N-Gage collectors thread

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


So, the fact I own three of those means I'm doing pretty good, eh? :D

I've never even opened High Seize and Warhammer.

As an N-Gage owner and former collector/enthusiast (it was my first cell phone! :P), reading through this thread a bit was interesting; particularly because at one time I, too, was trying my best to collect all the games as they were being released, along with the prototype/demo MMCs that were distributed to stores. What disheartened me in the end was the fact that so many games were being cancelled here in the USA. That, bundled with the fact that the N-Gage didn't have a camera and had to be held up to my ear like a taco made me eventually "replace" it with the 3650, followed by the 3230, followed by the N95...

Even so, I've still got a fond spot for it in my memories. When we went to France toward the end of 2007 to unveil the third production run of Beggar Prince (http://www.beggarprince.com/), my trusty ol' N-Gage made the trip with me so as to showcase our then in-progress game Super Fighter Block Battle (http://www.sfblockbattle.com/). (You can see photos from the event here (http://www.superfighterteam.com/events/rgc2007.htm); the N-Gage can be seen in the third photo down, setting next to my Atari Lynx.)

Whomever among you are still collecting for the N-Gage, you're preserving history that's widely overlooked. That's cool, so keep doing it. :)

[tom]

Hey I'm still playing that game, I'm getting pretty good at it :-)

BTW, looking forward to Zaku

Yep you are :)

Recently some vietnamese people showed up at the german handheld board portablegaming.de and posted some interesting things. There seams to be an active n-gage scene in Vietnam with their own board here:
http://www.gsm.vn/forum/main/forumdisplay.php?f=402

They buy the N-Gage cheap on Ebay and then mod it. Some of their creations are in this thread:
http://www.gsm.vn/forum/main/showthread.php?t=91134

There was even a meetup in Hanoi:
http://handheldblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/img-5696.jpg

So - the N-Gage isn't dead yet :)

[WindowsKiller]

That demo unit rodarkone has looks interesting. With a proper Sim card it might work as a regular NGage, don't you think?
Owning one of those too, I can tell you that they don't. They have different hardware as well. And trying to flash them with a retail unit's firmware will brick them.

[SegaAges]

Hey ColdB33r, you ever have a chance to scan those bro?

I think it would be cool to have cases for alien front and virtua cop. A little bit of google searching and I have found the front of the cover, but not the spine or back, and I suck with phoitoshop too much to make it look nice.

[c0ldb33r]

Sorry, I screwed up. I don't have it. In my head I screwed up - it was the Dreamcast version I was thinking of. I probably downloaded the Alient Front onto an MMC at some point in the past.

[SegaAges]

It's all good. I just suck at photoshop, or else I would make one myself that had a back and spine. Oh well.

[tom]

Maybe there's some Photoshop whizzkid around here who would like to?


Anyone here ever signed on to play HinterWars? It looks like it's still going.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I can't believe i've neglected this thread for so long since my last posting! I used to post on the old N-Gage Arena boards though until they closed down to make way for the new Arena boards which require you to be a 2nd generation N-Gager and have an Arena password etc.

I can't believe the things we used to talk about in this thread when it started! Wow, nearly four years later and we're still here talking about collecting for the N-Gage! Amazing!

I'm currently missing just six titles:
Asphalt: Urban GT II
Civilization
Mile High Pinball
NCAA Football 2004 (Unreleased in the UK?)
Rifts: Promise Of Power
Warhammer 40,000: Glory In Death

I would ultimately like to have the entire UK set sealed, which would mean I would need to replace six more:
Ashen
Fifa 2004
Pandemonium
Puyo Pop
Tomb Raider
Virtua Tennis

I have also rediscovered my Flo Boarding cart, plus my Gold Master Review Kit of System Rush, so that's a bonus!

Here are a few pics of my collection (Circa September 2007):

The entire collection (Minus Flo Boarding)


EDIT: I recently sold four of the unsealed duplicates (For a pittance), but still have sealed duplicates of Glimmerati and Elder Scrolls Shadowkey if anyone is interested in a trade?

[rodarkone]

Nice collection.

I don't keep the games sealed - I just want to play the games (almost all my games came in sealed form - I unseal the games imediatly)

Where did u get the Atari I and II ?

[WindowsKiller]

How glad I am that I finished my sealed collection of N-Gage games long ago. Some were very hard to find, let alone sealed.

[tom]

mine were 99% sealed, and I opened them all (no point in sealed games).

btw Allack.co.uk still has a big collection of n-gage games for sale

.

[WindowsKiller]

mine were 99% sealed, and I opened them all (no point in sealed games).
I generally agree, but not in the case of N-Gage. The games are so cheap that it doesn't make much difference whether you buy them used or sealed, so why not buy them sealed, especially if you're a collector? And for playing, I have a Not-for-Sale MMC for almost every game. :)

[tom]

that is true actually, it's just in the past USA (and Europe) collectors threw everything away, boxes, instructions, etc for VCS, NES, SNES.
and now they are like....oh no i want this SNES game sealed, and I'm gonna pay $1000 for it....WHAT???? Cracks me up everytime

Also, the whole N-Gage is available on torrent, burn it on CD, and bingo, keep your N-Gage collection sealed

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Where did u get the Atari I and II ?

It's been so long I can't remember, but the majority of my games have come from eBay sellers, back when they were a little more common. Of course, specific games like these weren't as common, but as nobody was colleccting them at the time, it didn't matter as they were as cheap as any other! Lol.

A shame that i'm still chasing those last few elusive titles, one which I believe wasn't released in the UK (NCAA Football) and the others are pretty much the last handful of games released which could only be ordered online.

Allack.co.uk allegedly have both of these games, but there's no way of telling whether or not they are actually in stock...



Also, the whole N-Gage is available on torrent, burn it on CD, and bingo, keep your N-Gage collection sealed

Exactly, and it's the same for DS games too!


I previously held an order at Allack for five of these games I needed for six months, but the games I ordered never showed up back in stock, so I asked for a refund in the end. I see they have Mile High Pinball, Civilization, Asphalt Urban GT II, Warhammer 40,000, and Rifts advertised with 'Availability: Usually dispatched within 2 to 3 days', but there's no way to tell how accurate this information is, and whether they actually do have it in stock - Bearing in mind that this is a website that still has Virtua Cop, Alien Front, and Taito Memories listed as 'Not yet released' on their system available for pre-order! Lol

I don't mind paying their prices for these last few games provided they have what I want - Has anyone actually ordered any of these titles recently? Can anyone confirm that they do actually have stock of these items? I've just eMailed them to ask, so i'll post the reply if and when I receive one

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Received an eMail from Allack, which basically stated that the only N-Gage games they had left were the early ones like Sonic etc...

It would be nice if they could update their website to reflect this information

[rodarkone]

news from me

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Ag9wZEpOcpA/Sb_pTdGNMhI/AAAAAAAACTs/9IWyyMkAiYU/s640/DSCF0893_.JPG

Unfortunatly the Asphalt Urban GT 2 is Asphalt Urban GT (manual + mmc inside) - i have issued a dispute with the seller who argues that he send me the good game -> here is the seller TO AVOID !!!! (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300297420713&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123)

later edit:

The King of Fighters Extreme

Game I will order - when I find a good price :)
-> Sega Rally Championship

[roushimsx]

God, I want High Seize so bad I can taste it. Can't wait to get a nice copy in...scan the artwork at a super high resolution and finally play the damn game + snap a lot of screenshots.

What's a good SD MMC to pick up for the N-Gage? I've been wanting to play around with loading stuff onto just a normal SD MMC so that I can have more room for snapping screenshots (instead of just a very small handful per session), but the ones I own (and the micro SD -> normal SD adapters) are all too large to fit in my QD :(

There seems to be a serious lack of n-gage screenshots out there and it might be fun filling up the galleries at places like GiantBomb and such with fresh/original shots to these overlooked games.

On that topic, is it possible to record video at all on stock units or is special hardware required?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Just out of curiosity, are there any emulator's out there for the PC which emulate the N-Gage? Would such a thing be difficult to create? Has anyone ever tried (Ie, are there any which are work in progress)?

It would be nice if someone were to ccome up with such an emulator so that it were easy to record video's and take screenshots of the games in action

[roushimsx]

woo, won an auction for High Seize. Can't wait to get it in.

Hopefully I can find an MMC that I can use before then so that I can take a shit load of screenshots.

[SegaAges]

I lucked out on my collection. I polished it off while nokia was still selling them on their website

[boogiecat]

So far my game only on the N-Gage 2 was just Puyo Puyo/Puyo Pop but im planning to buy Sonic The Hedgehog some time next week if could find one...

[rodarkone]

You cand find it on ebay .. it's a common game.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

So far my game only on the N-Gage 2 was just Puyo Puyo/Puyo Pop but im planning to buy Sonic The Hedgehog some time next week if could find one...

I always found Puyo Pop to be quite slow more like all those other crappy Java games. Completely not what I expected from an N-Gage title. Sonic N on the other hand is great, and a wise choice! One of the best games on the system, and should be on every owner's list

[boogiecat]

Yeah that's my gripe with that game which its slowdown affects the gameplay bigtime...No wonder its not selling well...

Sonic was a great game,How about Super Monkey Ball on the N-Gage??

Wow that's nice game you've got there!

[rodarkone]

Thanks Tom and boogiecat

PS: tom are you from germany ? i want to buy a game from amazon.de and I can't (from RO) can you help me - i send you the money via paypal.

[tom]

Hi
sorry can't help you at the moment, as my PP is in limbo at this time.

Amazon.de don't send abroad? I always order books from amazon usa or UK without any problems. Weird Germans

[rodarkone]

books and music CD .. they send - but games (especialy "my precious" ngage game) don't and I tryes (but I don't understand deutch and some messages just keep popin out ... the game was -> Atari Masterpices Vol 1 ... I am in serious pain :(( .. i can't get it.

[tom]

wow, i checked it out on Amazon de, rather dear too if you ask me. but pretty rare too of course.

[rodarkone]

Nevermind - I am extremly lucky - it just poped up on ebay :) ... I jump on it :D

[tom]

Good, I hate not being able to help others.
But my dispute with PP will actually go on quite a bit though.

[GizmoGC]

Any of you guys have interest in these:

I might have some copies of the Official N-Gage Magazine as well

[rodarkone]

You'll laugh of me if I say I missed the ebay auction ... when I looked back it was already sold - I just hate myself that I didn't buy it now :D

[Gemini-Phoenix]

You'll laugh of me if I say I missed the ebay auction ... when I looked back it was already sold - I just hate myself that I didn't buy it now :D

It was a bargain at £9.99 as well! LOL


I was not the buyer, but did notice the auction as the same seller also has quite a few other nice late releases on offer:
Xmen Legends
Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm
Pathway To Glory: Ikusa Missions
Glimmerati

They're all sealed as well and only £9.99 each, which I personally think is a bargain considering the rarity of some of them. He also has a few other earlier releases too

[rodarkone]

Man you torment me .. :( - I wasn't fall under the impulse to buy it and it was a huge mistake.

[roushimsx]

Just got a High Seize Gold Master Press Kit in from eBay \m/

Went ahead and scanned the cover (http://www.giantbomb.com/high-seize/61-16030/box-art/52-30271/high_seize_presskit_cover/51-938637/) in at 300dpi, uploaded a bunch of the shots (http://www.giantbomb.com/high-seize/61-16030/nge-screenshots/52-30273/) to GiantBomb and ripped an image of the mini DVD (http://www.roushimsx.com/dp/High_Seize_GoldMasterPressKit.7z) for anyone to download.

Got Pathway to Glory Ikusa Islands as well...I'll be uploading stuff off of that tomorrow :)

[rodarkone]

Nice - where did you find it .. I scout the ebay almost every day for my missing games.

later edit:

I just received my new ngage (classic)

Just got really, really lucky on eBay. Wish I could score more N-Gage hardware, but right about now I'd be happy just to find an MMC that I can use in my QD :(

Uploading the Press Kit mini DVD for Ikusa Islands right now, but I've managed to sneak up two videos onto YouTube that I hadn't seen before. The Producer Presentation is especially awesome because it shows some behind the scenes footage that you'd normally never see.

Extended Trailer (HQ) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0oIGpMn3NM&fmt=18)

Almost done uploading the Producer Presentation from the High Seize disc, so I'll edit this post to link it when it's done.

edit - Producer Presentation (HQ) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywFWrBFOx9Q&fmt=18)

Does anyone else have any another press kit mini DVDs (especially Glory in Death) that they wouldn't mind making images of for the greater good? YouTube (hell, the internet) is sadly lacking in decent N-Gage videos and these discs seem to have some serious gold on them.

[SegaAges]

I got the soundtrack for system rush unopened still.

Also, I got some extra NFR games and about 15 complete games if anybody wants them. If not, then my extras go on chase.

[qbertandernie]

damn, i figured everyone had forgotten the n gage and was kind of regretting buying all the games...

ive got an original presskit for the system and a big box store display. the presskit has a lapel pin, waterdrop clock thing, press releases, n gage notepad, nokia academy e-learning disc, n gage strap, and originally came with a taco style unit... kind of cool. the lapel pin by itself is pretty awesome.

i think i posted pics of my weird bomberman... its got marker on the insert, but its sealed. i know some got autographed, this looks like it may have been below an autographed insert and just got some loops from someones signature. never got a real signed game though.

(edit) wasnt bomberman that got autographed...not sure what the deal with that copy is. i also am pretty sure i have extra copies of atari 1 and 2 sealed, but i cant find them. i have a tendency to 'lose' things in random boxes so i discover them years later when they finally have value. i remember not being able to sell them for what i paid for them, and i dont think i would have dumped them... not sure though, i dont really remember.

btw, have i ever shown this? its missing the right side system mount, but its pretty cool...

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

[tom]

they're nice, sometimes i see on ebay.de the cucumber shaped kiosk. one day i'm gonna get one of those.

wonder if windowskiller has one?

[roushimsx]

Ikusa Islands Press Kit disc is done uploading here (http://www.roushimsx.com/dp/PTGII_Gold_MasterPressKit.7z).

Have fun exploring the disc, there's a ton of great stuff on there. Going to combine some of the shorter videos into a single longer one prior to uploading to YouTube.

[rodarkone]

Thanks for the press-kits.

[tom]

So how many Press Kit discs were there?

[WindowsKiller]

I count 9 in my collection. Though one is a media preview, not a gold master press kit.

[roushimsx]

So how many Press Kit discs were there?
Esquire has 11 (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1506925&postcount=712):
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

If anyone has any and wants to rip the disc images, I'd be totally willing to host them up until my provider yells at me for using too much bandwidth (which is unlikely). Lord knows this stuff should be preserved, especially since those press kits tend to have a ton of screenshots, videos and high quality artwork that just simply isn't available elsewhere.

I'm particularly interested in the Warhammer, Civilization and Catan press kit discs. Just in case, I guess I'll be watching eBay for the next few months hoping to get lucky.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I have a System Rush Gold Master Review Kit, which comes with the 'Not For Resale' cart; The cart case; And a 3 inch disc which is still sealed. Am I right in thinking that this is considered complete?

I can't remember where I got it from. I think it was a bonus given to me when I bought a handful of sealed N-Gage games off of an eBay seller some time ago, and he bundled it in with the games as a bonus.

[rodarkone]

I also got the gold press kit from system rush (and it's still available from the same user on ebay) ... but I think it's only the soundtrack.

[roushimsx]

I can't find it. Guess this is what I get for finding that High Seize kit :(

There's an Ikusa Islands Media Kit (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120394664546) up on eBay right now with no bids if anyone wants one. Includes NFR versions of Pathway to Glory and Chaos Theory + some neat N-Gage tchotchkies.

I need to get around to scanning in this N-Gage QD Games and Enhancements Vol. 1/2004 booklet this weekend.

[esquire]

(edit) wasnt bomberman that got autographed...not sure what the deal with that copy is.

It was "Rifts: Promise of Power" that got autographedin limited numbers by Kevin Siembieda, the RPG's creator. I remember ordering 3 copies from 'Let's Talk' before they ran out of stock and every copy I got was autographed. Believe it or not, I was trying to get a regular copy so I could keep the autographed copy sealed. I never got a regular copy. I ended up selling the extra copies here on DP.

[esquire]

Does anyone know if they make MMC card holders? I am looking for something that can hold all of my loose NFS cards, but not just individual cases, maybe something along the lines of the actual game cases which hold multiple cards if you want them too.

[swlovinist]

I think that you kindly sold one to me, and for that I am very thankful.

I scored a standard copy from ebay a few years back.

Good to see this thread still chugging along :)

PS, I have about 7 of those (media kit review) boxed n-gage games boxed with the little cd etc. Is there a list of what games had those made for them?

Looks like the ones with the mini-DVDs only came out for late release games. I haven't stumbled on any references to any that esquire doesn't have, so I think that lucky jerk may have 'em all. :)

Still looking for more! The ones for the earlier games (like Pathway to Glory or Fifa) don't seem to come with the fun-to-explore discs :(

you said '12' in your previous post

[rodarkone]

It was a mistake - there are only 11 games (I counted Pocket Kingdom from last post ... )

The missing games are:

Asphalt: Urban GT 2 (ordered - found on amazon just the MMC)
Atari Masterpieces Vol. I
Atari Masterpieces Vol. II
Call of Duty (ordered from USA)
Civilization
High Seize
King of Fighters EXTREME (ordered from USA)
Operation Shadow (ordered from USA)
Rifts: Promise Of Power
Sega Rally Championship (I can order this from ebay.de .. but it's kinda pricy I wait a copy of the game from Australia, I missed one on 6-7 euros)
Warhammer 40,000

[tom]

do you want a copy of cover/instructions for Asphalt 2?

[rodarkone]

I have the original cover - I just need the manual.

[tom]

Big boxes

So I got Asphalt promo big box, with racing gloves:
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/thomasholzer/AsphaltUrbanGTpic1.jpg

'pocket' in France has Pathway to Glory big box with a lamp:
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/thomasholzer/PtGbigbox.jpg
(pic by pocket with permission)

and Splinter Cell big box(also with some extra):
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/thomasholzer/SCCTbigbox.jpg
(pic by pocket with permission)

are there any more 'big' boxes?

.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Now that the old N-Gage Arena site and forum are gone, and replaced by the new Arena forum, are there any other major fan-made 'Homage' sites out there which specialise in the collecting of the N-Gage?

If not, then perhaps we should form a specialist community and create one, and use it as a preservation site for all things N-Gage... Rather than just limited to one discussion thread on a popular gaming site, we could host screenshots and databases, as well as high quality scans of all releases and pictures of our collections etc... Anybody already thought about doing this?

[WindowsKiller]

are there any more 'big' boxes?

All big boxes are promo versions, not retail ones. High Seize had such a promo release as well, which was in a big box made of wood and included a bag, a compass, and some other stuff.

Anybody already thought about doing this?

I was kicking the idea around, but I think it'd be more fun if we invaded GiantBomb (http://www.giantbomb.com/) and fix up their N-Gage (http://www.giantbomb.com/n-gage/60-34/) database. It needs a ton of work; new pages need to be created, others need to be split off (many games are grouped with dissimilar titles with the same name, such as Chaos Theory, Xanadu Next, Colin McRae, etc), tons of screenshots need to be uploaded still, gallery management is a bit wonky, we can't upload videos (but we CAN use YouTube to hold the nice stuff off of those media kits), and the forum system is set up similar to GameFAQs where every game and system has its own mini-forum.

Upside: Anyone can edit, it's easy to make changes and we can upload high quality images and scans. Supports fancy game guides (with permissions set for only only the people you choose to edit) and linking to other games based on similar features (such as games in the same franchise, games that play similarly, other games that take place in the same time period or place, etc)
Downside: No versioning system (I know, a wiki without a versioning system? Wtf?) and you need to accumulate 1,000 points from submissions prior to being able to make "live edits". Gallery management is incredibly non-intuitive.

[WindowsKiller]

It needs a ton of work;

After reading the bullshit it tells about Piracy, I think it requires a ground-up rewrite, not just "a ton of work". ;)

After reading the bullshit it tells about Piracy, I think it requires a ground-up rewrite, not just "a ton of work". ;)

Oh you can easily nuke that page from orbit and rewrite it. It needs it. :P

The real money though is in the individual game pages. Given how a vast majority of the gamers out there have never seen an N-Gage first hand, let alone played one, their information per game is woefully lacking. I'm going to fill out the Call of Duty page this weekend, though I'm finding it extremely difficult to be objective and balanced while filling out the actual entry. I need to remember to try to focus on leaving criticisms in a separate section along with cutting down on the amount of weasel words.

But look at high profile stuff like High Seize (http://www.giantbomb.com/high-seize/61-16030/), Pathway to Glory (http://www.giantbomb.com/pathway-to-glory/61-14005/), Rifts (http://www.giantbomb.com/rifts-promise-of-power/61-22995/) and Glimmerati (http://www.giantbomb.com/glimmerati/61-13654/). Major games for the system but the pages and galleries are nearly empty. We could easily flesh that stuff out with our knowledge and resources.

[tom]

All big boxes are promo versions, not retail ones. High Seize had such a promo release as well, which was in a big box made of wood and included a bag, a compass, and some other stuff.

High Seize wooden box? Oh that's sounds nice, me want :-)

[Retrogamer72]

I've got a bunch of extra Gold Master Review Kit games and Not For Sale games if anyone is interested in them.

@ WindowsKiller: What "Media Preview" game do you have?




EDIT: Since I've had a couple PMs already, here is a list of what I have available:

Gold Masters - all complete with game, disc, and case. Case and game have matching numbered stickers. The disc inside is still shrinkwrapped on some of them.

Asphalt 2
One
Catan
PtG Ikusa Islands
Rifts
X-Men Legends II

Kiosk NFS cards

Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Jungle Storm
SSX Out of Bounds
FIFA 2004
FIFA 2005 (green stripe label)
Red Faction
Spider Man 3
Ashen
Pathway to Glory
Rayman 3

Yellow stripe Review cards
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Atari Masterpieces Vol 1

[Daria]

I don't know if I've asked this question before, but with 30+ pages I'm not back tracking to double check.

But what RPGs are available for the N-Gage?

I have:
Elder Scrolls, The: Shadowkey
Pocket Kingdom: Own the World
Requiem of Hell
Rifts: Promise of Power
Xanadu Next
X-Men Legends II

And am missing Roots.

What else is there?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I was kicking the idea around, but I think it'd be more fun if we invaded GiantBomb (http://www.giantbomb.com/) and fix up their N-Gage (http://www.giantbomb.com/n-gage/60-34/) database. It needs a ton of work; new pages need to be created, others need to be split off (many games are grouped with dissimilar titles with the same name, such as Chaos Theory, Xanadu Next, Colin McRae, etc), tons of screenshots need to be uploaded still, gallery management is a bit wonky, we can't upload videos (but we CAN use YouTube to hold the nice stuff off of those media kits), and the forum system is set up similar to GameFAQs where every game and system has its own mini-forum.

Upside: Anyone can edit, it's easy to make changes and we can upload high quality images and scans. Supports fancy game guides (with permissions set for only only the people you choose to edit) and linking to other games based on similar features (such as games in the same franchise, games that play similarly, other games that take place in the same time period or place, etc)
Downside: No versioning system (I know, a wiki without a versioning system? Wtf?) and you need to accumulate 1,000 points from submissions prior to being able to make "live edits". Gallery management is incredibly non-intuitive.

That site is complete gash! We need something more streamlined, similar to the original N-Gage website, but more in-depth, and more importantly - Independant. I'm sure it can't be too hard to design a suitable website from the ground. I know some people & can make some calls (That is, if there's enough interest in the project to warrant the effort)

I also throw onto the table 'N-Gaged' as a potential website name, just to get us started

I've just browsed Google to try and find some other indie N-Gage websites, but there really is very little out there relating to it, and there's not really any real leading authorities on the subject matter. The new N-Gage site is also no good, as Nokia just want to forget the original hardware and focus on the new Arena service for N-series devices, so there's plenty of potential there for such a specialist fan site

[WindowsKiller]

@ WindowsKiller: What "Media Preview" game do you have?
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Comes with a pressed mini-cd and a very early beta of the game.

Though I'm most proud of the protos I have of SonicN and Pandemonium. Both from a time when the N-Gage hardware wasn't even final. :D


I'm interested in the Gold Masters of PtG Ikusa Islands, Rifts, Mile High Pinball, and X-Men Legends II. The ones I have are either incomplete or in rather bad condition. If they are still available, let me know.

[rodarkone]

Ahh, so that was you bidding on those :P I almost bid on those, too. Good thing I didn't, I guess :)

[rodarkone]

another set is still available on ebay :D .. go for it -

[tom]

does every n-gage game has it's 'not for sale' counterpart?

[WindowsKiller]

does every n-gage game has it's 'not for sale' counterpart?

Yes, they all have.

[rodarkone]

I only have 3 not for resale MMC's -> the 2 in the above picture and Sims.

[tom]

is there a difference in 'not for sale' and 'not for re-sale' mmcs?

does Flo Boarding also have a 'not for sale' or 'promo' mmc? (mind you it never was for sale in the first place, only a pack-in. nevertheless it would be interesting to know)

[William_the_Saint]

@ roushimsx

I'd give you a hand with the Giantbomb N-Gage update. Let's do it, its easy to get screen shots at least.

[roushimsx]

<3

I'm going to polish up the Call of Duty entry either tonight or in the morning and then I'll start cracking on the Ashen entry. Going to upload shots for Ikusa Islands soon, too.

Oh, and I'll enter the credits for the games that I have where possible. Looks like I'll have to create a new company page for OmegaSoft at the very least.

[tom]

I tell you what we need. We need an N-Gage book. That'll be awesome, hint, hint...

[rodarkone]

Just received

Call of duty
Operation Shadow
King of Fighters EXTREME

and

SSX Out of Bounds (witch I had only the MMC - now is complete)

Still need (8 games - but 1 -> Asphalt 2 is already ordered a friend from UK bought it for me from amazon.co.uk):

Asphalt: Urban GT 2
Atari Masterpieces Vol. I
Atari Masterpieces Vol. II
Civilization
High Seize (found it in a set with other games and phone - @ high price)
Rifts: Promise Of Power
Sega Rally Championship (is on ebay @ high price)
Warhammer 40,000

[WindowsKiller]

I tell you what we need. We need an N-Gage book. That'll be awesome, hint, hint...
Put on hold, unfortunately, due to real-life, job-switching, etc. Early 2010 maybe. :roll:

Nice one,
unfortunately our Rooms of Doom are still down, so I cannot even access my collection :-(

[rodarkone]

Stay calm - I did watched your collection when the photo album was available.

I only use picasaweb - It's the only one I trust :D

I removed my pictures from room of doom because some of them was deleted .. or something and I didn't like it.

[roushimsx]

Oh man, if anyone needs Ikusa Islands, there's a copy up on eBay for $10+cheap shipping (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280328778185). I'm half tempted to bite just for the trade bait :(

[rodarkone]

For those who want it is a good deal - I have and I don't buy games to trade, I already have like 5 games I don't want :D.

I only focus now on games I miss :)

If anybody from germany can help me buy the Atari Vol 1 .. just PM.

[roushimsx]

Screenshots and covers are slowly being uploaded to GiantBomb. I'll compress and upload these media disc images tonight/tomorrow. :)

[tom]

Cool idea about Picasa, I already started uploading.

Hey, rodarkone, my ex-wife is coming to visit next month, she'll be able to help as her PP is operational, and she has an account to order from Amazon

[rodarkone]

Excelent news - I can't wait :)

I found a couple of games in france - (on amazon) - I am still looking for someone in France :D

[Retrogamer72]

Well I finally managed to score a Flo-Boarding game card. That should complete my released game collection. Now all I need are Space Impact, Snakes MMC card, Virtua Cop, Alien Front, Taito Memories, and any other protos or press kits that I don't have. It should only take me another 10 years or so to complete my N-Gage collection! :p

I'll have to get some pics up sometime soon of my collection.

And I just found a bunch of the "For Display Only" cases that I'd be willing to sell pretty cheap if anyone is looking for any. And before anyone asks, I don't have any for Virtua Cop, Alienfront, or Taito Memories.

[rodarkone]

Nice site u got there (in your sig) :) - i found out some of the nintendoage members @ thank's :D

[slapdash]

Well then, dibs on the next Flo Boarding card!

[SegaAges]

Well then, dibs on the next Flo Boarding card!

maybe :)

[tom]

Russ, you still need a Flo Boarding? I thought you already have one. Let me know.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

The best thing about the Flo Boarding card is that you can also use it as a standard memory card to store files on, although space is quite limited. Enough to fit a few pictures and a handful of MP3's on though - I personally keep a copy of Snakes 3D on there for safe keeping

So my advice to anyone who has recently aquired one of these, is to actually check to see what else may be on these cards, and to make sure the Flo Boarding game is actually on there

[slapdash]

Sure do. And Snakes for that matter, though there wasn't any kind of official release on card, right?

[Retrogamer72]

Sure do. And Snakes for that matter, though there wasn't any kind of official release on card, right?

There's a yellow labeled press review card but no card that was released to the public in any way

[tom]

Sure do. And Snakes for that matter, though there wasn't any kind of official release on card, right?

Of course I let a couple of Flo Boarding slip through my fingers last year, for a couple of Euros each, on German ebay.
ALways happens that way, I'll keep an eye out for you :-)

[Giant]

You guys all sound like you are having fun collecting for N-gage. Do you know where I could get one for a reasonable price. I've searched a little on the internet, including e-bay and amazon, but the prices seem pretty steep...

[roushimsx]

You guys all sound like you are having fun collecting for N-gage. Do you know where I could get one for a reasonable price. I've searched a little on the internet, including e-bay and amazon, but the prices seem pretty steep...
I've been looking for some reasonably priced QDs as well :( The screen on mine is a little battle damaged at this point and I'd love to snag a backup or two to hold me off until emulation of the system is a reality (though I understand that there's a partially working solution now, it doesn't really seem to be up to snuff).

[c2000]

I accidently deleted floboarding from the card..oops.

[c0ldb33r]

I've been looking for some reasonably priced QDs as well :( The screen on mine is a little battle damaged at this point and I'd love to snag a backup or two...
Me too. I've been trying to find a well priced QD for quite a while but can't find one either online or offline. I mean, I can find them, but they're damn expensive.

[rodarkone]

I give up searching for the games I need ( the 8 titles, 7 if you count that the Asphalt Urban GT 2 card only that I will receive at the end of this week)

I found

Atari Vol 1 (amazon)
Atari Vol 2 (ebay)
Asphalt Urban Gt 2 (complet -> ebay)
High Seize (on amazon)

O ebay.fr and amazon.fr - but I can't buy them from there - so I lost them :(

I putting this on hold - and I will start searching in the future - now .. I am down :(.

[slapdash]

That would be awesome, Tom. And thanks Retrogamer72 for clarifying the card status of Snakes. :-)

[tom]

That's ok, I'll keep my eyes on ebay de and uk for you.

here's the manual, if someone should need it, and the mmc image:
http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/thomasholzer/stuff/

Should someone need the game (or any of the N-Gage range of games) on CD, pm me.

[Retrogamer72]

Darn I didn't know that there was a manual for Flo-Boarding. Looks like I still have to find that then. If anyone happens to have an extra please PM me :)

[WindowsKiller]

Darn I didn't know that there was a manual for Flo-Boarding.

That's NOT a manual. It only tells you that you can also download the game, in case you lost or formatted the MMC.

[Steve W]

It's interesting that people can't locate any N-Gage QDs to try the system out. It seems like the negativity surrounding it has mostly gone away, and it's sparking people's interests now. It's good to see this little handheld start getting a tiny bit of respect. It deserves it.

[tom]

I wonder why there was so much negativity about the games, when many of them were top titles and have excellent game play.

I think most of the negativity was from people who never even used an N-Gage and never played any games on N-Gage (We actually had one of those guys here on DP, he said 'all N-Gage games suck', but he never even used or played an N-Gage. Yes, there are people like that about).

[ardias]

Could someone let me know what a white colour bar on a NFS MMC means?
I have checked the posts but could not find any mention

Thanks

[WindowsKiller]

Nothing, really. Point-of-Sale, same as retail but just not for sale.

[ardias]

wow,thanks for the really quick reply and info

[c0ldb33r]

where can I download snakes?

edit: never mind - got it

[c0ldb33r]

Sorry to double post, but it's been a few days.

Just FYI - boxwave.com has reduced the price of their flexiskin for the QD to 99 cents. I just ordered one :)

http://www.boxwave.com/products/flexiskin/flexiskin-nokia-n-gage-qd_738.htm

[c0ldb33r]

Does anyone know - are there any popcap mobile games that will work on ngage?

[Retrogamer72]

Just got these in the mail today. :) Anyone have any info on them other then they are dev systems (at least the QD is, I'm not totally sure about the other one except for the green back cover). The card has Civilization on it.

[Steve W]

I mentioned it last Saturday in the thrift finds thread, but I found an Atari Masterpieces vol. 1 in a thrift. It still had Let's Talk stickers on the case. And of course, the MMC is missing. After all, what better place to shoplift something than in a store devoted to a children's charity? :angry: People like that need to be put in stocks and beaten.

[SegaAges]

Dirk, I have to look through, but I have some extra POS/NFR mmc's i can sell you. I have a buttload of extras

[DirkDagger]

SegaAges Ok. Please Give me (in PM) a photo of all your NFS games and stuff. I look at this and say what I can buy from your games and stuff. =)

[roushimsx]

I'm still trying to find the Civilization and Warhammer 40k Gold Master Review Kits along with a Glimmeratti NFS card :(

Love those press kits. So much neat stuff included in them normally.

[DirkDagger]

Lol yes, =) I need warhammer gold too. And I need High Seize gold and Splinter Cell Media kit MMC (I have SC kit and disc, but mmc havent.) (I have all others 9 gold inkl Civilization and have NFS Glimmerati too =)

[roushimsx]

Any chance I could get you to rip a disc image of that cd/dvd that came with Civilization? I've been having fun both exploring those and archiving them online for other people to enjoy :(

[DirkDagger]

Lol ye. I can rip this miniDVD, but in the end of jul. =)

[marco11]

Hello everyone, i just started to collect N-Gage games. I appreciate all advises, where to get some rare games/NFS ones, maybe some of you have something for sale :?

[DirkDagger]

Go to eBay dude. =)

[marco11]

Of course i am on ebay but that's not enough for me :/

[tom]

Are there any more different Preview mmcs out there?
I managed to buy this one:
http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=192219&g2_serialNumber=2

[DirkDagger]

Previev - no (but I have Asphalt 2 Demo MMC --> http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/4474/07072009009.jpg more my photos in the post №874). And in the old Arena u can download this PtG Preview, but now - not. (I download (have) it) =).
P.S> You buy this MMC on ebay?

[WindowsKiller]

Previev - no (but I have Asphalt 2 Demo MMC

Note that C-DEMO does not refer to a demo version. All cards with a red, yellow, or orange bar have C-DEMO written there, no matter if the MMC is a preview, gold master or POS card.

[DirkDagger]

Lol Dude =D I collect N-Gage stuff from 2003, and u think that i dont knew what mean c-demo and colours (yel, red, orange, white, green) LOl My Asphalt is REAL demo (With "THIS IS DEMO" bar when u play.) v. 2.0.154. This is not free nokia Asphalt 2 demo and not full game. That DEMO with 4 maps unlocked, more cars then in official nokia free demo and all modes (but arena is swith off like in free nokia demo). =D

[WindowsKiller]

I think you completely misunderstood the purpose of my post...

Apart from that, I have that Asphalt 2 demo myself, so there's no need to explain it to me. It's a preview version actually, not a demo, even if the term is used in-game. Just like the "preview" of PtG shown by tom, which is really a demo, not a preview version. Nokia apparently never cared about the difference between the two terms. Demos are build from final code, previews are build from beta code.

[DirkDagger]

Ye... U right but not in all.
Nokia apparently never cared about the difference between the two terms. - Yes.
But PtG Previev is final code. (This is DEMO what u can download (nokia dont upload NOT final code, they afraid crackers lol) from arena some years later (like payload, mhp, system rush - demo) - i dont knew why nokia called it preview, but it demo.) And my asphalt better say - beta, because it not final code v2.0.154 (but in game nokia called it demo).

[tom]

So my Asphalt Urban GT promo is a demo and a preview too:
http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=192266&g2_serialNumber=2

And yes, I got the PtG preview on ebay, seller had 15 of those selling them for Euro 2.50 each.

[DirkDagger]

Nice... This seller haven't any more PtG MMC previews? =)
___________________________
Soon I will get my payload.... and make better photo...
http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3120/buck8ibmkkgrhgookjkejll.jpg
As I understand this is beta... that's too bad that i dont have enough time to buy full payload... but i have BiNPDA scene crack... and this beta now lol. If any one can sell PtG preview and legal copy of full payload (and if any 1 have trial please upload and PM me link please) i can buy. :)

[tom]

I don't think you can buy a 'full' Payload anymore, as the companies website does not exist anymore.
I purchased the full Payload game on release, the full game with serial number, as a download from the website (You had to pay for the game, download it, receive a serial number, install the game on your N-Gage/mmc, insert the serial# when asked, connect with N-Gage online following the given link as company wanted to make sure serial# and N-Gage match so you could only use the full game with your own/one N-Gage)

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_yAnEuZDGAPw/SdqDgAeiKjI/AAAAAAAAAHM/uESUPRcLULo/Payload.jpg

[DirkDagger]

Yeah. Its like the procedure for buying games on N-Gage 2.0. I knew it. (I bought all 2.0 games.)... So I have crack and beta (soon), it is enough for me. =)

[WindowsKiller]

But PtG Previev is final code. (This is DEMO what u can download (nokia dont upload NOT final code, they afraid crackers lol) from arena some years later (like payload, mhp, system rush - demo) - i dont knew why nokia called it preview, but it demo.) And my asphalt better say - beta, because it not final code v2.0.154 (but in game nokia called it demo).

Mate, this is EXACTLY what I wrote. But I accept it as an excuses that your English probably isn't that good.


So my Asphalt Urban GT promo is a demo and a preview too:
Neither, nor. It's the retail version in a promo box...

As for Payload, how glad I am that I got my hands on a gold master review kit. It's a shame that the game can not even be bought anymore.

[DirkDagger]

Mate, this is EXACTLY what I wrote. But I accept it as an excuses that your English probably isn't that good.
Ok Dude.

Neither, nor. It's the retail version in a promo box... +1. German full version.

Please Upload photo of your Payload kit (Cover and Inbox Content - MMC and miniDVD photo). =)


Interesting, Have any one here Asnen v1.0 (Beta) - it was cracked by ENGAGE.

[DirkDagger]

Today i got my new N-Gage betas and 1 gold :) -->
http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4552/17072009001.jpg

[tom]

Well done, but why are there so many N-Gage betas? Did Nokia flood the world with N-Gage game betas?

[SegaAges]

Well done, but why are there so many N-Gage betas? Did Nokia flood the world with N-Gage game betas?

I think the answer is yes.

And now they flood eBay for us to enjoy :)

I picked one of these up from eBay since it technically counts as N-Gage Games.
http://i.ebayimg.com/21/%21BWE8Vw%21%21Wk%7E$%28KGrHgoH-EMEjlLlwLjKBKVq0ZvOzw%7E%7E_12.JPG

[tom]

That is neat, I am gonna look out for that.
I got one of those for Palm:
http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=202682&g2_serialNumber=2

[DirkDagger]

Nice thing SegaAges. I want to buy it some days ago on ebay for 5$. But post in russia is too big - 35$ lol. And I think dont buy it. =)

Soon I will get new N-Gage QD Silver Ed. =D

Hey Tom and what betas, NFR and gold do you have? (Upload photo =)

[tom]

I don't have any, as I only collect 'released' stuff. I got a complete N-Gage collection:
http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=192136

but if I find a Asphalt Urban promo box, or a Pathway to Glory preview, especially cheap, I take it, because that's a nice bonus. The Asphalt promo I managed to get on ebay for Euro 15, can't complain there.
Having a 'full game' Payload is also nice to have, and a Super Fighter Block Battle download is also cool.

[tom]

Should some betas pop up on ebay cheap, I will go for it, but it is not essential for me to own.

Hey tom. I have a couple questions

How possible would it be for you to scan those virtua cop and alien front cases? I know mine will not be legit, and I am fine with that. I just think it would be cool to add to the collection and have some cases I made. If you can, awesome. If not, no big deal. Just throwing it out there.

What type of MMC's did you use for extra ones? I know we don;t need big ones, and big ones suck for compatibility (I have 2 1 gb and a 2gb that are not compatible).

Also, what did you do to print off mmc labels?

While I will not count the unreleased as part of my collection, I think it would be cool to whip up my own repros since it would be dirt easy to do.

[tom]

Hi
I nicked those Alien Front and Virtua Cop pictures from http://www.allack.co.uk/, they should be still there, but very small only, and no spine/back, it's just a front picture. But they also have two screenshots of each, good to use for the back of box.

As for mmc I used 32MB, I got cheap off ebay.

Label printing I use Paint Shop Pro, very difficult with fuzzy images to start off with, but it'll do for me, for now.

[DirkDagger]

He... He... I have original Alien Front box, here some photos (U can use it guys) =)

That's awesome, thanks dude.

Oh yeah, since I am going to cover 2 of you dudes (so that I don't have to send out 2 PM's), I got ahold of my friend who has my other extras. He is looking for where he put them.

So very soon. Should be sometime this weekend

[DirkDagger]

(I bought it only for Pandemonium and RP Ashen)

[tom]

Yeah, it's always god to have some extra empty boxes to use for homebrews which might appear later in the future.

[DirkDagger]

Lol no. It have Ashen "not for sale" and Pandemonium "not for sale" in the box.
Sims, SSX and PtG has "Not for Sale" game in box too. =) (I have RP-Not for sale covers for CoD, SSX, PtG, Roots, CMR2005, Worms, Operation Shadow, TEST Shadowkey, SM2, Pocket Kingdom.)
For extra boxes and mmc holders (some my games holders is missing) yesterday I bougt 6 PtG, 6 NCAA, 6 Tiger Woods and 6 FIFA 2004 (all NTSC) on ebay. (for 35$ + 39$ Post in Russia LoL) =)
P.S> How about Nokia Game tom? =)

[tom]

Here's the full list again, can someone add anything new to it? Can someone add the 'not for sale', promos, demos, POS, Gold Master with or without CDs, mini CDs, mmc where applicable? And what's the point/purpose of the yellow, red, orange, white, green coding? I think Windowskiller mentioned it already.

Anyone have the Snake mmc with serial number? I heard a rumor, that there might be one.

So basically Taito Memories and Space Impact exist as prototypes, as far as I know only Windowskiller owns them, but he's not showing pictures.

[DirkDagger]

I have "not for sale" MMC with Snake. And I have MHP v2.9 Gold Review kit (I have MMC only) (MHP Have 2 Gold Review Kits - v2.9 and v3.9b (I have it too, with miniDVD, and box)), it full game like v.3.9b but have different icon. (And I think some different MHP maps in the game - I play it now.) =)

[WindowsKiller]

So basically Taito Memories and Space Impact exist as prototypes, as far as I know only Windowskiller owns them, but he's not showing pictures.
Why are you telling that I don't show pictures of them? I posted pictures of both. You even saw them! I'm just not making new ones, especially not on request...

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Just out of interest, how much would you say a sealed UK PAL region Gold Master Review Kit copy of System Rush was worth? (Cd is sealed, cart and case is not)

I've had it for some time, yet I can't decide whether to sell or keep it

[WindowsKiller]

I have a sealed one too, got it for about 20 €.

[DirkDagger]

I have it too. CD and MMC unsealed but in great condition bought it for 12 EUR. Gemini if u want to sell it say me your price in PM.

[ARCZero]

I have a complete released set of games except for Flo Boarding, which I cannot find in the U.S.

Does it come up for sale often in the U.K. or Germany? Does anyone have a copy for sale? I think it may be cart only (wasn't it a pack in?)

ARCZero

[DirkDagger]

Soon I upload here Full version of Flo Boarding with all manuals. =)

[WindowsKiller]

Flo Boarding doesn't have a manual. It's only a card and a small leaflet which contains some info on how to obtain the game if one e.g. accidentally formatted the MMC.

Hehe... I kill 2 days for make this Flo prints like new. Tomorrow I upload link for Clear Flo Boarding, Like New Tom's Instruction Scan + My Nokia's flo presentation. =) Wait guys.

[ARCZero]

See the Dagger below:

Nice Flo Boarding Tom :)

Is that a special release or how it came normally? Any idea of how much a loose copy sells for?

Thx

[tom]

Thanks, I took it off because of Dagger doing such a great job, you wait.

Flo Boarding was a pack-in with the original N-Gage in Europe, mainly UK/Germany

[DirkDagger]

Here is the manual. =)
Special thanks to Tom for the front and back side of the manual.
(Clear Nokia Game, Nokia Game MMC image and Nokia Game Promo booklet .pdf will be available soon - I need to check up some files.)

Hey great effort Dirk,
what was that link again I put the Flo Boarding game up on? I wanna share it with others.

[DirkDagger]

Thx.
P.S> Lol, Dude I delete this link. But soon (1st or 2nd augest I upload final clean dump of flo here + flo promo manual. Wait dudes. =))

[tom]

OK, great job.
Hey I was recently contacted from a friend from Hong Kong, he said he's bringing back a N-Gage Taito Memories promo (boxed) for me. I hope he's right about it. If it's true, I put it up for you as well.

[DirkDagger]

Wow, nice news. If its not joke, ye, please put one copy for me. =)

[rodarkone]

When I bought a few games of the ebay I received a sonic n - display only/not for resale - labeled case but inside wasn't a cart marked not for resale -inside contained regular cart (and the case was sealed) I never saw the inscription on the case but I noticed that the game wasn't rated for age here is a picture



http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Ag9wZEpOcpA/SnFJiJglc7I/AAAAAAAADHI/LWjCaO0Jdx4/untitled.JPG

[DirkDagger]

Look, back side of MMC must have "not for sale" mark.

[WindowsKiller]

Hey I was recently contacted from a friend from Hong Kong, he said he's bringing back a N-Gage Taito Memories promo (boxed) for me.

I have two and one is for sale, if anyone wants to make an offer. Have a couple of other promo boxes for sale as well.

[tom]

Hello
I can offer 25 Euro, let me know, please, if not Dirk will go for it for sure (Being in Germany I can do Ueberweisung).

[DirkDagger]

Ye. I can buy TaitoMemories for 26 UER. =D

[Retrogamer72]

I have two and one is for sale, if anyone wants to make an offer. Have a couple of other promo boxes for sale as well.

Are you saying you have and extra game in the case or just an extra case?

[WindowsKiller]

Only the "not for sale" display case, of course. The game itself only exists in very small quantities, maybe a handful, if at all.

[Retrogamer72]

Anyone interested in trading for a Virtua Cop display case? I have an extra that I would gladly trade straight up for either an Alienfront case or a Taito case, or possibly some other rare N-Gage stuff :).

[WindowsKiller]

Hello
I can offer 25 Euro, let me know, please, if not Dirk will go for it for sure (Being in Germany I can do Ueberweisung).

Sold for $150, sorry.

I still have a FIFA '05 and SSX promo box for sale.

[DirkDagger]

Maybe soon i will buy limited edition silver N-Gage QD with ONE logo.
""There is also extremely rare (only 10 ever made) N-Gage QD with cover painted with ONE logo. I have 1, game producer has 1, game developer (CEO, lead designer, lead artist, lead programmer) and a few other important persons on the team have 1 each. I don't think they have ever sold anywhere (eBay or N-Gage forums), they were hand-painted with black and gold. See photo for proof of existence."" - It write one dude from nokia for me lol. =)
http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5032/img0128vax.jpg

[shadwolf]

It looks like this is where the serious N-Gage collector's hang-out, so I thought I'd ask...

I noticed PtG: Ikusa Islands and High Seize Gold Master Kits have different cover art than the retail releases. Are there any other press kits in which the case art differs dramatically from their retail counterparts?

I've been scrounging around for a while, as I'm trying to collect all of the North American retail releases. There are a few that have eluded me, and am looking for:

Asphalt 2
Atari Masterpieces 2
Cataan
Mile High Pinball
System Rush
Virtua Tennis w/ logo on spine (many seem to have been released with this blank?)

Does anyone have the NA releases of those available? I have a few items I could trade, including:

Asphalt 2 Gold Master Review Kit (complete)
Mile High Pinball Gold Master Review Kit (complete)
Rifts Gold Master Review Kit (complete)
Crash Nitro Kart NFS v1.8.2 orange label (card only)
Tiger Woods PGS Tour NFS v1.04 yellow label (card only)

[SegaAges]

Well, I have bought from this guy before and his shit seemed legit.

I got some badass stuff from eBay, and I am surprised that they went for so low since I know what they went for last time.

I bought an Alienfront online test kit and a Virtua cop test kit.

Hopefully these are legit. The last person that spent around 950 for both of these gave the dude good feedback, so that seems like a good sign.

I will take more pictures when they arrive, but here are the auctions:
Virtua Cop (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120460138156)

Hate to break it to you but those MMCs are 100% fake. The real ones should have an orange stripe label just like any other beta game. There was a thread in the Ebay section here when the first one was listed. The cases might be legit but I can't say for sure without seeing one in person. The last guy who bought them for $950 was actually an auction bidding service from Japan so I doubt they even ever look at the items that are purchased

Yeah, I assumed that there was no way the person was able to have that many review mmc's (2 sets in less than a month is very unlikely). Really, I was paying for the cases, and I understand that and am satisfied with that. The other shit I have bought from the dude in the past has been legit though, so I will determine when it comes if the mmc really is just a mmc that says nokia on it (hopefully not as I have seen the review copies of alien front but not virtua cop)

EDIT: and speaking of making bold random purchases, anybody know a place where I can get another keyset from? My main qd lost the 1 key and i am using my backup right now

I believe that's actually the 4th set of those games he has sold so far. He seems to list another every couple weeks. But the price isn't bad for the cases either. Let me know if the artwork is legit when you get them in and not just copies. I still need the Alienfront case myself but I didn't want to take the chance on his at the time. If you can confirm they are indeed legit then maybe I'll try to snag one if he lists more of them.

How legit are the cases though?

Like I said, I was assuming I was buying the case and getting a ripped game, and I am fine with that as long as the case is legit. I know I could make my own, but if it is legit, it would be pretty awesome to own an original

[DirkDagger]

Case and case insert is legit (But looks case insrt is Nodos'es print ), game and MMC is not.

[SegaAges]

Here are my extra NFS N-Gage games:
3 Ghost Recon
2 Pathway to Glory

[DirkDagger]

Thanks Dude. But looks I have it. If u find any others extra NFS games, post them here. And I will buy it. :)

[SegaAges]

I have some extra ntsc games, but i keep forgetting to get them from my friend

[DirkDagger]

Bump. :D

So today I got some nice N-Gage loose gold MMC:

And Nice Operation Shadow... erm... i mean WW2 Russian F1 Grenade. :D
(This is a real deactivated WW2 Russian F1 hand grenade.) (Grenade and Dummy - 1942, Fuse modern.)
http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/9624/97268906.jpg

And soon (I think near 10-15 Oct) I get this Gold Kits:
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5089/96471973.jpg

Three top is SSX Loose Gold, Xanadu Loose Gold and Catan Loose Goold.
(Skate and slam is boxed java game (code to download) not N-Gage.)
(I bought this lot only for SSX, High Seize and Rifts. Others Golds I already have. :-D)

Someone has updated its N-Gage collection? :-D

[DirkDagger]

Hey Dudes! Anyone has any new n-gage "Not For Resales"? :)

[SegaAges]

you know which ones i have.

i finally got those extra games back from my friend, so i will post them up on this thread within the next couple of days and any offers can be done through pm

[DirkDagger]

Nice. :)

[DirkDagger]

Hm, yesterday I bought this nice games.
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/127/bbbisrwwkkgrhqeokiueq3c.jpg
In 2-3 weeks game will come to me. Here is Bomberman Beta and ineresting version of Puzzle Bubble - You can see its not original retail version, and not not for sale (havent red "Not for Sale" mark and "c-demo" mark) but it have white strip like "Not for Sale" games and "Taito" logo is in down of MMC - in retall version it in up-left. As I knew Taito dont reliased Taito Memories who included Puzzle Buble and Space Invaders, so maybe it Taito Memories MMC or It strange version (old version) of Not for Sale Puzzle Bubble (Like my X-Men 2 and Asphalt 2 Not For Sale MMC? (U can see them in my foto of my loose not for sale MMC on 38 page))? *_*

[WindowsKiller]

As I knew Taito dont reliased Taito Memories who included Puzzle Buble and Space Invaders

Taito Memories included Bubble Bobble, not Puzzle Bobble!

[DirkDagger]

Hm... I cant see name clearly. Looks like PB, but maybe ib BB. When it come to me I upload better foto. But if it only PB "Not For Sale" it is really good too. =) I dont see any dudes who have Puzzle Bobble "Not For Sale". =)

[WindowsKiller]

So you buy stuff without even knowing what it is?

[DirkDagger]

lol Dude. I bought this lot only for bomberman v1.0.2 beta. =) I look at PBvs only after I make bid (Then i look at this first time I think it retail version), and it was good surprise for me. =))
And u got any new betas/promos/nfs?

[DirkDagger]

Yeah! Soon I will get it! One of the most rare N-Gage Game. :D
I bought It on ebay some days ago for 404$. :)
(Other rares are: Virtua Cop, Alien Front, Taito Memories, Ashen v1.0.)

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2035/bck96qbmkkgrhqyhcgequu6.jpg
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9062/bck94cbgkkgrhqqhcqeqnqo.jpg

Now I can understand, is this Space Impact from N-Gage DVD or it other limited N-Gage Space Impact. :D
(It looks like gold press kit, because it have miniDVD, but it haven't "Not For Sale" mark, so maybe it retail reliase.)

[WindowsKiller]

It's rare, yes. But you should know that it's not an official N-Gage game. It's not from Nokia at all. I bought mine for $50 by the way. $404 is quite a rip-off...

[DirkDagger]

Yes mate, I knew it, but now it is really hard to find. =\ There are 5 Bidderss (15 bids) who want buy this game for 300-400$. So if I want to sell it, I can do it lol ;D

[Retrogamer72]

Wow so your the one who paid that much for it. I wish I had bought the other 5 of these that this guy had for like $30-$80 each about a year ago. Now I know why I've been waiting over 2 months for you to complete our deal...

[Bojay1997]

It's rare, yes. But you should know that it's not an official N-Gage game. It's not from Nokia at all. I bought mine for $50 by the way. $404 is quite a rip-off...

You have posted this several times. What evidence do you have that this is not an "official N-Gage game"? I agree that it wasn't a retail release and that it never went through ESRB certification, but that doesn't mean it's not a legitimate pre-release version.

[DirkDagger]

All nokia pre-reliase versions (and other betas and gold kits too) have numbers (look at my last xanady loose gold - its number 0004) and Not for sale mark (they havent logo on mmc, like in retail version), and as u can see this Space Impact MMC havent any numbers or NotForSale marks but it have logo like in retail version, so thats mean that it is custom MMC (looks box and miniDVD paperbox is custom too) and as I think on this MMC is Space Impact from Nokia N-Gage DVD. =)

Ok, but that's not evidence that this is not a legitimate pre-release game, just that it doesn't follow the standard Nokia protocols and may have been pressed by a third party with Nokia's permission. That doesn't make it any less collectible. The developer clearly has a relationship with Nokia as the new version of this game has been released for Symbian phones through Nokia's on-line store.

You have posted this several times. What evidence do you have that this is not an "official N-Gage game"?
I talked to Nokia representatives while I was writing an N-Gage book many moons ago. The book was never finished due to lack of time, but at least I know about every single N-Gage game ever officially developed.

In other words, you have no evidence.

On the one of Dev MMC (Blank DSK D64) I found unreliased Nokia N-Gage Game. I think It more rare then Virtua Cop, Alien Front or Taito Memories because I dont see it or read about it before.
Anyone will be able to guess the name of this game? Hope WindowsKiller can, lol. :D If no one guesses right, I'll tell its name. :)
P.S> Looks this game can start only on this dev MMC. Soon I will contact with my friend an hope he will "fix" it. :)

I'm not even interested in guessing the name of the game. Funny how you can think that this game which you don't want to name could be more rare than Virtua Cop, Alien Front and Taito Memories if you don't even own those three. IMO, you should calm down a bit and stop talking big.

And stop mentioning my name. I'm not interested in your N-Gage collection, nor am I interested in talking to you. Thanks.

Lol ok. :)

And I write your nickname because u say that have all n-gage games ("exept some betas" ) and knew all about them. :) So I think u can easy say the name of the game. :D

[DirkDagger]

Game called "Marbles" and must be reliased by Sega in 2003. Looks only I have this sample. :)

Hey Dudes! Any updates? :)

[esquire]

So how many Press Kit discs were there?


Esquire has 11 (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1506925&postcount=712):
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 IIIf anyone has any and wants to rip the disc images, I'd be totally willing to host them up until my provider yells at me for using too much bandwidth (which is unlikely). Lord knows this stuff should be preserved, especially since those press kits tend to have a ton of screenshots, videos and high quality artwork that just simply isn't available elsewhere.

I'm particularly interested in the Warhammer, Civilization and Catan press kit discs. Just in case, I guess I'll be watching eBay for the next few months hoping to get lucky.

Hello everyone. I wanted to let you know that I am going to be selling all my press kits listed above, as well as my Pathway to Glory Preview and Tomb Raider Display. If anyone is interested, please PM with a nice offer as I will be listing these on ebay in the next few days.

[pr3ston]

[DirkDagger]

I love collecting NGE NFRs. Its really fun. :)

[DirkDagger]

Hey Dudes! Any updates? :)

[Steve W]

I'm not a hardcore collector like many people in this thread. I've only got around 42 games. My N-Gage QD doesn't even work anymore, my brother borrowed it and of course killed it like anything electronic that he touches. Anyhow, I managed to find these in a thrift store today.
http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp222/StevePW/Ngagebinders.jpg

They were 35¢ each. One is still shrinkwrapped and the other was opened by some little brats or someone. The dividers say Device, Games, Online, and Misc. There was a third binder there, but someone had taken the dividers out and shredded what was left of the shrinkwrap, so I left it there.
