Pokemon Blue
FYI the internal cartridge battery that’s used to save your game is probably either dead or nearly dead!
A multimeter should show the battery at 3.25v. Anything less and it could die any day. Changing the battery isn’t too difficult, but it requires soldering.
This is my favorite tool set used to take the one screw out to open the cartridge, to check the battery.

What games do you want to play?
YESSS.
Favorite character is Midna from Twilight Princess. Her design is just so weird but it works. She antagonistic towards the player but I can’t help but love her. Your friendship grows throughout the game until that one incredible shot together. And the surprise ending is both fun and tragic.
EDIT: this shot.

Favorite relationship is Marin from Link’s Awakening. She’s wonderful on her own, but then she shares so much about her life on the island and her dreams and grows even deeper as a character. I feel a stronger bond between her and Link than any incarnation of Zelda.
Holy cow you put a TON of effort into this! I actually JUST finished playing through DKC3 for the first time. It’s amazing how many non-fun stages there are right at the end.
The stage that I have the least fond memories of was climbing up a cliff side waterfall by jumping on top of floating barrels? Ugh, it took me FOREVER. XD
No problem, I actually have a copy of Zoop for the original Game Boy! 😄
Also pretty much the highest valued Game Boy Advance game at this time! 🤯
I got this game recently and could not put it down! I ended up accidentally beating it. 😆
And that soundtrack… 😩
That was actually one of the first games I ever got! I’ve been meaning to try it again as an adult. It’s so hard, but the music and graphics are outstanding.
I am interested in Rolan’s Curse 1 and 2. It’s too bad they’re so expensive!
It’s so strange… I’ve heard that Japan culture in general likes games of random chance (like gashapon vending machines…) but this just seems cruel. 😅
At least I can finally stop stressing about the timing of my button presses.

Moomin’s Tale is beautiful.
Radar Mission is the only US game I have a boxed copy of, it’s one of my favorite pieces in my collection. ❤️
And yes, the music gets stuck in my head every time I play it!
That game is so good! “Zelda with guns”. I got it back when it came out and have played through it many times. It has such a good vibe.
I actually got Vegas Stakes a few months ago! It’s such a relaxing game to waste some time with. :)
Oh man, I’d love to have a copy of it, but I don’t know if I’d be able to find it at a price I’m willing to pay… XD
I have! I picked up a copy a couple of years ago. It took me a little while to realize, it’s not about clearing the screen, but about getting a high score. It’s very clever, and a little addicting!
Not weird at all! It’s actually my favorite Zelda game too. 🙂 I think I’d actually say Majora’s Mask is even more not-Zelda. 😄
…also Marin > Zelda 👀
Did you mean Kingdom Crusade?

I actually have a copy, but haven’t really played it yet. It looks incredible!
It looks great! 🙂
OMG I just came home with a Sanyo DS13320 from the side of the road and I am ECSTATIC!!! It couldn’t be more perfect for an NES, and it looks in great condition externally.
I haven’t plugged it in yet. It doesn’t appear to be wet anywhere outside or inside, so hopefully it was put outside after it rained this morning.
Should I do or check anything before plugging it in and trying to power it on?
