It was complete, but also had a 4 page stapled hint sheet from Sega of America with hand drawn maps. It is so informal and unprofessional it has unique charm compared to the over the top industry of today. Have any of you seen any Phantasy Star hint sheets like this or any other Sega of America hint sheets for any other games?

I will actually scan these and drop a link here in this thread for any of you that want to print them off.

Well, two of the people made a statement that their respective mothers still had all their old NES games. It took all I had to bite my lip and not invite myself over to their mother’s house to riffle through their old NES games. So right there are two untapped boxes of NES games sitting in someone’s attic. I was always under the opinion that by now in 2013, that most of these type of situations did not exists, as most of these games would have been sold in a garage sale by now, but this proved me wrong, that even in this day and age there are in fact untapped boxes of NES games in peoples attics across the US. I just know there is a Stadium Events in one of those boxes! ]]> Classic Gaming Flam http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?167814-Hope-springs-eternal-for-the-NES-game-collector http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?167808-A-N-N-E-Kickstarter-now-has-a-350-000-SNES-real-cartridge-prequel!!!&goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 04:22:01 GMT Not much time left to get to 350,000$ but man this would be awesome!!

There are a few ways such as the various gameboy models themselves, the Super Game boy on the SNES, GBA compatible DS Models, Gamecube Player, perhaps others I can't think of and obviously not all methods work with all games.

I find when I'm at home I just use the Gameboy Player on my Gamecube. the only I time I actually use one of my GBA SP's is if I'm out for a bit or away on a trip. I just prefer playing all games on a tv screen with a GC controller and it supports all 3 Gameboy game formats. ]]> Classic Gaming Atarileaf http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?167794-How-do-you-prefer-to-play-GB-GBC-GBA-games http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?167792-Worst-PS1-RPGs&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 09:58:13 GMT What are the (in your opinion) worst original PlayStation role-playing games?

What is the biggest price drop you have been able to haggle or achieve?

Personally it was $500 down to $175 for a large lot of TG16 stuff. It took almost a year, numerous attempts, and several bidders who dropped the ball. ]]> Classic Gaming counterfeit3w http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?167779-Biggest-Price-Drop-You-Have-Haggled http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?167778-Longest-Time-Spent-Working-A-Deal&goto=newpost Sat, 18 May 2013 09:50:13 GMT What is the longest time you have spent working out a deal for video games?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_Kong_(video_game)

The way that these articles are presently written, it suggests Coleco never released Donkey Kong for the Adam computer as a result of Coleco allegedly delaying Nintendo's deal with Atari to distribute the FamiCom to the USA. However, that was ultimately not the case, as Atari's then CEO Ray Kassar was let go two months (August 1983) after that CES hot water moment.

Coleco's Adam version of DK does exist, and it was indeed delayed for a time, only finally getting its release in July 1984, when Warner Bros. sold off Atari to Jack Tramiel, thus rendering obsolete the original negotiation the two companies had signed with Nintendo back in 1981 (wherein Coleco was granted the license to publish the game for consoles while Atari had done the same for computers).

I'm also composing this post in order to find out: which musical similarities from Koshiro's older works were evident in his newer works? For example, do any riffs from songs heard in LotW (the themes of Xemn, Meyna, Lyll, Pochi, etc.) had found themselves into any BGM within any of the compositions from any of the three Streets of Rage titles (like "Dreamer" from SoR2)?
