Problems With Classic Gaming?

[Problems With Classic Gaming?]

Tell me no one remembers the whole MORTAL KOMBAT thing.

[Commodore Monitors]

@ Zero, I didn't know there were many difforent kinds, I'm just wondering if I can plug my 2600, or a similar system directly into the back. I know understand that there are lots of difforent kinds. Why so many?

[Nintendo site like this one?]

If your not talking about a forums site, the I go to www.nintendoland.com

[Commodore Monitors]

I think I spelled that right, anyway...I want to pick up some of theese monitors, but I wanna know what kind of jack it uses. Do does it have an RCA input, or Coaxial?

[WHERE CAN I FIND A PAC-MAN ROM!?!]

Try wondering around the Emulation forum. (I thought thats why its there)

[Game room chaos...]

Try to put away the doubles ie. 2600s NESs even though there cosmeticly difforent, you only really need one to use. Put away the PSX since you got the PS2.

[Pet peeves of buying classic games]

When the boxes have been sun beaten, or when they "stack" the boxes, and you end up with a two tone box.

[This Classic Gaming Store= HEAVEN!!]

I'm beginning to get the feeling that there's a lot of us Minnesotans on this board. . .

 

Amen to that.

[Pet peeves of buying classic games]

Oh, when they have a $20 system, then they put out the good, rare, and/or boxed games, and sell it all together for around 100 bucks.

[This Classic Gaming Store= HEAVEN!!]

I'm not looking for anything, but those high prices might be reasonable. Since they have the box, the value is highly increased. The old game prices suck, unless its a good, or rare game. Take The legend of Zelda for instance, If they got it for around 3 bucks or so, that beats the $10-$15 prices I've seen. Try to get some rarity lists, and pay em' another visit.

[Pet peeves of buying classic games]

What gets you mad when you buy classic games. I hate how people are like, " Oh, that Combat cartridge thats for that old game (trail off). Ah, $5". I also hate how dealers ask me if I'm a collector, and then try to sell me on the "Secret" RCA Phono to 75 OHM adapter. What about you guys?

[Crappy service ruining your game store?]

They never seem to bother me when I'm there. I look thrue the PS2 section, they come over and ask if I need help, I decline, but they always seem to stare at me. Then I wonder to the Genesis games, and dig in the bins for that. Sometimes they try to sell me some peice of crap while I'm leaving though.

 

Once a guy in his late 50's walked in and asked for a girls game for the PS2, he wanted an $8.00 Barbie game, but they trashed it and said it sucked. They then showed him the $25.00 copy of ATV Offroad Fury, and lectured him about Crash Team Racing. About 3 guys were swarming around him. No one at the register, and about 5 people in the back looking at PC games. I could have walked out with anything, and they wouldn't notice. Next thing I no, the guys give him a Kingdom Hearts box, $35.00 price tag. They praise it, and he buys it. Show how persuasive they are? He left empty handed and badmouthed them in the parking lot. Never seen him there again.

[Buzzing power supplies]

I think using that power supply might be dangerous. My supplies never buzz, so I'm wondering what the deal is. I think it would be safer to get a new one. You never know what could happen.

[What is Your White Whale?]

Sorry for double posting, the computer didn't show it the first time.

Argh! The Phillips Cd-i has escaped my grasp once more. Curse the dreaded sea.
