So I got some Atari games from Shopgoodwill.com and they they packed them in the second most ridiculous way I've ever encountered. They just straight dumped them in a box, like, not even any newspaper or anything. The thing is though, these guys are covered in some kinda oil. I'm guessing some kinda machine lubricant or something similar to that but they are gross, even some of the labels seem pretty soaked in the stuff. Checking the pictures on the site and it looks like they were like this prior to them listing but they didn't make any mention of it in the description. So I guess if you're buying from them avoid the Charlotte, NC store, because those guys are goobers. Anyways anyone have an idea on the best way to clean these carts up? I was thinking Cat Litter or Rice to try to soak up the oil but don't know if there is a better way. Anyone ever have weird gross smelly oily stuff spill all over their games before?

El Estrago Bonito posted:Are you sure you didn't order them from some kind of Cold War era military dump? I hope it is somehow not that stuff, it sounds like a pain to clean. I put them in a box of shredded paper for now, it'll probably somehow make them worse. Quiet Feet posted:Still its a super pretty game and the soundtrack is beautiful. It's like a more action oriented Solar Jetman, which is another game that is balls hard and apparently only I like. There are still new/sealed copies floating around for about $20 if you're into that sort of thing. I like Solar Jet Man, I liked flying around in the little egg.

Captain Rufus posted:Also speaking of things looking great in screenshots Nostalgia Nerd just did a righteous video on the Master System: https://youtu.be/ssOxXKPSNmM This was a well done and informative video, I learned a lot about the little Master System that could. Ineffiable posted:When you're an angsty teen, it seems cool and funny. When you grow up though, you realize it's kind of meaningless, and there's better things to do with your time. It just seems like a dumb thing to try and hate on something that some people out there like doing. I really wish this was true

falz posted:So somehow this manual has all of its pages stuck together, more than just water damage, like someone spooged all over it or something. It's already pretty hosed up so I said gently caress it and steamed it. A few pages open up now but still another handful are stuck together. Any magic tricks to unglue/unspooge paper pages? Wait, what? Is there a way to fix water damaged booklets? My small collection of CIB Saturn/Sega CD games got damaged in a flood a few years ago and I've stubbornly held on to them. Been thinking about replacing or just getting rid of some of them but Dragon Force is pretty expensive so if I could repair the booklet that'd be swell oh dear some of these games went up in price, Mystaria, D, and, Panzer Dragoon 1 & 2 are a little higher than I thought  why is Virtual Hydlide going for $40+???

I wrote off those manuals a long time ago, I was only holding on to them because I never got around to replacing them. Was thinking of replacing the cases with Jewel or DVD cases too since the Saturn/CD ones crack if you look at them wrong.LORD OF BOOTY posted:ProJared, a decently popular youtuber, did a video on it a while back and that probably drew some attention to it. Combine with a small print run and... yeah. drat youtubers

Random Stranger posted:Why do I do this to myself? I made my classic error (for about the tenth time) of poking through cheap auctions on eBay and just tossing small bids on anything that looked interesting thinking that "Oh, I'll get outbid on most of these and I'll be happy with the two or three I get." This is why I have several hundred Atari 2600 games

Quiet Feet posted:Build a coffee table, or dog house. I'm going to build a suit out of Combat carts like the dude who did it with Mario/Duck Hunt I actually really enjoy some of the 2600 games, not just because of nostalgia either. I find it interesting to play older games and kinda see how their design choices influenced modern games. Games like Adventure and Swordquest and how they influenced things like Zelda. Or Pitfall being an early platformer/sidescroller. Even though the 2600 version is gimped, Montezuma's Revenge being kinda an early Metroid type game is cool. Of course there is a mountain of garbage and downright silly games to sift through to get to the good ones, but even the bad ones can be entertaining. Revenge of The Beefsteak Tomatoes? Of course I want that If you're interested you'd really be better off just emulating or buying one of the collections on PS4/XBone. The 2600 is kinda trash but I love it anyway. Random Stranger posted:Then don't. While the VCS did have some interesting arcade style games on them, they're readily available in other packages and emulation is pretty much perfect. I agree, even though I MUST HAVE THE CARTS

Random Stranger posted:I'm not sure if I'd say Adventure really influenced Zelda. The 2600 was released in Japan but had pretty much 0 traction there. I think Zelda just grew from some of the same roots that Adventure did. You're probably right, it just always felt that Zelda would be the next logical step after Adventure. Swordquest would probably hold up a lot better if you didn't need the comics to figure out what you were doing, it was a little too ambitious for it's time. Same with Raiders, you can see a good game trying to get out but the technical limitations of the 2600 just held it back. Also wasn't there a thing with E.T. that the guy making it was trying to use some "advanced" techniques but couldn't hammer it out in the short time they gave him to make the game? I agree that the simplistic games hold up the best, Space Invaders is ace, Yars' Revenge is a lot of fun, I still enjoy Breakout, and Vanguard was a game I forgot about but ended up enjoying a lot more than I thought I would. Good luck with Pitfall, love it, but I've always been kinda bad at it.

Xenomrph posted:I have a 2600 because I inherited it from my father, he spent a good amount of money on his when he bought it back when it was new, and went all out on a bunch of peripherals and poo poo. While the 7800 is backwards compatible with the 2600, it is not with the 5200. The 5200 is massive and the carts are too, they wouldn't even fit into a 7800. i wish it was though

Is the Sega Trio still the best go to for an all-in-one Genesis/CD/32x power adapter?

falz posted:It's the only one I'm aware of. I got mine a few years ago, I understand that it went up a lot in price since then so unsure if worth the $. I could have swore someone in the last thread made a power strip for all of their consoles and had a switch for each console they could just flip to power them on. Alucardd posted:An alternative is the RetroDC which can also be used almost as a universal adapter as well. He only makes them in preorder batches which the next one is in August: This is awesome, thanks! Sucks it's not available until August but since the Sega Trio is perpetually out of stock I guess I'll have to wait.

falz posted:Maybe, but that would likely be a huge power strip with a billion wall warts, vs one big wall wart to fan out to their consoles. It was pretty big but it was all hardwired in, so no wall warts or anything like that. I wish I could remember who posted it because I always thought it was a neat idea.

Can I play Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter on the PS4 Ryan?!? HUH? CAN I?Mak0rz posted:A better way to phrase that would be "is there any reason to revisit SMB 1 or 2 now that we have All Stars," in which case the answer is yes because All Stars broke some poo poo and lost some of its original charm in the upgrades so I rescind my original statement. I haven't played the NES SMB 1, 2, or 3 in so long that I'd probably be terrible at them. I'm so used to All-Stars since I've just been playing that version since 1993.
