GRcade Retro Gaming Chat

I have some boxed N64 games, I have a sealed Pokemon snap , a good condition smash bros and then a bunch of OK boxed things but I have about 100 loose carts, for me though I never really set out to get a N64 collection , I fell on a lot of them while looking for SNES games and such, I find once you start getting a bit of stuff for any system it starts comepling you to grab more , heck reading what people get for N64 here makes me stop and think hey you've not grabbed much N64 stuff recently you should get something.

Got any decent doublers or anything that you'd be willing to part with?

I think most of the things I have doubles off are the more rubbish things, i know i had a fair few carts of Top Gear Rally for who knows what reason. At the moment all my N64 stuff is packed away so not 100% sure what I have. If I had anything id be more of a swaper than a seller. Its a busy time at the moment my girlfriend has a Ilizarov cage on her leg, my dad has had heart issus due to blood clots and my daughters in the second year of her A levels doing coursework, so I have stopped with youtube and pushed a lot of my gaming stuff to the side, im proberbly not going to be doing that much with anything now till summer, I want to make more videos and take pics of my collection and go back on instergram and start doing retro reviews and such but i think its proberbly off the cards till summer

Pulled out my N64 as I'm planning on selling it and the games to put towards my Switch fund. Bit of an issue with it resetting on it's own so I'm going to give it a through cleaning tomorrow and hope that does the trick.

Has anyone else had this issue? Even if not, has anyone replaced their power supply lead for an N64 and is there anywhere other than eBay to go for one?

You could try a few of the independent shops online - they might be able to offer you something. Failing that, eBay’s your best bet.

Same question to you - got any games you’d be willing to part with separately to the main package?

[Drumstick]

Any decent CIBs?

[Corazon de Leon]

CIBs are surprisingly difficult to come by for the N64 (and I presume the SNES as well) nowadays. Especially in the condition I know you'll be looking for.

I don't think your rough pricings on the previous page are a million miles off what you'll end up paying, but it may take a little while to find really good condition games for some of them. Hopefully you can get a nice little collection going - N64 gear looks excellent on a shelf, IMO.

If there's anything I've got that you want sure, but it's not a particularly eclectic collection so I imagine you'll have most of it. Pokemon Stadium (w/transfer pack), Majoras Mask, Mario 64, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64, Pokemon Stadium 2 (Last three w/o boxes) is what I've dug out so far but I'm sure I've got Banjo-Kazooie round here somewhere too. I have three pads (two boxed), rumble pack, memory pack and the expansion pack too FWIW.

I've got some Gameboy, GBA and Gamecube stuff I'm probably gonna offload if that's of any interest too?

[Corazon de Leon]

Alas, I've got all of that kit unfortunately. It's a good collection though - you could play for years with Majora's Mask and Perfect Dark alone, let alone the other games.

What 'Cube stuff have you got?

[Cheeky Devlin]

Got myself an Xbox Component cable to replace the horrible composite one I've been using.

It's so crisp and clean.

Nice one, CD - it's a good bit of kit. I have a component cable for my OG Xbox, too.

But I have an unmodded PAL model and so it doesn't make *that* much difference .

Yeah would be interested in GB, GBA and GC.

Any chance of a preferential rate on the Banjo Kazooie box and manual? I lost mine. I have a couple of N64 games like that (including Smash 64) were the boxes were tossed by family or whatever, and it's becoming increasingly unobtainable to re-complete them.

Apart from MK64 (which, amazingly, I think is boxed), I don't actually have any of those titles.

Most playable (and, ashamedly, barely ever played via Mario 64 DS) is probably Mario 64 but interested in uploading some 'mons to Pokemon Stadium.

Can anyone remember if Pokemon Stadium supports Gold/Silver and Crystal as well?

Speaking of which, Crystal CIB is now going for upwards of £70. Nothing seems to be going down. It's super tempting to offload some of these titles for things I want because for what were £25 games, prices are getting stupid.

Majora's Mask it tempting, but I'm currently working through it on 3DS. It's hard to justify some of these classics, even, because I own them in other formats. That's probably the only rule I follow - if I own a game in some manifestation, even if it isn't perfect or markedly different (i.e. a port), I struggle to justify the original version.

That's probably my next step to be fair. See if I can get some of the HD resolutions out of it.

If Sykes has PoR I am taking first dibs.

Interested in Stadium CIB.

Pokemon Stadium 2 does, the original doesn't.

[Cumberdanes]

Picked up a couple of XBOX games yesterday Van Helsing for £1 and Mat Hoffman 2 for £2. I already have Mat Hoffman 2 but the manual was missing and now all my games are CiB.

Interested in Stadium CIB.

Am I being an idiot - what is PoR?

Path of Radiance I assume.

[Drumstick]

That's why Devlin won GGGC VIII and you got nowhere near.

[Corazon de Leon]

Did you ever win a GGGC?

[Psychic]

What is a CIB?

Why you gotta burn me like that bruh?
