Maybe he was reading this, it's been canceled.

[Gamecube Online Games?]

make that warppipe.com (it is called the warp pipe project) Sorry!

Looks cool but there's never anyone there. I would like to play somone at Mario Kart so maybe we could get something going on here?

[Gamecube Online Games?]

Try warppipeproject.com. This is kind of like Xbox Connect in that it allows you to bypass normal programming and play games online. Including Mario Kart. Never tried it though, and it's just in beta.

[Why does E-Bay change?]

No, here is the other version. I got it come up by clearing my history and deleting my cookies before I visited the page. I hate this version!

[Why does E-Bay change?]

How come sometimes when I log onto ebay I get this screen (what I call 'classic ebay) and sometimes I get the other screen with the drop down menus (what I call crappy ebay)?

[Combat! Get Your Combat!]

Okay, so I feel stupid for asking but what am I missing? I keep looking at the auction and can't find anything out of the ordinary about it other than it is a super common cartridge. What is so funny?

[He ain't heavy... he's my Krull]

I may be wrong, but maybe it has to do with the size of the box. I noticed he is shipping UPS and (at leat at the UPS store) they do charge weight based on the size of the box and the weight, and I think they round it off too.

[Video games related to the "Alien" movies]

Well you would have loved what I got off EBay about a year ago. I found a working ALIEN arcade machine and paid only $150 for it. It was the only bid, I never expected to win it but I did. Saddly it is not an ALIEN cabinet anymore since it is JAMMA I keep switching it to other things.

[Always check the bottom shelf!]

I prefer full screen too. I was rather PO'ed when I hastily bought a copy of the first LOTR only to discover I had bought the widescreen edition! Don't know why I just don't like those black bars at the top and bottom of my screen.

[Which 2600 games will not work on the 7800?]

Did he test it in a 2600?  That's an 8K Parker Brothers cartridge, and I've never heard of them having 7800 problems before.

 

Yes he tested it but I may have the wrong game. I will ask him tommorrow.

[Which 2600 games will not work on the 7800?]

My friend picked up a game at Philly Classic that wouldn't work right in his 7800. I think it was Motezuma's Revenge.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

(As this thread seriously veers off topic)

 

I actually have an 'English' to 'American translation book that I picked up when I visited the UK a few years back. There are so many words that are different. And it can be rather humerous too. After all a persons name here in the U.S. (at least in the South) could be 'Fannie or Fanny' and in the UK that is an obscene word, am I right? That would be like someone here being named a**!

[Gamecube Gameboy Player question.....]

 

However, if you have two Gamecubes, you could have one of them running Metroid Prime, and the other running Metroid Fusion (using the GB Player), and activate the secrets that way.

 

--Zero

 

Probably not, because the Gameboy player does not have the place to plug in the gameboy link cable that is needed to connect the GBA to the GC!

[Heavy Crossbow]

Crossbow for the 7800 was one of the few 7800 games that you could use the lightgun with.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

There's no "two ROB" version (with or without the shield). The shield was always included, if you bought the Deluxe Set or the standalone ROB back in the days.

 

The shield was only useful if you had trouble with ROB and your TV.

 

I would seem to disagree based on this link

 

http://www.vidgame.net/NINTENDO/rob.htm

 

However this is the only support I can find for the "two cosmetically different ROB's" Please see the attatched picture of the two different ROB's

 

In addition I have searched the internet for info on ROB and none of the pages had anything about a shield except the link I mentioned above.

 

I also did an image search on google:

http://images.google.com/images?q=NES+ROB&...0&sa=N&filter=0

 

and Alta Vista:

http://www.altavista.com/image/results?q=N...all&mis=all&miw

 

and none of the pictures show a shield. Are you sure you didn't have one of the 'other' ROB's the linked page mentions? If there are two different ones I wonder how rare the second one is.

 

Here is the pic of the two ROB's

[In one word: Huh?]

So are these n64 games that only look like Nintendo games AND play on your color gameboy? And they are PAL? I think that someone needs to know a little bit about what he is selling!

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

The shield actually sticks on to the part in between the middle of the eyes. Sadly I sold my original R.O.B. with the shield way back in the day. I did manage to get another complete R.O.B. just recently, but it did not have the shield.

 

But there were two ROB's right? (see my link above) The one with 'eyes' doesn't have a cover.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Do you have the shield for the eyes?

 

Shield? Huh? Guess not, whats it look like?

Yeah. I've never seen a shield. I need a picture to see if I have it already. If it's removable, I don't have it. And now I'm sad. I need one. I must complete my formerly completed until I learned something new ROB.

 

 

Well I did a little research and I am pretty sure this is what he is taliking about:

http://www.vidgame.net/NINTENDO/rob.htm

 

If you read down you will see that there were two ROB's one with an 'eye cover' and one with out. So our robots are complete!

 

Mine has everything in this photo:

However, if you look at this photo, there appears to be a cover of sometype? Maybe?

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Two discs.

 

 

Oh, and the Robot part. Don't forget the robot.

 

Crap! I knew something was missing! Actually, by your list, it all seems to be there. I am very happy indeed!

[A shipping charge even I wont bitch about!]

Seller wrote: "This cartridge is guaranteed, or 7800 home game system."

 

I think you need to demand a refund when it only works on two of the three listed~

[Did you ever notice that arcade games you want on Ebay]

Actually got a working JAMMA ALIEN cabinet for only $150 within a few hours of where I live. Ha dquite an adventure picking it up and I've never found quite such a deal again.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Finally found something pretty cool. A near mint NES ROB with all it's parts and working for $2.80. And to think I almost bought a broken one ath Philly Classic for $10. BTW How many gyro disks are supposed to be with it?

[Help, are any of these rare ?]

 

I get roughly 10-20 packages a day.  What would showing a picture of a postmark on a package prove?  

 

To the people who wanted a picture of the cart in front of my TV playing in an Atari, which how do you want me to take the picture?

 

 

Like I said, I was just pointing out that their 'evidence' (as in you playing the game) Didn't prove any more than you holding the cart. If you say you got the cart in the mail that's cool, I believe you. And man you get 10-20 packages a day? I hope you give your letter carrier a nice Christmas present!

[Help, are any of these rare ?]

sku_u's word is good enough for me!

 

 

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I don't belive him, I'm just pointing out that the 'evidence' (i.e. screenshots) people keep asking for dosn't amount to much since he obviously has the game.
