its definitely PAL. Just tried it and the screen just kept rolling.
-
FYI. Game FAQs shows this as a North American Release.

I got this game in trade, Mission Survive. I was under the impression this was a PAL game only. But the back has, what looks to be, a really old sticker saying NTSC. Any ideas? Anyone know the value of this game?

Hi,
We got a 7800 in trade and have the same issue. Please 2600 games fine, but not 7800 games. Did you actually wind up fixing this? If so, what did you find out?
Thanks,
Tom

Sounds interesting and I wish you the best of luck.
My two cents. I think the membership cost is too high at $12.99. I think Gamefly works because you can play a $50 game for only $16 a month. But why would I pay $12.99 to play a $5 game? My fear is that people are going to subscribe to play the high dollar games and then just not return them to you.
Like I said, i wish you luck, but I don't know if the Gamefly business model works for games I can get for $5 (and free shipping) on ebay.

I think you edit the first post, and then you get access to the thread title.
Thats what i thought too. But i guess the first post is too old because there is no edit link next to it. I guess i will have to start a new thread for each issue.

Anyone know how i can edit the thread title? I can't seem to edit it.

Below is a link to our facebook page. There are pics of the store there.

I tried looking at the website in your sig, and though it has information, everything in the left column (j2Store) gives me a "No records were found matching your request" response.
Yes, sorry about that. When we merged with J2Games our sytems were not compatible. Therefore you can't order from our site. We are working on a new ecommerce site for ordering.

Hello,
Sorry for the long Hiatus from the boards.
We moved to Buford, GA in September 2012. Ou space is over 1000 Sq Ft, which is about double the size of the Brick store.
We moved to be closer to family in GA, plus the house we were renting wasn't renewing our lease, so we purchased a home in Ga. I was actually planning on keep the Brick Store open through the holiday season but, the place I was leasing the store from didn't do what they needed and town revoked the Certiciate of Occupancy. So i couldn't stay with the uncertainty.
I'll try and post pictures of the new store in a new thread and link to it.

Fixed that for you... wait, I thought this was a nitpicking thread. I just realized it wasn't. Sorry about that.
Please, check out this new local game store if you get a chance. Anything is better than gamestop.
*this post is 100% satire, and meant to be taken in a light joking spirit, where people of ANY COLOR or gender including those with all colors and genders at the same time can laugh about misspellings, grammar mistakes, what their mothers did or did not teach them, and of coarse most importantly Game Stop... yes Game Stop. The bearded lady of the video game industry. Pay allot to come see the freak show, and leave disappointed that you just wasted your money on a brief moment of stupidity*
Wait, what did I just say?
Perfect. -
Seriously? There are thousands on ebay that use real photos. In my experience, the less reputable stores will use stock photos. People who are ignorant of making proper item grades, and don't understand what truly constitutes a certain item description... those types of sellers will hide behind stock photos because it's easier for them to do so. The biggest excuse is time... which is understandable. The fact remains though, if you don't have the time to properly present an item/product to a potential customer, then you can't honestly expect to have the same amount of interest in your items for sale, as you would had you taken the time to take in depth pics combined with quality item descriptions.
Your assumption is flawed for a myriad of reasons, the main one being that most people simply want to see what they're buying unless they 'know' 100% that the item will be as advertised, and guess what.... video game stores with stock photos are notorious for 'not' properly describing items... what a suprise, because a picture would clarify those situations in mere seconds.
If I have to ask for pics to be provided while looking over potentially hundreds of items, then you've just asked ME to 'work' to support your business. Why would I ever take that kind of time out of my day, if YOU, the business owner don't see the value in taking the time to take pics of the items you're attempting to sell. Your mindset (imho) potentially/mostlikely speaks volumes about the quality of your product.
9/10 - when I buy something with no pic, it comes in less than described condition, or it is more than likely damaged or dirty in some way.
PS. Didn't your Mom teach you that the Customer is always right?
With the exception of the eBay marketplace, and Craigslit, the vast majority of retailers do not provide actual photos of items. It just would take too much time to take a physical picture of each and every item. And what happens when i have 10 copies of a game? Am i supposed to have 10 pictures of the item?
Amazon is probably one of the largest, if not the largest, online marketplace. And stock photos is what they use.
I don't mean to be rude, but it sounds to me that you don't have a whole lot of business experience. I have been selling video games since 1999.

I've seen that Videogametrader site before.... sorry to sound like an ass, but it looks like every other video game online store that doesn't offer real pics of the items they're selling. I do not support stores with stock photos.... for good reason.
I am sorry you wont support our small store. However, i don't know of any video game business that doesn't use stock photos for a majority of their items. I can understand someone wanting to see a picture of an expensive or rare item, but few people ever need to see a picture of the actual Rad Racer cart for NES, for example.
Besides, if anyone has ever asked for a picture, we have always provided it. And if you want to see what the item actually looks like, you can always come down to the store.

PS. Didn't your mom teach you that if you couldn't say anything nice, not to say anything at all?

Hey, congratulations on the 'soft' opening. Hope things are going well so far. As I'm sure you are already aware (but it never hurts to reiterate) remember that business may be slow at first. It usually takes a while for word to get out. But keep the faith!
Thanks!
And yea, i already knew that
but thanks anyway. I had a store in Brick NJ for a little while so i know about that. However, we are going to start local advertising in October so that should help. Having said that, Saturday was much busier than i expected it to be.
-
Ok, So we don't have our actual light-up sign installed yet (there is a banner up) and we still have some organization and decorating of the inside of the store to do, but we are now open!
1328 Buford Highway, Suite 116, Buford GA 30518 (Next to Sears)
Our hours are: Monday - Thursday 10am - 8pm and Friday-Saturday 11am - 9pm. We are closed on Sunday.
We are still planning a "party" but i think we are going to have this in January. Stay Tuned.

Need Help - Mission Survive NTSC?
in Atari 2600
Posted
Great, Thanks.
Keep in mind that i don't think this is actually NTSC though as the game scrolled when playing on a system.
