Smile: Finally got my V64 backup unit to work!

Frown: Have to spend most of today preparing for a yard sale.

They can be a bitch. Certain ROMs require a specific kind of cart to work depending on how they save and stuff...

What the hell?

Shipped them out where?

Knowing Gamestop, probably to the city dump...

I should have asked the girl Angie who was there that I knew from the EB games days when I worked for the company. I have no idea, but most likely a stockpile at a distribution warehouse somewhere. I could have given some of those games a home :(

How disappointing. Sorry man.

If they are going to a warehouse though (probably to be shipped from the online store, if anything) then I say better that then mutilating the games by tossing the cases and manuals and sticking them in sleeves.

But really, who knows what ultimately happens to all of those games. :?

I would like to guess maybe they shipped them out to another store that has higher sales or keeps busier, but who knows...

Ticked: Is it National 'Drive like an asshole and cut me off in traffic' day and someone forgot to notify me?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

They've probably gone to wherever Gamestop keeps the games they sell online.
