Is the response time fast enough for if you had something like a 360 hooked-up through VGA? The listed 16 ms time makes me a little leery.

I have a large PS2 with the hard drive and network add-on I want to get rid of. Unfortunately it's going out on me, so I think I'll try to trade it in at EB or something. I was wondering if formatting the drive was possible, because I can't recall if it holds sensitive info (credit card information and whatnot) from when I played FF Online.

The idea of a PS2 + add-ons + several games + money = PS3 makes me hurt inside a little.

Dhex, are you getting rid of PC games as well?

I'll take Ikaruga. I may as well since I'll be moving my DC to the other room soon.

dhex, I never saw that copy of Project Snowblind. You haven't still got it around, have you?

If not, it's cool.

I'm considering trading away my WCIII Battle Chest, WoW, and The Burning Crusade, if anyone would be interested.

I've still got Dreamfall, too.

I'm going to be all over that PC stuff. And that Zelda Collection, bank account willing.

I've been trading newer PC titles for older ones over at Goozex, and just been on the hunt for them in general, so I can get some no cd cracks and turn my laptop, with its mighty ati x300 graphics card, into a gaming rig.

OK, a full list of shit:
So Deets and Simplico offered me a bunch of dollars and bought all of that shit. Sorry, Dess! I will do whatever you ask as an apology ok?

Shaper you can still have my micro shit for like $40 now because you lost Umihara. I should probably PM you this.

Shapermc · Hot Sake! Joined: 14 Oct 2004 Posts: 6279

Are you willing to break up packs? I really want Yggdra Union and Umihara, but have most of the other things in the packs. If not, I may be willing to take your Micro Pack.

If you want to play make a deal shoot me a PM

Alright, fine, I'll start posting some of the other stuff I'm willing to trade off. Note that I'm trying to limit the amount of my crap, so I'd only trade for stuff I have sincere interest in. Or just stuff I want to play, whatever.

Alright!

First, I have a few non-pal games.

Zombie Vs Ambulance, sealed, PS2 (JAP)
Megaman X collection, sealed GC (US)
Policenauts, not sealed, saturn(JAP)
A bunch of region free DS games.
Metroid Prime Hunters, Polarium, Pac N Roll, Megaman ZX, Nintendogs, Sprung

Some PC games
Interstate 76
City Life
Freedom Force + CnC Renegade

And now, this stuff:

Bart's House of Weirdness, this is very rare according to the wikipedia entry. It's also unusual that it was only released for DOS and was created by Konami. One of the better simpsons games.

The Macintosh Games Bible! Chuck full of information about commercial mac games with personality from the authors. Full of lovely interviews, with Chris Crawford saying SimCity was the last innovative game, the myst brothers saying they were working on a new project and would never maked a Myst sequel (lol!) and I'm pretty sure Will Wright said an embarrasing thing or two, too. Comes with a CD.

Official NP SMB3 players guide, prima 007 players guide and an old issue of C&VG.

The first Kings Quest novel! This is the first of an epic series, apparently, I've only ever seen a second installment, though.

Dragonquest silver slime controller, still sealed!!! RARE IMPORT OOP L@@K

Limited edition (only 75000 copies!) of Judgement Rites. Features the CD-ROM version of the game, one of the most popualr episodes on VHS, an official pin, plus a bonus CD full of multimedia stuff including interviews that were never seen prior to this release. Yay!

Alright, that's all so far.

I actually put Polarium (and all my other DS games, so if anyone wants one tell me now) on ebay last night, and took it down for you this morning, so you better have something good because I don't get my 50 cents back.

There isn't really anything there I want Sad

actually I would take Red Steel but there is no wiiloader yet and I would also take the Space Channel 5 games but my ps2 is pal only.

I don't even know what 98% of the other stuff is! gamerankings says mostly bad stuff! maybe that manga or an anime is decent, i'll have to check i guess

I am now the delighted owner of Crazy Bacon Lips' SFF SNES! The excitement tangibly bobs around in the air, like my unskilled self playing Umihara.

But people, you don't understand: Bacon Lips packages with candy. You're just about to toss the styrofoam peanuts and mints start pouring out, like manna from the USPS! Fed Ex got nothing on you, Lipsy!

I'm looking for a few PAL games that I want to play but don't know if they'll run on my system. I'd like copies of Terranigma (SNES), Twin Bee Rainbow Bell (SNES), and possibly Breath of Fire III (PSP). How readily available are any of these and how much do you think they'd cost? Also, would the SNES games mentioned run on a US system with a converter?

I don't know if you realize this or not but the PSP is, inherently, region-free. You can put UMDs (games only, not movies) of any region in your PSP and they will play fine.

Interesting. See, I've got an adapter that lets me play Japanese games on an American system, but I'm not sure if it works for PAL games or not. Seems like it might, but I have no way to test it. In any case, I'm interested in either/both of those games, so someone respond please!

Yeah, it won't. This is where that whole PAL 60hz thing comes into play, and the PAL AR2 somehow provided a solution for that. Actually, the only thing JP adapter is doing is providing physical compatibility for the JP games, cause they won't fit into the console as is (you can also get into the SNES and cut out a couple tabs that are blocking them, then they'll fit and work fine), but they run on a 50hz system just like American games.

Taking pictures for this thread I ran across my trade haul. I decided to take a picture! If you're interested in anything, have no idea what something is, or would like to make fun of my game selection, let me know and I'll break it down for you!

Alternate version!

Hey Shaper, what are you looking for in trade for Red Steel, assuming Cycle doesn't want it?

I traded in my copy for Twilight Princess as it seemed to be the game to get at the time; like every other Zelda after Link to the Past I cleared three dungeons and completely lost interest. Meanwhile, I've remembered what fun the sword-less parts of Red Steel were, and sortof want it back.
