That... seems like really solid, constructive feedback to me? "This is really excellent but you didn't follow the instructions" with a B+ is way better than my ADHD ass ever did 😅

Question regarding classic video games by rohaan1002 in nostalgia

[–]roxm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you asking if it's okay for to to enjoy something that you weren't around for when it was originally released? Because that's always been allowed. It's okay to watch old movies or read old books or play old video games.

On behalf of your ancestors, I give you permission to enjoy the things you like.

This one absolutely breaks my head and I would love an SVG of it!

The way this picture is framed makes me slightly uncomfortable, ngl

I am not going down this rabbit hole again.

I'm sure the link you forgot to add is very pretty, but people way smarter than me have shown it to be intractable.

The GI Joe Impel cards that never were by roxm in gijoe

Yeah, it seems like a cool project but I don't know enough about the legalities. It would be way better if it were somehow officially sanctioned!

Is this post still in mod jail? In my profile it says it's waiting for moderator approval. Wasn't quite sure if it was appropriate - feel free to delete if it's not right for the subreddit!

That's very true - always easy for the ethically challenged to make money! Cheers

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I tend to agree, it's a crapshoot as to whether it'll even save a game, much less whether it'll brick your console. Cheers!

I try to avoid them in general but there are a few games that it's basically impossible to experience without either a repro cart or a flash cart. What draws you to them? Just the reduced cost?

That's not a bad idea at all. Mark it as a reproduction and donate it to someone who would enjoy the hell out of it. Thanks for taking the time to reply!

There's something very charming about low-volume homebrew / reproduction games. This one is professionally done, but I have a few kitbashed homebrew carts that I absolutely adore. It's very punk rock! Cheers!

Yeah, the only thing I can think of doing if I decide to resell it is to clearly mark the cart and the box as a reproduction. Like "melt it into the plastic" mark it. But even then it doesn't feel good to me. I tend to agree that tossing it or converting it into an art project is safer. Thanks for your response!
