PM'd

It started for me back when I was about 8 or 9 (in 94 or 95) and I read a review of Alien vs. Predator. This was a couple of years before I would play a ps1 or own an N64 so I was incredibly impressed by the screenshots. I remember the reviewer saying something like, "Alien vs. Predator is so good that it's almost a good enough reason to own a jaguar...almost". I knew I wouldn't be able to get a jaguar just for Alien vs. Predator, but I kept it in mind until I finally could get one. Fast forward to 2003 when I found someone on ign's trading boards (yeah, looking back that was a really pathetic place to trade) who was selling one for cheap ($70 with a bunch of games). I bought it and loved Tempest 2000, Alien Vs. Predator, Iron Soldier and Doom out of the games I got. I traded my jag away several years ago and have been considering getting another one just so I can finally play Tempest 2000 with a rotary controller. Since there is all of this work being done on getting Breakout 2000 to have rotary controller functionality, maybe I'll wait around until that becomes a reality. By the way, for those of you discussing which Wolfenstein version is best... The 3do's version is actually by far the best Wolfenstein. It has incredibly good sound (the music and sound effects are very crisp and high quality), solid framerate, and I believe it has bigger sprites than the other versions. It's the only cd version of the game ever released (unless there's one that I missed in my search), which explains the better sound. Here's a video of it: . -Adam

Thanks for this great list. There are at least 3-4 movies on that list that I gotta see. I wanted to bring this one to everybody's attention that I recently found: So You Wanna Be a Videogame Designer? It's an interesting documentary that shows the history of Game Refuge (developers of Rampage: World Tour, Pigskin Football, Xenophobe, Star Trek Voyager (arcade)) and also has a lot of interviews with various game designers who were at E3. It's only about an hour long and is $25 but I think that it's worth it. http://gamerefuge.com/downtheroad.html

Now I'm not an expert on Atari prices, but I think this might be a *little* high. http://cgi.ebay.com/SEARS-ATARI-PONG-HISTO...Q2em118Q2el1247

So can you use this with Missile Command 3d or any other games? If so, how well does it work? Is the screen pretty low-res compared to a standard tv?

Oh I didn't realize that Jaguars were so cheap these days; That's pretty reasonable. I definitely see no way that they'll get nearly what they're asking...from craigslisters at least :-p.

Is this reasonably priced or too expensive? I'm not up on all of the Jaguar game prices these days and was just curious (I don't have 200 bucks to spend on a Jag anyway :-p). This is located in Denver if anyone in the area is interested. Also, he has a huge turbografx lot for $500 which has a turbo duo, turbo cd, and turbo express and 50 games. http://denver.craigslist.org/tag/770367745.html http://denver.craigslist.org/tag/770375439.html To me it looks like these prices are too high since 1. These are bundles and 2. It's on craigslist :-p. -Adam

Um, it's only $500? You can't afford NOT to buy this. I honestly don't understand how you're still sleeping at night :-\.

Hey everybody I'm looking for a stelladaptor and 2600 controller to give to my dad for his birthday. I'm willing to either buy or trade. If you're interested in trading here's a list of what I have for trade (I also have some more NES games so if you're interested in those let me know and I'll put together an updated list). Thanks! -Adam HAVE: Neo Geo MVS Games: Art of Fighting Fatal Fury NES Games (all loose): 720 degrees Wheel of Fortune Tecmo Bowl Battle Chess Rampage Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link Tetris Jeopardy Pac-Man SNES Games (all loose): NBA Jam Tournament Edition Batman Forever PGA Tour Golf NHL Stanley Cup Paperboy 2 Super Punch-Out Super Wrestlemania Speed Racer XBOX: (all complete) Manhunt Intellivision Beauty and the Beast (complete, like new) Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack (complete) Word Fun (complete) NBA Basketball (complete) Star Strike (complete) Major League Baseball (complete) Carnival (complete) Tron Deadly Discs (complete) Stampede (loose) Genesis: Sonic (complete) Sonic 2 (complete) Sonic Spinball (complete) Double Dribble (loose) Todd's Adventures in Slime World (loose) Playstation: (all complete) Tunnel B-1 Bust-A-Move 2 Bubble Bobble (+ Rainbow Islands) Die Hard Trilogy Bust-a-Move 2 Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol Playstation 2: (all complete) Hitman 2 Red Faction Onimusha NARC Lord of the Rings: Two Towers SOCOM SOCOM 2 Nintendo 64: (all loose) Crusin' World Killer Instinct Gold

I think I'd rather go this route because he wouldn't need an X-Arcade stick; just something more simple. Thanks for the info. Adam

My dad's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. His favorite game of all time is Q-Bert and his only complaint with it was that "you spend an hour getting to that really hard level then you only have about 30 seconds to try it before you die and have to start over again". I'd like to help him out with that and am thinking that I should get him some sort of usb joystick along with MAME and very detailed instructions on how to get it working, save games, load games, etc. So my question is what would you guys recommend as far as joysticks go? He liked the 2600 controller; it seemed like he probably played that version of Q-Bert a whole lot more since it was cheaper in the long run. Something similar to the 2600 controller would be the best in my opinion. I also thought about getting him one of those plug and play games with it on it (I'm pretty sure there's a Q-Bert one at least), but that all goes back to the problem of not being able to save. Thanks for your help. Adam

That looks like a good lot. I would recommend opening that sucker up though and making a list of the games. The first thing I look at when I see a lot is what games it comes with.

Yeah I know it's like the people who sell jamma arcade boards as "untested". So uh, do you no longer have an arcade machine or what? That always annoys me as well.

Updated haves/wants. Bumpity Bump Bump!

Hey everybody, I've been amassing games over the past couple of years and am now finally organized and ready to trade. First off, I don't have much feedback anywhere (but I've done tons of trading), so I'm willing to send first provided you have at least a little bit of credible feedback. Second, I'm mostly looking for games for SNES and Genesis. However, if you've got a list of everything you're willing to trade go ahead and post it and I'll take a look. Third, I'm a huge fan of platform shooters such as Contra, Vectorman, Turrican, etc, and also of top-down shooters such as Ikari Warriors. Also, I like games like Wild Guns, Blood Brothers, Cabal, GI Joe (arcade), I don't know what to call them (back-perspective 2d shooters?). Anyway, if you have any games like these that I don't have listed PLEASE let me know. I am always interested in finding more games like these. On to the list...

Thanks! Adam

PM'd. Awesome prices!

I just had a great transaction with the seller and I recommend him if any of you are looking for Intellivision games. I got the following from him which came in the exact shape he promised: Microsurgeon Carnival Diner Stampede Swords and Serpents Thanks again, Will! Adam

This guy has everything and the prices are good too! Free bump.

Smoking Muzzle, sorry you had such a letdown! I could tell you were really excited. This is somewhat off-topic, but I couldn't bear to start a new topic about the same game. I found a cheap Lynx on craigslist and will get it if it's still available. I've known for a while that there's the AvP prototype for the lynx and knew if I ever got a lynx I'd have to get one... So I just wanted to ask, I saw that the alien isn't playable in the prototype, but that's not such a big deal since the "real game" was the marine game anyway. My question is this: Is the marine game complete? Can you play from beginning to end? Or do you just kinda wander around and wish that Rebellion finished the game? Any help is appreciated. Adam

Hey everybody, I recently picked up Donkey Kong Country as part of a lot of SNES games and absolutely loved it. Couldn't put it down until I beat it a week or two later(long game for SNES!). Anyway, now I gotta play the sequels. Does anybody have these for sale or trade? I've got a whole bunch of SNES games I could trade; I'll have to make a list once I get home tonight. The one I know I can trade is F-Zero since I have 2 of those. Anyway, let me know if you have either or both of these games and if you'd rather trade or sell. Thanks, Adam

Ah thanks for the redirect. I tried to do a search for similar topics first but didn't find any. People were talking about the same thing as recent as 2 weeks ago!

Thanks for the advice. I borrowed a soldering iron from my girlfriend's dad so I'm going to give this a shot. Hopefully it works out!

I recently bought Super Metroid for SNES and found that after a few days my save had been erased. I've read in the past that the cartridge games that allowed saving used some sort of battery that only worked for 10,000 hours or so. It seems as though it has used all its juice. Is this replaceable? I'd rather fix the game than have to get another one. Thanks for your help. Adam

Tempest, you rock, thank you. I didn't think it was so obscure that it was unfindable! Adam
