Re: Official Neo Geo X Gold System details and price announc

I was able to play this system yesterday. As a handheld it works very well...but when you play it on a TV you notice a brief but significant lag when using the arcade stick. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I haven't noticed any serious lag on the stick. If it's there it's really small. Unle...

Re: Official Neo Geo X Gold System details and price announc

Yah but this has the stick and the neat docking console that hooks up to your tv! If you don't want to drop $200 for it then whatever. This is for dumb people like me who have the dough to spend and want the novelty of having something AES shaped hooked up to their TV without having to pay that AES ...

I think it will be worth it just for the affordability and probable ease in getting the games. Yanno, compared to hunting down AES stuff now >.>

Re: Official Neo Geo X Gold System details and price announc

Re: Scummy Retro Game Store Practices

The store is Game City in Londonderry Mall. Edmonton Alberta. I'll post it in that thread too I guess. Aren't they a chain of stores in Edmonton, or am I thinking of something else? Believe it or not, I used to work at Londonderry Save-On foods. I lived in Edmonton for 5 years about a decade ago. I...

Re: Retro Game Store Directory

I guess this is the place to post this sort of stuff. Avoid Game City in Londonderry Mall, Edmonton Alberta (and I assume in Bonnie Doon Mall as well). The first post in this thread explains why. http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=39318 Long story short they put repro carts in w...

Re: Scummy Retro Game Store Practices

UPDATE: After emailing Super Fighter Team it seems they are going to be taking some sort of action against the store for the Nightmare Busters cartridge. Might still go in to see if I can't get them to label that stuff. Probably a fools errand but it won't hurt to try.

Re: Scummy Retro Game Store Practices

my main worry would be that if they're willing to pass off unreleased repros as official carts, they're probably selling repros of especially valuable games (Earthbound, for example) and trying to pass them off as real carts as well. I am a little worried about that too as there was an Earthbound c...
