ubersaurus #51 Posted February 13, 2002 I saw that. Final Fantasy isn't worth that, I can tell you. I got it for free, and I'm not sure it's worth that much! I can't stand that game. Dragon Warrior was so much better. And Earthbound Zero. Wish Nintendo would let us sell THAT at a gaming convention. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemmi #52 Posted February 13, 2002 Oh and dont bother going to the Funcolands in Detroit, i went to the one on 8 mile (since i was in the area) and ALL there games look like they were found in the trash, they were all dirty and the contacts you could hardly tell they had any, all the dirt and corrosion on them was pittiful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lemmi #55 Posted February 18, 2002 DUDE!!!!!! SWEET!!!!! (Where's my Car) I just sent you a e-mail Thanks a ton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+-^CrossBow^- #56 Posted February 18, 2002 BUMP!!! Lemmi...look at the new scan...I cleaned her up for ya...and tested it last night. The cart seems to work just fine. I am getting scrambled game graphics...but I blame my NES connector..and not the game. Still, I will send you my receipt that way you can exchange the game at your local Funco should anything go goofy with it. Enjoy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemmi #57 Posted February 18, 2002 Thanks Crossbow, It seems common with the camerica games to have scrambled graphics from time to time even with my top loader NES it happens. Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ubersaurus #58 Posted February 18, 2002 I guess those Detroit games are beyond the relm of rubbing alcohol help, eh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemmi #59 Posted February 18, 2002 quote: Originally posted by ubersaurus: I guess those Detroit games are beyond the relm of rubbing alcohol help, eh Well maybe not, but i wouldnt want to clean off rust and corrosion as bad as that, cause over time i think its those carts that will quit working first, when i buy a NES game i try to find the best contacts i can. heh its not only the contacts either there are so many there that look like they were stored/buried in the backyard and i saw a few with teeth marks from dogs on them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+-^CrossBow^- #60 Posted February 18, 2002 I'm lucky in that most of the stuff I get from Funco is actually in really good shape. Or better yet there are usually multiples of what I want and I can sift through until I find the best looking one. The Wing Commander I picked up Saturday along with Lemmi's BigNose cart were both in really good shape. His big nose cart has some rubbing on the corners as normal for NES carts. But considering that his cart came from a video rental originally...I think it is in really good shape. Scanners cannot do any justice to the shininess of these carts. They tend to only show the flaws. Still, while I didn't have to...I still took Lemmi's BigNose cart apart and cleaned the contacts internally before testing it. They actually looked pretty dern shiny to begin with but I still saw some crap attached to them that I wanted off of there. Guess, I am just lucky to find the stuff in this good of shape. My Tetris is near mint near as I can tell, and upon looking at the contacts for it...it looked hardly used as I couldn't even find scrape marks on the contacts from previous insertions into an NES in the past. Lucky me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemmi #61 Posted February 18, 2002 Funcolands in the suburbs have a better looking quality of carts, i just hate how they put the price tags on the end labels and sometimes on the front labels (i just dont get it) but in Detroit teenagers and kids dont take care of their stuff, i know this first hand, a few friends back in the prime of the NES would buy games throw away the boxes, manuals, and sleeves that the games came in, and they had a huge box in the corner of the room they would go in and grab some games and take it to the TV and when they were done playing that game they would throw the game back into the box from across the room (which bugged me even back then) All their games/Systems looked like crap, chipped pieces, cracked games and systems, it was around this time i started taking care of all my items seriously Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+-^CrossBow^- #65 Posted February 20, 2002 Lemmi, sorry that I haven't gotten back with you. I have been working on some projects at home regarding a second PC setup for some of that ole Classic AT goodness. also I have been busy teaching these past few weeks. I have lots to catch up on...but I am always so tired... Anyway, shoot me another email with your address so I can figure up the shipping...(Most likely 3.50 since it weighs less than a pound...and I only ship Via Priority Mail.)..Then I will give the grand total...you can either then send me a MO or paypal me the amount...either is fine.
