RF Generation Message Board

As some of you may know I've been slowly inching towards my goal of a complete licensed NES set over the years. I'm finally getting very close to my goal so I thought I'd keep a closer watch on the last few dozen games in case anyone was interested in watching. Here are the last titles I still need to track down:

Indiana Jones The Last Crusade (Ubisoft)

I'll keep an eye out. I've seen W&W 3 a couple times in the wild.

I can knock out a few for you Crabby. Still holding onto a copy of Young Indy for you.

I'll carry that list with me while I'm at the thirfts and flea markets.

so close! i don't go out hunting too often but i'll bring your list with me when i do.

AD&D Hillsfar
Wizards & Warriors III
Golf Power
Formula 1
Uninvited

are all pending

I'll run through your list at the local store tomorrow just to check, and I'll check some others if I am out and about this weekend. Woohoo!

Crabby, if you're willing to pay around market price, I can probably nab half that list from the local flea market when my financial situation settles down.

No rush guys. If you find them for a good price I'll happily buy them from you, but things have been trickling into the store so I'm hopeful that I'll see most of these over the next 12 months.

So I've got good news and bad news. Good news is that a couple of my customers helped me out and I can knock off 8 more NES titles from my list. I also had the chance over the last week to audit my NES collection and found I was missing 3 titles: Super Mario Bros, Tetris and 1942.

No Super Mario Bros?  That's how I can tell how much of a collector you are, Crabby.  You glance over three (well, two) of the most common titles.  I tip my hat to you, sir.   Anyways, which variant are you missing?

Hillsfar.  I can't tell you how many hours I played that game in my younger days.  Had to be hundreds of hours.

lol, its not that I overlooked it. I gave it to one of my clients last year and just havn't gotten around to picking it up again. Its just the Super Mario Bros (not SMB/DH or SMB/DH/WCTM) that I still need.

Wait are you missing Tetris as in the Atari Tengen version ?

Nope, just plain old Tetris

Well then, I think I have...11? carts I could send you. PM me your address and we'll work out something later.

I'll check the game store I work out too for you

Think I'm missing a box of NES games somewhere...
I know I have Digger CIB somewhere and couldn't find either copy of Young Indy.

I think I have 4 games I could help you out with, including the Miracle Piano with piano, cables, and books.

Happy to help you knock two titles off your list. I know they weren't super rare or valuable games, but I hope you enjoy them.

I know someone already said they could help you with Tetris, but if that falls through, there are 2 at my local Play n Trade

I got a copy of Klash ball at work if you want.

$5! Sold!

Just grabbed 1942 for you as well

Fleach sent this one my way. FINALLY I have ALL the NES fishing games!!! My life is complete!!!!

Les Claypool is amazing!

I would much rather have your list than the 12 games I have remaining. You'll have this completed in no time buddy.

Uh....all the NES fishing games.....weren't there just 2?  This and Black Bass....

And they are all mine mwa hahahahaha.

Yeah I was looking at your list a little while ago and I'm definitely happy with mine :P

That's harsh bro.......

lol, I'll definitely help you out if I get the chance. You'll need it

I have a Miracle Piano unit that I don't need or want but it's for the PC. I can't imagine it would be cost effective to ship but you could have it for a song. 

is the list in the first post up to date? i'll be doing some hunting today and will take it with me

It is up to date.

saw your reply to my facebook post, thanks ;) i was kind of in a rush and it was a last minute question so i never actually got around to taking it with me friday, but i'm probably going out again today so i'll take it then.

No worries :)

well i didn't find too much but you can knock off Monster Truck Rally! condition isn't perfect, it has sticker residue and a bit of label damage in one corner of the label, i'll PM you some pics soon so check your inbox.

Got a copy of Championship Pool in the mail from my boy Fleach! Thanks for helping me knock a couple more off my list :)

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131126_080949_zps2dfbff55.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20131126_080949_zps2dfbff55.jpg.html)

Also got these two in the mail today. Rockin Kats has been a LONG sought after game for me. Very excited to finally have a copy. The Metroid game is one of the last few major variants I've been tracking down.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131201_233447_zps98fb34b3.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20131201_233447_zps98fb34b3.jpg.html)

Crabby, going to delay your package for a little bit since I know there are a couple on your list I can pick up from the flea market. I planned on going this weekend, but was sick all week. :'(

Ohhh! Rockin' Kats! That is an Atlus title I want to own and play.

Happy to help you out, Crabby. :) I know those games are going to a good home and you'll have some fun with them.

Still doing your annual 100-in-100 challenge?

Absolutely not :)

Even if I had the play time, which I know I wont, I'm not sure there are another 100 games I could beat that quickly. Its going to be slow progress for the foreseeable future.

So no more games that can be beating in one sitting... Bummer. I liked those 100-in-100 blogs.

Maybe it's time to look at another console library. ;)

Blasphemy!! There are still around 300 more NES games for me to experience :)

3 More down thanks to Russlyman and frrrosty3 over at racketboy :)

*puts away his Power Punch II*

*Thanks Ray for considering sending his Power Punch II to me*

Don't put it away quite yet. Crabbys might turn to dust before you get yours mailed out :P

One more off the list thanks to Techwizard!! You guys are blowing my mind!!!!!!!

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131206_091837_zps2bd2aa6c.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20131206_091837_zps2bd2aa6c.jpg.html)

I like how Bowser is looking down at the monster truck and thinking, "That's what I want to be next year."

Monster Trucks in Mario Kart Wii U? ;)

List is whittled down by one more title

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131219_155735_zpsfe508dce.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20131219_155735_zpsfe508dce.jpg.html)

Rfgen's resident Banana enthusiast hooked me up with a couple more from my list :)

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131220_074507_zps0c798042.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20131220_074507_zps0c798042.jpg.html)

Banana set me up with the final Tiny Toons cart I needed :)

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131227_090720_zpsc3035d00.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20131227_090720_zpsc3035d00.jpg.html)

That was the last Konami game too, I believe.

Awesome!  Glad he found it for you I had a rough time finding it for you lol

Funny I actually found a second copy the day after I found this one.

Wow lol I've one seen one once here and I was a long time ago

Ray spoiled me this year :)

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131227_203339_zps82eb32ba.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20131227_203339_zps82eb32ba.jpg.html)

A friend of mine went on a work trip down to Vancouver and hit some game stores for me while he was away. Ended up bringing these 3 games back for me from my list :)

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140205_174946_zpsf6e4f2ac.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140205_174946_zpsf6e4f2ac.jpg.html)

It's a good thing he gave you Super Cars. I bought Regular Cars the other day... Boring game.

Dont I know it

25 left? pretty freakin awesome.

I drive a regular car every day... boring reality.

One step closer thanks to Duke.Togo's help :)

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140224_221031_zpsb068f154.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140224_221031_zpsb068f154.jpg.html)

It's no Hide & Speak, but I'm glad it gets you a step closer!

Came home to a very unexpected surprise yesterday. I was expecting a few packages in the mail, but nothing as small as a single cart. Looks as though my main man Bil hooked me up with a great looking copy of Sqoon!! I was actually doing a bit of window shopping online yesterday and was pretty close to hitting a BIN on a copy. The surprise Sqoon really made my day though. Thanks so much Bil :)

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140209_220312_zpsefcad32d.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140209_220312_zpsefcad32d.jpg.html)

Its a bit sad to think that I'll likely never get a lot of NES games this big again that I don't already have. A very nice guy over at nintendoage that posts as ExplodedHamster gave me a fantastic deal on these games. Really great guy.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140210_114612_zps2ecc66ef.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140210_114612_zps2ecc66ef.jpg.html)

Nice lot! So close now.

So nice of Kordell Stewart to watch over that Young Indy for you. Great pickups!

Scored another big one off my list today. Came from a deal with a great seller from nintendoage, franksisko18.

Just realized that I had screwed up and forgot about Battleship and Harlem Globtrotters somehow. Added them to the list, but I'm gonna have to triple check it now to make sure I haven't missed anything else.

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140308_092512_zpsf859a376.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140308_092512_zpsf859a376.jpg.html)

D'oh! I could've sent those to you, Crabby.

Nice add with Wacky Races, Crabmaster! Double whammy with a NES game off your very small remaining list AND another Atlus title too!

I don't count it towards my Atlus collection unless its CIB. Just one to cross of the NES list for now.


You were generous enough without those ones already Ray. Duke may have a Battleship for me. If not I'll PM you and see if we can work out a deal for those. Thanks Ray :)

2 More off the list. Kid Klown is another purchase from nintendoage member ExplodedHamster (great guy to deal with), and Cliffhanger is from a Canadian Ebay seller...... they do exist!!!!

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140319_184153_zps07333b07.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140319_184153_zps07333b07.jpg.html)

Woot

Another biggie this morning

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140321_092417_zps1603cc7e.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140321_092417_zps1603cc7e.jpg.html)

So jealousssssss!!!

Yep, Canadian ebay sellers are few and far between but they tend to have good prices. I guess our politeness extends to online shopping too. :D

Got The Terminator set aside for ya.

Battleship and Mario's Time Machine on the way soon sir. :)

So excited :D

Crabby, I have a lead on the following :

Cool World
Faria
Jimmy Conners Tennis (with manual)
Tecmo Cup Soccer

I'm trying to get pictures and prices from the guy now.

Edit : My god it took me literally 5 minutes to post this. Can we get a fund raiser going for hosting?

Robot, we're working on the transition right now. It's slow going since a lot of the keys belong to other owners or have been lost to the ether, but we're almost there.

I'm holding out for a CIB Cool World, but if you can nab me any of the other 3 I'd be super pumped :)

Mr. Banana went to pick me up a Battleship and did me one better by snapping up a very attractive copy of Mario's Time Machine :D

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140407_183311_zpsec1b9ada.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140407_183311_zpsec1b9ada.jpg.html)

So Jealous of the MTM that one is on my list too!

Zagnorch hooked me up good with his copy of Terminator. Also tossed in that wicked Rock Man bag that he found a little while back. So freakin awesome!!! Also got a nice little Hylian dollar, one for me and one for Mike. Thanks so much Zaggy!! 11 left to go!

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140428_221203_zps76dd23eb.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140428_221203_zps76dd23eb.jpg.html)

braggart....

Is it just me, or does Mega Man look like he had a stroke?

I am excite.

JJGames had this one for $5 with free shipping to Canada!! Woot!

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140520_193404_zps744f9172.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140520_193404_zps744f9172.jpg.html)

that's awesome to be getting some of the last games at such low prices, i'm sure a lot of NES collectors are jealous ;)

The Swamp Thing Duke hooked me up with puts me to the magic number of 10 NES games remaining:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140524_074101_zps987d12c5.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140524_074101_zps987d12c5.jpg.html)

You need to remove Swamp Thing from your list, but good luck in obtaining those final ten!

Robotcowhand and Fleach teamed up to hook me up VERY good. I'll explain more later, but for now I'll leave you with this:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140606_180115_zps42d9c354.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140606_180115_zps42d9c354.jpg.html)

wow that list is shrinking fast, i'll be extremely surprised if you don't finish it off this year if not this month!

... seriously considering finishing off that list for you, Crabby ...

So Robotcowhand put me in touch with a co-worker of his a while back. After many weeks of negotiating we worked out a deal for a VERY LARGE number of NES games for my store. That last picture was a few of the games that I personally need. Here are a few more from that same lot that Fleach brought with him over the last weekend. Thanks so much to the both of you guys for helping me knock this many games off.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140609_150309_zps29052b0f.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140609_150309_zps29052b0f.jpg.html)

Well, you cleared the rest of the ones I could send you out. When did Last Crusade jump up so much in $?

Funny how the last two games you need have the word last in the title.

lol, did not notice that

I was excited because i had actually seen a copy of Indy around here. Then i realized the one i saw didn't have the ugly UBI logo on it. It stands out enough that i would have remembered it.

SO CLOSE!

Same. I have copies of all of the others. :'(

Love that Vaus

Dang you are getting close

Did you get the keyboard you wanted with the piano teacher game?

^ I've got an extra floating around without any wires if you want.

I have an extra keyboard, manual, and AC adapter, myself.

If I find a second extra foot pedal, I'll keep you in mind, Crabs. (The Dukester will get the first one)

I did not find the Piano yet. The cart just kind of ended up at my house so I took it because it was very convenient. I'm only interested in grabbing a Piano if its got all the goodies to go along with it. Dont feel like piecing that one together.

After reading this, I have seen the Taito release version of Indy twice now in my local game stores. It always seems to be that once I see or hear about something for the first time, I start seeing it everywhere. I bet I have seen it other times though, probably skimming over it like any other game because it held no significance to me before.

Mr. Banana helped me knock my second to last title off the list :D

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20140709_224314_zpsdc5235d8.jpg[/img] (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/Crabmaster2000/media/20140709_224314_zpsdc5235d8.jpg.html)

Wow.....so close.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (ubisoft) as a last title. Interesting. It would be very interesting to hear of anyones last title in a library the size of the NES or bigger. All I can say is, if I ever planned on going for a full set, something tells me I would have an expensive game at the end.

How will you celebrate the full set?

By moving on to the TG16/CD library. lol

We're not worthy! We're not worthy! We suck!   ;)

Indeed it is.

Preemptive conglaturation !!!

do eet!

I cant have it be that easy for my final game. I'm holding out for a copy I can get locally. Thanks for keeping an eye out for me guys :)

I searched the local store where I found my copy. No luck. Good luck on your search Crabby and I'll continue searching!

I've got many minions out scouring the land for me, I have no doubt that one will turn up before the year is over :)

*Click eBay link*
*Ships to home*
I found one locally! It was just dropped off on my doorstep one day!

*fingers in ears*
LALALALALA

What are the odds! You rock Shadow!

I would do it in a heartbeat if my paycheck wasn't shorted this week. Sorry to mislead you. :'(. I was just trying to comment on how "local" doesn't mean as much any more, as a local store can order it from eBay and it's suddenly local.

I'd be happier than most to pass it on to you after helping to fill in some of the gaps in your collection over the past couple years. I could track down a copy locally, but it wouldn't be any cheaper. :'(

I knew that Ray. was just playing along ;)

He would still have to ship it to me. I'm really hoping to interact face to face with the person I'm getting it from.

While I would be happy to take a trip over to the Vancouver studio and make the long drive over to you, I don't think it's in the cards right now. ;)

If you do make a trip the Vancouver studio let me know. I've already got a couple reasons to head down that way, could always use a third ;)

Canadian roadtrip! Actually, I do have a reason for visiting Vancouver, though I will need to clear it with that particular team and management. Won't be anytime soon due to release schedules though.

Give me as much notice as possible (2 months would be ideal) and I can likely make it down there.

if you guys make a trip down to vancouver you should set aside a day to hop over the water to visit me too, i live 5 minutes from the ferries on vancouver island.

Totally!

Thread over!!!!!

 :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Congrats on finishing up that very daunting quest.  Who's next?

Congrats but now you need the unlicensed stuff.

I've got about half of it right now. I'll keep plugging away as the opportunities arise, but unlicensed won't be a priority and there are about 5-6 of them I doubt I'll ever own.

CONGRATS!!!

While it may be over, the memories and friendship will last a lifetime.

And so, a new challenge awaits...

TG-16? Next challenge?

Congrats Crabby!

Make sure to add this title to your unlicensed collection:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1316851183/the-new-8-bit-heroes-new-nes-game-and-creation-doc

I'm down to 4 licensed games remaining and I know that Duke is close as well (not sure of this count, but I know it's in the single digits). Our games are the pricey ones unfortunately, so it may be slow going. If I can take out at least 1 per year, I'll be happy. :)

What a accomplishment. Congrats 


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which ones and why wont own them?

Myriad, all 3 Panesian games and Racermate II I couldn't see myself going for......unless they happen to make their way into my store somehow. Just too pricey


TG16 and Virtual Boy are both close behind. Probably followed by Dreamcast.

How much are they? Cheap compared to Stadium Events?

Racermate II is only 250 loose. That doesnt seem bad in the land of NES collecting. Myriad is what 1000-1500? Same for the Panesian?

I remember when I could of bought all 3 Panesian for 900. Dont remember if it was cart only or CIB.

Also I sent you some PM's.

w00t and stuff!

Should have put up a picture of them all nice and organized though :P

Problem is they are far from neat and organized right now. I stole a lot of my game room shelving for the store so my game room is depressingly unorganized right now :(

@Tynstar - Myriad is at least $1200, the Panesian games are $700+ each and Racermate II is $300+ all loose. Its hard to justify those prices on funny looking carts ;)

I should have some time tomorrow to respond to your PM

Why does how the cart looks factor into the price? If those are the only 5 games you need for a complete NES set you know you want them. :)
