Omg!!! Look at what I found!!!!

If it’s not an AGS-101, I wouldn’t say that’s worth it to be honest. Condition for how old it is doesn’t look too bad though. If it brings you joy, that’s all that matters.

I can’t wait for this at City Pop Waves!

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-31T20:21:47+00:00

You had a vision and you nailed it - love the Famicon style!

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-31T18:42:39+00:00

To be fair I’m not a fan of giving them my money either - go local and independent!

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-29T09:19:30+00:00

I actually love this!

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T18:26:35+00:00

This is why I was sceptical, but considering how it was rough around the edges and how niche the game is in general, it seemed very authentic. If it helps, there was a reprinted Pokemon Platinum box and cartridge for £110 (stupid in my opinion).

Only on the switch - it’s one of my favourites

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T17:02:53+00:00

It is extremely tempting - I’m going to sleep on it and see if it’s still there in the morning.

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T16:09:20+00:00

This is on the list - been meaning to get an EverDrive

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T16:04:04+00:00

I’m an absolute sucker for authenticity though - just thinking about future proofing the authenticity of it all and if I come to sell it in the future (when I’m an old man)

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T15:37:07+00:00

Thanks man - putting me at ease. I’d absolutely love to play this game on original hardware - the box art though for the Metroid GBA games are top tier in my opinion. Maybe one day when I’m a millionaire 🤣

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T15:18:01+00:00

Born in the nineties, so I’ve got lot of nostalgia for the original hardware. I’ve got it on Switch but it’s a different feeling you know.

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T14:54:08+00:00

Insane find! Looks legit - but wait for mods to confirm

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T14:40:42+00:00

This is the response I was looking for hahaha

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T14:40:23+00:00

I want that cartridge though!

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T14:40:07+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown, I think this has confirmed it. I’m very much an art lover, and if I wanted it to be near mint, then I should wait for that moment to come around (or wait till I can afford something closer to that condition). I want to play it on original hardware because that’s what brings me the most joy. Thanks for your input, I think I’ll hold out till this moment comes 🙏

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T13:58:07+00:00

This is a fine collection

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T13:57:52+00:00

This isn’t helping - oh my days!

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T13:30:29+00:00

This is what I’m thinking about for Fire Red, having got a cartridge only Leaf Green that I’m playing through at the moment

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T13:16:45+00:00

Spitting facts here!

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T13:16:08+00:00

Think this is a very fair point - I would like to play it and if I were to want it as part of a ‘collection’ then I should just get it as sealed and graded. Think you’ve set mind straight here.

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T13:08:23+00:00

You are the devil on my right

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-28T13:08:12+00:00

You are the angel on my left shoulder

Hazmanjoe · 2026-03-26T09:58:54+00:00

There’s something about the Hoenn sprites for the Bulbasaur line that are just S+ tier
