very likely has bad caps.

Otherwise, that's a fair price.

>>518885
Oh, and what's a recommended list?

>>518856

Good price, I'd go for it.

>>518905
Also is this a good deal?
Polite sage because of post count

>>518914
I think you forgot your pic.

Also, games I would recommend:
Metal Slug 1st and 2nd Mission
Match of the Millenium
Faselei
Dark Arms Beast Buster 1999
Cardfighters Clash
Samurai Showdown 2
King of Fighters R2
Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure
Neo Turf Masters

>>518939
1. Is Gals Fighters worth getting?
2. How do you propose I get Faselei? Is text imperative?

>>518942
That's a pretty good price. You could probably do cheaper local, but still, not bad at all. Considering that it would take very little effort to get that, I'd say go for it if you're interested.

Also, be careful posting ebay links on /vr/. Some anon might snipe you.

>>518951
I live in Long Island

>>518946
I hear Gals Fighters is amazing, but I've yet to find a copy for myself.

As far as Faselei goes, search it on Amazon. There's a guy selling it for ~$20, but the picture is a Bob the Builder keychain. It's legit. It's where I got mine, the one that appears to be the UK copy. Text is important. It's a text-heavy game, and if it's the JP copy, you're going to need a guide to play, and I think that would diminish the enjoyment of playing it.

>>518958
I'm in CT, so I'm a hop, skip, and ferry ride away. I also definitely recommend you taking a trip to Westport, CT, to visit Retro Games Plus. Fantastic local retro games shop, really cool owner, reasonable prices.

>>518963
>but the picture is a Bob the Builder keychain
Never understood this
Well, I did just buy Nocturne for the PS2 but I have $150 left
I'll go and snag it

>>518974
My brother's currently attending Hartford. How far is it? Maybe I can get him to snag it and send it my way.

>>518980
From Hartford, Westport is probably about an hour and a half away. I drive about 45 minutes to go to RGP, and I know Hartford is roughly 30-45 minutes for me, depending on which part of Hartford I'm going to.

As far as I know, they don't have any NGPC systems right now, though they do have some games.

Check them out

>>518832
Is that an NES-001? One of these can be sold for up to 10,000$ Go for it dawg!

>CT
holy shit /vr/troopers near me? Im in hartford!
anyways, closest place is The Gaming Source in southington

>>519119
I'm in Wallingford, myself, so I go to The Gaming Source now and then, but I much prefer to make the trip to Westport, even if it's twice as far.

The Gaming Source's selection is pretty abysmal, and it seems like the owner doesn't even try to bring in new stock anymore. I can't be mad at them, because I got Panzer Dragoon there, but I'm disappointed pretty much every time I go. The comic book shop next to them is pretty good, though.

CT's Craigslist is a bit barren, and when it isn't, it's all shitheads trying to get crazy prices. I did meet one bro who was willing to come to fair prices on some Sega CD stuff, though. I got Popful Mail, Lunar, and Robo Aleste, all with disc and manual, for $90.

>>519119
I'm in Suffolk
My brother's attending university at Hartford, though

>>518175
It says what it is right in the description, fool. Pony up the chash and stop derping.

Depending on how beat up the actual Gameboy is, this seems like it might be a good deal. Should I investigate further?

>>519173
Why not?

graded....

>>519173
Yeah dude, go for it. The GB box is cool as hell.

>>519185

>rated 80
>210 dollars please

Yeah naw. I already don't support that graded shit by refusing to buy it, but at 80 dollars? I wouldn't give more than 5 bucks. Those things aren't exactly sought after when you can get a DS Lite for cheaper and do more with it.

I remember seeing these a long while ago.

>>519198
Fuck I remember these. I had Poliwhirl and Pikachu.

>>519143
>>519119
>think im obscure in western Connecticut

>>519196
$210, but yea the graded stuff is so overpriced. I wonder who buys this crap...

oh boy, a sega genesis and three games for $10!

>>519225
I smirked

>>519225

The other shit is garbage but Genesis is worth 10 bucks. Only problem being I see no cables, but those are pretty easy to get.

http://fayar.craigslist.org/vgm/3760302344.html
Seems like a good buy to me.

>>519220
To be fair, Northwestern CT is pretty empty, but very pretty. How's the flea market and videogame scene up there? I hear the New Milford Indoor Flea Market is great, but I've yet to go.

For as shitty as it can be, I like New Haven County. Best pizza in the world.

>>519225
I mean, hey, $10 for a Genesis ain't bad.

>>519237
>>519247
I'm considering buying it because I really want a genesis and $10 sounds cool.

just thought it was funny that he posed it with three completely unrelated games

Buckle up your sides.

It's not Craigslist but I had to post this

>>519250
Go for it, dude. Cables are easy to find, and lots of the classics on the system (Sonic games, etc) are pretty damn cheap.

>>519258
How are people this stupid?

another Sega-related find
a dreamcast and a saturn, with cables and possibly controllers, for $50 total
and the dreamcast is black which I didn't know existed

>>519273
yeah I'm probably going to buy that

>>519293
That one's actually a really good deal. Jump on that.

>>519293
What's with the cart in the back of the staturn anyways? I've never owned one.

>>519309
Looks like a memory card. I need to get one of the Action Replay 4M carts, so I have the additional RAM and can play imports.

>>519316
Oh, I see.

I though it might take genesis and 32x games

backup memory, for storing game saves.

would 10 model 1 genesis with no cables or controllers be worth it for 50 bucks?

>Same ad gets posted every week
>There are two or three big retro game shops in that area
>They travel around and buy up everything in the tri-state area and resell them at Ebay prices

I know this for a fact because they always talk about Craigslist whenever I visit the shops. One of them is even advertised regularly on the site.

>>519293
That's a good deal, plus that Dreamcast is a Sega Sports edition, there were only like 5,000 of those made.

>>519316

Just ordered one yesterday. Now I will patiently wait 57 years for Play-Asia to ship it to me.

>>519327

Nah. It's an expansion port for memory cards and stuff. Some games required a RAM cart to play, similar to the N64 Expansion Pak. Most people buy the Action Replay 4M cart, which acts as a memory card, RAM cart, cheat device, and region-bypasser.

>>519250

Yesterday a guy was clearing out a business and I found a Genesis game for sale, and what loked like a Genesis video cable laying about . I asked him if he had other stuff but he said he just doesn't know because he's got all this shit in the back.

Long story short, talked with the guy and he said I can come back tomorrow and get first dibs on any game stuff and he'll hold it for me. I want a Genesis bad and signs seem to indicate he might have one. He already sold me the game for 50 cents, which was perfect in box NBA Jam.

But yeah dude 10 bucks is a good deal I'd hit that. You may want to ask if it works though.

>>519339

Wait, you mean 10 consoles? You could sell each of those for 20 or 30 bucks. If you're willing to jump through the hoops, you could turn a nice profit. Keep one for yourself.

>>519361

Vouching for retro games plus

It was an hour away, but well worth it. Their selection was really great, brother and I got a few ones we'd been looking for and I nabbed castlevania legends for 1/2 of >ebay price. Actually found 3/5 of the games I'd went with in mind. Guys were helpful and "knew" retro, it felt like.

Then we went to the pizza place next door, felt like childhood.

>>519245
I'll be sure to check that out soon, didn't even know that flea market existed. Seems like it's a half hour away

>>519309
It's doubles as a memory card slot AND some games had things like, say backgrounds or something on the cart so there would be less to load from the disc. One of the reasons the system is so complex to emulate

>>519378

>>519368
>HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR?

>have to wait forever for my Action Replay cart to get here

>>519374
Retro Games Plus really is great. It really reminds me of what Funcoland was like back in the day. If I didn't live nearly an hour away I would work there. I spend at least 2-3 hours there (and usually upwards of $100) every time I go.

I usually go to the Redwood Flea Market on the line between Wallingford and North Haven. Best find I got there was a Nomad for $30 and Streets of Rage 3 for $4.

I'm gonna try to check out the New Milford one this weekend.

>>518175
Nope. As much as I love SNK, there's a reason it was discontinued...The 3D samurai shodowns are the worst in the series.

>>519453

Is there an emulator.

>>519453
I've never played them because I've never even seen a cabinet for one. I would love to try one.

How much would you pay for a new Ps?

>>519345
>plus that Dreamcast is a Sega Sports edition, there were only like 5,000 of those made.
AW SHIT NIGGA
I have one
It plays burned discs

>>519476

Sage dollars.

>>519482
Without any mods? Was the Dream cast security that shit?

>>519482

I don't have the matching controller for mine. Feels autstic, man.

>>519489
Pretty much, yeah. You can burn games for DC extremely easily.

>>519393
I have the US version of Clockwork Knight. It's bretty gud, but can end up requiring pixel perfect jumps

>>519489

How out of the loop are you? All Dreamcasts manufactured before a certain date (Oct. 2000 I believe) can play burned games on regular CD-R's with no modification.

>>519491
A while back, I posted all my Sega consoles, and my DC is the only white one in the bunch. Someone replied:
POOR LITTLE WHITE DREAMCAST

I would love the Sega Sports one, but without a black controller, I would honestly pass.

>>519491
I do. Still works because I only used the blue transparent controller as a kid

>>519509

I actually use a blue transparent one right now, only because I have a matching VMU.

>>519507
I never had a dreamcast and there weren't any must have games on it that I couldn't play later on another system

>>51948
I don't think the threads need any more bumps and I'm a little off topic.
Stop being anal about sages.

>>519521

>there weren't any must have games on it that I couldn't play later on another system

>But Dreamcast isn't really /vr/ material.

This has been discussed to death and decided. It is.

>>519584
I'm not feeling it

and like I said, most of those games came out on other systems

>>519609
>not feeling a single game in that list

For real? Not a one of those sounds even a little fun to you?

>>519595
Where was it decided? It's a 6th gen system, full-stop. No way you can claim it's 5th gen. What would that make Saturn?

>>519609

No they didn't. I specifically Dreamcast exclusives. This proves that you are biased against the Dreamcast and predisposing yourself to brushing its library off. If you want to ignore an entire console library and miss out on dozens of amazing games, suit yourself.

>>519584
Don't forget Mars Matrix

>>519617
Generation is an arbitrary categorization that does not limit nostalgia and time.

>>519621
>>519627
Its not that they're not fun

It's just that the ones that appealed to me where on other systems

>>519637
Not really. Daytona, Sega GT, Sega Rally, HotD, etc

Lots of those had other releases.

>>519617

>It's a 6th gen system, full-stop.

That sentence quite literally makes no sense. "Generation" is an arbitrary categorization that we created. There's no way that any console can "full stop" be in any generation, as it's a made up word from the outset.

It was decided that Dreamcast was okay when the janitors/mods stopped deleting Dreamcast threads and instead started pruning them of anti-Dreamcast posts.

>>519634
>does not limit nostalgia

I would argue that it does, but that's purely subjective.

I do think including the Dreamcast is a slippery slope, and I've already seen people saying that the GBA is retro, and that's a load of shit. If 1999 is going to be the cutoff, why not include games, and not just systems? A date is way too fuzzy. Generational demarcations work better.

>>519453

None of those games were released on other consoles. House of the Dead 2 is in that Wii collection now, but not back then, and you have to use the Wii remote.

>>519654
It's best if we just remove the gen rule, as it's more of a backup. Also, include 2000 and only 2000.

>>519654

>something black and white like a manufacture date is fuzzy
>"generation" is less vague

wat

>>519652
Well, it does make sense, since console generations are groupings of system that shared similar features and technology released around the same time.

The NES and SMS are 3rd generation consoles, have similar graphical capabilities, and came out in a similar timeframe.

The Playstation, Saturn, and N64 are 5th generation. They have similar graphical capabilities, and came out in a two year time-frame.

The Dreamcast, PS2, GC, and Xbox are sixth generation, and feature similar technology, and came out within two years of one another.

>>519669
Space Channel 5, but that also has a PS2 port

not much retro from perth

>>519669
The Daytona USA port for XBLA and PSN is totally different than the Dreamcast one.

>>519671

Stop reveling in your own ignorance. It's a very good video game, and you will thank me when you get the chance to play it one day.

>>519663

>>519689

>I'm ignorant so there!
great retort, bud

I don't know or care whether this is a good deal. It sounds vaguely reasonable, and I mean goddamn, just look at those custom controllers.

I'm practically salivating right now. Wish I had the scratch for it.

http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/vgm/3733727353.html
oh my god what

>>519669

I didn't know we were counting modern collections and re-releases. In any case.

>Ecco
Didn't know that.

>Daytona USA
The version on modern consoles is a completely new game. Not the Dreamcast version.

>Power Stone 1/2
Those versions are inferior, and you would never want to play a 4-player game like Power Stone on a handheld anyways.

>Sama De Amigo
It was a sequel with inferior controls. The original game is still exclusive, and it's the only good one.

>House of the Dead 2
I mentioned that. Again, only the Dreamcast version uses a proper light gun.

>Typing of the Dead
Fair enough.

>>519665
Scratch that, just 1999. That will set off PS2 and start a chain reaction

>>519698
Sorry for you? I don't know.

>>519676
Yes. Under current rules, if the SYSTEM was released in or before 1999, the games on the system are magically good to go. In the case of the DC, this includes games still being made, but as far as commercial releases go, that's still 2002, which is decidedly modern.

If we go by generation, we avoid that problem much better.

>>519680

Here's an exercise for you.

Count how many games the Dreamcast has in common with "5th gen" consoles.

Then count how many it has in common with "6th gen" consoles.

>>519707
That's why I think the DC is a slippery slope. A firm cut off, excluding the DC, is for the best.

It's a great system and I love it, but let's wait a few more years to discuss it on /vr/

>>519697

Are you implying that the Saturn Daytona USA is the same game as the Dreamcast one?

>they have the same title so they're identical

>>519725
They're the same core game, man. You're talking about differences between ports of the same game.

>>519698

I guess I kind of pity the fact that you're a closed-minded weirdo who's purposefully depriving himself of great games just to make some sort of point, but I'll get over it I guess.

>>519698
I feel sad that there are people who seem to take delight in their own short attention spans and ignorance and arrogance.

>>519724
I mean with employing 2000 systems.
DC is clear enough to apply under the current ruleset.

It leans more to 6th gen. Dreamcast got upgraded ports of 5th gen games, but lots of DC games appeared on other systems.

>>519714

Except you forget about games like Paper Mario, Conker, and Tony Hawk 2, which were released on "5th gen" consoles but after the year 2000.

Playstation:
>released before 1999, got games after 1999

N64:
>released before 1999, got games after 1999

Dreamcast:
>released before 1999, got games after 1999

Man, I know this isn't /vr/, but...is this totally worth it or not?

>>519728

You have never played either.

>they're both racing games which stock cars they might as well be the same game

>>519748

No, a lot of Dreamcast games were ported to 6th gen consoles once it was discontinued. Find some true multiplats.

>>519750
That's why I'm saying go by generation, not year of system release. The vast majority of 5th gen releases were prior to 1999. The vast majority of Dreamcast releases were post-1999.

>>519753

How's being 12 working out for you?

>>519765
Pretty good, all things considering

Pasta:

Here's my argument for why the Dreamcast should be allowed on /vr/.

1) In the sticky, two criteria were given for what counts as retro: release date and generation. The release date of a console is cut and dry; the Dreamcast was released in 1998 in Japan, and 1999 elsewhere, and that's a fact. "Generation" is a human-imposed category that is not nearly as straight forward. The Dreamcast was released at the end of what is traditionally thought of as the "5th generation" and lived until the beginning of the "6th generation". It doesn't fit nicely into either category. As the Dreamcast satisfies one criteria but fails to satisfy the other, I believe we should default to the one that is objective and fact-based.

2) The N64 and Playstation received new releases well after 1999, and yet those games seem to be okay to discuss in /vr/. I have seen threads about several early 2000's games, e.g. Paper Mario, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, etc. Similarly then, Dreamcast games released in the early 2000's should be fine.

Playstation: Released prior to 1999, received games after 1999
N64: Released prior to 1999, received games after 1999
Dreamcast: Released prior to 1999, received games after 1999

3) Finally, many of the games in the Dreamcast's library are multiplatform games which appear on the N64 and Playstation. Discussing these games on those consoles, but barring discussion of them on the Dreamcast is absurd.

>>519758
>never played either

Did you miss the part where I posted a picture of myself holding the goddamn game?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I43WXMyhAKw

The courses follow similar designs and they play similarly.

>>519779

What part of the word "identical" don't you understand?

>these Streetfighter games have the same characters with the same moves and stuff, so they're all the same game

>>519772
I can see the logic in that argument, but I think there are true generational differences between consoles, and that the Dreamcast fits in far better with the PS2/GC/Xbox.

The gulf between the power of the PSX/Saturn/N64 and the DC is massive.

>>519772
This. Fucking this.
>b-but new games
The NES is still getting games. Does that nullify it?
Plus, damn near everyone wants it. Why take away good discussion?

>>519789
Those are literally the same courses. Ports are ports. The DC port of Daytona is very good. It is NOT an exclusive simply because it has differences from other versions.

>>519794

It's a completely different engine. There are even new tracks (though I've never played Championship edition, so maybe they were taken from that). At worst you could call it a remake.

>>519793
I think it will lead to people saying "b-b-but games on the GBA are mostly 2D it's totally retro" or "but the PS2 came out in 2000, and we can talk about the DC!"

I just think it opens up a can of worms that is far less "retro"

>>519804
But being ahead of it's time =/= not retro

>>519803
It's still not an exclusive. Someone who played Daytona on Saturn would be comfortable and familiar with the DC port of it. Both are home console ports of an arcade game.

>>519804

Stop with this slippery slope crap. That is literally considered to be one of the core logical fallacies that you would learn about in the first week of any Freshman philosophy or logic class.

It's not as if the Dreamcast got new games well into the mid 2000's or anything. It died off at the same time the N64 and PS1 did.

>>519808
It's not that far ahead of its time. It came out in the same comparative timeframe (2 years) that marked the release differences between the Genesis and SNES and the PSX and N64. The difference in release date between the DC and the PS2/GC is also 2 years. It fits in much better with the latter than the former.

>>519669
the PS2 port of ecco the dolphin has plenty of issues regarding the port, hence the DC version is superior

>>519507
there's a circled number next the region code. If it's a 0 or 1, it'll play burned discs fine. If it's 2, you need a utopia boot disc

>>519816
And that's my main point.
PS2 people won't have a reason because it's past the cutoff. No exceptions.
DC is 1999

>>519809

>Three new tracks were also specially designed for this game

>The game's graphics were significantly updated from previous home installments of Daytona USA

>It was also playable online, allowing for competition between up to four players and uploading/downloading of best times and ghost car information

>Another addition to Daytona USA 2001 was the Championship mode, where the player must place above a certain point in the overall rankings to progress, culminating in the King of Daytona Cup.

>However, the game still does not handle exactly like the original arcade version of Daytona USA even when using a racing wheel.

>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytona_USA_2001

posted this last time but whatever

>>518246
What the fuck is it with GC games like Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion selling for crazy stupid prices (up to $35 for a caseless copy on Kijiji). Seriously? Why are gamecube games so goddamn expensive

>>519826
"But Skies of Arcadia was released on Dreamcast, why can't I talk about it on Gamecube?"

"Marvel vs Capcom 2 came out on Dreamcast, why can't I talk about it on Xbox or PS2?"

"Grandia 2 came out in 2001, why can't I talk about Final Fantasy X, which also came out in 2001?"

>>519860
Because the rules say only 1999 and earlier hardware

>>519832
Saturn Netlink version of Daytona had online.

No home port is the same as the arcade version.

>>519860

"But Tony Hawk 2 came out on the Dreamcast, why am I forced to talk about the Playstation version?"

"But Third Strike came out in 1999, how come I can talk about that but not Soul Calibur?"

>>519791
the Dreamcast was designed and released to compete with the Playstation and the N64. It was all over when the PS2 showed up, for the Dreamcast.

>2 weeks ago
>See a Sega CD/Genesis bundle with a few games for "$80 FIRM"
>Game selection is fairly decent, but overall, the bundle is worth maybe $60
>try to haggle the guy down but he refuses to budge
>Move on


>Be yesterday
>See the same ad
>"$100 FIRM"

Lmao dumbass what the fuck

>>519878
That Netlink version is rare as fuck. It's impossible to tell if you have it though unless you open the manual.

>>519843

The prices will eventually fall. I really want Wario Land but fuck me it's just a bit too much for me to fork over any money for it. I guess Wario might be proud of my stinginess.

>>519876
I understand, but all of those statements conform to this argument:

3) Finally, many of the games in the Dreamcast's library are multiplatform games which later appeared on the PS2 and Gamecube. Discussing these games on those Dreamcast, but barring discussion of them on the those consoles is absurd.

>>519887

Dammit, I meant Wario World. Sorry I'm tired.

>>519885
isn't it marked on the cover that it's netlink compatible?

>>519892
That was in context to N64 and PS1, where they're already allowed.

>>519293
Damn that's a pretty good deal. Looks like the model 2 controllers too, those are way better than the Model 1s (which had these weird and fucked up shoulder buttons that felt like mouse buttons, shit you not). Those memory cards aren't exactly easy to find either.

>>519892

So I guess because there was a Gamecube version of Resident Evil 2, we're not allowed to talk about any Playstation or N64 games, because that game was on those consoles as well.

>>519904
Nope. Looks exactly the same as the Circuit Edition or whatever.

Sidenote, anyone know of any way to play Daytona USA online today at all? I have someone in the UK I want to play it with but we can't find a way.

>>519906
Right, and if the Dreamcast is allowed, why not the ports of its games on GC or PS2?

Someone is selling a bunch of Nintendo 64 games. Some are good deals like F-Zero X for $6, but then there's Conker's Bad Fur Day for $70.

I might just get Jet Force Gemini, F-Zero X, Star Wars Rouge Squadron and Pokemon Snap all costing around $20, which I suppose it's a neat deal.

>>519915

Just get the XBLA/PSN game.

>>519915
I know there's a community of Netlinkers worldwide, but I think you need a landline. It's apparently really hard to do today.

>>519895
how does the crown stay on her head

>>519915
If I remember from youtube, the Netlink is independent of ISP's, you just need the phone number of the opponent to dial up.

>>519923
High level princess magic

>>519921
How the hell would that even work?

>>519930
see
>>519924

>>519918
Because of the games being allowed so long as the platform is 1999 or earlier

>>519918

Oh no, OoT was released on the Gamecube! If we let people talk about OoT, they might start talking about Gamecube games! Better ban all discussion of OoT. Actually, to be safe, let's just ban all N64 discussion. Wouldn't want a handful of people to mention a port once or twice, that would be the worst thing ever.

>>519923

Probably some princess magic. I wonder if the whole floating in the air thing has ever been properly explained? I know it's from SMB2 but it was in melee too. Maybe like Zelda, she just has that princess magic.

>>519934
let's just ban all n64 discussions cause
>nogaems
inb4 someone replaces N64 with Saturn in my post and says FTFY

>>519920
Yeah I don't use my Xbox 360 at all. More of a PC guy, as is said friend.

>>519924
>>519921
Might look into this a bit more. Not sure if it would work for my case though since I want something that can work from the US to UK.

>>519941
well, in theory, all you would have to do is put in your phone providers international code, followed by 44 (for the Uk)
Up here in Canada, as an example, the international number is:
01144 + UK phone number

>>519882

hahahahaha

love it when people are stubborn on a fucking CLASSIFIEDS AD. Like, come the fuck on, be flexible

>>519119
>>519143
Oh wow. I had a horrible break up with a bitch from Bristol in December and she made off with like half my fucking game collection.

If she decides to sell any of it, it'll probably end up at Gaming Source. She loves that place.

If any of you folks come into possession of a CiB Starfox 64, Majora's Mask, or Shadows of the Empire any time soon, enjoy. My balls have touched those boxes and carts.

>>520425
Well, I have those CiB already, so I don't have to worry about your balls having touch my hands by proxy way of games.

Sorry to hear about your loss, though. You should have pressed charges against the cunt.
