damn, like 10 years ago I used to kind of buy every game I was vaguely interested but now it’s more like would I buy this for current market value? and sell it if no.

I keep that and alabama around because they are so evocative.
It’s me the idiot.
See my beautiful Super Famicom collection has dissapeared. It isn’t this apartment, it isn’t at my in-laws. It remains a mystery. Not even you know to play it, because I can play Super Famicoms on a dozen different things. Just the principle that it is missing and I can’t figure out what the hell happened to it. It’s been driving me nuts for two weeks now. I’ll look for a third time when I go see my in-laws for New Years. Maybe I’ll find it!
That isn’t even the point, because right behind my head is a Super Famicom and about 12 games. See I went to one of the last Real Game Stores in Tokyo. I had looked up online and found out the last few named Famicom stores had closed without fanfair when I wasn’t looking. I had to go deep on the Seibu Ikebukuro to go to G-Fan. It was a beautiful store, of the old style. Just piles of stuff in every corner of it’s closet space. It had twin sticks for both the saturn and the dreamcast and Lady Rude would have destroyed me if I had brought that home.
My brain was so consumed with WHERE IS MY SUPER FAMICOM I bought another super famicom and games. This has guranteed one way or another 2024 is the year of the Super Famicom for me. I got home and after the kid was asleep cleaned up the cartridges and console with a Game Cleaner I had bought a few years ago and as far as I can tell do doesn’t do shit.
Playing Yossy Island and Prime Champ on real hardware did not fulfill me. I keep thinking “where’s my Super Famicom?” I am probably gonna turn around and sell this Super Famicom and games I got for a reasonable price and the games I bought off yahoo auctions the same day.
I know part of this is stress buying, certainly. Hooking up the SFC to take down at bedtime so it isn’t hogging up the room when my kid wakes up is a hassle. We only have one real TV in this apartment. the MiSTeR is right there, and beautiful and perfect. All of this would have closure if my SFC had been stolen, or sold, or was at a friend’s house and I just forgot I did that when I had a kid.
I read through the Super Famicom Catalog Mook and the final list for what I had in that gold shopping bag is pretty long. It was certainly too long.
I didn’t need another physical object I had just last week been looking at selling stuff like Phantom Pain Tiny Arm and The Actual Book of Myst, for real. I had been reflecting how much of my collection I would haven’t been that sad had it disspeared like the Super Famicom collection did. I think because I always wanted a Super Nintendo as I kid and then I did have one. I actually bought it and picked up new glasses and my first leather jacket all on the same day on Dec 13th 2006. Quite the day.
And like if I do find my SFC it is going straight to a professional to recap everything. 30-35 year old hardware buddy.
thanks for reading, I’ll get over myself eventually.

I caught myself googling “is Ayo the Clown any good” yesterday, which I think tells me my Switch collection is done.
There’s some stuff coming down the pipeline and a handful of imports I’m eyeballing, but beyond that, I think I want that to be it for me and game collecting.
Time to crack my knuckles and backlog til the heat death of the universe.

The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle (GB)
DMG-BB-USA-1 is the Nintendo “MILLION SELLER” 1998 re-issue, after Kemco’s 1990 DMG-BB-USA. Identical ROMs as far as I’m aware.

I used to rent the NES version as a kid when we went to the video store.
Back then I really liked it but now it just looks kind of mediocre.

I had the GB one as a kid, didn’t even know there was an NES one until this past week! But it doesn’t have whatever it is that still makes me happy about the GB one. Maybe it’s just that the GB sprites are relatively much larger and faster on the screen, and the key notes of the music are cranked up more, I dunno.

The crazy castle series is a mess. It goes from loony tunes to bill and Ted to ghostbusters to Mickey Mouse

Don’t forget Woody Woodpecker, Kid Klown, and Garfield. ^ _^ First GB one is the only one I had. Don’t think there was Bill & Ted in the CC series? I did have a Bill & Ted GB game though, it was all right.
Holy cow that was Beam Software. I’d have re-bought it but don’t want to have the powerups flashing at my eyeballs for hours.

Mickey’s Dangerous Chase (GB)
Two US releases, 1991 DMG-MC-USA from Capcom and 1997 DMG-MC-USA-1 “Players Choice” from Nintendo. Both are super cheap on eBay so I dumped one of each: ROMs are identical. Title screen still uses the JP title, “Mickey’s Chase.”
Was paranoid about checking both versions because Wikipedia’s entry on the game Mickey's Dangerous Chase - Wikipedia says “It also comes with support for the Super Game Boy hardware device.” But using Mesen’s GB, GBC, SGB, and SGB2 settings, I can find no SGB features in the MDC ROMs I’ve been able to find online or in the ones I’ve dumped. Wikipedia’s reference for the claim is The Game Boy Database - Mickey's Dangerous Chase , which says only “Super GB support: Yes.” As far as I can tell–testing it with my actual dumped SGB and SGB2 ROMs in Mesen, but not in an actual SNES/SFC–this is erroneous. Wikipedia’s own SGB game list List of Super Game Boy games - Wikipedia does NOT include the game.
Possibly someone assumed some sort of special color support from seeing the game in the default GBC palette, in which Mickey’s shorts happen to come out light reddish-brown.
