real vectrex premotional button, or one from atariage?
ilovethevectrex replied to ilovethevectrex's topic in Vectrex
its not big at all, its about an inch tall i think. it was in 2004 when they were selling it, so mabey thats why you dont remember it. i know it was then because i went on the internet archive (wayback machine) -
well, i recently bought a vectrex pin on an ebay auction that came with a bunch of other pins. while the other ones are cool, but i mainly bid for this item. but i recently found out that they sold pins on atariage quite a few years ago. the thing is, the back if quite dirty, and if someone bought it from atariage i think they would have kept it in better condition.. although, the front is in pretty good condition. so im sort of confused. i will attach some pictures, but i was wondering if there is a way to tell if the pin if actually from 'back in the day' or from atariage, thanks.

yeah i agree. i am going to buy a 2ds, and guess what? preordering costs 200$! why do that when you can buy it on the same day for a WAY lower price?
-
to answer your question, for sure yes. i would say getting a signed copy of a video game is harder than getting a signed copy of a comic book (depending on the rarity of the comic book of course)

its my birthday

actually you dont have to update it on order to play, as far as i know. and i have heard that the 2ds is surprisingly comfortable actually
-
he is probably going to make playable pants or something. i dont know how, but he will find a way!

i agree. not that the ds is a BAD system, because i love it. but i bought the ds lite when it came out which was cool, but now i am going to buy a 2ds because i can play 3ds games, as well as my normal ds games which are harder to play on my original ds lite because the hinge doesnt hold up (its broken, but its still playable) and the 2ds's hinge cant break lol. but i dont understand why there are people who buy ALL of them, i only need one to play all my games lol.
-
you bring up some good points. some people enjoy the 3d, but i know nobody who leaves it on all the time. people usually turn it on, thinks its cool, then never use it again. and i dont doubt that its cool, the 3d looks amazing. but i would never use it. and i heard that nintendo was sort of planning this from the beginning, and that none of the games HAVE to have 3d in order to be playable, which they did on purpose.

Nintendo introduces the 2DS redesign
ilovethevectrex replied to Rev's topic in Modern Console Discussion
i think that people cant hate on the design until they play it. it might be surprisingly good! i often get hand cramps from playing on a normal clam shell ds, and mabey the 2ds solves this entirely. and i think its good to compare it to the jaguar controller; i have played one, and it fitted great in your hand! i didnt see what all the hate was about. -
thanks for the link! it seems like a lot of people hate it on that topic. i was looking at another topic, which seems to have less hate about the 2ds: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/216100-nintendo-2ds/
-
i couldn't agree more! and i will definitely pick one up, for the same reason. it solves many issues the other ds's had, such as the hinges breaking which is very common. it solves it by not having one altogether! and you have more space to hold the system, it seemed like my hands would get cramps after playing the ds for a while. over all, great looking system
-
as you probably already know, people are just RAGING about the 2ds. so i wanted to start a topic about it for 2 reasons: 1, what is with all the hate? the hinge is gone, so that means it cant break which is a seriously common issue, and also, no 3d, which makes the system cheaper, and lets be honest; most people dont use anyways. 2, i also created this topic because i want to hear what you guys had to say about it, and actually discuss this with real people rather than reply to a few youtube comments. do you hate the system to death, or do you actually think it looks good and will you buy one? im sure buying one! feel free to share your thoughts
-
just out of curiosity, how many people are getting the 2ds and dont hate it?
-
it seems like many new games are overpriced. one of the reasons i love retro video games
-
i just found out im going to be getting a 2ds for my birthday. even though its not a surprise anymore, yay!
-
the new sopa bill got over 100,000 signatures, uh oh :/

Sweet find on my way to work this morning
ilovethevectrex replied to Dripfree's topic in Classic Console Discussion
dude great find! i dont think ive ever seen anyone get a better deal than that! i got mine for 75 euros with 5 cib games. it was the french model, but i always just plug it into a transformer and it works fine. great deal considering how much they go for nowdays- best 75 bucks i ever spent -
it would be awesome if someone made a homebrew multicart with several homebrew trackball games, and then included a vectrex trackball with it. i would so buy it
-
am i the only person who doesn't HATE the 2ds lol?
-
which game is it and how do you get to it? :/
-
John donzali made "super spike world" which was unfinished, but the demo is included in the game of "space frenzy" which you can buy as his website, classicgamecreations.com. by the way its shutting down on the 31st of dec, so you'd better buy it quick!
