I don't think injured/hospitalized children want to play old video game like turbo or neo. And I don't think they've ever heard/owned Neo Geo system either.

You would be wrong, Ive seen everything down to a sega master system in hospitals.
Ive given away plenty of 8bit & 16 bit games.

Many hospitals, Like the shriners Hospital help children, & they do it for free.
based on monetary donations. From people liek you & me.
Hospitals also take free systms & games.
they dont spend money on new systems, as they are expensive.

You should look into it, maybe even contribute rather than destroy.

PS Raiden Project; Turbo Raiden

Those dont sound like turbo or neo games to me.

Sides your wrong, NEC had a huge program of giving Turbos & Duos to needy children foundations.

As a result, there are many childrens care shelters that have turbo's to entertain
abused/injured childern.

I pay for those games and I can do whatever I want. They are my games. I can scratch the CD, destroy the box, and paint the manuel.

Seems like you and other guy love to call me WHINERS, what's your problem? I thought you are a pretty cool fellas here but sometimes you get into my nerve. If you were joking then I apologize not understanding your joke. If you try to make fun of me then you're a nothing-to-do punk.

From the past posts, what did I whine about? About AES price, about NGF carts, and other things. I just speak up and not just sit there and complain. Then I've decided to get out of Neo world so I'll not "whine" about those ridiculous prices everywhere. If you think I'm a whiner, then don't let me see you whine about anything in the future

Shows what little you know, keep the ignorance coming.

Collectors buy 1 copy for themself.
How does that hurt anyone?
Same as any other gamer.

What jacks up the price, is people selling carts, and doing so just to make a profit.

Watching someone buy a game on ebay, then selling the exact same game for a higher price. Thats the kinda stuff that hurts us all.

But keep your haterd misguided as it is.
Its part of your charm I guess.

I'll keep in mind. If I have games or systems I'm no longer interest or can't sell, I'll give them to those kids. At least they can enjoy as much fun as we do.

Thats very true, but if u can hate to see people collect games, why cant we hate to see people destroy games?

Keep in mind that I don't "hate" but "dislike" collector. There is big different between those two words. So you "hate" or "dislike" me destroy games? Seems like people want to start a war with me again.........after three days cease fire with other dude.

 

[Liquid Snake]

Just wish we can stay in peace.....
I already said I'll redeem myself not "throw away" games no more..... <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">

 

[nick_th_fury]

No, i dont dislike you.
I hate seeing games destroyed, thats just a shame.

I was once hospitalized for weeks as a child.
thats why i care & am passionate bout that subject. twas once me. & I was thankful as a kid to get to play some older donated toys.

 

[nick_th_fury]

I agree, I hadnt seen you other post before i started responding there.

Im not out to be mad at u at all.
I just really hate to see someone toss em.
One mans trash is anothers treasure as they say.

 

[Liquid Snake]

Cool.
Apologize for being rude at first.

Will keep in mind in the future to bring more joy to those kids.

Children's Hospitals often treat patients up to 18 years old and being able to play games and take your mind off your illness for a while is great therapy. They are happy to get whatever games and systems you have to give, (no MA-17 stuff though I would guess), and patients are happy to play anything. They are a great home for games and systems that you care to pass along. Kudos to those who donate!

I was a patient at a childrens hospital, and they gave me a piece of shrinkwrapped bread to eat.

I threw away games because I'm no longer interest in them. I'm just a gamer so I don't want to keep those games if I don't want to play them again. I'll start give games away if I can't sell them.

Speaking from experience, I would like to ask you something. How do you know that they would not want them? I just spent all of april in the Childrens Mercy Hospital, in case you forgot. And I spend alot of time there throughout the year, admitted for long stays every 6-8 months. The children there have a playroom with a N64 donated by Nintendo with only 3 games. Ken Griffey Jr., Banjo-Kazooie, and Wave Race, along with two controllers that barely work. Some floors do not have any type of games at all. The child life department relies almost entirley upon donations for entertainment for the children being cared for. None of the clinics have anything for children to do other than play with infant toys mounted on the waiting room walls. They would love to get anything they could, as up until a 2 years ago, all they had were NES which were stolen long ago. They are really good people and I am lucky to count them as my friends. If you realy want to get rid of any game stuff contact:

The Childrens Mercy Hospital
2401 Gillam Road
Kansas City, MO 64180

Or call: 816-234-3000, and ask for Child Life

Alot of those kids have nothing at home, and what the hospital has is heaven for them.


P.S. Sorry if I sounded preachy, it just really hits home to me. The Childrens Mery Hospital has been something of a second home my entire life. And it will continue to be, since they treat many adults with chronic diseases who can't get quality treatment at a regular hospital.

If it's just your Neo Geo collection my Neo Geo system I bought for $280 on E-Bay a while back. I have about $200 worth of MVS games and an MVS to AES conveter ( not arcade one) $200. So, give or take a few, around $700-800.

The rest of my collection is another story.

 

[bwi]

SS walk to any kid in a street and ask them if they would like your old game (if they have the system) and they would love it (you'd probably make there day or week even).

To me you just seem a little strange at times.

As to my Neo collection ermm about $1000 , but hell im only after the games a i want (about 12) and that is it , im out <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

a little strange? about what?
No one says I have to walk to kids and ask them if they want the old games.

Am I crazy?

Old games and systems will give to either children hospital or anyone who wants it.

Not to the kids on the street. Do you think they'll give me crack for gratitude instead?

I just don't understand what he means and that's it.

Anyway, several posts are away from topic.

Mercedez, don't tell me you don't argue <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
It's BBS/internet so I love to argue <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
