Infidelity, and to all parties who might read this and benefit from it;
I am a vintage NES & SNES games fan; When the N64 came out I sensed a loss of the magic of the pure fun that video games were supposed to be - forget 3D, forget a more virtual experience - As I see it video games are escapism like a 'sword & sorcery' novel... I am a self professed jack of all trades, but I know my own limits ~ maybe it's partially because for me, figuring it out takes away from some of that magic... In years bygone when emulators first started coming out I jumped on board, but playing an NES game on anything other than an actual NES just doesn't feel right. I created an account here to speak up for the people like me who love this trend of homebrew games, but probably won't play any of them if they can't play on an actual cartridge, on the actual system. I hope to play this, and some other games on my systems - but I don't care about the hoopla surrounding the likes of that over the top Flashback release of TLOL. (Although I totally missed the boat, I thought that the Timewalk offerings were cool because they replicated actually buying a game from years bygone.) I read the off tangent stuff against these games being created into cartridges; But as I've understood it, since these aren't actually being created for retail production - none of you should fear 'the man' coming down on you; if anything a company like Flashback might be the only ones actually opening themselves to copyright infringement because they are selling unofficial/copyrighted games... But it seems to me even if a company like Flashback is making a couple bucks it sure can't be too much ~ look at how expensive the 'donor' cartridges for TLOL are currently going for; With a donor cartridge trending at roughly $70, and the expense of all the other stuff, I'd wager the margins are low enough, that you would have to be a fan to do it. I appreciate that so many of you work together to make a game like this happen, but I would hope that some of you would reconsider taking the stance of going out of your way to do homebrew games that specifically cannot be put on a cartridge. |

I made the mistake some time ago of buying a new "zif" connector via ebay;
I am tired of worrying about wrecking my games every time I want to change the cartridge. I threw out my OEM zif connector well over a decade ago; Can someone help me out with a primo OEM new or refurbished/tested 72 pin zif connector for my NES? I found a thread on nintendoage, but when trying to join (I have lurked there on and off for some time), I get the following mesage:
Can anyone here help me source a primo OEM zif connector? Or considering that this site is mostly about homebrew games; Can someone here help me to get registered on Nintendo Age? Thanks!! |
