I pulled out my Super Nintendo, but my saves keep vanishing

[Zereh]

I think blowing on the cartridge was the cure-all back in the day, might try that. =P

Earthbound was great also, but my money is on Final Fantasy III. Still probably the best FF to date. But there are still so many "great" RPG's on that system...

Man, makes me want to pull my old system out of the shed and try it out. I enjoyed the hell out of ff3 and secret of mana.

I've been playing those on the Wii Virtual Console, but it's just not the same.

I like the idea of that cartridge but how did they get to be so expensive? Gap in the market there, someone must be able to make the same thing but half the price...

It usually isn't. I've purchased every reiteration of the game in question (GBA, PS1), but nothing felt the same until I got another SNES with the cartridge. Holding that fat controller and looking at those pixels on a CRT...that was the magic returned once more!

And Swish, you've got a point, you'd think some of the companies that make these "FC" consoles would step in and re-engineer this product and sell it cheap, but I guess no one has decided to do it since then.

This + This

lol who uses cartridges anymore

I still have my PSP-1000 which allowed me to play many games, my favorite was that fan translated english version of Bloody Bride. [You must be logged in to view images.

This thread is full of win.

If I had the knowhow, I'd be all over making this for $50 a pop
