  1. They are the real ones, I bought mine from them too :love:

     

     

    "Thanks Lance, I always knew you were a real person..." I also picked up My copy of Halloween with manual and Texas Chainsaw with manual from them in like 2002...no boxes though...

     

    Good group of guys there...

  2. I picked up a save mary cart in 2004...I purchased mine from Video 61...It came in a not so cool white box and is still in the original shrinkwrap job they had done...

     

    What is the story behind those games purchased from them when compared to any other places? Is my save mary the same quality as yours? If not, I for one am pissed...I also purchased Klax, The Monitor Cart with Huge manual and Pit Fighter from them the same year...Are these fakes? Did I get ripped? God I feel like an idiot right now.....

     

    YGTBFKM! (unless i got the good stuff)

     

    Someone please fill me in if you have dealt with this company before....

  3. with over 100 neo geo games on a multicart I have right now spanning all genres pretty much I'd say thats pretty good and likely better than jaguar. its a neat system but its got nothing on neo geo or for that matter alot of other hardware

     

     

    Stop doing trips...makes you imagine this kind of nonsense. The NeoGeo is not even close to the JAguar in terms of anything

    except good fighters.

     

     

    The Neo Geo was soley arcade based games...In fact it gets props as being the first and only system to really provide a true arcade feel in your own home, hence the reason why the neo geo aes system ever game out to begin with...The neo geo system was supposed to be for sale to businesses and bars alike for entertainment, then some consumers (a select group) suggested they would pay the 600 bucks for a home console,...the home console had amazing sound and arcade style joysticks to give you the feel. I think Neo was saying the systems are completely different because they were when it came to 2D and 3D gaming....The jag was great at introducing its games and the Neo was great at its games, but the two never shared a single game as far as I know.. The specs are there in number format, but what About the first experience you had playing a neo geo? Or that of a Jaguar? I think the experiences would have to speak for themselves....Would you pump quarters into a jaguar game at the arcade...or an SNK game? You decide....there are so many opinions out there on this matter....I prefer my Neo Geo and I just found Metal Slug X in the wild so I need to sell some stuff so I can afford a new MVS converter II..I hear I could actually play the game then....all I have now is a crappy old converter...

  4. "Deleted the pricing on the Sham Show and the slugs..didnt realize they were cheaper...thanks for the correcting the price that I was bragging about...Either way I was stoked about the trade..."

     

    I'm not saying dont be stoked about the trade - i was under the assumption that the those were the prices the dealer quoted you

     

    "For the record the dealer only had these neo geo games marked as 30 dollars tops...Metal Slug X was 30 bucks and the others were 25...But then there was Sam Show 3 marked at 75$ Either way...As mentioned I traded and spent 20 bucks cash..." The booth guys were very fair on the pricing...They had an aquarius in box keyboard for 20$ didnt pick that one up though....maybe next time...

  5. "Where is Rock n' Roll Racing"??? Amazing sound on the Sega, but great gameplay on the Super Nintendo...That had some killer tracks and nothing beats hearing "Olaf is in First!" Or "Someone looks lost out there!" Or any of the other awesome voiceovers and then there was the awesome quitar music for its time.......Nana nana nananaa

     

    Amazing! Those were the days of Racing....right there my friends...

  6. On the Ps3 can you tilt the controller to tilt the machine....or do you have to press a button...I think that would make it more like playing hte pinball machine in an arcade if you could just tilt the controller a bit, but not too much....

     

    Pinball is great....this will be a must buy!

     

    Unfortunately not.....I cant beleive they dropped the ball on this as it would have made it even better. Still a great must by game though. Every table looks and plays fantastic. I have to agree with what Moycon said though, I have the PS3 version but the 360 controller is much better for pinball games. It just feels better. I'm still happy witht he PS3 version though so whichever you get its going to be VERY good.

     

    I agree with Moycon as well, the 360 controller does feel alot nicer in your hands, but I prefer the Ps3 controller when it comes to using the thumb pads as buttons...they seem to be so much more responsive and accurate....

  7. Borderlands for the Ps3 is suppose to be alright and then I need to Purchase DjHero on the Ps2..What good is a Ps2 collection without the last couple biug boxed games? I still need to drop back and pick up a couple of the singstar new games as well, but after that I am good on the next gen stuff...Just dropping back to the classics from here on out..Need to grow my intellivision collection...

  8. The PS1 lightspan collection even come with a lightspan carrying bag and a ps1 system complete...

     

    What the hell is a lightspan collection?

     

    "Ok, I'm not an expert on the PS1 Lightspan, but this is what I have and what I know...I have a lightspan printed carrying case with a ps1 inside of it...The ps1 is branded with a blackmarker..with a mark of maybe a school district..some letters and numbers is what is on it...The ps1 is near mint and smells new, but is not in a box...Then I have a broshure in a zipper case...looks like it spells out the specifics of the Lightspan plan...I also have now got three of the blue box items shown in the picture above...Inside each box I have about 50 discs in individual sleeves...the sleeves suggest the topic of study a student would be participating in when they checked out said disc....Kinda neat...Ive read they came out in 1996 or so until about 1998...the pamplet in the zipper sleeve...suggests a phone number and when I called..it was a play doh rep?

    Kinda neat stuff, I guess the school districts paid thousands for this material and systems instead of what they would have paid for computers?

     

    This was a deal and a half considering Sam Show 2 is 150 plus along with the MVS Slugs..this is an amazing trade...

     

    "Deleted the pricing on the Sham Show and the slugs..didnt realize they were cheaper...thanks for the correcting the price that I was bragging about...Either way I was stoked about the trade..."

     

    thats a good deal?! dude, check your prices, you got RIPPED! Those games COMBINED do NOT cost $150.

     

     

    Did I mention there was a brand new Turbo Grafx in a box....I dont even think the system was played, but the box shows shelf wear...

  9. This here was all found here in Michigan at a new found flea market trade center....who would have thunk, I worked at the Credit Union on Friday...During my one moment of being able to check a local craigslist posting, I would come across a posting for a local flea market..This flea market was a 2 hour drive from where I live, but the decision was made...There was this cheesy post for laser discs 1$ Each...I got home Friday night, called up my laser disc buddy....we set out for this new flea market at 8 am sharp. Upon deciding to go...I hurried to gather up any trade bait I may have had. I stayed up til 2:30 Saturday morning and finally had my swag for trades....What would I bring?

     

    I narrowed it down to some 300 regular xbox games....previously posted on a forum for sale or trades....Not too many takers..so I quickly yanked those earlier in the week....Either way upon arrival at this flea market...I was shocked to come across as pictured in this posting...Neo Geo MVS games...Metal Slug 1...2...and X.....

     

    No freaking way...I asked if they wanted xbox games and they said they would look at them....sure enough we worked out a trade and 20$ (actually 50 dollars, but sold the aes contr for 30$) for the pictured items and a neo geo classic arcade controller not pictured....The PS1 lightspan collection even come with a lightspan carrying bag and a ps1 system complete...

     

    This was a deal and a half considering Sam Show 2 along with the MVS Slugs were in the trade..this is an amazing trade...

     

     

    "The laserdisc add led me there, but when we got to the booth that suggested they sold Laser Disc movies for a buck....the Laser Discs were CED's not Laser Discs....either way my buddy picked up a Laser Disc Beatled Abbey Road or something like that...He was just as stoked as I was...."

  10. s for games...

     

     

    Tron 2.0: Killer App is a must have. THe game itself is great, but it also includes the arcade Tron and Discs of Tron -- the only home versions of these classics (and they appear to be emulated as well!). Oh, and the arcade games are not "unlockables" -- you can play them from the second you power it up!

     

    I also endorse

     

    Super Mario World -- Has both Super Mario World AND the original arcade Mario Brothers.

     

    Konami Arcade Classics -- try the classic "Konami Code" on all in this pack for surprising new extras. It contains Scramble, Rush N Attack, TIme Pilot, Frogger, Yia Ar Kung Fu and Gyruss.

     

    Williams Arcade Classics -- Robotron, Joust, Sinistar, and one other I cant recall right now

     

    Klax / Marble Madness -- Skip the Marble Madness on this one -- it has only 3 levels and is quite lame. Klax, however is a shining gem. Arcade perfect.

     

    Lego Starwars

     

    Golden Nugget Casino -- only because its the only casino game I can find for the GBA. It appears to me to play fast with the rules at times, but that may just be me.

     

     

    Stay away from Rampart / Gauntlet. Gauntlet isn't bad.. but its repetitive, just like the arcade game. Rampart, on the other hand LOOKS like the arcade, but it breaks so many rules set forth by the arcade version that it doesn't play like the arcade version.

     

     

    I think the GBA SP was a great system for being a portable choice....now one question I dont think has been asked here..Do you want it for on the go or just for the selection of games....

    If you are looking for an on the go My vote is in there for the SP with the brighter back lit screen,...you can tell it has a brighter back lit screen by the color of the caseing...There was a Onyx (I think) a pearl blue (I think) and a pink one...? SOmeone check on that...but if you want the gameboy for the games and you have a GAMECUBE...PICK up the gameboy player attatchment and play them on your bigger screen...I think the micro is too small, but on your own tv..you pick the size....

     

    Good luck with your decisions and if you cant find a gameboy player with disc let me know and I can trade ya one...

  13. Someone clearly took a black marker to the cart. You can even see a tiny bit of black on the upper-right edge of the label. The auction description even states, "SHELL WAS COLORED BLACK WITH MARKER".

     

    ..Al

     

    Haha, now I feel like an idiot. I don't think I ever checked the description at all.

     

     

    With that scan being shown..the two look identical....but is the price worth having to try and clean a cart or just for the box?

     

    I picked up the cart for a buck...A box would be nice to have now that I see it isnt marked up...

  14. Someone clearly took a black marker to the cart. You can even see a tiny bit of black on the upper-right edge of the label. The auction description even states, "SHELL WAS COLORED BLACK WITH MARKER".

     

    ..Al

     

     

    Clearly black marker from the cart to the Threshold on the cover of the box...Who would do that to a great item? They should be burned at the stake!

  15. This weekend marks the end clearance sale for the two hundred game crazy stores that are closing..You will be able to get games and game accessories from any of these locations that are closing..They are even closing some of the newley remodeled "Upsize Stores" in Michigan..so if your Game Crazy is going out of buisness, this might be a good chance for some cheap finds for that extra controller, or whatever they may have left...Let me know what you find, because the store nearest me is not closing...YET! All stores will close after the fourth quarter..I'm sure of it....

  16. Dealt with Apolloboy for a famicom cart shipped to me. Great experience...Just paid 5 for cart and shipping..no problems whatsoever

     

    Definately a plus to have a round.

    Thanks Apollo,

    Chris from Michigan

  17. So if a game title is listed more then once, does that mean you have multiples? or was it a cut and paste mishap?

     

     

    No cut and paste mishap...I have every title listed above.....once i trade or sell the titles I will remove them from the list and add more to the forum of different systems at a later time or by request...

  18. very fair, but heres a pic to show the great shape.......

    Nice picture. I've never seen an upside down Nomad before. Those must be super rare ;)

     

    I think if your $79.99 asking price includes shipping plus the 20 or 30 sports games (football to hockey) and Sonic 2 game you mentioned is pretty fair. Sports games are usually only worth $1.00 - $2.00 each, but you need to find someone who is really into sports games to have this be a good deal.

     

    As mentioned I found mine with the Nomad, AC adapter, battery pak and A/V cable for $29.99 and it looks like new. I did replace the screen cover, but that was only $4.00 off eBay for a replacement.

     

    Could you post pictures of everything you'd include for the $79.99 so I can pass the information on to a couple friends? It would also be good to know the game titles too that you are including.

     

    Well, the nomad is sold to Alex Rojas....paid in full...will be shipped with 10 to 20 sports games....

     

    Posted xbox games for sale in another post if anyone is interested, find the post and then email me....cube is next

  19. ....the battery pak goes for at least 35 bucks by itself..

    Thats a bit of a stretch, they go for around $15. Here is a recent one...

    Here are 2 battery packs, a system and games for $50

    Here is a NIB one for $21

    Not trying to look rude or anything, just saying that just because someone on Ebay has one for a $40 BIN does not mean it's worth that ;)

     

    very fair, but heres a pic to show the great shape.......

     

    post-24483-125457223844_thumb.jpg
