The feedback given on ebay is important to sellers and buyers. I would like to ask the opinion of experienced ebayers about a delivered lot of games.
I just received a lot of smoke-infused games. There was obviously no notice on the ads. Based on this and this alone - is this worthy of a negative or neutral feedback?
OK - now consider this - I won the auctions and paid for the games on 9/26/05 and they just arrived today (11/3/05). Does that change your opinion? Is that now worthy of a negative feedback?
Normally I would say yes, but I've only left two negative feedbacks and one of them resulted in my only negative feedback. I was given a negative feedback as a direct result of me giving a negative feedback to a seller who tried to rip me off (quick situation - I ordered a DVD using Buy It Now. After about three weeks and no DVD, I contacted the seller (in Asia) who sent me the tracking info. I tracked it's delivery to Malaysia. I live in the good ol' USofA. After I informed him of this, he said he would look into it. That's the last time I heard from him despite another two months and six emails. Finally, figuring my money was lost anyway, I listed a negative feedback. He finally responded saying I was unreasonable. Uh-huh.
So, my question - is it risking a negative feedback to leave one under these circumstances?

I received some Genesis game carts in the mail today. They were purchased on ebay and they reek of tobacco smoke. Does anyone know how I get this awful smell out?

...that game is a lot funnier if you play with a friend....And Madden is much more complicated, since there's like a quarterback and actual positions and stuff. In Footbrawl, all I ever did was run around, picking up weapons and trying to stick a mace in someone's back.I'll have to find a friend...and then play footbrawl with him/her. I just don't think I can justify playing a wholesome game with my eight-year old where we "pick up weapons and try to stick a mace in someone's back."
Perhaps, she would prefer a nice game of chess (ref. WarGames)

TJ&E is a much better two-player game than simply playing by yourself (pun intended). We like the fact that it is a totally different game every time you play. It also has the best music of any Genesis game. My kid and I just scat (the singing type of scat, thank you) along the whole time we're playing. Very fun!
I will agree with you about this being a good thread - particularly to round out your collection. I received my 239th genny cart in the mail today and many of the last 60 or so have come from threads like this or conversations with people from these threads). Thus far, I've yet to be dissapointed. I have been dissapointed by simply relying on "reviews" or grabbing an inexpensive game along with something else I was already buying.
Also, I don't know if it has been listed yet (either way, I do not want to read through all three pages), but I will tell you that Ristar is a fabulous game. I have my own listing/rating system and after about twenty plays of Ristar this past week (plus about twenty from my daughter), I nudged it up to a 99%. We are absolutely hooked on this game. It is of the Sonic Genre, but far more interesting. Ristar doesn't move as fast as Sonic, but it also is less haphazzard - rather than spinning through a platform as fast as possible, Ristar requires that you pay serious attention to your surroundings. You can't just bounce on animals, which becomes instinctive in Sonic. You have to reach out, in the right direction no less, and grab the offender before you bring him crashing into your chest.
Ristar has levels and lots of height - it has speed, hidden treasures and protection - it has timed bonus levels, cool bosses and height bonuses. If you like Sonic and feel good about having beaten it back in the day, grab Ristar - you will not regret it!

Updated score ..........0..........still don't have this game.
See ya next week folks!

Save who? A Prototype? Come on!!!
Guess I'm not playing for the high score this week.

fudge - in that case, how hard is it to track down a PAL genesis console in the states?
-
Bad and really repetitive tile graphics. Poor control. Insane difficulty (mostly due to the poor control). Limited animation. Limited sound. Boring. Etc.I remember a lot of instant death drops from failed jumps and repetitive enemies.
I changed my mind about three or four times about Blades of Vengeance and then decided to hell with it. Now, I have one less worry in my life

I have the opportunity to grab a copy of a genesis game that is at the top of my want list, however, it is for sale in the UK only and comes in PAL format. How would that work with my NTSC console - or wouldn't it?
I apologize if this answer has been asked 80 times already. I searched but couldn't find a Genesis PAL thread.

Just read a review on this. It looks very funny. I think I'll try and find a copy. Thanks for the recommendation
Uh - well, footbrawl takes some getting used to (even with the diurections), but it is pretty good. Funny? Well, not really. To me, there is nothing funnier than killing the ref and only getting a five-yard penalty (as in the case of MLF). The best part is that if you are one of the 274,998,189 Americans who knows how to play Madden Football, then you'll have no problem with MLF even without direction (though they are readily available on the web).
With my beloved Eagles sucking the big, raw one the last few games, I'm trying to figure out how to kill the coach. At this point, I do not care about scoring (as apparently my Eagles don't eiother) - I just want carnage!!!!!
BTW, I have an extra copy of Mutant League Football if anyone is interested. I posted it in the marketplace, but no one responded, so I wanted to give you, my brethren, a chance to pick it up cheaper than I will post it on ebay.

I'm at 400+ as well - only it is split between two systems (217 for atari 2600 and 233 sega genesis). Given the fact that I just started collecting in late June of this year, I think I'm heading rapidly for a "discussion" once my wife finds out!
I don't know if I'll hit 300 on the Atari. I already have too many games that I do not play because the playability is pretty bad on some of these (let's be honest). In fact, I will be getting rid of some of the more rare ones that I simply do not like (like Rubik's Cube). I'm thinking about burying my 36 carts of ET and Pac-man next time I'm in NM. Anyone know where I can rent a digger-tractor in NM?
-
Are we seriously debating whether or not this is vauable? Or is it that it is possibly rare?
My question is - does it still flicker?
-
Actually, I just turned my 8-year old onto Quackshot starring Donald Duck and I CANT GET HER OFF THE DANG GENESIS!!!!!!!!

...Blades of VengeanceBallz
I was actually tempted to grab a copy of Blades of Vengeance as I was told it is in the mode of D&D and pretty fun to play. Of course, after your red flag went up, I put the brakes on - that's all I need is another LOUSY game!!! What about it makes it one of the worst three Genny games of all time - in your opinion?
-
whoever said "Clue"- them's fightin' words! That's a great game!
RJ - Get a Clue, man! Everytime I even think about putting that cart in, I get the murderous desire to bludgeon my Genesis with a pipe in the basement.

If you send a self-addressed, stamped envelope, I'll send you a beautifully printed certificate that says "Go To Hell!" suitable for framing.
Think about it.

I like Ghouls 'N Ghosts as it started the medieval warrior adventure genre mixed with a horror movie twist. I love the seemingly endless types of creatures - my favorite being the vomitting trolls!
The only notable weak spot is the fact that once armor-wearing-dude loses his armor, he's running around in his boxers (or are they briefs? OK, I got it - low-rise mesh bikini). While funny, I kinda wish he were a she running around in a thong or something. Finding a treasure chest and getting it open, for me, is less about getting more protection by wearing the armor and more about covering up the underoos.

Wasn't the Mortal Kombat series made by Acclaim? They were/are pretty good.
There is an interesting thing about the Genesis - with most games, you are able to turn on the console and start playing. While it may help to know spefifically how the controller works or what your objective is, it isn't necessary - not really.
That is one of the great things about the "Old School" games (for me, it the 2600 and Genny). being able to plug'n'play without having to study a 150-page manual that costs $15 and takes three weeks to learn, as is the case with many of today's games.
My latest addition to the AWFUL GENESIS game list is BULLS versus BLAZERS.
I got this game free (thank G-d!) with the purchase of Robocop 3 (which frankly, I didn't care too much for either on the initial attempts). I'd like to share with you the review for this game by the Video Game Critic (www.gamerankings.com). It is hilarious - Frankly, I'm surprised he gave it a D+!!
Bulls Vs. Blazers (Electronic Arts 1993) D+
4/19/2005
I'll never forget how disappointed I was when I bought this game. My friend Eric was with me when I traded in my old Bulls vs. Lakers game (at the local trade-in store) and proceeded to buy Bulls vs. Blazers at Toys 'R Us for some exorbitant amount ($70 if I recall). When we got back to my house and fired it up, we were mortified to discover that it was practically identical to Bulls vs. Lakers! Heck, even the intro music is the same! The back of the box should have tipped me off. Instead of listing "new features", it lists "key" features, most of which are included in the previous edition. The few new features are negligible. Basically, you can adjust your "press" and "steal aggressiveness", and create custom all-star teams. Big deal. Actually I do remember Eric and I using this "create team" feature. He created a five-man team of short Mark Prices, and I stocked mine with a bunch of tall Patrick Ewing clones. His little white guys were running circles around my lumbering giants, and I took quite a beating. At its core, Bulls Vs. Blazers uses the same lethargic engine as its predecessors, and the best players are unstoppable once they find their "spot" on the floor. Charles Barkley's signature slam is performed at the foul line with no running start, and it's not unusual for him to pass through several defenders on the way up. EA was clearly content to pump out rehashes in the early 90's (imagine that). I eventually sold Bulls vs. Blazers to my friend Tuan for $17
(after getting NBA Jam), and I still remember him calling me up and complaining about how incredibly slow it was.

I was refunded in full. I emailed the seller and said that while I loathe the prospect of giving negative feedbacks, given the situation and my desire to act truthfully, I would find it hard to give a positive review. I told them that I wanted to be fair and give them a chance to reply before I do anything.
The seller emailed back apologizing and claiming he was in the hospital. While there, he turned over his business/site to his adult children who screwed it up. As a result, he has been getting many negative feedbacks and is painfully watching as the business he built is being trashed. He apologized and told me he had already refunded the money (which I confirmed).
Given that he refunded the money, offered an apology and didn't request the games back, I gave him a Neutral feedback which pointed out the fact that the games took more than five weeks to arrive and reeked of tobacco smoke. If he would have not returned the money or had given me lip I definately would have gone the negative route.
Anyway, chapter closed!
