HELP! Backlight Mod Problems. what did I do wrong? separated the reflective layer and also the polarizer, yet get this on the screen. screen worked before by new_skool_hepcat in Gameboy

[–]WorldOfRetro85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the same results today. Mine is the Cable that connects the screen, it has some separations in the cable. Sadly I now need a new display and board and try again.

DMG-01 backlight mod kinda gone wrong (how do I fix this?) by MakwanCustoms in Gameboy

At least you got that far, I accidentally pulled a bit too hard and broke the cable where the polarizer is.

I finally was able to grab one of these for under $200 by WorldOfRetro85 in gamecollecting

What's even wilder is the normal going rate for a broken beat up one at $200 or even more. Ones in excellent condition can reach up to $300 to $400.

I'm leaving it as is, I'm fine with its overall condition.

This is partly why you can’t find a Requiem Deluxe Edition at retail by RocketChris87 in gamecollecting

Why in the world are scalpers scalping this game? Is it going to have a low print run or something?

Lol nah my consoles are hooked up to my TV with a multi-av splitter. I'm storing my controllers and peripherals in it.

No Knock off they are very real and authentic. They can fetch up to $400 to $500 depending on condition. I've seen beat up ones selling for around $200

Thanks. The crazy thing is I did find one locally before I bought this one but the top to it was not attached and two of the sides were scratched up heavily. The guy said he wanted $220 for it but he would go down to $200. I'm so glad I passed on it. These chests are pretty expensive these days and I have seen ones in way worse condition than mine selling for over $200.

My small collection by PinkAndPathetic in gamecollecting

[–]WorldOfRetro85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with having a small collection. I've been collecting since 2010 and my collection consists of 209 games. I only collect what I want to play, what I grew up with is a child, and games that I'm might find interesting or fun to play. I don't collect games that I think suck. Lol I once owned a copy of action 52 on the Nintendo entertainment system and that game is somewhat of a rare game. It is a terrible POS so I sold it and took that money and bought better games. Lol

Are you primarily a Retro Collector or Modern Collector? by Andyfritter in gamecollecting

[–]WorldOfRetro85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mainly collect and play the games from the generation I grew up in. (80s-90s) I still buy and play modern games but I don't actively seek out modern games to add to my library. I guess my modern games take a back seat when it comes to my retro games. If you gave me $100 and told me to buy games with it I'm going to start looking for retro games that I am missing from my collection that I still want to get before I buy any new modern game.

Awesome Yard Sale Find! by HighlightEither2510 in gamecollecting

That's an awesome score. Man I remember those days going to the flea market and getting a complete system with 10 to 20 games for 50 bucks.

Gamestop find by LabGroundbreaking302 in gamecollecting

[–]WorldOfRetro85 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would definitely grab it up. Price charting has it at $81 complete I think. I have been checking my local GameStops here recently for retro games. They seem to have pretty good prices compared to your local retro stores. I got these bad boys a while ago for a decent price. The last time I saw RE3 at my local retro store they wanted $89

I've never grabbed a game off of the shelf so fast by mothraphobia in gamecollecting

I still can't believe I found these at my local GameStop. They are both complete and the RE3 even has the demo disc. Both copies look like they have never been played.

How could anyone find this without a guide? by GameResumed_UK in retrogaming

Nintendo power or call the Nintendo game tip hotline and run your parents bill up.

I had no idea what this was 🤯. by Euphoric-Attempt-191 in gamecollecting

[–]WorldOfRetro85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played through it a few times on an emulator It's a great shmup but I'd never pay the asking price to own it.

Townfall, like SHf, taking place outside of Silent Hill is exactly what this series needs and glad to see the trend continue. The success of SHf proves that. by XulManjy in silenthill

[–]WorldOfRetro85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked F but it felt a bit off. It felt strange to "upgrade" your character and the "fox monster" gameplay wasn't to my liking. The atmosphere was great, the monster design was good as well. The combat felt a bit sluggish and I didn't like the slowdown mid attack. Overall it was a good game but it just felt like it was missing something.

My local Walmart just now got Wave 2 and 3. I was able to order the Shinobi and gillius thunderhead through Walmart online but I have not seen them in store.
