How Is Your SNES Gaming Going?

[Ziggy]

Stupid question - anyone know where I can get replacement screws for SNES games?

I could use some too.

The hard part is finding out what size screw that is (thread type and size, length, head) then getting replacements is easy. I don't know about getting the security bit, but getting a phillips head should be easy (once you know the size).

I've actually been wanting to find out the size myself, I'd like to pick up a box of screws. I have an accurate digital caliper now, so I could probably find the correct size replacement without much of a hassle (I would hope).

I was inspired by this to do some inventory this morning, my paltry by comparison collection:

Why Troddlers? Is that a game I should consider adding to my SNES collection?

It's a fun puzzle game with a pretty cool multi-player feature that puts it over the top for me

Here's my SNES collection which is also not super huge, though I am "done" with it as I own just about everything I want for the console. There are a few other things I'd pick up if I saw them in the wild, but nothing I'd go out of my way for.

Those are the cleanest SNES carts I've ever seen.

Thanks! I try

I just settled for Rockman 7.

For some dumb reason, I always just assumed Rockman 7 was up there in the same range. Then I looked it up just now... Rockman 7, $25 Buy It Now. Mega Man 7, $57 auction and seriously climbing. Yeesh, people are dumb. But yeah, good call, Rockman 7 it is

It was developed by The Sales Curve (Firepower 2000) so it might be worth a look.

Oh and I hit something of a milestone too - 100 SNES games! Ack, I am catching up!

Haha, just you wait. I get a thrill every time I pick up a new title. Cleaning SNES games is now a favorite activity of mine. And you have a little ways to go, as I'm currently waiting for potential #240 and #241 to arrive in the mail.

I was inspired by this to do some inventory this morning, my paltry by comparison collection:

The reason for the random SFC titles: I was in Japan with a friend of mine several years back, so for pure "collector" reasons I picked up CT, Mother 2, Rockman X & X2 CIB for something like 3700 yen total. I reaaaaaaally wish I'd have looked for stuff like Hagane, Shounen Ninja Sasuke, Hamelin No Violin Tamaki and the like.

Anyway, I really wish I had the moolah to pick up stuff like Ogre Battle, Mega Man 7 and Harvest Moon. Those are next on my wishlist but $100+ is just absurd.

Here's the boxes and books -- I'm moving across the country in a few months, so I wanted to take pictures and document all this stuff anyway. Thought I might as well share.

Very nice! My collection is almost entirely cart only(it helps save space and keep the price down). I would take pictures, but I don't have a camera nearly good enough to get all of it.

I had to do the same recently and I meant to take pictures of everything but in the end I got too lazy to do all the Genesis games and such. Thankfully everything made it in one piece anyway.

So, some bad news, good news, and bad news again.

Last night I ordered a CIB copy of Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss off of Amazon before I went to bed. I wake up earlier today to find out the order got cancelled roughly 45 minutes after I ordered it (it was no longer in stock apparently). Major bummer. Would have been my first ever Super Famicom game in my collection (hell, my first IMPORT game ever).

I then find out that both my SNES games I ordered close to 2 weeks ago, got delivered to me today (you can call that the good news, since I had no idea they were being delivered today). Here's Phalanx:

Pretty decent condition, just some dirt and what not, but that's easily cleanable.

Unfortunately, this is my copy of Bust A Move:

And that's not all...

So that's going to take some work. Only thing that's pissed me off thus far is the end label mostly ripped off (thanks to that sticker on the label). Grrrrrrr.....everything else I can fix up and get rid of, but that end label.......AHHHHHHH. I'll figure it out once I actually clean up the cart.

What's Phalanx like? I heard it's a pretty cool game.

Getting burned by online orders is always a bummer. I just had an incident myself. Ordered Kendo Rage from an Amazon seller, who proceeded to ship me Batman Returns. I immediately contact the seller - he says he'll ship Kendo Rage as soon as he receives Batman from me. I ship it back and he gives me....... a refund. So yeah, still no Kendo Rage.
