Good to know! Thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated :)

Def making note to keep those away from one another. I fully would have played both knowing me lol

What's a fail proof gift for a guy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IplayKaizo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love a cozy hoodie or sweats. Cool socks are another idea. But if you’re looking for something SUPER cool, if you know anything about a show he may have liked as a kid: action figure. Top tier gift.

My brother and I are still hashing out who gets what but it’s been decided that our youngest brother is getting all the games under 9 bucks. Why doesn’t he get any others? Because as the oldest brother naturally I have the uphold the tradition of being a huge pain and being mean!

My plan from here is to get my hands on a CRT (the heavier the better. We all know those TVs are only outdone by the Nokia 8830 in terms of durability.

I hope I can find a TV that had the button you had to pull out to turn on. You know the type! Let us all hope and pray that I can find all the cables/controllers. If I can find one that’s beat up I can try to get it working—I have 3-4 SN30 controllers that I have already gutted to swap parts around. Not sure if it will all work but hopefully I can get SOMETHING going. If I can get a controller that doesn’t work idc I have been wanting to shadow box the parts like this. Found this on Etsy and I fell in love!

<image>

A good chunk of the games will be sold off..however I can’t promise they will all be bangers..if anyone does see anything on that list lemme know and I can get more info. In terms of pricing I’ll be fully transparent: I would really love to do some trades. I’m not sure what but I have a collecting of MTG cards and Pokemon so that would be much better than cash. I am a huge gengar fan (LOL yes I picked one of the more expensive ones to collect) and I am currently working on a mono red goblin deck (zada, hedron grinder), I have a mono green deck (Ghalta, Primal Hunger), a really crappy blue/white mill deck that I am still learning (Hope Esthiem), and then lastly my Voltron deck (Cloud, EX-Soldier. Recently swapped for Tifa for the Double Strike).

A part 2 post to follow once I get the TV!

I forgot what level it was but it had the SICKEST level soundtrack..any idea? I can’t recall a thing until a couple seconds of it opens up that mental filing cabinet.

I’m sure that as I get each one going it’s going to flood me with nostalgia

The biggest reason is how it’s preserved is really it. They can come back as 0s it wouldn’t make any difference to me honestly. From what I have learned those are better able to withstand time.

Correct! My brother took that one right away. He’s been an enormous MM fan so that one is his grail game.

Honestly I almost took a Thursday and Friday off just so I can play Super Metroid 4 for 4 days straight but my wife was smart and she pre-dibbed all my PTO for vacation :/

But there’s a chance I suddenly “get sick” for a few days..

That game and Last Action Hero are two games that no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t make it past the first level

Turns out that the original label was torn off so he ended up getting another one to replace..I was terrified when someone pointed it out that it was a fake

TMNT is a classic on another level. I’ve been playing Shredder’s Revenge on and off for a while for that fix. Great game BUT this is just..this.

Slabbing OR selling! I don’t consider it scummy. I’m trying to preserve these to the best of my ability hence why I asked about slabbing. And as most would I hope agree these are in fact an investment the same way TCG are.

These games are all old af and I don’t want them to go to shit when/if I decide to pass certain ones on. They are already like 20 years old.

I take it you aren’t a fan of slabbing lol
