N-Gage collectors thread

[fishsandwich]

whats the ONLY site to get them ? letstalk.com

anywhere from $14.99 for atari 1 to $24.99 for Warhammer...

Do these come complete with cases and manuals? Does anyone know?

Yep, they come complete just like the retail ones including a seal and outer wrap.

LetsTalk is the only place I know that sells the American versions of these games. Too bad much of the staff are not so smart. If you get an idiot just hang up and try again.

Your only other option is ebay.

Have fun. I played the hell of of my QD last night.

Hi my name is Chris and I now collect for Ngage.

After having this score:

http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=990730#990730

I guess I am now an Ngage collector! :P

Any advice? Scoop up the letstalk.com games ASAP??

-Chris

Another recent N-Gage fan ;)

My pics out of the letstalk.com games: Glimmerati, High Sieze and Mile High Pinball. Some of the best games on the system, IMO.

Also, get a big MMC card and load it up with movies, mp3's and emulators.

anywhere from $14.99 for atari 1 to $24.99 for Warhammer...

Do these come complete with cases and manuals? Does anyone know?

The games only available from letstalk.com come in standard cases with inserts and instructions just like the games bought retail. Some of them don't have barcodes on the back, but they all have ESRB ratings are are definitely not just PAL versions being resold. I should mention I'm talking about the North American versions.

I have to say for people just getting started with collecting for the N-Gage you picked the perfect time. With the instore games being sold for $3 and the online games still being available you all should be able to complete a collection cheaply. I don't imagine the N-Gage games growing in value that much but I imagine a year from now the games being much harder to find.

I think it might be safe to say that we hit the end of the line with N-Gage game cards at 54 US releases plus Sega Rally for a total of 55. A number that went higher than most people thought it would. I remember a thread over a year ago that was speculating SSX as the last N-Gage game. However, I think this really is the end.

So what will happen to Payload and Shadowborn? Will they be available for download or will they be going to some other cell phone platform entirely?

Anyone know?

off the current direction of the thread, anyone know why mile high pinball was being hyped on the E3 page? was that to be a sequel?

[qbertandernie]

[classicb]

my thoughts are all the games not released will be released as downloadable games on the new phones.

the Mile High Pinball shown at E3 is the same Mile High we all have. The only games that were different were One and System Rush and those games only run on that fancy new Nokia phone N9? I think for the most part the N-Gage games will be ported over to the smartphones unchanged.

[slapdash]

So, are there versions of Virtua Tennis with the name instead of a blank space?

[roushimsx]

I doubt I'll ever get a complete set of N-Gage games, but I'm trying like hell to get all of the games I want to play.

After beating Ghost Recon and becoming obscenely addicted to Pathway to Glory, I've decided to order the next 4 games I want to sink unhealthy amounts of my life into.

prepare for unhealthy amounts of life to sink into High Sieze and PTG Ikusa Islands for sure. I never really got into Rifts but I don't think that means its a bad game I just never got into it as much as the PTG games and High Sieze. I'm waiting for my copy of Warhammer as well.

Other games I sunk unhealthy amounts of my life into were Mile High Pinball, Glimerati, and Colin McRae Rally (everytime I play this game I can't believe i'm playing it on a cell phone).

[Slipdeath]

So, are there versions of Virtua Tennis with the name instead of a blank space?
Yeah I have both...The version with the name on the spine is much harder to find in my opinion. I bought it off somebody on the boards.

[classicb]

ok so this is kind of weird they cancel Payload then release a demo for it x_x http://arena.n-gage.com/n-gage/web/en/downloads/gamesdemos/index.html

I haven't tried it yet but some people on the N-Gage board have and say its horrible so maybe this one was best left undone.

[classicb]

also I edited the list on the first page so the game are listed in the order they were released. just in case anyone wanted to know until the DP guide is updated.

I won't be able to try it out for at least a month due to being away from home. I'm interested in hearing how it plays and what people think about it though.

[GrandAmChandler]

Found some more games today. This is all I need left!

1. Puzzle Bobble Vs
26. Asphalt: Urban GT
33. King Of Fighters Extreme
37. Roots: Gates Of Chaos *

Online order only games in the U.S. (letstalk.com)

I need all of these :/


EDIT: Sega Rally Acquired. 8-)
EDIT: More Acquired

It's VERY rough - I can see why they decided to pull the plug on this one, the graphics are bad and it's hard to tell what's going on, if you're even hitting the other cars, etc.

On a positive note, Lumines Mobile plays great on the N-Gage :)

[fishsandwich]

I am having issues getting Payload to run. Can you guys tell me how you did it?

I got Warhammer today... That makes 55. :D

For Payload, load the files from the zip onto your memory card to the /system/apps and /system/libs directories as they're laid out in the zip. Plut the MMC back into your N-Gage and Payload should show up in your menu.

It did indeed. Thank yopu very much for the advice! The icon showed up just like you said!

Then it said "System Error" and shut down

:angry: :angry: :angry:

Anyone have a fix? Could my N-Gae have a bunch of junk on it that's preventing the application from booting up? Anyone?

[K3V]

Yeah, you might want to try a blank MMC if you've got one sitting around...

[fishsandwich]

Yeah, you might want to try a blank MMC if you've got one sitting around...

I did. Didn't work. Shit! i was really looking forward to playing this. Dammit. Oh, well. I plan on buying a backup N-Gage at some point... maybe I can play it then.

Thanks for the help!

[classicb]

There's a lot of speculation going on in the n-gage arena about Payload being released. Just because letstalk.com isn't carrying it doesn't mean that it won't be released outside the US. I think that it probably will be released somewhere since they released the demo and still advertise the payload website on the front page of the n-gage.com site. Or letstalk could still release it which wouldn't be too much of a surprise since they never seem to know what's going on.

I finally got the game to work. To anyone who gets the icon for the game followed by an error message, try...

"Payload_demo" folder goes in SYSTEM > APPS
"Libs" and "Programs" stays in SYSTEM.

I didn't have a "Programs" folder in there so I just made a folder that said Programs. I pasted the "Libs" folder in the system folder and then tried the icon again. Booted right up.

I had made myself believe this was some sort of Twisted metal clone... something I would have loved. I was wrong.

This demo sucks. I know it claims to be an incomplete build but I have the feeling this is how the final game plays. I can't imagine them doing much to improve what's there already to a point where it would be fun.

I can't see this game being released anywhere, but what the hell do I know? The last year's releases have been awesome and this demo is the polar opposite of "awesome." Ok, it's not *that* bad but it is pretty damn disappointing.

The N-Gage forums have tips on the objectives. I may change my opinion once I play with it awhile (and I will) but I doubt I'll start liking it more.

Give it a shot and see what you think, folks!

I forgot about that one. I hear that the N-Gage was (is?) much more popular in Asia so you could be right. I'd buy it just to have it.

[classicb]

So whats the news on warhammer? And does anyone (classicb) have any pics on the last batch of games?


I think most people who ordered Warhammer have it by now. I just got mine the other day. Here's a picture of the last batch of games for those that want them. I guess these could be the last games.

http://pickledvellum.com/3newone.jpg

[classicb]

I noticed the Online Rarity Guide is up to date now with N-Gage releases. So people who use the guide to keep track of games they have and need can do so again. :)

Also if this is the end how many people have already finished their collection when they recieved Warhammer. I'm sure quite a few of you.

If this is indeed the end then I've finished my first collection of games for a system. I even got a copy of Sega Rally and I normally just collect US releases. Anyway its been fun and I'll keep one eye open for Payload if it ever gets released somewhere. LOL

[qbertandernie]

this is the only complete collection i have as well...kinda sucks that i just bought them as they came out, but this is kind of unique to the game world in that if i dont order them the chance ill ever see them anywhere is slim. i hate shopping games on ebay, and i think the per state ratio of ngage collectors is probably single digits...

[classicb]

this is the only complete collection i have as well...kinda sucks that i just bought them as they came out

I agree it's not the same as having a great find at a garage sale or thrift store but I thought it was fun to track the ups and many downs of Nokia during this time. The guessing of will it come out or not LOL is it out or not LOL

[qbertandernie]

and "no, you carry them..yes, for the ngage...theyre games...yes, im sure you carry them. ok, ill hold while you check. no, i know for a fact theyre in stock. yes, i have them on preorder. from your website. yes, letstalk.com. go to the front page...then to nokia..then ngage qd...then accessories, then to games. yes, i told you you carried them. no, i know theyre in stock. ok, ill wait while you see if you can just ship the one game. yes? thanks"

ROFL yet somehow we all got our games

[GrandAmChandler]

Are there any kinds of free shipping codes or anything? Also the ngage site says high seize is $20 (But won't add to the cart), but letstalk.com says it's $25. I am confused.

[qbertandernie]

call and ask the operator for discounts and you can get 10% off...thats the only code i know of. and it only works if you get someone who has a clue.

[c2000]

Got five of the six SEGA releases, now it's only Sega Rally to go :P

[fishsandwich]

If there's an upside to the N-Gage not getting any more new games, it must be the hope and dream that none of us never, ever have to talk to anyone at LetsTalk again. My first experience with them was great and then each sucessive one got worse and worse until I, too, was telling the employee how to seach their system for the item I wanted to purchase from his company.

Oh yeah... Payload still smells. I played that demo for almost an hour looking for some fun. I did not find it.

[fishsandwich]

Hell... I had no idea that demos (possible even full versions?) of the unreleased games Virtual Cop and Alien Front were even available, much less playable.

The Virtua Cop I found has been hacked with Resident Evil characters, zombie sounds, and various RE graphics for the loading screen and such. Does anyone know where to download (the non-hacked version) regular Virtua Cop? Is there a way to get rid of the RE files from the hacked game so it will revert back to VC?

EDIT

Nevermind. I found the original. I much prefer the original to the hack if only because it looks like it was originally intended to look. The original and the hack seem to play the same. The game looks pretty good (not as good as the Saturn, though) and seems to be pretty interesting but you REALLY need a gun for this sort of thing.

http://www.allaboutngage.com/images/virtuacop/virtuacop02.jpg

Alien Front Online plays like DOOM so far.

http://www.allaboutngage.com/images/alienfront/alienfront04.jpg

Still, it's really cool to finally find these games. I think I'm going to put them on individual MMC cards and make a box with insert for it.

[qbertandernie]

hey fishsandwich...mind linking to those sites? id love to have those demos too!

[c2000]

They still have both games listed at Allack :roll:

[classicb]

I actually grabbed a display box for Virtua Cop back in the day. Here's a scan of it if anyone wanted to use it. I can make a higher res scan when I get home but that won't be until July 15th.

http://pickledvellum.com/virtuacop.tif

YES! Many thanks! PLEASE make a higher-resolution scan. That would be awesome. I've got a scan of an early Sonic N box if anyone is interested. The front looks mostly the same with the title being relocated and the art a slight bit different. The spine is all white as opposed to checkerboard white/blue, the back is totally different.

I'll be happy to post links to the demos, but it will have to wait until Monday when I'm at my work PC where I saved the links. If you don't want to wait you can google it. You'll find it if you keep looking and digging, but I'll post the links Monday nevertheless. Try...

"virtual cop" n-gage download
and
"alien front" n-gage download


Both games appear to be complete, not demos. I played Alien Front until the end. It's a lot like the Dreamcast game with PSone quality graphics and smaller levels. I remember beating the Dreamcast single-player game very quickly. I imagine the online game was what made Alien Front Online (DC) so cool and the fact that the N-Gage port of Alien Front (no Online) sees to be missing it is a serious blow to the game. I mean, I finished it in less than an hour (just with tanks... I didn't play much as the Alien race but it seems to be about the same.)

Virtua Cop is actually more fun than I thought at first... it's surprisingly good. The loss of the gun is a big deal and the cursor isn't that fast but it works ok. Like I said... it's no Saturn but it's not terribly far off from a graphical standpoint.

[MasterChief78]

http://pickledvellum.com/virtuacop.tif

woah sweet. thanks.

ive also played alien front strait through, so i can confirm its complete. its really not bad, but i may be biased being such a fan of the dreamcast version.

[fishsandwich]

Hello all...

You can download Alien Front from the link below. Just check the "Free" button at the bottom and then wait for the download counter. This is also the site where where you can get Virtua Cop. I don't have the link for it, though. Google it if you can't find it.

Hey,
I know this goes in buying and selling but just letting you guys know I just got a couple extra demos for n gage (Tony Hawk and Pandemonium) both "Not for resale". If anyone is interested in buying drop me a PM.

As for the res...happy gaming!!

Mike

Are the "Not For Resale" games worth much more than the normal versions? I came across NFRS copies of Ashen and a few others but wasn't sure if they'd be worth picking up.

[slapdash]

So, are there versions of Virtua Tennis with the name instead of a blank space?

Yeah I have both...The version with the name on the spine is much harder to find in my opinion. I bought it off somebody on the boards.

Well, okay. Does anyone have an extra one then?

It begs the question though... Are there other games with a blank (well, no title) spine then?

[dbiersdorf]

When my phone is set to vibrate only, it won't vibrate and a tiny buzzing noise comes out of the speaker when it rings instead. Is there anyway to fix this? Is it broken?

[NESVIDIOT]

Help!!!!
I've been talking with Fishsandwich and he has been an incredible help. But I'm still having problems!

I'm trying to get emulators working on my QD- so far all I can get to run is Vboy.
SMS Plus S60 and VNES I can't get to run the roms.
I can run the demo tests that come with VNES but when I put roms in the same folder as the demo's they don't show up when in the QD. ??????
The SMS Plus S60 I just have no clue- no matter where I put roms on the MMC card they won't show up when the card in in the N-gage. It says "Load Rom" then asks which directory to use, but there are no roms in any of the folders.
Anyone else using VNES and SMS Plus S60??? How the hell did you get them to work???

Anyone?

If only it was as easy as the Vboy was........

[dbiersdorf]

I'm not trying to advertise my work or anything, but I thought some of you guys would appreciate this feature I wrote up about the N-Gage.

http://www.modojo.com/features/98/1/

[Steve W]

Thanks for the link to Alien Front. I've been wanting that one for some time. I used to find the box sitting at a local EB Games, but they didn't have it in stock. I told them that it was cancelled and would never come out, and the next time i'd go back there, the box would be back on the shelf again. Finally, after the last time I bought N-Gage games there (and having to hear the sales idiots slam me and the N-Gage as much as possible), I asked them to give the the Alien Front box. Now I have a game to put inside it.

I bought an N-Gage QD the day it came out, and have close to 40 games for it now. I don't bother with the sports games, I never picked up Bomberman because I heard it was abyssmal, and have only bought Atari Masterpieces vol. 1 from letstalk.com.

What other compatible games have you guys bought? I have Atari Retro, which is a Palm OS game that's got a Symbian OS version on the card too. It's got 7 classic Atari 2600 games on it. I haven't seen a lot of other Palm games that are Nokia compatible.

[qbertandernie]

i found this odd copy of bomberman when i was processing some duplicates the other week. its still sealed, but looks as though someone wrote all over an uncut sheet of inserts, and i got just the edge of the wriitng. i know one game had some signed copies, but never heard anaything about bomberman....anyone else have writing on their bombermen inserts?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/qbertandernie/oddbomberman.jpg

[fishsandwich]

It's great to see this topic still has some life yet especially when the por misunderstood N-gage will not be getting any more new games (it seems.)

I'm trying to put together some boxes for some of the unreleased games and I think a few of you N-gage collectors have inserts for some of the games.

Could anyone scan the inserts in a high resolution? The games are...

Virtual Cop
Alient Front

It would be great to have some boxes for these games. I tried making one for Snakes but it needs work. i'm going to try Payload next.

Anyone?

[vintagegamecrazy]

Well, I guess I'm a bit late to the N Gage collecting area, but I found a game stop that had a few titles left for a measly 1.50 each, I got Chaos Theory, Tomb Raider, Operatiion shadow and Colin Mcrae. As soon as I have some more cash I will grab a console. So far I have been impressed with the console so I can't wait to get into full swing collecting and playing.

[SegaAges]

Hmm, so I am now in school again, which means I will be posting in the forums way more.

I haven't said anything about my progress (whether you guys care or not, I like to share, hehehe).

After a deal with chimp69 (thanks again), I am down to 5 n-gage games:
Rifts: Promise of Power
Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands
X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse
Atari Masterpieces Volume 2
Civilization

I am very close to a complete NTSC collection. Does anybody know if that one dude on eBay is still selling copies of sega rally? If not, I am not too worried about it. I am going to pick up atari vol 2 from letstalk since they are selling it for 14.99 and with my college return, I am going to get the other 4. This has to be the most interesting system that I have collected for. The only really rare things I have seen are the cases for Virtua cop and Alien front (store displays), and sega rally. Everything else is simply uncommon or hard to find, but not rare. A perfect example was splinter cell: team stealth action, that game took me forever to find, but I still got it for 7 or 8 (I think).

Also, I noticed we have a few new n-gage collectors. All I can say is: welcome.

fishsandwich: I do not have scans, but I am one of the people interested. When there are scans, I would definately like to know how to use them, because buying a cheap n-gage game for the case is not very hard to do.

[c0ldb33r]

I finally found some cheap ngage games!

I went to a local EB Games and asked the cashier. I've done this a couple of times before and they never had anything. Well I guess they must have found some because I got MLB Slam and The Sims for $1.89 each :D

From now on I'm going to be asking every EB I go into :D

[tom]

i got my N-gage since it was released in UK, and I am just starting to collect for it (had to finish my game.com collection first, which is like, done this week).

The game Flo Boarding came with the phone, was this a European release only?

Sorry, haven't read through the whole thread, in case this already been posted.

[tom]

The date of Flo Boarding is 2003 on the instructions, and the serial # is: 063787 (on the MMC.
I upload the instructions later, photobucket is down at the moment.

The game was also available for download at: www.nokiagame.com

[tom]

Hi Russ, it's a full game and came issued with N-Gage when ordered via a cell phone service (monthly contract).
I put up a picture later, photobucket down again.[/img]

a couple of Flo Boarding are on German ebay right now, selling with the cellphone

[slapdash]

A little rich for my blood right now though...

By the way, anyone know a good source for the screen protector sheets (QD)? I'm too lazy to wander into a cellphone store if I can fire and forget online...

[swlovinist]

I was curious if anyone here has snakes on a card. I know that it is a download game, is there any way to have it on a card to play? I have a complete N-Gage collection, and would love to add this to my set. How about a mock insert for N-gage cases? I am interested in any info on how to get unreleased games on a game card the N-gage can read. I was just curious if anyone on this thread had snakes....

Sure... just transfer it over to a small card. I made an insert for mine and used a case from a crappy game. It's not a very good job, though... I keep meaning to redo it.

It's not hard to get it on the card, though. I took elements off Nokia's website to make the insert.

[esquire]

Well I'm down to needing 2 games to complete my ngage collection - Sega Rally and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, which I should be able to find on ebay. Sega Rally looks like its going to be a bit harder to find.

The last two games I bought off ebay, High Seize and X-Men Legends II are "Gold Master Review" versions of the game. Does anyone know what this means? Are they like a "Greatest Hits" versions? Here is the auction and pic of the items:

[swlovinist]

Nice score, they are actually versions of the games sent to various journalists and people in the video game industry. These versions are full versions, although some of them have variant artwork on them. I have six of these versions in my set of games, and they even come with mini cd-roms you can put in your computer! Nice score, you got a deal.

[classicb]

well shortly after having all the N-Gage games I sold almost all of them. I've never had a complete collection for any system so this was a first. I probably would have kept them but I moved to Nicaragua (off topic story) and downsized my collection to 5 games.

[tom]

right, my little collection so far is coming on nicely.
gotta wait now until next year before i can continue

http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/album311

[esquire]

wow very cool you got one. [SIGNED COPY OF RIFTS] it is real I got an email about it from Nokia before the game was released. It didn't say how many he signed but that the first batch would be signed by him. I was kind of disappointed I didn't get one of the signed ones. congrats though as all N-Gage games are pretty limited and a signed one is even more so. look forward to seeing the picture.

Well, I did in fact order another one, and lo and behold I got another signed copy of Rifts.

Anyone interested in it? PM me.

[esquire]

Anyone looking for some cheap ngage games? Let's Talk just lowered 3 of them down to $0.99

NCAA Football 2004
FIFA Soccer 2004
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004

the remaining games, whatfew they have left in stock, have also been marked down to $9.99 to $14.99.

http://n-gage.letstalk.com/product/listview2column.htm?pgId=161&corpId=&prId=29762

[tom]

just received a Pathway to Glory Preview card. Did all N-Gage games had preview cards? Or just some?
Does anyone know how many are out there (different games)?

See here:

http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/album311/Nokia_Game_PTG_Preview

[Auxilla]

I hope to god Flo Boarding gains no value.I overwrote ove not one but 2 of those cards.

[Trumpman]

In my local Gamestop there was a pile of N-Gage games for $3 each. Would it be worth it to buy any of those, considering that I don't have an N-Gage?

[Trebuken]

I really did not want to spend the money, but the lowered prices on LetsTalk suggest they won't be available much longer and I do not want to spend forever trying to find them. I got the last games I need (11 of them, ouch).

Do we know if any more games are ever going to be released?

Thanks.

[tom]

Yes, that's what i wanna know.
And also, if not, what's the total releases, and which was the last game?

btw, Auxilla, i had two offers on my Flo Boarding, just to tell you yes...the value is definitely up on this one :-)

[classicb]

The last game to be released was Payload but you can only download it. The last game to be released on a card was Warhammer 40,000.

One must wonder though if somewhere in the world Payload got put on cards since it was so close to release when Nokia decided to stop with the card format.

[RockyRaccoon]

I also have a question!

I heard that you can get some 'third party apps' for the N-Gage, I mean, along the lines of 'Emulators'.

Is this true? What Systems are Emulated? How Well do they run?

[fishsandwich]

I know this thread is LONG but all the information you need is buried within.

NES, Master System, Game Gear, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color work great.

I hear the Genesis emulation is pretty good as well.

SNES emulation is sketchy at best but it's possible and some games are fairly playable.

MAME is emulated well for certain games.

GBA emulation was started but I think it has been abandoned.

Here's a list of the emulated consoles. You can find them at

[qbertandernie]

man, id love to have master review copies!

and, though i preordered 'rifts' months before it came out, didnt get a signed copy....

[dbiersdorf]

DAMMIT I broke my N-Gage QD last night... :( I'm such an idiot. Anyone have one for sale that works with Cingular?

[tom]

well, i purchased Payload, d/l the game, input my received code, guess what....
start the game, message comes up...game need registering to prevent code being used for piracy....fair enough, except my N-gage doesn't connect to the internet.

Tried with a current sim card from my cell phone i use... connected, comes up with a different error....cannot register at this moment, try again later...try later, same message...and so forth. so far it only cost me extra money and no result

For now I requested a refund for a non-working game, unless they come up with a workable solution.

[esquire]

Nice score, they are actually versions of the games sent to various journalists and people in the video game industry. These versions are full versions, although some of them have variant artwork on them. I have six of these versions in my set of games, and they even come with mini cd-roms you can put in your computer! Nice score, you got a deal.

I noticed these versions go all the way through the last game released, WarHammer. I now have 7 of these:

X-Men Legends II
High Seize
Asphalt II
Catan
System Rush
Civilization
WarHammer

and I've seen versions for One, Rifts, Mile High Pinball and Pathway to Glory Ikusa Islands. That makes 11 known versions. Plus I am assuming there are probably ones for Atari Masterpieces Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Can anyone confirm this?

The cards themselves are marked "Not for Sale" just like the loose ones pictured in thread. That makes me wonder if the early N-Gage "Not for Sale" versions came in any cases or were they just loose?

The reason I ask is that I am starting to collect these as well (finally completed my US collection plus Sega Rally!!) and wonder what would constitute a "complete" game. Right now I have 13 loose "Not For Sale" versions, including:

Rayman 3
SSX Out of Bounds
Red Faction
NCAA Football
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Jungle Storm
Ashen
FIFA 2004
FIFA 2005
Pathway to Glory
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Glimmerati
System Rush (not sure if this is just a loose Gold Master Review kit card)

I also noticed in this thread users have seen or have "NFS" versions of:

Xanadu Next
Spiderman
Sims Bustin' Out
Pandemonium (not marked "NFS"?)

Are these confirmed? Are their any others?

I did manage to see a "For Display Only" version of Tomb Raider, and won it on ebay. It's on the way from Australia. I'll post a picture of it when I get it. For now, here is the outside case:

http://home.comcast.net/~dmarowske/tombraider.jpg

[qbertandernie]

i have pandemonium. this i think was the first release, and it has no label. i also have spiderman 2, and the sims. someone on these boards had a xanadu next one, but theyre in germany. they made a glimmerati one, so i expect theres a xanadu next one somewhere around. i had a scan of my 13 NFRs, but must have deleted it.

system rush was the first online only game(correct me if im wrong)...so the one you have may be a review copy. the last games available in stores were xanadu next and glimmerati as far as i know.

if anyone has fifa 04 or tony hawk NFR, id be interested. also, any review copies.

[fishsandwich]

system rush was the first online only game(correct me if im wrong)...so the one you have may be a review copy. the last games available in stores were xanadu next and glimmerati as far as i know.

System Rush is available as a physical copy with box and instructions... I got one froms letstalk.com. Warhammer 40,000 and Civilization came out after xanadu and glimmerati.

What was meant was that it was only available thorugh letstalk.com, it wasn't released through any brick and mortar stores. The physical versions of System Rush and all subsequent NGage releases were all only available through the mail.

Oh I see. Whoops! Sorry about that.

[SegaAges]

I know some of you are complete, but how many of you are close to complete?

Me personally, I only need 5 more to be complete:
Civilization
Rifts: Promise of Power
Mile High Pinball
Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands
X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse

These games don't come up anywhere very often, which means I am going to have to get them off of letstalk.

I am unsure if I am going to get payload, since I am going for complete, cart only, and don't feel like messing with downloads. I finally played the virtua cop and alien front beta's, but I don't put those in my collection (since I don't have cases or anything).

As Soon as I complete the collection, I plan on taking pics. I know you guys have probably seen complete n-gage collections before, but I am going to take pics anyway since I haven't completed a collection yet (I am still biting my bottom lip about buying Jack Bros for Virtual Boy).

Also, If my student loan check goes through a little faster, I should be able to get 12 NFR games as well, which would be awesome.

[esquire]

Also, If my student loan check goes through a little faster, I should be able to get 12 NFR games as well, which would be awesome.

Student loan to purchase 12 NFR games? How much are you being charged for them? Hopefully not too much. The reason I say is there is a guy on ebay selling a lot of 15 of these for like $20 BIN, and he has multiple lots of the same games. Here is the link if you are interested:

Nice collection. I like the Pathway to Glory Preview and Flo Boarding. some other hard to get games are Sega Rally (released in Australia?) and Rifts: Promise of Power signed copy (I now have 3, :D ). Usually, the last few retail releases seem to be the most difficult to find - Glimmerati and Xanadu Next are two that come to mind. The releases after that, which were available directly from Nokia Let's Talk, all the way through the last release, WarHammer, are all still pretty much available at their website.

Promos, previews, and kiosk demos can be hard to find. If you ever decide to part with yours, please let us know first! :)

That was the thing I was talking about. I had like $8 in my bank account. I actually got the money, bid on it and won it, which is awesome.

I also got a couple games from letstalk:

Rifts (signed version)
Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands

That means that counting Sega Rally, I have 4 more to go, hurray!

You saw the auction, I don't know much about NFR games, do you think all of these would be full versions?

[coreycorey2000]

Wow thanks for the auction link. It seems I missed out on the Tomb raider Preview. He was selling lots of 15 but by the time I noticed he was selling lots of 14. That is definitely cheap. I've seen people wanting that much for one game.

I was wondering if anyone knows how much a Pocket Kingdoms Beta would be worth? I even have the Tshirt to go with it!

[esquire]

You saw the auction, I don't know much about NFR games, do you think all of these would be full versions?

By full versions do you mean with case and instructions? If so, no they are only the game cards. I am trying to figure out if there ever was anything else included with these early NFS games. So far it appears not.

I am not even sure if Tomb Raider was a NFS version of the game. The Pandemonium, WWE Aftershock and Tomb Raider game cards all look like the retail versions of the game. There is no NFS stamp on them and they have the Nokia hologram sticker on the side, as opposed to the other NFS game cards included which simply have a white bar running on the side where the holo-sticker should be.

Can you post a pic of the Pocket Kingdoms Beta and Tshirt?

[tom]

so if and when you catalogue them, do you use the serial # on the spine of the cover-box or the serial # from the MMC (too small to read atually)?
personally I use the serial from the spine. 92..... 93......

[blue lander]

Does anybody know where you can still buy an n-gage? I remember EBGames used to have them for $99, but now the only places that seem to carry them are online and charge closer to $150

[qbertandernie]

when i started gathering the early release NFR games the clerks at EB and gamestop said the Ngage rep just had a plastic bag full of NFR carts. they never got boxes or manuals, until WWE and (another but i forget which) where the rep just gave out sealed copies of retail releases.

[Trebuken]

You should be able to get one off ebay for less than $800; sometimes much lower....

[coreycorey2000]

I have an extra NGage QD that I'm about to put on ebay on Wednesday. It is brand new so I'm looking for $100. It's cheaper than $150 though. If anyone is interested just let me know.

[Trebuken]

[SegaAges]

Ok, I dont know as much as I want to about NFR N-Gage games. Here is the pic of the auction that I won:


http://i14.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/7c/4c/7293_1.JPG (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140073265974&rd=1&rd=1)

I got these today, and the ones that do not have pictures on the fronts and simply have the words and the version number, are these reviewer copies/betas/etc???

[Trebuken]

Curious that the seller has listed the auction again. Multiple copies?

The seller has listed the exact same auction many times in the last couple of months.

[SegaAges]

I bought from him, and they aren't bad

[tom]

so i downloaded the n-gage torrent (complete releases, 65 games), and they have 3 games:
Barakel (Zelda type game)
Sango (Japanese Zelda type game)
Xyanide (Excellent shooter)

any info on these?
Country specific releases perhaps?

Also, N-Gage forum lists a new game coming: Creatures of the Deep

[Steve W]

I know that Xyanide started out originally for the N-Gage and the developer decided to instead make it work on all Symbian 60 phones, so I'm guessing that the other two titles are both Symbian OS games and not N-Gage specific.

[SegaAges]

Oh yes, collecting for n-gage is exciting.

I just bought x-men 2 and civilization from letstalk for 14.99 a piece.

That means that I only have 1 more game to go, and then I have a complete ntsc n-gage collection (mile high pinball).

if any of u have an extra, complete copy, let me know, because it is the last ntsc game that i need now.

[tom]

.....

[frap]

What happened to the n-gage games on letstalk.com? Just two weeks ago, I was able to go to n-gage.com and buy n-gage games from letstalk.com via an interface that looked like the normal n-gage.com site. They had most of the later released (and some older ones) in stock.

Now, n-gage.com links to letstalk.com and it brings up the letstalk.com homepage with no mention of the n-gage (and the search function doesn't even bring up any n-gage games). Does anyone know what's up?

-frap

[tom]

So the later games are more available in the USA as a download, but here in Europe they come on a MMC card?

Also, anyone know how to keep the light on during gameplay on the original N-Gage?
Some games have this feature built in, but not all. Is there another option?

[SegaAges]

Wow, I should have ordered Mile High Pinball while I had the chance. I e-mailed letstalk to see what they say, but I can't get to anything on letstalk about n-gage either.

If letstalk did get rid of all n-gage products, then i would be willing to pay one of you collectors very well for a new copy of mile high pinball, since there may be a chance that I can't get it from letstalk. If it comes to that, I assure you that it would be worth your while.

[Steve W]

Damn, I wish I would have picked up a few more games from Let's Talk while they had them. But I kept putting it off. Crap.

[GrandAmChandler]

They are back in stock today, all discounted too. It's now or never people! If you can't find them, do a search for each individual title at letstalk.com

[tom]

Well, I got this info from another german buddy, Windowskiller:

Barakel was written for the Spanish release of the QD, and comes/ came bundled with 'the making of Blade' (movie) on one MMC.

The same people also wrote Techwars and Freestyle, to be bundled with other QD releases.

Here's a Spanish deal:
http://www.game.es/ficha/ficha.asp?sku=036030&ati=a2sa11as44s
This MMC features Snakes, Techwars, and Underworld (the whole movie).

The same company also sold a QD/Freestyle edition, but it is sold out (as is the Barakel edition).


As for these, I d/l from a torrent, as they are not on cart (someone claims to have the Virtual Cop cart, but cannot confirm):
Maybe the Chinese game, Sango is on a MMC card, but we are still searching.

Alien Front ..........(full game, cancelled)

[WindowsKiller]

By full versions do you mean with case and instructions? If so, no they are only the game cards. I am trying to figure out if there ever was anything else included with these early NFS games. So far it appears not.
I'm not sure if that applies to the early NFS games as well, but the color bar on the right side of the MMC's label can tell you what should be included along with the MMC:

yellow = Gold Master Review Kit. With case and a mini-DVD. No manual.
orange = Preview copy. Just the MMC and a copy of the press release.
green = Point-of-Sale version (for shops to let people play the game before buying), MMC only

(sorry if that was already posted earlier, I haven't read the whole thread)


I did manage to see a "For Display Only" version of Tomb Raider, and won it on ebay. It's on the way from Australia. I'll post a picture of it when I get it.
Those are empty boxes only. Don't expect to find an MMC inside. ;)

[SegaAges]

So I finished my QD Collection for ntsc games.

It is the very first system that I own all the games for a specific region for. I did have a cool idea of busting out my photo printer to print out case-linings (or whatever they are called) for alien front and virtua cop (seeing as I have 4 extra n-gage games that are still sealed).

And the spanish people get cool stuff with their n-gage. All I got for both of my n-gage's were 32mb mmc cards, but the spanish get underworld on a mmc. that is pretty awesome.

Anybody know where I might be able to get a complete copy of Sega Rally. There used to be someone on eBay selling them all the time, but I missed my chance for it.

I also need another mmc card (one of mine I am using for midi ringtones for my phone). anybody got another cheap mmc card they are willing to part with.

Let me know. I found that I now have a bunch of sealed games that I haven't even played yet for n-gage since I just kept ordering them so fast.

Oh yeah, anybody have pictures of the cover art for alien front and virtua cop or know where I can find them?

[theshizzle3000]

Yeah I would totally snag me a collection, but the only place with N-Gage games would be the ubermonopoly Gamestop/Eb Games and they are like post WW2 Germany with their prices.

Hello N-Gage collectors!

I recently put this N-Gage Games Database (http://www.consolecity.com/games.php/system_id-38/start-0/limit-25/region_array-a%3A0%3A%7B%7D/sort-title.html) together, and I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss any US released titles and also that I didn't miss any non-US exlusive releases.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

That's not a bad price really but shipping is probably a bitch.

This game sucks by the way... I can see why it got a limited release. The N-gage could certainly have handled something similar to the Saturn port (except the horizontal orientation, dammit) but it's even worse that the shite GBA version.

!

[WindowsKiller]

That's not a bad price really but shipping is probably a bitch.
I've got a mint copy for only 8 Euro, though it wasn't sealed (which I didn't care about anyway). I don't know where SegaAges lives, but shipping from Germany isn't that expensive.

Got this on ebay:
nice Asphalt Urban GT promo, with big box, leather gloves, 'not for sale' game, 2004 game catalogue. all text is in German, so i'd say it's a German promo:

http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/album311

[tom]

Also, I am just listing my N-Gage games, reading the serial from the MMC card (with magnifying glasses, would you believe).
I noticed that:

0630723....Virtua Tennis –Sega Professional Tennis-.....Sega
0630723....EA Sports FIFA Football 2004.....Electronic Arts

[WindowsKiller]

0630723....EA Sports FIFA Football 2004.....Electronic Arts

Mine has 0630794. (no magnifying glass used ;))

[tom]

you're right, mine's 0630794 too, i shouldn't do this listing stuff at 1:00 AM in the morning, screws up your brain.....

[tom]

Anyone keeping track of the Game catalogues yet?
I got UK N-Gage Games catalogue 1/2003, and German N-Gage Spiele 9/2004.

Does anyone already have a complete set of either USA, UK, D, F catalogues?
And how many were there in a year, or over the whole period?

[WindowsKiller]

Anyone keeping track of the Game catalogues yet?
I've got the German one from 1/2003, which came with my N-Gage. I think the one from 9/2004 came with the QD. Would make two catalogues per region.

[ubersaurus]

Does anyone know how to pop off the front protective screen on the QD? It's gotten awfully dusty under mine.

[Steve W]

There should be a way to replace the cover. I know that when the QD came out, there were a bunch of different colored replacement faceplates you could get. I wish I had picked up some when they were still out (which didn't seem like all that long). I loaned my QD to my brother after he broke his phone, and he scratched the plastic over the screen up.

[kattkatt]

Is it possible for non-US customers to buy from Letstalk?

Anyone from US who can do a fellow collector from Sweden a favour and buy some if it's not possible?

Please...

/C

[slapdash]

Does anyone know how to pop off the front protective screen on the QD? It's gotten awfully dusty under mine.

Actually, I'm still wondering where to get the plastic protectors. I assume they just peel off, and I thought I'd heard there were other phones that used the same ones, but... Anyone know a good source?

[SegaAges]

anybody know where I can find that cover art?

I am actually at this point unsure if I am going to start going for international games as well, since now that I have started this, I want to be complete, and would have to find stuff like the underworld mmc and such.

[roushimsx]

Dangit, I missed out on High Seize when it was cheap and now I can't find it anywhere. Just ordered a buncha titles I've been wanted to get while I can still get 'em though (Warhammer, Ikusa Islands, etc), but it'll always sting me a little (down in the groin) that I didn't pick up High Seize.

Oh well, time to watch ebay and hope one pops up.

[tom]

i put up my N-Gage downloads in my RoD, since I transferred them onto MMC.

Payload:
I ordered this from the Nokia website, paid in full, received my serial#, but when entering the serial#, you still gotta go online with your N-Gage to have a security check done (I don't go online with my N-Gage, so I cannot play the game. Guess I gotta do it one day to do the security check so I can finally play the whole game)

Barakel, The fallen Angel:
D/l from torrent, full Spanish version, including the video of 'Blade, the making of...'

SanGo:
China N-Gage title, from DiGiRED, could be just a Symbian game?

[WindowsKiller]

Just got one of those promo N-Gage MP3 players that were given away at the E3 2006. Allegedly, only 7 of them are supposed to exist, which I can't quite believe. Anyway, does anyone know what they are worth? Are they really that rare?

[WindowsKiller]

Here are two photos so that you know what I'm actually talking about:

---

Sorry for the bad quality of the photos, but that thing is made out of brushed aluminium and therefore not easy to photograph. Especially with my old'n'crappy digicam, which isn't able to make any usable photos without having the flash enabled.

//edit:

Photos removed, see below for a link to better ones.

[tom]

Probably more, if they were a give away at the E3, but wow, I want one.

(11 more N-gage games needed for complete collection)

[WindowsKiller]

Probably more, if they were a give away at the E3
Well, a give-away for journalists only. It's not only an mp3 player. Among other features, it's also a usb memory stick and is filled with about 250 MB of assets from games that were shown at the E3 2006. Even from those that didn't see a release in the end.

[WindowsKiller]

I've updated my Room of Doom Gallery with new and better pics of the mp3 player, enjoy:

http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/album438

[tom]

nice mp3 player, with box too. so that's another item to look out for.

do you have any info yet on the SanGo game?

also, are these Sega protos (Virtua Cop, Alien Storm) somewhere?

[WindowsKiller]

do you have any info yet on the SanGo game?
Seems like it was only ever available via download (just like Payload), runs on all S60 phones and does not exist in any other language than Chinese.


also, are these Sega protos (Virtua Cop, Alien Storm) somewhere?
They exist, among some others. But it's more likely to win in lottery than finding a copy of those. LOL

[tom]

I just won Civilization on ebay, Euro 22.50.
My most expensive N-Gage title yet, even my Asphalt Demo box was cheaper.
Glad I got it though, 9 titles left for completion:

Looks like Atari Masterpieces II will be the most difficult to find, I haven't seen it on ebay once yet.
NCAA is second difficult.
Puyo Pop and One are also very seldom on ebay.
Mile High pinball, Rayman3, Requiem of Hell, System Rush, TCSC: Chaos are on ebay right now, so no problem there.

and thats it then.

[WindowsKiller]

I think Glimmerati is the hardest one to find. At least for me, as I only collect sealed German releases (I want to have all games from the same Region). I've got the German release but not sealed.

Apart from that, only about 20 games missing currently before my collection of sealed games is complete. :)

[tom]

How many German releases where there? Same as UK? Or less?

I have to say most of my N-Gage titles arrived sealed, but I always open them. Don't see a point of keeping games sealed, how you gonna read the instruction book?

[WindowsKiller]

All games were released in Germany, apart from NCAA and Sega Rally.

I normally don't care about sealed games as well. I try to get games sealed if possible but always open them. However, the N-Gage is one of the few systems where you don't need any special equipment to play backups, and sealed games are widely available and don't cost more than used games. So I rather get the games sealed and use backups to play.

ps: I never read the instructions of games. ;)

[atari_overlord]

Hello Official NGAGE collectors thread.... I know this is not the right place to post this question but I figured it would be the best place. I recently acquired an ngage QD and a ton of games from a friend of a friend. Two of those games included were the NOT FOR RESALE generic labels with the versions on them. I am going to resell this lot on ebay as I was not a huge fan of the system or games. Are these "Not for Resale" Games something sought after by the ngage community or should I just toss them in my ebay lot so some random can get them. By the way the games are Rayman 3 and Red Faction.
What does the mighty thread think?

[WindowsKiller]

Hard to say, as there are a lot of different "Not for Sale" versions. Most important is the color code of the label. If it's green, then it's a Point-of-Sale demo, which is actually identical to the retail version. Those aren't that special. Yellow means Gold Master, not worth much if it's the MMC only with the Review Kit missing. Orange ones are probably worth most, as these are preview versions and most of them are betas.

Mine are the Yellow with no review kit. Thanks for the info. I guess I will just toss them in with the rest of the ebay lot.

Hello. Can you please tell me where the color coding is on the game. I dont see anything on the MMC cards I have. I have 6 NFS cards but dont see any color coding.

[tom]

My Asphalt Urban GT Promo box has a white label.

My Pathway to Glory Preview is also white.

Hello. Can you please tell me where the color coding is on the game. I dont see anything on the MMC cards I have. I have 6 NFS cards but dont see any color coding.

The color code applies to MMCs with generic labels only (black text on white background, color bar on the right). All MMCs with retail-like labels and "Not for Sale" written on them are Point-of-Sale versions.

[Vinnysdad]

Ok thanks. I know they arent really worth anything but I always wondered about that color coding deal.

[SegaAges]

Yeah, I got a bunch of them from a eBay auction (and the person is still selling them).

I got the color thing somewhere saying what all the colors are. There is yellow, orange and green. There may be one more, but I can't remember off of teh top of my head.

[esquire]

They are basically where the Nokia silver hologram sticker/seal of authenticity should be, just like on your retail releases.

[tom]

two new N-Gage games for d/l.

Hinterwars:

Creatures of the Deep:
http://forums.arena.n-gage.com/nokia/board?board.id=creaturesofthedeep

[WindowsKiller]

HinterWars is available for quite a while now. I've downloaded it from the developer's website back in December 2006, but I can't even try it, as I can't go online with my N-Gage.

As for Creatures of the Deep, I don't see any downloads for this one. :eek 2: Always wondered why this game takes so long to get finished...

[tom]

Yes, annoying that, I don't go online with my N-Gage.

I purchased Payroll for Euro 9.99. They send me the code. I put in the code and a message comes up saying: as an anti-piracy measure you now gotta go online with the N-Gage and register, only then you can play the game.

So I paid full price for a game I cannot play, as they don't provide an easier method to register even if you have your code (which basically should be enough). I complained, I even instructed my CC company to get my money back. They couldn't get it back, as the Payroll people say I got my code alright.

So to all people who don't go online with the N-Gage: Don't buy Payroll, it won't work.
Go to the torrent and d/l the full version instead.

[WindowsKiller]

Hehe, I guess you mean Payload. ;)

Just got this:
http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/album438/Taito_Memories

Anyone knows if the game leaked to the internet so far? I know there was at least one playable prototype at E3 2003 (or maybe 2004?).

[tom]

yeah, Payload, fucking game gets me all annoyed.

Nice Taito, box only?

[WindowsKiller]

Nice Taito, box only?
Yes, box only.

[tom]

Just great, so there's even more to find for the N-Gage, I wonder if anyone's compiling a list of all games, protos, demos, games with CDs included, empty promo boxes, d/ls and whatever.

[WindowsKiller]

I wonder if anyone's compiling a list of all games, protos, demos, games with CDs included, empty promo boxes, d/ls and whatever.
A bit too much work I guess. And no one probably knows how many items to collect are out there anyway.

[tom]

gotta be done though for the next DP Advance guide.
Guess I better get on it

[SegaAges]

Yeah, cuz I only know stuff about ntsc and not much about stuff that was released in other countries besides US.

here's a little High Seize treat:

I think you should really remove the photos of the downloaded/copied stuff from your gallery. It destroys the image of a serious collector. (and that stuff isn't worth anything anyway)

Hi,
funny you should mention that. Just earlier I changed it around, and I only keep my Payload and Snakes d/l in my gallery, as they are official. Gonna do the same with HinterWars and Creatures (if that game ever happens).

As for having downloaded stuff in my gallery, or being taken serious. Those are not things I worry about, that's other peoples problems.

[tom]

almost finished N-Gage, 1 game arriving in the mail (Rayman 3), one more title to find (One).

How many games had little posters included? I got those with mine:

The Sims bustin out
X-Men
X-Men 2
Call of Duty
Pathway to Glory
Rifts
Xanadu Next
Shadow Key
The Roots
Pocket Kingdom
Worms
WWE
Operation Shadow
Glimmerati
High Seize
PtG: Ikusa Islands
Warhammer 40000

Any others?

[RugalSizzler]

The thing is you can downlaod the games on to a special kart and even phones that are not N-gages. You can use regular Nokia phones to play the games.

It is just a supped up cell phone using a diffrent system to run the games. The problem is not the games it is the target audience.

Personally I don't even have a celluar phone at all.

I garentee there is other people that will say the same thing avbout celluar phones.

SERIOUSLY will you please shut up? Once again you have no idea what you are talking about. The only good thing about your posts is that the spelling and grammar are so horrible that many people have no idea what the hell you are saying. If you talk like you write then I'm super-glad you don't have a cell phone.

STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION

<Anyone who thinks this is too harsh should check RugalSizzler's posts. Any of them. Complete idiot.>

[RugalSizzler]

I do know what I am talking about. I have played N-gage before and have been looking for a model to suit my needs but at the same time I have been looking for an alternative to N-gage that can play N-gage as well.

I have seen many models of phones that can do the N-gage work. Also I am familiar with Nokia's campiange.

Nokia is even doing what I said at this moment. Creating other phones that can run N-gage games as well as other celluar phone games.

Also hey I am super happy that I am not getting radiation posion from a cheap version of the two way Radio. Cell phones edmits Hi frequency noise since especially in groups and has a small amount of radiation edmitting from them.
Thank god for Jammers:popcorn:

[Jorpho]

Um, while there is no questioning the atrocity of this grammar, and while I am highly skeptical about any notion of cell phones frying people's brains, this is not the first I have heard of other cell phones being able to run N-Gage games.

Back when the N-Gage still had an iota of relevance, I recall Nokia was quite upset when someone cracked the encryption intended to prevent this from happening. I also recall reading that the other cell phones available at the time were not actually fast enough to run the N-Gage games at full speed. Not that I'm terribly familiar with the rest of the details.

[Friend of Sonic]

Hi all. I'm new to the forums, and was happy to see a thread of people talking about N-Gage collecting. Sorry to bump up such an old thread, but I'd figure this would be the best place to babble. I'm six games away (If I'm understanding that there indeed was a MMC release of Snakes) from having the entire collection, and then I got to reading about the MMCs that came with the N-Gage QD in Mexico! Oh boy, now I'm going to try to find those.

While surfing on Ebay.es I noticed a listing for a QD that came with a MMC of Million Dollar Baby, and then two games of Freestyle and Pool Friction. I didn't see those on the list, did anyone know about those?

And any tips on scoring Flo Boarding (I don't think I've ever seen that on the American Ebay, and I tried on Ebay.co.uk) and some of the tougher US releases? I lost an Ebay auction of a review copy of System Rush (it was real neat, even had a free Soundtrack CD) but I put in what I was willing to pay in the last ten seconds, 52.00 USD, and someone else's max bid was higher. I'm curious how high they bid. That's the only copy of System Rush I've seen in a while, and I'm still missing High Seize.

[WindowsKiller]

And any tips on scoring Flo Boarding (I don't think I've ever seen that on the American Ebay, and I tried on Ebay.co.uk)

I still have a second copy for sale. Contact me if you're interested.

Freestyle and Pool Friction are ordinary S60 games, btw. Those bundles were sold in Spain, not in Mexico.

First off, welcome to the boards.

2nd off, it depends on when you bid on that, because chances are, it was me that outbid you, since I won that from eBay.

I currently own a full american release n-gage collection.

If you are going for a full release collection, there are a couple non us releases to look out for.

I know that underworld was packaged on a mmc in the spanish version (i believe it was the spanish versions, as in from Spain).

The other non us release I can think of off of the top of my head that got a full n-gage case and everything was sega rally.

Also, if you are looking for variants, as far as I know (I could be wrong), but there are variants of virtua tennis and also rifts: prmise to power.

Virtua tennis had a version (most common version) where the spine of the case was all white. There was also a release where the spine said virtua tennis.

There are also 2 versions of rifts: promise to power. There is a version that is autographed (I don't even remember who autographed it) and a version without a signature on it.

Also, for some strange reason, one of the toughest games for me to obtain was splinter cell: team stealth action. I have no clue why it was so tough to get, but get that if you have not already, because that one sucks to find.

The nice thing about n-gage collecting, is that if you are going for a full american release, while many games are not tough to fine, it is very rare to pay more than $20 for a game (and those are the later released games).

Since you are still on the hunt for games, some of the later releases may cause you come trouble. Catan, System Rush, High Seize, Mile High Pinball (I love that name), just to name a few.

Also, you picked a good name for your handle, I love it.

[Friend of Sonic]

I still have a second copy for sale. Contact me if you're interested.

Freestyle and Pool Friction are ordinary S60 games, btw. Those bundles were sold in Spain, not in Mexico.
Aha, I see, I see. PMed about Flo Boarding-- huge sigh of relief from me! So, technically those games aren't N-Gage games... I won't worry too much then. I imagine the logistics of obtaining that cart from Spain wouldn't be too fun.

So, excluding the MMC movie and game bundles, I only need:
Crash Nitro Kart
Flo Boarding (Germany and UK only)
High Seize
Requiem of Hell
Snakes (Was there an official MMC release of this? I read there is, but as far as I knew it was just a download.)
System Rush
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Team Stealth Action

And I'll be all done. I'm not too worried about most of them, except for High Seize and System Rush. I definitely need to check into the torrents for the unreleased games. I was a huge Alient Front Online nut and I wanna see how they did with it on the N-Gage.

Yeah, I actually snagged a copy of Sega Rally off of Ebay today. An Aussie has been selling for the last month and I just neglected to notice. It came out to 11.00 shipped, for a sealed N-Gage import. Not bad at all, although I hear the game is complete shit.

I'm not too worried about variants. If I see the normal spined version of Virtua Tennis, I'll pick it up. It's a common game, and I doubt most people would realize their VT with the normal spine is hard to come by. I'll agree with that statement about the cheapness of N-Gage collecting-- when I first started, I got 35 games, all complete and mint, with a mint QD and box for 60 dollars. Can't beat that. Then I believe LetsTalk.com had an awesome N-Gage sale and I picked up almost all of the later releases on the cheap. Then I went dormant for a year until I looked at my collection and said, "Holy crap, I'm that close!" So, now I gotta finish it. I'm going to be a bit depressed I left behind my first love of completionist collecting: Dreamcast. I've been dragging my feet for the last two years on finishing the North American releases. I'm only 15 titles away.


Also, you picked a good name for your handle, I love it.
Thanks! It's my handle everywhere on the net. If you see it anywhere else, it's me.

[WindowsKiller]

So, excluding the MMC movie and game bundles, I only need:

Flo Boarding (Germany and UK only)


Well, Flo Boarding was part of a bundle as well. Thought you know that. Another N-Gage game only available as a bundle in Spain was Barakel. That was, unlike Freestyle and Pool Friction, not just an ordinary S60 game.

As for Snakes, this was never sold. It was given away by Nokia at various fairs. Very hard to find these days.

[Friend of Sonic]

Oh, I thought Flo Boarding was it's only little release (not full on retail), seperate from QD. Wikipedia can't be trusted, X_X

awesome - the ngage thread is active again :)

Is it still possible to play Pocket Kingdom online? My copy is sealed and if it can't be played online, I don't want to crack the seal.

[WindowsKiller]

The old N-Gage Arena does no longer exist, so probably not.

[Gabriel]

There are also 2 versions of rifts: promise to power. There is a version that is autographed (I don't even remember who autographed it) and a version without a signature on it.


The autograph is by Kevin Siembieda. He's the guy who owns Palladiumbooks, the company which makes the pen and paper Rifts RPG which the N-gage game is based on.

Ironically, I'd say if non-autographed copies exist, they are exponentially rarer than the autographed copies.

[Steve W]

I just wanted to say that it makes me happy that a portable that everybody and their brother used to slam at every opportunity has a thread on this forum that's 28 pages long. Nice!

Since my last post in this thread, I picked up a signed and sealed Rifts and a copy of Bomberman, putting me at around 42 games. Too bad my N-Gage QD won't start up anymore, even with a replacement battery.

[roushimsx]

I still don't have High Seize and that makes me sad. :(

...I also wish I could find a second copy of Glory in Death.

[Friend of Sonic]

Makes me sad as well. No idea how I'll ever find High Seize. Just gotta watch Ebay like a hawk I guess.

Is it really that rare these days? Makes me glad that I have a sealed copy as well as the Gold Master Press Kit.

[roushimsx]

Makes me sad as well. No idea how I'll ever find High Seize. Just gotta watch Ebay like a hawk I guess.

I got sniped out of a bundle last year-ish that had High Seize and a couple of other games for a little over $50. A day later a copy of High Seize sold on its own for over $50 (sniped on that one, too).

Next time I see a copy on eBay, I'm taking a vacation day for when the auction ends just to make sure I can nab it :(

I am glad I purchased a 'full' version of Payload before the website went down.

Also, here on the forum someone showed off a sealed box of Space Impact, this thread was going on for numerous pages....'oh shall I open the box or not'? Nothing came of it though. Try a search here and you'll find it.

Isn't it time N-Gage gonna be moved into the Classic forum. I'd say so.

Also, please point me in the direction of those sega rally auctions. Even though it is not US, I still want to own it, but eBay apparently hates me and does not let me search for rare stuff.

Yeah, someone should do a high-quality scan of the inlay. There are only some very low quality scans available.

Whoa. I must have been typing in the wrong thing, because I couldnt find those at all

[Friend of Sonic]

Whew, glad I got in on the Sega Rally. They were just sitting there for a few days unsold, too.

Drool@Space Impact for N-Gage. What an awesome find, if that is indeed yours Windows.

[esquire]

Is it really that rare these days? Makes me glad that I have a sealed copy as well as the Gold Master Press Kit.

Speaking of which, does anybody know how many Gold Master Press Kits were made? I have 11 of these and they all seem like they were for the later releases:

Asphalt 2
Catan
Civilization
High Seize
Mile High Pinball
One
Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands
Rifts
System Rush
Warhammer 40K: Glory in Death
X-Men Legends II

Were ones made for Atari Masterpeice Vol 1 or Vol. 2?

Also, does anyone have a running list of the loose card only "Not for Sale" versions? I have the following:

Ashen
Asphalt 2
FIFA 2004
FIFA 2005
Glimmerati
High Seize (marked "E3 Demo")
NCAA Football 2004
Pathway to Glory
Rayman 3
Red Faction
Rifts
SSX Out of Bounds
System Rush
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Additionally I have a boxed display version from Australia for Tomb Raider marked "Display Not for Sale" and a boxed preview version from the UK for Pathway to Glory. I know there were promo versions of this game as well that came with dog tags. Anything else out there like that?

What is the story with Space Impact? How many copies were supposedly made?

[tom]

I not too much a promo hunter, but I have Asphalt German 'Nicht fuer den Verkauf', 'Not for sale' big box and racing gloves:

and also the Pathway to Glory Preview, only in plastic case:
http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=192219&g2_serialNumber=2

There's also the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory with a lantern (courtesy of Pocket, France):

Pretty much the same I have, too. Never seen one that is pre-2005.


Also, does anyone have a running list of the loose card only "Not for Sale" versions?

POS cards (artwork on the card with "Not For Sale" written over it) do exist for all games, though the very early ones have no label at all. Tomb Raider, Pandemonium, Tony Hawks, for example.

There are also other cards with green (POS, too), yellow (gold master), and orange (beta) stripes and no artwork. Those should exist for most games as well.

Yes, but I don't want to make you envious. :D That reminds me that I REALLY need to update my Room of Doom.

[Friend of Sonic]

The guy I bought my Sega Rally just posted a bunch more... but he's raised the price a bit. Now it's aproximately just under 15 USD shipped instead of the 11.50 USD shipped that I paid last week. Still a good price if you're looking for it, I'd think it'd be justified to get it for 15 considering it's AU only.

It also had a limited release in some Asian countries.

Thanks for the link... I bought another one for the hell of it.

[Friend of Sonic]

Oh, I didn't know that. I wonder if the asian version is rare (or at least harder to come by)

[WindowsKiller]

There's no difference between the two. There was only one production run.

[Friend of Sonic]

There's no difference between the two. There was only one production run.

Was it just the Aussie version being sold in Asian areas then? No differences in the cover art or anything?

[WindowsKiller]

Not that I know of. No changes would have been required anyway.

[gamemaster]

Was the sealed copy of space impact a legit copy? What did it all come with?
Thanks

[WindowsKiller]

Was the sealed copy of space impact a legit copy?
It wasn't released by Nokia, if you mean that. I don't know more than that, unfortunately.

[swlovinist]

Is Space Impact an unrealeaed game? I see the NTSC rating. Was it a limited US release? Where did you score that? Congrats

[slapdash]

I think it's officially unreleased in the US, but Nokia decided to go download only basically the same day as, or maybe a day or two before, a couple games were released. Seems like Space Impact was partly manufactured before they made the decision final, hence a few "real deals" escaped.

[WindowsKiller]

Seems like Space Impact was partly manufactured before they made the decision final, hence a few "real deals" escaped.

No, it wasn't. It's NOT from Nokia at all. It was released by some third party, but I don't know the story behind it.

[Bojay1997]

No, it wasn't. It's NOT from Nokia at all. It was released by some third party, but I don't know the story behind it.

What are you basing this on? I know for a fact that Nokia gave copies of this game to some of their marketing reps because that's where I got mine from. It was also included as a free game on the CD-Rom that came with the first release of the N-gage in certain European markets as I have exchanged e-mails with a few collectors who have that version. If it's not from Nokia, where could it be from?

[WindowsKiller]

What are you basing this on?

The seal, which says "Topan" instead of "Nokia". Why do you ask if you claim to have a copy of it? (no offense meant, but the question sounded a bit odd) There were of course ordinary beta/pre-release MMCs given out to reps, just like of every other game. But I'm talking about this boxed version of Space Impact, not some loose MMCs.


It was also included as a free game on the CD-Rom
Nope, that's not correct either. You're confusing different games here. The game on the CD-ROM was Space Impact Evolution, which was a freeware title and which is not the same as Space Impact.

[tom]

Ah, but is the free CD game the same as the mmc version, as the CD version is called Space Impact Revolution X:
http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=192178&g2_serialNumber=2

[WindowsKiller]

Different game.

[tom]

I knew it

but basically my complete Nokia N-Gage collection is not complete now, as I need to hunt out this Space Impact mmc.

[SegaAges]

So yeah, how about them high rez scans of virtua cop and alien front online?

anybody. Hook it up.
(mods, I am only talking scans of covers and that is all dudes)

[c0ldb33r]

I've got Alient Front Online - I'll scan it sometime this week and post it for you. If I don't post it in a few days PM me to remind me :)

[SegaAges]

Rock on bro.

Now I just need to find a virtua cop one, hehehe

Oh yeah, and to the person that posted thet sega rally for like 9.99 aussie, thanks, item ordered.

I said all ntsc, but i lied. I just am too lazy to try and collect all the crazy rare stuff, hehehe, bur I did manage to get all, I guess you could call them normal mmc releases (i.e. stuff that you could go out and buy in a store)

Well, I'm not sure which seal you are talking about. Mine is in the same box as yours, but it's sealed in Y Fold wrap. There is no hologram sealing sticker like regular retail N-gage games if that's what you mean. I've never seen a loose copy of Space Impact on a beta/pre-release MMC and like I said, the guy I got mine from was assigned to the Western US and he had several sealed copies at the time I got mine. I doubt Nokia would have sent him pirated stuff. Topan is a packaging company in China by the way which handles packaging for small electronics firms, as well as packaged food items. Perhaps your copy was a packaging test sample or something along those lines.

[tom]

i dont care either way, food items or not, i need that Space Impact......

[rodarkone]

So for a regular collector - I have 2 questions:

1. how many titles are released OFFICIALY (except downloadable games ... I don't realy count this ones)
2. how many titles are released in TOTAL - i mean including prototypes.

Does an official list exists ? (or some website where are explained the diferenced between games)

In the past there was a list on n-gage arena site - but now - the site is "updated" with Ngage 2.0 .. and .. it suks :D

So please if u have the answers ...

PS: my collection in images

10x a lot Tom ... I saw that u have a fullset and I was hoping to get a reply from you.

[LATER EDIT]

i only can attach 10 images (the 11th .. and news - just received today)

[tom]

you're welcome (and excellent deal on System Rush with CD, not that easy to find)

[rodarkone]

Actualy it's available on ebay (uk seller) for 4-5 pound sterling. (and it's a sealed press kit - the seller have like 10 copyes) - even I was surprized when I get it (along with other 10 games)

Also SonicN it's Not for Resale display only (box).

[WindowsKiller]

2. how many titles are released in TOTAL - i mean including prototypes.

Well, prototypes of unreleased games exist for:

Alien Front
Virtua Cop
Taito Memories

There are most likely othes, but the existence of those in the form of MMC cards is proven.

Prototypes of released games exist as well.

[gamemaster]

Have you seen tatio memories yourself?

[WindowsKiller]

Better, I own the E3 demo card. ;) And the display case, too.

[gamemaster]

Got a picture of it somewhere?

[WindowsKiller]

Not anymore. Had one at my Room of Doom, but I removed my galleries there because of the slowness of it and all the random errors that you get when trying to add/delete/modify something... The gallery wasn't up to date anyway.

It may come back someday using JAlbum on my own server.

[rodarkone]

I don't realy chase the proto's ... if they come in my way I will buy them - if not - i'm not in "pain" - I realy want just an oficial (memory card based) collection, I just love the small boxes of the games and the artwork from the covers/manual -

later edit: ... 21 more to go.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Ag9wZEpOcpA/SazVryGtulI/AAAAAAAACQw/glj7_z2g_bE/s640/DSCF0846_.JPG

[rodarkone]

This games are most dificult to find:

0710216...Atari Masterpieces Vol. I
0710226...Atari Masterpieces Vol. II
0710208...Civilization
0710206...High Seize
0710224...Warhammer 40,000

The rest I already ordered ...

[gamemaster]

Can you tell me what is all on the mmc card, is there a sticker on it just like the other prototype mmc cards like virtua cop, and how complete is the game???
Thanks

[Ed Oscuro]

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Ag9wZEpOcpA/SazVryGtulI/AAAAAAAACQw/glj7_z2g_bE/s640/DSCF0846_.JPG
Somebody just popped an Atomic Fireball in that guy's mouth.

I admit I'm a sucker for Tom Clancy games, no matter how poor their resolution. Still hoping that NGage prices fall enough that I can get Ashen and some other games on the cheap.

That demo unit rodarkone has looks interesting. With a proper Sim card it might work as a regular NGage, don't you think?

And is that a soundtrack CD for System Rush?

[rodarkone]

1. no the demo units don't work as a regular phone - it must be resofted with a proper firmware first and this operation is almost imposible nowdays

2. yes - it's the system rush soundtrack (i said it before - i bough it from ebay.co.uk with a SMALL SMALL price - like 5 pounds - the game is branded review kit)
