Whenever I put a clean game into my NES and get a flashing screen and blinking light, this has always worked for me:

Make sure the cartridge is very close to the edge of the tray you push down...

I guess this is one area where you and I are unable to relate. In my opinion, a favorites list can never have too much pinball. :p



Glad you don't think I was stretching a bit adding them....

Yeah, I was stoked when I saw Castle of Shikigami III put on the shelf, which is a game I've been trying to keep an eye out for a while. I also didn't realize that Reika from Time Gal had a cameo in...

Honestly, I'm a big fan of Fatal Labyrinth. I actually put it in my list of finalists I was planning on choosing from (even though I knew I wasn't going to choose it). The "being better as a game"...

^ For a lot of games, this is true. Some games break away from many of the formulas though. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is something I feel like I bring up all the time, but that game relies much...

First pickups of 2021!

Last week, I went to a pawn shop close to my work for the first time in a long time. A while back, they moved all of the games behind the counter, and because of the glare...

^ I think I got somewhere around half way through that game but have never finished it. I remember liking the atmosphere, but I didn't really enjoy playing it too much. I feel like I should play...

Got these from a local bookstore a few days ago (technically in 2020, so I'm putting it in this thread):

(Heh. Looks like I suck at taking...

Sneaked in two more games before the year ended:

27. Sonic 3D Blast - Saturn

I played this on Genesis years ago and remembered not liking it much, but I found it much more enjoyable this time...

^ No problem. You do make some good points. You can make your list a little easier next year if you want, but ultimately it's up to the Santa to reach out if they have any doubt about finding items...

^ Yes, I knew someone else would step forward with this opinion!

That's pretty cool. I don't think I've come across any sealed games for my recipients yet. There's a local game shop here that has a section of sealed games, but they tend to price them at about ten...

Dang, you plan on using/wearing all of that memorabilia simultaneously, right?

These are the (non-Sega-16 Secret Santa) Christmas presents I got (that are appropriate for this thread):
...

I keep meaning to play Dragon Quest VIII but end up playing something else whenever I'm in the mood to play a JRPG. This serves as another reminder to play it.

This is what I got:
...

This could be useful if it's compatible with chicken that isn't from KFC.

I haven't received tracking information from everyone. Honestly, I wasn't too worried about it considering the people who are participating. If you haven't received anything yet, feel free to let me...

Yeah, shipping sucks this year. Plus, the weather on the east coast probably isn't helping things.



Of course! Think you might join us again next year?

I also received mine!

Blaster Master: Blasting Again... that's a game that I remember being terrible, but I've been meaning to revisit it because I don't feel like I gave it a fair shot. Also, I don't know if it's just my...

Had another good experience with TheSegaDude - thanks!

^ I could definitely do that - especially considering I have some blank VHS tapes stored in that very garage. The only thing is... I'm not sure if I want to eternalize how bad I am at games.

I thought it was something personal against us there for a moment.

Yeah, I have a similar story to Sega Dude's, but mine is of a similar size and has a VCR built into it. The main difference was that it was about four blocks from my house about four years ago. I...

Thanks for the updates, guys. How's it going for everyone else?

The local game store here didn't have a Black Friday this year because of COVID, but i had some store credit there that was about to expire, so I went there anyway and got these guys:
