    This is an interesting topic. I myself am getting an Original Platinum DS. I have had one of these before, and have also had a DS Lite. I personally prefer the original DS model. I know, perhaps I'm being too old fashioned, but I figure older game systems are really appreciated around here! :D

     

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to owning the DS again. Since it's inception, I have been impressed by the number of titles released for it. Yes, there is a good amount of "shovelware" out there, but with a little patience, you can end up with a great selection of games.

     

    Understandably, we all know that the DSi has the potential to run "better games" down the line, resulting in some games being exclusive to just the DSi. That's fine, since there are still 100's of titles available to pick up for the DS and DS Lite. It's like with any "older" gaming system...you just have to hunt for the deals.

     

    I can't wait..I think the DS will be my favorite portable again in no time.

    Trying to trade out a complete SNES gaming system. It's hardly yellowed, has all the hookups, and two controllers. I can throw in three games with the system if you're interested, but one (Super Baseball 2020) has writing on the front in permanent marker. All the games are "cart only" (the other two are Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Mario Kart with no end protectors.

     

    I'm looking for Gamecube games, complete with box and instructions. Here's my short list:

     

    Tales of Symphonia

    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

    Super Mario Sunshine

    Luigi's Mansion

    Resident Evil (any)

     

    If you have these games and are interested in my SNES, let's trade. I will send via the USPS and provide you with a tracking number (delivery confirmation).

     

    If anyone here wants to buy outright, let's say $30.00 plus shipping, and I'll throw in the games. I would expect payment first in the form of a US Postal Money Order.

     

    Thanks for looking. Send PM's, please, or email [email protected]

    Well, I'm not sure WHAT I'm doing these days, but seems as though I'm collecting old Macs..where this came from or how this started is anyone's guess. :roll: I really had no intention of collecting this stuff, but for some reason I've been bitten by the old Apple bug. AND it doesn't help that I work at a place that gets in old computers for recycling.

     

    The iMac is in GREAT shape, in the dark-blue color, with a clear optical mouse that's just downright sexy. The keyboard is clear as well. No software with it, but this things seems loaded from my initial power up. The system version is 9.2, and I think it could take 10.

     

    The Powerbook 1400c is also loaded with utility and application software (system version 7.5.3), and everything looks great on it. No book covers to speak of or extra software, but it's a little gem. Battery will not hold a charge, which was to be expected for it's age. Trackpad works fine, and all buttons are in excellent shape.

     

    I think next I'm going to look for a Plus or SE, since I grew up on those before getting bitten by the PC bug. Any thoughts on collecting old Macs, or does anyone else around here do that sort of thing? Am I going completely nuts? Anyway, your thoughts/comments would be appreciated, or any experiences you might have.

     

    Thanks, all. I think I'm going off the deep end on this one. :ponder:

    :D SNES system complete with 3 games! :D

     

    For trade is one Super Nintendo Entertainment System. In great shape (hardly, if any, yellowing), this unit comes with two controllers, AC adapter, and RF connector. A/V cables are also included. The games that will be sent with the system are:

     

    Mario Kart-loose

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past-loose (faded label)

    Super Baseball 2020-writing on the front of label (why do people do this?)

     

    No box or instructions available for the SNES, however. The unit itself could stand to be cleaned up a bit, but it functions completely.

     

    I am looking for the following games for the Gamecube, complete with box and instructions:

     

    Tales of Symphonia

    Pokemon Colosseum

    Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness

    Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

    Game Action Replay (I've never owned one of these, so if you got it, let me know)

     

    If you have these games, and would like an SNES system, please send me a PM with details. I can take pictures of the SNES, however, they will be grainy as I only have a Quickcam and no digital camera. The SNES comes from an electronic recycling program.

     

    Any questions, feel free to ask, and thanks.

    Wow...I think I remember seeing this commercial a bit further back in the old memory, but it's hard to recall. It's pretty damn cool, though. No wonder I love Nintendo so much. They brainwashed me about 20 some-odd years ago!! :D I believe this isn't real, but whomever made it deserves a big ol' hug!

    Yeah, this is a sad story, but not unexpected. I mean, there might have been deeper problems involved, but the videos and whatnot made the situation worse. And as far as making this public, seems everyone is doing that with their private lives (a.k.a. Facebook Twitter, and others), letting EVERYONE know when you Twitter about having to go to the bathroom is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, when did privacy go out the window?

     

    Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about this guy's loss. Since he made it my business, anyway... :|

    Oops, haven't been checking on my own topic, so I thought I'd pop in to see. Great to see that others still have Gamecubes and are enjoying them. I haven't been able to pick up any games for it lately, but the ones I do have have been getting a workout, like Animal Crossing. That game never seems to get old to me. Lots to do everyday, as long as you keep your play sessions light. I typically play for about an hour, depending on what I want to do in town.

     

    My next game to get is Wind Waker, then possibly Twilight Princess. TP at my local Gamestop is around $30.00 or so, and I'm not really willing to pay that at the moment. I'd also like to find another copy of Tales of Symphonia. However, the ones they have at Gamestop have their box art and typically no instructions, so I'll wait until an original copy comes in with instructions. I usually won't buy GC games without their original paperwork.

    Update:

     

    I have for trade:

     

    Resident Evil 2 Strategy Guide

    Pokemon Emerald Strategy Guide

    Star Trek: The Magazine (several of these)

    Diablo Strategy Guide

    Diablo 2 Strategy Guide (also covering Lord of Destruction)

    P.S. I also have a guide to arcade machines that is up for trade. Covers all arcade games from Pong to Dragon's Lair. All guides are in fair to good condition.

    Hi, all:

     

    Just thought I'd throw this out there for the weekend (yes, I only work 4 days, so Thursday is my weekend!) to see if anyone has the Nintendo strategy guide for Animal Crossing on the Gamecube. I know the Prima guide is more readily available, but from what I've read it's a horrendous guide filled with mistakes. Unless I get completely desperate, no thank you. :P

     

    If you have a copy for sale, PM me and let me know what you want for it. I will get back to you on Monday about your offer. Shipping costs would be to 05052-0058. Thanks, all.

    LOL... if it makes you feel better someone grabbed the Tac-2 before me :D you know me I mainly anted them for the boxes, but I just got the DC kisok and gave my sister the fishing controller I had for Christmas (then I found Bass at my Mother's house so she is wasting it! :mad:) Anywho... I'll make sure if I find some more DC stuff to PM You. I have two starfires (but no boxes) so mainly I want the gun for the box and to see how that "noisey cricket" (MIB reference) works :D I love me some HOTD2
