Just got the Blade Runner 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition from the UK...

However, since I'm in New Zealand, I can't redeem the UltraViolet download code. So if anyone want it, first in first served...

The one's I've experienced which appear to be fairly common:

Flashing blue screen on the NES
Sound on the Game Gear completely failing
Amstrad CPC disk drive failing to read disks properly

I picked up a second hand one and it works fine when I use original wired joysticks and paddles, but I can't seem to get the bundled wireless joysticks to work at all. Is this a common problem?

Surely the games would still be authentic though? All you're doing is changing the medium they are loaded into the original machine. Lets face it, floppy disks from 20+ years ago, and disk drives from the same era won't last forever. By playing your games from a USB stick with an adapter on the ori...

...and too close to emulation? I was thinking about this as I have an Apple IIGS with a adaptor card that allows me to run disk images from a USB stick, rather than using real disks, and there are also adaptors that can allow the original CRT monitor to be replaced with a modern LCD display (which I...

Added myself to the spreadsheet, it's Apple2Forever, the same as my Xbox Live gamertag.

Don't have anything super-rare or expensive. PAL version of "Rule of Rose" maybe?

The ridiculous fuss about the "sex scenes" in the original Mass Effect. Most of the alleged "offensive content" was completely made up.
