No, it's the worst game ever made and is the sole reason that the video game crash occurred, completely destroying Atari and the rest of the video game industry until our glorious savior Nintendo arrived riding on a majestic R.O.B. (I attempted to get an image generator to create a picture of Shigeru Miyamoto riding into battle on top of a Robotic Operating Buddy and the results seemed to not take anything from my prompt words.)

Watched the Tetsuwan Atom episode of Famidaily a couple days ago and it's funny how Astro Boy had one of the more mediocre Famicom games and then just a couple decades later it would have one of the GBA's best games in Omega Factor, also I now suspect a couple things in the latter game might have been homages to the former

Its generally a given that by and large popular games aren't worth much because no rarity is really there and sports games are even less valuable because huge print runs and people generally want as close to current year sportsmans in game and like a modern TV broadcast just without all the beer and auto parts ads. (Or is it all sports betting now?) I mean these are most of my valuable games and they are almost exclusively niche genres on unpopular systems. That imo are worth the 25-50 usd I paid for them ignoring inflation. Because eff inflation and i'm a cheap bastard. It is funny as heck seeing that most are 90s titles back when every bone head was buying up comics and Beanie Babies thinking they would pay for their kid's college (before college went really nuts pricing no less..) and games I bought at msrp or less just to play and enjoy are worth prices nobody but a complete numpty would pay. (There are a few bigger ticket games I've missed because they sold out before I had money or prices at the time were even too much or a friend convinced me not to buy or whatever. I extremely doubt stuff like Little Samson or SMS Buster Douglas Boxing would have ever been in the cards even at extreme clearance...) A shame I didn't see Parish at Retroworld Expo this year so I could apologize a bit for being really cranky about RPGs back in the day. But FF8 hurt me ok? And Fallout 2 was so drat good! I wasn't medicated so I was overly passionate in a bad way. Still, I may have been a tiny bit of influence for him who is in this thread to become more open to games and systems besides just his own childhood ones. I mean there are good games on bad systems and vice versa. I am almost certain the first retro game Podcaster Shane Monroe isn't here though. Dude was butthurt af about the very term Podcast. But he was a crazy Amiga person and there is ZERO sanity to be found in that scene. Not then not when the machine was active and not now. His blind play of Chrono Trigger was funny as hell because it made 2001 era people lose their goddamn minds over a late 30s or so computer guy just absolutely taking the piss out of it. (Nintendo fans are nearly as nanners as Amiga people. But more akin to Swifties because even being a stan of the biggest thing just seems to not be enough unless everyone is praising it. Idgi. Have a sense of humor about pop culture crap!) But now that I've yammered on/flashed my collection dick I actually have a question. A question about taking care of my balls.  Specifically this thing I paid more than I should but much less than I could have but I do have 3 other track ball devices it might help too. Any good guides on cleaning/maintaining these things? Do I just do the ol IPA 91 Q tip like its an old ball mouse? Is it safe to retrobright or Magic Eraser the ball itself? Do they need waxing or whatever the hell people do to bowling balls? I could use some good wisdom. (And then just go back to doing 90% of my retro gaming on a Vita or Android device because its easier and the Pi version of Batocera did some resolution nonsense with the most recent updates even though it starts booting in 1080p before dropping to a much lower res and no in system menu wants to fix it.  )Vvvv thats one of the other ones I have. Apparently its worth a few bucks as opposed to the system which is a big pos even before you get to the stupid rear end joysticks.

i need to figure out what to do with my 5200 trackball, myself. i bought it, plugged it in, it worked, i played half a life's worth of centipede, then the first time i gave it a real spin to zip over to the side of the screen to get under a spider, it zipped me over there, then immediately died, refusing to register any more inputs from the ball itself. I'd killed it.

I've got an offline character for Phantasy Star Online on my Gamecube, around 170 hours in trying to get through ultimate difficulty as a RAmar. Just had a Frozen Shooter drop and got a Luminous Field sitting in my bank waiting for me to get to level 101. Nobody is going to know what this means unless you are really into this game, some crazy rare drops. Hoping the Luminous Field defense boost gets me to the point where some of these bosses aren't one shotting me. ( Stuck on the 2nd phase of the Monitor boss and the owl looking boss on episode 2. ) Frozen Shooter pretty much breaks the game  Edit: Oh also, the reason I am playing this on Gamecube is because I thought it was impossible to play on the Dreamcast. I remember a couple of years ago asking if there was a way to play offline and most people said no and it was impossible to google search any relevant information. But CDRomance has serial numbers and access keys that let you get the game going offline. Captain Rufus posted:Its generally a given that by and large popular games aren't worth much because no rarity is really there I don't know, Super Metroid is like $200-$400 cib now... Also Pokemon games. I get pretty annoyed when some common million+ selling game is $100+. katkillad2 fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Sep 22, 2023 |

I replaced the batteries in a bunch of my dead gameboy cartridges, then saw how much they sell for on eBay with new batteries in and promptly sold them all to buy a used everdrive gb x7 so I don’t have to gently caress around with making .pocket files and still have RTC in my precious pokemen games The analogue pocket might be my favourite handheld thing now

I have a GBS-control that I would like to switch over to a USB-based power supply. The power supply it came with has a 5.5mm/2.1mm positive polarity DC barrel jack. Can I just get this adapter and use a USB-C cable to a PD charger? https://a.co/d/i8KDblv

Hm perhaps not then. The wall wart that comes with it is rated at 5V and 1.5A output. E: the product page even states it isn't for 5V applications. Good looking out, I will find one properly rated.

Yeah I'm finding more cables that look appropriate so I'm going that route rather than a dongle. I have a slim PS2 setup that uses a router w/ a 2.5" hdd plugged into it. Then I have the video from the console going out to a gbs-c then to an iPad screen using a vga>hdmi dongle. Things that need usb power: -router -vga>hdmi dongle -screen Things that need 120: -ps2 -gbs-c I figure if I can get the gbs-c on usb power then I can throw all four usb devices onto a 4x1 PD charger I have and the ps2 can stay on 120v power. Then I just need a single (e: as in a single wall panel with two plugs) outlet for the stupid setup that I made for fun. DR FRASIER KRANG fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Sep 24, 2023 |

Completed my childhood Genesis game trilogy today by getting a copy of Tinhead! These were 3 games I owned (besides Sonic) and I thought they would be fun to have for nostalgia’s sake.  To play on the other hand…
