3330: Speaking of, where is Craig these days?

 

He's admin-ing it up where none of us can see him, like a ninja.  Because I can't see him.  Because he's a ninja.

I wouldn't think that Craig would be a Japanese name.

Best post number, other than 64.

Because it isn't

 

I believe he is from New Zealand.

 

Interestingly enough seems spellchecker does not know what "Zealand" is since it says it is wrong.

[SkylarWeston 45]

3335

 

But where is Zealand?

But where is Zealand?

 

It's part of Denmark.

 

And now you know!

[Larks2242 251]

Still new or old either way spell check never heard of it.

3338: Yes, it is. However New Zealand is not named for Zealand, Denmark but rather it's named for Zeeland, Netherlands. This is in similar fashion to how Australia was named New Holland for Holland.

Larks, Chptrk, Muck, and Blue Lightning all on the same page. Ah, just like old times. Now we just need astro to post again, and un1 to come back from oblivion.

 

I'm not posting, and you can't make me!

 

Oh, wait.

 

No-one saw this!

 

(My absence has been for no particular reason at all, I've just been away)

3340,

 

You guys really sound so nostalgic. Hahahaha.

[SkylarWeston 45]

3341

 

Well I like nostalgia, because I was so close to winning an SNES on eBay.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

3342: Love me some SNES, even though I grew up on a N64.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

3343

 

I could buy a Famicom Combi (of FamiCombi or something like that) here that plays SNES and NES games.  I kinda want it.

never was familiar with old consoles, mainly played outside until penny arcades came.

I love old games.  But lately I've been playing a new game for a change, Fire Emblem Awakening.

[RipRap 4,400]

3346

I haven't been playing much games recently, but might have to try out some soon.

[Haljackey 17,398]

Try Goat Simulator.

Have you tried EarthBound.... Oh, of course you have. XD

I have never played Mother 3, because as an American, I know of no legal way to obtain a copy of it.

Might want to get the Age of Empires II HD edition. It's looking great en the best in his series IMO.

Duke, who holds the most trixies earned at the same time out of curiosity?

 

Also, hi Astro!

I am posting from Salisbury, NC. Tomorrow morning I am headed to the National Transportation Museum immediately after I buy tickets for the Jack White show in Pittsburgh this summer. I am so excited. I have never seen him live. He is a guitar god and can be seen in Lego form in my avatar.

 

Numbers are slightly out of order above.

You do! Nine of them in 2010.

No Haljackey, I want a retro game , not a thing simulator.

3355: There has been an English language version released on the internet. If you buy a Japanese copy and then download the ROM file to an emulator, this is legal. You are allowed to use an emulator provided you have paid for/own a hard copy of the game.

Strictly speaking, this is only legal if you dump the ROM from the cartridge yourself. Buying a legal copy on a cartridge and then separately downloading a pirated copy onto your computer, while less conscience stirring, is still illegal.

 

American Game Boy Advances can play Japanese cartridges, though, since the console isn't region locked. So if you buy the game, you might as well just play it that way.

I have decided to donate blood for one of the first times in my life sometime in the near future in order to make up for my community college's narrow-sighted decision to cancel all further blood drives on its campus. I will wear my badge (that will say that I donated) with pride and will wear it when I go to class. They won an award but think that a federal law conflicts with their policy that gave them that award. Regardless of everything else, I will transfer to another community college next school year if mine is no longer in the top 50 in the country (academically).

Nothing beats Sony's Playstation one, that was my first game console. Oh wait, I still remember playing Contra and Metal Slug on a family computer. Hahaha. Good old days.

3359: Oh? I wasn't aware. I guess this kind of thing is a legal grey area. Oh well, just have to learn Japanese then

You would think the patent has expired by now, how else can companies like hyperkin make clone Nintendo consoles?

 

It would be almost pointless for them to maintain it anyway since they are obsolete and no future releases so what happens when all the old carts break?
