Off Topic: Graded video games

This brings back a lot of memories for me ...

In 1996, I was in middle school and my older sister purchased an N64 system for me. This was my first-ever console. I wanted Super Nintendo when I was younger (so that I could play Street Fighter), but my dad's friend's little son had a seizure while playing with his console and my dad always thought that they rotted our brains. What my dad didn't understand was that this kid was ALREADY suffering from epilepsy (or something like that!) Anyhow, I wasn't allowed to have one until my teens (thanks to my sister!)

SUPER MARIO 64 was one of the first games I played after getting my N64. I rented it from a nearby video store. It did make me feel dizzy a few times since I wasn't used to the 3D graphics, but eventually I got used to it.

My favorite N64 game of all-time will always be GOLDENEYE though. It was a first-person shooter game and my buddy and I would play it for hours!



Best years of my life, man. There is no card that can bring back that happiness for me.

Most likely Rally or Collectable or similar company bought it. Not surprise!

Sorry, i don't know how to name companies like Rally and Collectable.... Group buy collectors company???

I want to say it's ridiculous, but here we are a good majority of us collecting pieces of cardboard with pictures of dead people on them. Hey if you have the money, and it makes you happy, I'm not going to question it.

I've got a mint Atari Star Wars stand up arcade cabinet from 1983.. wonder if they grade those too.

Vector graphics were the best
