Says the British-American...

FTFY

Could possibly be a conversion. Do you have provenance?

Moot point. Once the game entered France all provenance is lost.

It was likely "made" in France.

I'm kidding with madman.
It' s a legit one.

I'm not going to say that there aren't good-quality American cars, but the fuckin Germans know where it's at. Outside of monetary considerations, there isn't much reason not to buy a German car.

Excellent yt video, roller games is a true hidden gem.

...well, that just makes this all the more tragic:

Oh, the pain.

Uh-oh...
“Buying curiously heavy games with no intention of playing them?” Colectard status: Confirmed!

Looks like it’s even more tragic than I thought. This is what PAL Rollergames is supposed to look like:

“PAL-U5-0”

PAL-W6-0 is actually PAL Isolated Warrior. No “hidden gem” for me.

Clearly, the smugglers mixed up the board, which means they had an Isolated Warrior opened up too. Of course, I already checked the same vendor and the rest of the flea market for a copy of Isolated Warrior. Didn’t find it.

Finally allowed to mention the police, so here’s the call if anyone still doubts it:

Yes, they took the games along with the rest last Sunday. The majority of the time I owned them was literally the trip home.

In all the excitement of last week’s pick-up, I did leave something else out from that day:

It’s my second wired Wii kiosk remote (same vendor that sold me a Wii U kiosk console). Not motion plus though, which I was told is a requirement for Wii U remotes.

Ugh, I can’t stand German cars. Being in the car industry, I can tell you they’re over-engineered, expensive, and very difficult to repair/work on. They’re a pain in the ass compared to Japanese or Korean-made vehicles.

Whenever I see an American car I think... why? why the fuck would you buy that.

Ford Fiesta ST ticks a couple of boxes here:
American company
Built in North America for the American Market (Mexico)
German designed/engineered

What kind of dumbfuck calls the cops about decades old heroin found in a NES cart from a flea market?

It looked vacuum sealed so It'd probably still be alright too.

Last one for awhile, still waiting for my NeoSD to be shipped.

It's probably better than that shit VB Aussie beer in any case.

Trumpito would, and would place the blame on the MS 13 or the bad hombres bringing the heroine to 'Merika.

Great game, i love the pace of it compared to the other FF's, minus special

The kind who already told the public he found it and knows that someone will be asking questions if he doesn’t. I practically live-streamed it and had it uploading to Facebook and YouTube within seconds of recording it.

While it could be “decades old” there’s just as much reason to think it was recently snatched off a front porch and traded in without hesitation barely over a week ago. These articles about drugs in NES game paks are not even two weeks before my find and they are definitely talking about a recent operation (one that has resorted to 3D printing fake NES game Pak shells):

It was almost a year ago when Mexican customs seized live spiders hidden inside Famicom games:

Obviously, the “live” spiders aren’t decades old.

All those Silk Road/Bitcoin users are probably attracted by the empty space, tamper-resistant screws, and enduring value that won’t arouse suspicion when shipped around in the mail.

Earliest report I can find of similar activity is the NintendoAge member who found $5K in Golf for NES (yes: same title as one of mine):

My Golf cart probably made a round trip, first carrying payment and then carrying the packets.

Check out my sig, bro. Look into it.

BMW and Mercedes are always on the top of crap car lists tho. Love BMW but it is what it is.

Got a lot of offers to “make it disappear” before we even identified it.

If it were a copy of Stadium Events inside I totally would’ve fenced that shiz. Probably could’ve bought two copies with the street value of this if I was ready for that kind of life.

Is surprisingly wracked with issues. One of the lowest reliability ratings.

A Ford car with issues? That is surprising!

I have been a BMW owner for over 12 years and have nothing but positive things to say. Just don't take your car to a BMW dealer for regular maintenance. They will rape you. You need to find a good honest mechanic who is not going to bullshit you.

What you guys think of the blue/red? I did have black balltops, but figured 1p/2p might look nice like that. Just got my other set of Sanwa OBSF24's in and a bunch of quick-disconnects... so much wiring will be going on for the next few days.

Snagged D&D: Tower of Doom from themisterfalcon. Thanks again! I also snagged a new battery for the board and a PSX SCART cable from Retro Access for my undamned CPS2.
