But I went back into Windows, manually rotated the pic and saved it, but the forum still tilted it.  Oh well, Tilt Bro. deserves to be tilted.  I'll know for next time, thanks guys!

The direction of UP is written into the exif data (metadata) and cannot be modified. If you're posting it to a forum which reads the directions from the exif data, it'll ignore whatever else you did while rotating it.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have been collecting and playing games for years. Recently I have been focusing more on the Nintendo Switch. I've been looking for great games that I want to play, great games that I already HAVE played but don't own physically on the Switch, and occasionally keeping an eye out for some hard to find games, or hard to find variants. Here's some things that recently came into my collection:

Been a crazy 1st half of the year, so I haven't been around much and have posted very little, but here's my additions for the first half of '24.

> Took longer than expected, but Switch stuff is starting to show up at yard sales. In the last 2 weeks, I went from not having a Switch at all to having two of them along with a small stack of (mostly good) games. I did buy one game (WarGroove 1+2) online, breaking my yard sale/thrift store/trade only mantra.

> I had one nice trade which netted me the boxed GBC and a few other bits. Everything else was found cheap & local.

I ordered Luigi's Mansion 2 so my girlfriend and I can play it together. After receiving it, I see now it's only one player so I'm not sure if I'll return it or not.

I got another Swtich cradle for playing on the plane. My other one broke on my last flight, I'm not sure how.

I also got a capture device for converting VHS cassettes to digital video but it could also be used with NES.

I got offered another Mega Man prototype, this time Mega Man 2 for Game Boy. The previous owner made a custom box for it which is kind of cool, though I don't know why Rush is on there, he's not in Mega Man II. I don't think.

I went to a local game convention this weekend and found some games I needed (somehow). I also discovered a new variant for Bases Loaded which I didn't know existed:

  • Ghostbusters
  • Castlequest
  • Shingen The Ruler
  • RBI Baseball poster
  • Bases Loaded (circle seal)
  • Bases Loaded (oval seal, blue Jaleco)
  • Bases Loaded (oval seal, orange Jaleco)
  • Circus Atari (sealed)
  • Space Attack (sealed)
  • Astroblast (Canadian, sealed)

My local game store was also blowing out console boxes so I got some NES for $20 each and Famicom for $10. They had 50 or more across every decade.

And that also included the box for Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt. Yes, this game did come in a box.

I forgot about these.

I was in Boston a few weeks ago and found these:

  • 1 code Baseball
  • Urban Champion
  • Home Alone
  • The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle And Friends
  • 720 manual
  • Gyromite manual

I also found a Miracle Piano for $200 USD which seems a little high but everything inside is still in the plastic wrap, it has all components and I rarely ever see this for sale.

I bought $30 worth of bubble wrap, carried all of it back to the hotel on the bus (along with my laptop) and then wrapped it in preparation to check it as my luggage on the plane. I created a handle out of packing tape because I knew I would be taking this through downtown Boston to the bus stop to the airport.

Last weekend I went to another game convention and found a game / manual I needed.

  • Nobunaga's Ambition II manual
  • Wrecking Crew

If we're sharing some CIB stuff, this might interest someone here.  A little over a month ago I came across doing a last closing loop of a small flea a Play it Loud CLEAR Gameboy and it has little to no wear, no fade no yellow too which is nice given what it is.

Fast forward to a week ago from last Friday (a month later) a dude over the river puts up an absurdly low/fair price on a dandelion gbc that's got some wear but not bad, but it's resting in a box, the clear plastic launch snap case box with all the art, inserts, manuals for the Play it Loud model of GBs and, even the warranty card still on the rear never removed.

Snapped those up in a heartbeat, basically paid for the handheld, got the case for nothing.

 

Just arrived, have a nice IPS panel for that GBC I'll be upgrading, and due to a snag the one i had in an atomic purple I already had failed, so have 2 to work on when time allows.

No photo but my birthday was the 6th and my wife and kids got me Mario RPG for the Switch! I forgot I'd put it in my Want List on Amazon.  It was a nice surprise, as I started that one on the Wii and never picked it back up after a move several years ago.  I restarted it and my kids are watching.  It's quite a simple RPG but the charm is so high, it's quite fun.  I'm enjoying it.

Wait, there's a single game with these? I bought them all individually just to play them.

Yup. It has all three games on the cartridge although I think the third game is missing one or two patches that fix some minor bugs. This collection is more commonly available as a Japanese release, the one with the ESRB cover that I got is very rare though I think there is one person currently selling one on ebay as I type this. It's a bit pricey though.
