Look again. Yeah I agree with bjk7382. I shouldn't have created this subject, because my bitching about it won't change anything.

Grrrr... what is it with these mo-fo buyers thinking they can just set their own prices? I've emailed him several times saying... no... no... no. (And, it's not just one game... he wants all 3 games for that price.) I'm not selling games for charity. I'm using the money to pay my bills. Grrrr.

You mean you WANT me to blow my brains out of my head?

Like I said before, that's a good point, but 99% of the stuff I sell is brand-new or like-new condition. My stuff doesn't have scratches or ripped labels or anything like that. I wish I could afford a digital camera.

PS2=2000-2005 is 5 years... that's standard. Actually, the Cube and Box are only 4 years, which is SHORT for console life. The crash of 1984 was partly caused by the companies themselves. Yes, people stopped buying stuff, but instead of regrouping, many companies just gave up. The declared gaming to be dead. Even Atari quit. Smarter companies (Nintendo/Sega) realized that the game recession was merely a blip, and NOT the end of videogames. And they jumped into the vacuum left by the idiot American companies. Fast-forward to modern times: Videogames may receed in popularity, but I don't think Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft will be as bone-headed as Atari and just "give up"! They'll scale back the number of releases per year, but they won't quit. There won't be a crash.

MacGurl (or whatever her name is) was right. There are a lot of people on this board that should be ignored. Look, I'm not interested in having a fight. I was asked for an opinion, and then I expressed that opinion. The End.

Wow. And David Crane thought of this? Wow. He must be a genius. What is David Crane doing now?

You asked. I answered. And then you called me an "asshole", because you didn't like what I said. I think you should take that finger and point it towards yourself. Or else, don't ask for people's thoughts.

Well good!

Just curious... what else does it do?

The game is on sale. BUY IT. What I'd like to know... if I play Metroid Zero, is Original Metroid still worth playing?

Does anyone have a map?

No. The 2600 version was directly ported to the 5200... and then modified for the different CPU. Because the programmer took the simple "cut and paste" approach, it gave him extra time to create the second game. Anyway, the result is that the 2600/5200 are nearly identical. re: Making Pitfall 2 carts... would it be possible to make Pitfall 2 without the music co-processor? No music, but still the same game.

It depends. If it's a brand-new game or brand-new GameCube or grand-new something-else, then I see nothing wrong with taking a picture from amazon.com and using it in my auction. Brand-new is brand-new. It makes no difference. However, if I'm selling a car with a smashed hood, and I post a picture of a brand-new car, then YES it matters. . ASIDE: I don't have a digi-cam. So I just take what pictures I find off the internet. Usually amazon.com.

Yeah, but I put it >>>>>in plain sight<<<<< where people can see it (the very first line & the payment terms box). Look at this auction description: Although I don't have much patience for dumb bidders, the SAME applies to dumb sellers who post incoherent/confusing auctions. You have the information HIDDEN deep within the text. AND you have large photos of multiple games. It's confusing. AND you did not explain, "Why's it so difficult to edit the picture for just one game?" That's what I do on my auctions... why do you not do it? Your auction reminds me of those deceptive auctions that say "Get a cheap Gameboy"...and then hidden in fint print: "I will provide *information* on how to get a Gameboy, not an actual Gameboy." Yeah sure, the info is there, but it's still confusing/deceptive.

Yeah, people on this forum can be extremely rude. We can disagree with one another without resorting to 2-yr-old childish insults. Also, another good source for hard to find stuff (well, game anyway) is amazon.com. You'll pay more money though.

Same reason as Beyond Good & Evil: It's the Second Coming (of the Gaming Crash)! People are abandoning video games! The horror! The horror! No wait... I get all kind of cool games for only $10. Gaming Crash! Yaaaay!

I'd buy it! The 5200 version is okay, but I really prefer the nostalgia of the 2600. If I could get the second half of Pitfall on the 2600, I'd dump the 5200 version. It shouldn't be too hard... just double the ROM size to allow room for the second half.

FOLLOW-UP: The guy said he refused to mail cash or check. Weird. So I agreed to take his credit card. End of story right? Nope. Now he says, "I changed my mind, I don't want the game." Argh!!!

"Anyone ever finish Pitfall II??" This is kind of a silly question. Pitfall 2 is really NOT that hard. Just collect the the diamond, the niece, and finally the cat. Bam...you're done. Getting a perfect score is a *little* more challenging, but still not difficult. Just a matter of perfect timing.

Suggestion: Take the white space from between the cart pictures. It will look better to have the carts stacked one on top of the other.

He probably did not know those were homemade games. He probably thought they were Activision-made. I wonder if, ten years from now, some idiot at Activision will try and claim these homebrew games are owned by Activision.? And as proof he'll point to the Anthology and say, "See? All these games are copyrighted by Activision." It would not surprise me.

I don't know. I like the "abstract look" of controlling a round yellow pac-man or a stick figure pitfall. Realism is nice for character-driven games like RPGs, but for most games I prefer simplicity over lots of detail.
