Not if I only had one copy. Although if I had it back then the box and the manual would probably long gone or in terrible condition :dread:

Got a few little bits today

Star Wars Rogue Squadron for the N64 Cart only for £4F1 Pole Position 64 for the N64 American Cart only for £2

Blood Omen 2 for original Xbox complete for 50 pence
and Genma Onimusha for original Xbox complete for 50 Pence

Was messing around with Satellaview stuff last night

I didn't realise BS Zelda was a Zelda 1 remake in the link to the past engine. They should really stick this out on the switch.

Would love to try it one day, it'd be a genuinely cool thing they could do with NSO.

Yep, the next module for the Polymega system will allow N64 games to be run. Looks well smart!

Love the look of polymega stuff but always looked like something a rich man would use to flex rather than being practical.

Ive always wanted a Polymega, its just so nice looking and now its getting an N64 module, if its up to snuff I dont think Ill be able to resist. I just love the idea of being able to play N64 games in an easy way on modern TVs

Playing WWF No Mercy properly for the first time

The single player championship modes really like to strawberry float you over with handicap matches don't they? Infuriating

Great game though

Looking for some advice please.

I've been considering selling my Game Boy micro and a few games including Wario Ware, Advance Wars and Zelda ALTTP to CEX. I'm pleasantly surprised at some of the prices I'd get. If I hold on for now are the prices likely to go up, down or remain similar?

Prices always go up.

Thought that was the case, thanks.

Went in a pawn store today after work and they Had Pokemon Gold, Red, Blue, Yellow in for £20 each loose cart but had Silver and had it priced up for £10 loose so I grabbed Silver.

Were they all genuine? I'm convinced I see more fake loose cart pokemon games than real ones

They're not that expensive if they're loose, those prices seem about right, but yes, there are a lot of fakes. These seemed to be way more common around GBA though as I ended up with one back then and since then the fakes for collectable titles has exploded. The vast majority of GBA pokemon games on ebay etc are likely fake, ranging from obvious to pretty convincing (I'm thinking Fire Red / Leaf Green etc but also unrelated titles like Metroid Zero Mission and even more obscure ones like Metal Gear for GBC - I saw this counterfeit in a gameboy classic cart shell in grey, it still sold below the going rate :fp:

).

Every single one of them was real, its a good shop and they let me proper look at the merchandise.... I know what you mean though I have been to more than a few shops that are absolutely full of fakes, there used to be this one shop that was full of fake GBA games and they were not subtle with it 5 copies of Fire Emblem in the same glass case is a good sign they could be fake, I wouldn't try to pass fake stuff as real but if I was going to do so then I would just put 1 out seeing piles of rare games altogether especially multiple copies of the same thing is very likely to make people be a bit more cautious.

Yeah I wouldnt feel good about buying much GBA wise from Ebay at all as I think with GBA you really need to look at them carefully and study them and you cant do that from what are often poor pictures.

I've seen two fake copies of the same game before sold side-by-side and with completely different labels. A fake GBA game too that wasn't even a GBA cart, next to some real GBA carts so it was obviously the wrong size/shape! :lol:

It's illegal to sell counterfeit goods even if they don't know it is, so, it's on then really to know what they are buying especially for something which can get so expensive.
