So this is Mr. Gimmick. Nice music for an NES title. Sunsoft is famous for putting good quality music in NES games and in Mr Gimmick it's due to an extra sound chip. You should hear the music from another Sunsoft game called Ufouria QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Nov 11 2017, 04:30 PM) Nice score Mr. Nevermore!
Thanks

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 11 2017, 09:45 AM) Just wanted to throw this out there since what I discovered got me a tad excited... Back in 2013 I bought a copy of the rare NES game Mr Gimmick. The game was only released in Japan and Scandinavia and also very late in the 8-bit era and for these reasons not many copies are out there. Well, at least not compared to say Mega Man or other games. Anyway, I bought Mr Gimmick for 2500 SEK and when I just now looked at the auction site there were a few more up for sale, for 5000 SEK each!!! That's not to say they are easy to sell or even that they will be sold for that price, but to see my purchase double in value like that really got me hot and bothered Edit: I just looked at another game, Action 52. Same story there! Bought it for 2500 SEK and the two ones up for sale now; 4500 and 3900 SEK, respectively! WOO HOO !!!!

NEW NES GAME PURCHASE Of course, "new" is to be taken with a grain of salt. It's new to my collection anyway and the game in question is Metroid. Never played it much back in the day and I don't reckon I will now. It's not really appealing to me but it's still an iconic game and hey ho, maybe it will grow on me a bit*? Came complete with the small box and the manual that refers to Samus as "he" but as the perceptive child I was back then I instantly suspected it was a girl in that suit because of how the character was running; reminded me of an eleven-year-old girl * - See what I did there?

So where do you buy your NES games? Khajiit can’t imagine those are easy to find these days. This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Nov 7 2018, 07:41 PM

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 11 2019, 01:11 PM) Today I got a new (heh) game for my NES; Top Gun. I made a mistake when buying it though; I thought I was buying Top Gun II: The second mission, the sequel to the game I got. My bad. I'll get the other one later. Worked fine but I crashed in the ocean when trying to land on the aircraft carrier I like Top Gun on the NES. Just pay attention to ALT and Speed indicators on the hud during the landing sequence and you should almost always be able to land on the carrier. Top Gun on the NES.

I've heard of this game before; I think someone on this site posted a screenshot of it years ago! QUOTE(mirocu @ Mar 30 2019, 02:39 PM) This morning I decided to boot up my old NES again and play some Mega Man and Battle of Olympus, two games I played as a kid but never owned. I just played two stages of Mega Man and a bit of the other one. Although I never got far in either games I do enjoy the music in them and especially Battle of Olympus. I'll list a few here and frankly, they are so much more memorable than basically any modern, overproduced song by whoever world famous singer or group. These simple 8-bit tunes kick them around the playground fifteen times I tells ya. Title themeArcadia Green FieldsCaves of ArgolisPeloponnesus ForestThe Title Theme is my favorite of these choices; boy does that bring back Mario memories!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9bB7r0M9kgQUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 11 2019, 01:11 PM) Today I got a new (heh) game for my NES; Top Gun.

A lot of Tail-Hookers died that day, lol.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Feb 22 2020, 05:31 AM) I just bought a mug that has the original Game Boy design and with a screen that "turns on" to a game when hot beverage is poured in! I'm also on the fence if I should continue bidding on a complete Link's Awakening. Good quality and I only have the loose game at present. But over 100 bucks... Do I really want it that bad? Link’s Awakening was the hero of many a long car trip when Khajiit was but a cub. This one couldn’t justify $100 for it, no matter the warm feelings this one harbors for the game though.

Thank you, and yeah I'm glad too QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Mar 22 2020, 12:46 PM) Link’s Awakening was the hero of many a long car trip when Khajiit was but a cub. This one couldn’t justify $100 for it, no matter the warm feelings this one harbors for the game though.
Samesis. I didn't continue bidding and I think it ended up at over 200 bucks. I do have the loose game from decades before so I can still play if I want. Only ever played my Game Boy at home though, although occasionally on trips. Since ambient lighting is most important I wanted to sit in a specific location to get the best view of the screen. Fun fact: I completed all my Game Boy games way back when. Something I never did with my NES games even though I got that much earlier. I just liked the Game Boy better in a way.

Funny thing about Link’s Awakening. They recently released a remake on the Switch. It was very well done! This one knows how you feel about that so now Khajiit is not sure why he even mentioned it!

QUOTE(mirocu @ Mar 22 2020, 09:50 AM) Decided to try my NES this morning.
Me too! About time, wasn't it? Yes, I always have an urge to play some NES in springtime. As this was merely a test I only played some Mega Man; Cut Man and Fire Man stages to be exact. Prior to playing I quick-cleaned the 72-pin connector using the special "cartridge" and I also did the actual Mega Man cartridge. And thanks to that; worked perfectly on the first try!
