[NSG's Name That Game]

Ninja Golf

[SNES Classic who got one? Thoughts?]

I would like to get one, but haven't been able to get out to any stores recently to take a look.

[Thrift Store Finds]

A couple of boxed Odyssey 2 games.

 

As a side note, I have an Odyssey 2 console and a few games for sale if anyone is interested.

Speaking purely hypothetically, how much would you be asking for said Odyssey 2?

[Wiishop Closure Announced]

Nintendo has released a statement that the Wiishop will be closing in spring, 2019.

Wiipoints can be added to purchase games until March, 2018.

 

If there are any WiiWare or Virtual Console games you guys still want to download, best do it sooner, rather than later.

[Who loved the PlayStation 2 ?]

I got my PS2 at a charity auction for $30. Best 30 bucks ever spent. Great games, great controller, I love being to play movies on it, but the best thing I love about it is the backwards compatibility. Awesome stuff.

[Our New House Arrived!]

Cool stuff!! Love the boxed NES and is that a zelda 3ds i see?

That is indeed. It is the box for the Hyrule Edition New 3DS XL.

[Our New House Arrived!]

And this is the start of my new game area!

[Getting the smoke smell out of manuals]

which trakball model was it for?  there are a couple of different trakball models for the 2600 and 8-bits.

Model CX22.

[Show Off Your Successful Trades!]

Another great purchase from NSG.

Ladybug and Motocross for the Intellivision. Only 107 more to go.

[NSG's Name That Game]

That's some amazing graphics for the 2600.

[Deals and Steals]

I got Cities: Skylines at Wal-Mart for a ridiculously low price. I wish I had the box handy to see what it was. I think it was as low as $0.96.

[Abandoned - Youtube series]

The only downside is these videos make me want to explore these locations myself.

[Games for Trade]

NSG, just curious if you saw my last PM reply?

[FS: Atari VCS/2600 carts]

Is this list still valid?

[Games for Trade]

This is a tough decision, man, but I am absolutely interested in one of those INTV games. I'll hit you up with a PM once I decide which one to get.

[Facebook Finds]

The 2001 and 3001 have a built in microphone, and faster processors. I believe they were also redesigned to make connecting them to a television much easier.

 

My model is a 3001 that I purchased new in 2009, and it seems to me to be the absolute best version.

[Facebook Finds]

PSP is one of the best handhelds around.

[NSG's Name That Game]

Darn, I was certain it would be Ninja Golf... It's my stock reply whenever the 7800 comes up.

[Things You've Found In Old Systems]

I have, in the past, found a game called Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions in my Xbox, and Robocop in a boxed NES.

[Getting the smoke smell out of manuals]

Basically. I had it stored with my Wii instruction manuals and the whole stack got wet. The trak-ball manual became stuck fast to the cover of the Wii manual, and all attempts to separate the two have proved fruitless. They just tear whenever I tried, so I've got two manuals fused together and completely useless.

 

The mention of using an hair dryer in the link you shared just happened to remind me of one of the suggestions for separation google turned up back when I was trying to save the two manuals. Needless to say, it didn't work.

 

EDIT: Now that I think of it, perhaps I ought to post a thread chronicling my efforts to dry out my collection, and what has worked and what hasn't as a helpful reference...

[Getting the smoke smell out of manuals]

Speaking of preserving old manuals, sadly the Atari Trak-ball manual I saved from the trash awhile back was essentially destroyed back when the storm wrecked our house earlier this year.

[Which 2600 model are you particularly fond of?]

I think the Jr is the best looking. So sleek and slim.
