  1. I also collect some vinyl like Blues Brothers, Steve Martin along with some quirky albums with quirky collections like "Beans in Your Ears". I'm still looking for Mrs Miller albums and other bizarre titles like this:

    Nintendo DSi

    Just looking for a DSi. Must work and minimal to no scratches. Stylus and charger must be included. PMs only please.
  3. Just found a Flashback 2 for $5. Like to give it the cartridge mod-anyone here had theirs modded and was it easy or hard?

      I've heard it's hard. I had Ben Heck do mine.

      If you have basic soldering skills it's not that difficult. A steady hand helps, too.

  4. Buyer's being a tightwad. Someone ought to show him Scrooge McDuck
  5. Glad AX gave the scammer a neg. I doubt it will change the seller's practice or mind of selling crapware.
  6. I'm still waiting for my MegaCart but I did won an auction with another MegaCart some time ago. But a MegaCart does work great with a 1541 and it does have a "RESET" button. Are you drooling yet?
  7. His store name is "USED BUT NOT ABUSED GAMING." Yeah right, like he must use a BB gun to put holes through his discs for target practice. And about the virus thing; he probably uses Yahoo or Gmail or some other mail service that already has virus protection.
  8. This guy already has one neg so he's going to get more with his ripoff shipping tactics. But they way he said "everyone does that with the post office" is like a big smack in the face. This is unfortunate you really cannot trust anyone anymore and they're only looking to ripoff others by lying about not only the quality of the item but to pack it in a poorly-packed package. I wonder if the dolt tried to drill holes into the disc and sell it as genuine?
  9. They're going to remake The Munsters? I don't have a good feeling about this especially being on NBC.

      There are lots of incredible shows that have all but disappeared. "Slattery's People" is a perfect example: smart, well-written, tons of guest stars ... a million times better than modern TV fare. But no, we've got to have a lame remake of "The Munsters" instead.

      I agree. This has to be a new record.

      I missed the whole Trololo phenomenon.

  11. Anyone have a working DS they want to sell. Anything but pink color.

      Pink is for men.

      I have a working DS, crimson and black, but I'm not selling.

      @Zerdex THEN WHY RESPOND?

  12. Are the overlays subject to getting brittle after time if not protected? But other than that, if the system works and you like retro, go for it. I'm a solo gamer so Odyssey wouldn't be for me.
  13. Update- What a difference! Today he was awake and talking. He's still in pain but he can move a little bit so that's a real good start. I thought that day before was the last day of his life. For families, you have to stick together and support each other no matter how big or small a family is. That and faith do play a big part in healing.
  14. Best: Millipede- so simple yet addictive. It's actually better than the NES version. I also like Secret Quest, Jr. Pacman and Fatal Run. Worst: Airlock- One level that's it. Five minutes and you're done.
  15. Normally I don't talk about my personal life but last week my dad had a stroke. His blood pressure was very high and had clots in his brain. I don't know if they administered drugs that will bust through the clots. I had to make a very tough choice to get him into a nursing home in which I never thought I would allow after hearing all kinds of horror stories. This place though we got him in is very concerned about his health and well-being. Today, June 1, 2012, was a very rough day for both my mom and I. My dad must of had another stroke and/or a seizure during his lunch. I'm very close to my dad. He used to teach private guitar/bass guitar lessons and play gigs in Milwaukee with either his string bass or bass guitar. We had some great times going to gigs like the Wisconsin State Fair, Festa Italiana where I had all the soda pop I could drink and many others. Some were quite boring, others were a blast. He also played for two presidents, Reagan and Ford-both in which didn't want to sign autographs. He also played at the old County Stadium when the Green Bay Packers played there. We also had some great times going on vacation as well. Sure we had arguments but we pressed on. He enjoyed music and he supported me in what I wanted to become. I decided to get back into piano and give lessons after being unhappy after working 5+ years working in a supermarket. He kept on supporting me on what I wanted to do. What I did today was very difficult as my mom and I didn't allow resuscitation. He's been in pain for three years after suffering neuropathy, diabetes and muscle wasting disease. We had his favorite music playing in his room, Jazz, like Dave Brubeck- one of his favorites. He actually met Brubeck when we was a teenager after winning a band contest with three other guys. My mom and I cried a bit after his episode and had a pastor come in. It was enlightening and my dad actually moved around a bit, spoke and opened his eyes a little bit. Also the door to his room kept opening and a mat to prevent falls also fell to the floor. A sign? Maybe. The best thing he said at the NH: he raised a son who turned out a man :' ) I'm actually tearing up a little bit as I type this. Everyone has or will have to go through this for both mothers and fathers; it's another rough part of the Road of Life. Thanks Dad!! I love ya very much!
  16. It's either garage sales, the marketplace forum here on AA or if I'm desperate, ebay. I used to like K-Mart when they sold used NES games.
  17. Does anyone know where I can download front back and side artwork of arcade cabinet exteriors? They're for making HO scale versions.
