I just discovered a great new thing called Stationhead, and it allows me to share and stream my own radio ‘station’ for free 24/7. I was skeptical at first, but was delighted and excited it offered this and so much more!

So let’s talk about a new lesson I’ve learned as a game collector, and what happens when you unknowingly purchase a counterfeit game.⁣ ⁣ I bought Mario Party 2 for the N64 for my wife a week and a half ago. I payed $34.99 (actual value of a loose copy). We finally got around to playing it last night with the kids. Plays great. But the cartridge itself did not. Something felt off about the label. It was too perfect. By that I mean glossy. ⁣ ⁣ Originally N64 carts had matte finish labels. At first my only fear was that I had an original cart with a repro label. That would have sucked, but I could’ve dealt with it. But nope! It gets worse.⁣ ⁣ After doing some research online, I also discovered that the back label was fake, the stamp was missing, the screws are machine cut square (Nintendo had rounded screws) and are in crooked, plus the biggie!......the Nintendo logo that’s etched is WAY off! The border is too small and the dot in the “i” is round (Official carts are square over the “i”).⁣ ⁣ These details all may seem like no big deal right? Like, well the game still plays right? Yes that’s true. But the big point is I paid full original piece value, for a reproduction piece only worth the price of parts. $10 max!⁣ ⁣ Now I’m not going to say where I purchased this from as it’s absolutely not the sellers fault. They were just as unaware as I was. I trust this seller completely and know they had no idea. I’m also not returning it. I’m past that window of time anyways. Plus the wife and kids are all really enjoying this game.⁣ ⁣ What I am going to do, is go back to the seller and point these things out that I’ve mentioned in this post. Show them what to look for. So that going forward, they as well as their future customers don’t get duped.⁣ ⁣ I was never a big N64 guy (so there’s a lot I am still learning as a collector) and have never come across repro carts until now.⁣ ⁣ So like I said, lesson learned. Now I know. And knowing is half the battle.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #nintendo #n64 #mario #marioparty #fake #videogames #retrogaming #counterfeit #reproduction
