Congratulations! Would you share this with us? How about a run of some ultra hi-res reproduction boxes to celebrate??

I’m gonna continue using both sites. If activity on Nintendo age starts to dwindle then I might stop checking it as often

When I started middle school it was always emphasized as two spaces. By the time I was a junior in high school they were saying it could go both ways. In college they always said only one space

I have nothing against these reproductions. I bought both Mega Men, the street fighter, Holy Diver and R Types. And these are both good games.. But $100 Aladdin or Lion King? Ehhh......

I hear you. Will try out the google sheets idea. But the main reason I didn’t have much trading activity on NA was the time it took to scan through everyone’s trade list. Then if I were ever fortunate enough to find something I was looking for it would be very rare that the other person wanted something I had. The exercise gets old after a while. Automating the process some may turn out to be be a huge winner. If you ever reconsider I’d be willing to start putting a database together in whatever format you like. I’m sure others would volunteer also. And a trading tool wouldn’t need to be a final release on day one. It could be NES only to start testing (or gauge interest) and then you could drop games for other systems into the database in phases if it looks like a popular feature. I will test out GameTZ in the meantime to see how good the experience is

Gloves, how much money would you estimate a feature like this would cost to code?

I never heard of GameTZ, but now that I’ve looked it up, you’re right. It has the functionality I was talking about. I can’t believe something like that exists. I wonder how difficult it would be to get something like that on VGS? I get that GameTZ already exists, but it’s not about the tool, it’s about the community using it. Would be much harder to get everyone here using GameTZ than the bring a tool similar to it over here for all the existing users

Nah. The pricepoint is for the diehard gamers and collectors. Not enough of us. The casuals will just keep on playing the clone systems with sd cards By the way, is that thing gonna play hu cards?

I don’t know if this idea is too complex to code for the architecture, but here goes. I think for the trading system you should be able to select all of the games that you would like to a “want” list. Then you should be able to select all of the games that you like to a “for trade” list. Then you can run a search and the trade system will identify all of the members that have a game for trade that appears on your want list as long as you have an item for trade that is on their want list. Then you can initiate a conversation or even look over that persons complete want list to see if there’s anything they want that you have.. Example: Lets say I want Chrono Trigger SNES. I have a whole bunch of $15 - $30 games in my collection like SMB3, Megaman 4, TMNT 3 etc, but only SMB3 is listed in my “for trade” list. I run the search and it matches me with a user who has Chrono Trigger for trade and he wants SMB3, which is on my for trade list. However, that’s not an even trade. So I go to that users profile and I see that he also has Megaman 4 and TMNT3 on his “want” list. He doesn’t know I have these games because they are not on my “for trade” list, but I decide I’d be willing to offer them up in order to get Chrono Trigger so I initiate a conversation and offer all 3 games for Chrono Trigger. Thats the idea I had. What do you think, is it possible to code something like that?

It must be the same feeling the pilgrims felt when they landed on Plymouth Rock
