36,500 -- a small improvement. Bring it, Mr. Harry.

I’m trying my best! 12,520.

I do wish they included the original 2600 ports of the arcade games on the flashback units. Who is buying these just to play home brew games instead of the versions they grew up with?

I'm bumping this topic because I finally found a copy of Metroid II! I am so overjoyed. The battery was dead when I got it, but after I got it replaced it only took me a few hours to beat it. This game is somehow even better than I remembered it. It holds up so well. Probably my favorite Metroid game after Super. 

I think it might actually be my favorite Game Boy game.

I am not an older classic gamer, but I sure do have the music taste of one.

This video is a classic. The hair says it all.

Edit: I know this technically doesn't meet the criteria, BUT... it does have hair. That should count for something.

Does the Flashback 9 have an SD card slot? Just load the BIN on it if it does.

It’s been a hot minute since I participated in one of these. 9470.

Is the rom for KC publicly available? I’d love to try it out sometime. I have the O2 cart and it’s a pretty fun game, though Krazy chase looks better.

Only 2 days, so not very good— wait a second, I think I have the wrong game!

I’ve been using Pricecharting.com to keep track of the family’s collection for about ten months now. It works really well! it took a few days to upload it all online though, but since then it’s been super easy to add stuff to it.

[Odyssey 2 games on the 2600]

Have you guys heard of these?

I tried these games out that I found over at AA. They’re conversions of some Odyssey 2 games for the 2600. As some of you know, I’m a very big fan of the Odyssey 2 console and the 2600, so it’s nice to see that someone cared enough to port these games over. What are your thoughts?

Me, I don’t know. I’d much rather play these on the Odyssey itself. But it’s nice to see that they exist at all.

[Post your latest/recent pickups!]

I’m so flipping happy right now. I’ve been looking for this game for years and years. I finally found a copy of it! I got this from a different game store than the one I usually go to. The save battery is dead (I wish the store told me that beforehand but no biggie), but at least I have a copy of it. I now own physical copies of every 2D Metroid game! Now I just have to wait for Dread to come out…

I think you have more loose carts that you didn’t know about than I have loose carts period! Awesome find @MaximumRD!

That game is awesome but it ruined my life in several ways. I both love and hate it. But it’s so hard! And I passed up a super game boy to get it and the next day I found a bunch of game boy games in the basement with no game boy!

Thanks for keeping the three Marios in chronological order! Is that Startropics I see?

Oh geez. I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences.

[Post your latest/recent pickups!]

Those are in fantastic condition. I have a few O2 boxes myself. I see boxed games usually go for five or ten bucks.

Forgot to mention it, but I got this with Mario Deluxe. Anyone played this before? I’ve NEVER seen anyone ever talk about it. I imagine it’s one of the rarer Odyssey 2 games as I’ve never seen it in person before or mentioned outside of the catalogs, but it was pretty cheap. It’s a ton of fun.

Tim was sold as it is @RickR. I wonder if it was made like that or if the previous owners painted it.

A gamer/reseller in a local group is having a garage sale today. Turns out he lives only 5 minutes from me, so I stopped by this morning. There was an in-the-box Odyssey 2 for $20 that was calling me, but I paused to think about my collecting rule not to go older than the 2600. While I was thinking about it, someone snagged it--how rude 😆 but moral crisis abated 🤣

I've been on a Dynasty Warriors kick lately. When I mentioned that I enjoyed the combat in Drakengard, someone recommended that I give Dynasty Warriors a look. Turns out he was right. I'm currently playing Dynasty Warriors Gundam on the Xbox 360.

NOOOO! The horror! The odyssey 2 is so good! 
 

I’m kidding of course. You have some great pickups there. That Frogger game is pretty interesting. They used the same box art for a ton of arcade ports of Frogger to things like the SNES and Genesis, but the PS1 version iirc is an original game! And it has the same art! Weird, huh?

And now I'm on the hunt again for a working "Great Baseball".

I saw some great sports games at the store the other day. I don’t remember if Baseball was there.

I like that game a lot, @HDN!  Very cool pickup.  Anytime you take a classic like SMB and add more levels and features, that's a very good thing.  I know people like to complain about the smaller screen size...but I think it takes an old classic and adds a little bit of challenge. 

 

I know, right? It’s a great package with tons of content. Plus, I’ve played so much SMB that I’ve practically memorized the level layouts at this point. I somehow managed to beat Lost Levels with the screen crunch as a kid, and that’s the only way I’ve ever beaten that game.

[Harry’s Game Room Redux]

Ive talked about my games in my game room a lot here, but I don’t think I’ve mentioned one of my favorite parts about it. This is Tim the goose. He lives in my game room. I found him at a garage sale for a dollar a few months back. I’m happy to have him here; he adds a lot to the atmosphere of the place. And hey, I love geese! I Thought it’d be a nice change of pace to show you guys Tim.
