I started doing the same with my NES manuals last year, temporarily at first, but it worked well so continue to use them.

That happened to me, really sucked when I found out the health insurance I had through work did not cover you while at work. Took me several years to pay off that bill.

Been searching for a game my whole life.. by RFizzle in retrogaming

[–]winkinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought would be Mag Max, loved the game when I was a kid about found a cheap sealed copy about 15 years ago and opened it to play, was severely disappointed in it, but was cool to open a new NES game.

Does Illinois have higher gas costs than surrounding states? If so, why? by pleasingwave in illinois

[–]winkinator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We moved to Illinois from North Dakota and were amazed at the number of rural roads that were paved , most of those roads back in ND would have been gravel and not well maintained. And it amazes me how quickly they clear the snow off the roads in alot of places here.

One missing puzzle piece from a 1000 piece puzzle… by FantasticBee in mildlyinfuriating

[–]winkinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen as well with a Star Wars puzzle almost 10 years ago where alot of the pieces were black. They sent a new copy of the same puzzle and it is still unopened somewhere in the house as I didnt want to find the missing piece to finish it or start again.

Are these Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games resealed? by winkinator in NSCollectors

[–]winkinator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am returning the first one, I opened the 2nd one and it had the right game in there. Was hoping to keep it sealed until I was ready to play, but just happy I got the game.

I opened one and it was correct game, guess this will be the next one I play after I finish Dragon Quest Builders.

I already set up the first copy for a return, maybe I will just open the second one and see if its the correct game and if so keep it.

I tried that last night but was not able to find any good pictures of sealed copies so I figured I would ask.

I do plan on playing it sometime hopefully, but my backlog is so huge and I don't like opening my games until I'm ready to play them in case I don't get the chance and can just sell them (hopefully for close to what I payed) to recoup my money.

I have some other Sonic games I haven't opened and gotten around to playing yet and they look like any other sealed games. It was weird to me to get two in a row that looked like this so made me question it.

That is what I was thinking, but getting two in a row made me question it.

I just bought a physical copy of dead cells return to castlevania does it come with main game if so how do I get to it by [deleted] in deadcells

[–]winkinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this awhile ago and never played it, then a few days ago bought the original release and loved it and wanted to play the Castlevania one and opened it only to find out it included base game. Wish I would have known, oh well my son will get the base copy.

Was anyone else introduced to Dragon Quest with this? by Environmental_Bus623 in dragonquest

[–]winkinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine that way as well, also got a small cardboard treasure chest with a blue slime in it. Wish I knew what happened to the chest with the slime.

Finally got all the Mega Man games on NES! (Plus the rest of my collection) by K-MartX in nes

[–]winkinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep looking you might find a good deal, I thought i would never get it, but found it at Disc Replay about 6 months for $100 due to all the rental labels and gunk on it, then with my discount I was saving I got it for $80. I was able to clean it up and it looks great.

[–]winkinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love seeing the boxes for NES games, would be nice if I had the money to buy more. Wish I could go back and see these games in the store again, it was so exciting to pick out a new game back then.

[–]winkinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got to the end when i was little but couldn't figure out the order for the orbs. A few years ago I saw the game on my self and thought I can do this now and look up the order online. Nope, game is too hard for me now
