Yeah. I worked in at GameStop from 2001 to late 2010. Most of that time was as assistant manager. Home office was in Grapevine, TX. I never hear of any expansion outside of that unless I am totally out of the loop. A lot of people back then were worried about the longevity of the company. A lot of big shots left in the last few years I was there. I couldn't imagine them expanding at all when they were already hitting a pretty big decline. I'll be glad when they are gone. Shitty company to work. The way they treat their used games is almost as shitty as they way they treat their employees.

Do you have to be a Mr. Wizard to replace the batteries? I'm a retard with a sodering iron. I'd love to have Shadowrun on the Genesis again, but the one my friend borrowed to me didn't save.

Being a retard will do just fine.
All you need at the very least is nothing but a soldering iron, that's it. Preferably something to pry the battery away when the 2 solder points are heated and some fresh solder as well, but you could just reapply a new battery to the existing. Just tip to solder, goes liquid, pull up one side, then the other. Hold tabbed battery over space where old was, re-heat existing solder and the tab will attach to it, same on the other side. About the best and worst way if you don't apply more solder to make sure it sticks.
I'm no expert and I can handle them on any handheld gaming cart, 8/16bit carts, etc. Even done large ROM chip transplants from board 1 to board 2 for Genesis before.

You'll probably be happy to know that the forum as it once was is now a ghost town of bad code and pages that don't work

I wish I could look at my old posts from 2003 on gamers.com and gameinformer. That was the beginning of the end right there

I got the email about the Gamestop credit card also. I think you should sign up for it.
