I wanted to buy FFV gba but from what I seen 99% of the most visible sellers are just pirated carts with a label on it.

i buy complete gba games to cut down on bootleg carts. its not really worth the effort to print up a fake but real looking box and manual, so youre usually getting a real cart

i forgot about these facts somehow... you could do transfer from GBA pokemon game to ones on DS as well right?

I believe its still technically possible to transfer a pokemon from gold/silver to X/Y through like 5 consoles and 2 different online services....which is badass

you cant transfer pokemon from gold/silver, they changed the way all the data and stats work in the gba games so they didnt let you

That's a shame. FFV GBA is by far the best version of the game

It's really good, the job system gives you a lot of freedom and the GBA version's script is a lot of fun

This was the first FF game I played ,and then I played through 1-6, save 5, a decade ago, and had a blast. I never had a sony system though so I couldnt continue, but then when I saw this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMNsXZve5MY I was so captivated that I marathoned the rest of the series. I figured theres no way such nonsensical dialogue could be comprehensible even with knowledge of the previous games, and it turns out I was right. FFXIII, LR, X-2 and VII are the best FFs, btw.

I moved into a new place a few weeks ago that's a lot roomier, so I decided to setup my NES SNES and n64 for the first time in almost a decade to a nice CRT I got off craigslist for free. It really does look better and the zero input lag is very nice.

But when I cracked open my plastic bins I found that the following are missing / stolen:

SNES:
Chrono trigger
Super Mario world
Yoshis island
Illusion of Gaia
Secret of Mana

NES:
Battletoads
Tecmo Super Bowl
Super Mario Bros / duck hunt
Contra

GB:
Final fantasy adventure
Super Mario Land 1 AND 2

I'm pretty sure the last I saw most of these was 2 apartments ago. Not sure if i believe the guy who still lives there that none of these is there. I still have a lot of good ones, and I'm playing FF1 and Super Metroid, but god drat it sucked noticing all of the above was gone. Im surprised ff4 and 6 aren't missing too.

Edit: Just noticed Metroid Prime Trilogy is missing too, gently caress

Runnels returned to World Championship Wrestling in 1999, filming several vignettes for a fantastical, face-painted character named Seven. These vignettes contained ominous footage of Rhodes in full makeup standing outside a child's bedroom window. The gimmick was reported to have been based on "The Strangers" from the 1998 film noir Dark City. The character was dropped after Turner Standards and Practices expressed concern that this gimmick could be misinterpreted as a child abductor.

The gimmick was reported to have been based on "BadGame.net" from the former BYOB moderator Danbo Daxter.

Upon further investigation of the missing games, I have found that my brother was stealing and selling them and many other things from my parents house where I was keeping them. I'm down almost $1400 worth of stuff. Happy holidays :(

I mod consoles as a home business. Just today, I sold 2 genesis model 1s with s-video and stereo rca, a nomad, and a sega cd model 2. I've got a sweet rear end n64 with an RGB mod and plenty of other poo poo I'm working on. So, yes, I love old rear end videogames and having a genesis everdrive with every single loving game made for that system, ever.

how much for an hdmi model 1 genesis. i have xmas shopping to do.
