Nice! I have the exact same Falcon 4.0 with that huge Pilot Flight Binder. It can be made to work easily on Windows XP after downloading the 1.08 update.

Oh and try it with vintage Flight Stick and a Gameport to USB adapter.

Go to an art supply store or craft store and buy "Book Glue". Sometimes known as neutral PH PVA glue. Use it sparingly and if you can, clamp or weigh the bits together while it dries.

I have this game. It's highly technical and kinda dry. I crashed on my first hundred landing attempts.

Yeah thanks for that info, just didn't know what to do especially because i don't want it coming all the way apart and it's in decent enough shape for me to be happy otherwise :wink:

3rd Party SNES Controller for Wii - $25 (Though paid $6.70 including the trade bait from Thrift stores)

I played FZero a little on my Wii U with it, it is a lot lighter than a normal SNES controller, but the buttons are responsive and I am happy with it after looking for a decentlyed price Club Nintendo once since I missed out of them for so long.

Donkey Kong Land - $5.25 including shipping via eBay

This has to be the ugliest Super Gameboy game ever, looks (better colours) much better via the Gamecubes Gameboy adapter than the SGB.

Found a ton of ps2 games for 1.99 at savers even some sealed. All the mortal kombats, every gta, some sports, kof XI, syphon filter, max Payne, all complete and in really good shape.
Walked away with nothing. Don't have a ps2 so no need to get into another system. Will never play those games. I'm happy
