When I got contacted by the owner of those 3 blue disks...it was a bit weird because he was so secretive... I think Nintendo has everybody afraid of this stuff...even though its 20 years ago!StuffWePlay wrote: Also, I can't believe you managed to find more blue disks! Thats beyond amazing!

Re: The MetalJesus Video Thread
Just saw this video. Nice and informative.
Also, it looks like fake GBA carts now have the Nintendo logo in them too! That used to be a big fake giveaway. Not seeing the Nintendo on the green silicon immediately says fake.
Another thing that you can tell to make GBA games more legitimate is seeing some numbers and letters stamped onto the label itself. It's faint but quite noticable when the game is new. But a little harder to spot when the game is older and worn out with constant use.
The tip of taking your own tri wing screwdriver is a great one. I have one too and it looks like I'll have to follow her advice on that.
