Sounds like i need to!
You really do. FM3 is one of my favourite ps1 games. Wish there were more SRPGs like it instead of always being fantasy based.

Front Mission 3 is a brilliant game. Another one with 2 huge campaigns. Very rewarding and you can get it for PS3 and Vita on the PSN.

Oooo, Im tempted by that. But I've got nothing worth trading it for, unfortunately. Unless someone wants Winter Games, Summer Games and World Games on C64? I know it's not worth as much, though.

C'mon, man... im sure you could sweeten that deal up just a tad to make it a more even trade.
That is a new and sealed DS game Nokgod is offering, dude.

As per the rules set out at the start of the thread I don't really think that value wise the 64 games are a fair replacement for a new, sealed DS game. However at the start of the thread I also said that Nokgod has a free reign to co-moderate this with me as this is merely an extension of what he started. With that in mind I will leave it up to Nokgod to decide if he's happy with the replacement.
Also I'd like to offer up this...
its an unboxed Metroid Fusion cart. I tested it today and its fully operational.

I'd love to let JSW have it but I think 3 C64 games seems a little bit of a one sided deal when all said and done. I can see this thread descending into ever lower denominations of replacements....which is not what gman intended and is going to take some tough love to keep control of. There needs to be a (nearish) parity of value or this thread isn't going to work.
I will be putting up another DS game in the other random niceness thread shortly, i don't mind what that's replaced with.....so keep your eye on that one, JSW

I agree with you, Nokgod.
And I really don't mind administering the tough love and being seen as the villain of the piece
It really is no offence intended JSW, with the best will in the world I want people to put things in the thread safe in the knowledge that something of roughly equal value will replace it (see No.2 in my OP). Please, please don't take it personally
Im not expecting much of a replacement for my unboxed Metroid cart precisely because it is that... unboxed.

Hi G-Man, would a sealed copy of Spirited Away (Studio Ghibli) on DVD be a fair replacement for that? I think its the double disk version though it doesn't actually say, it has a healthy looking list of extras though.
I know it's not gaming related but I believe there are quite a few Anime fans on here. Still, if you feel it might go unclaimed in this thread then it might be better off in the other thread, if your happy with that?

That's fine, pratty.
PM me your details and I will post out Saturday.
Would you be able to provide a picture of the replacement please?

Thanks.

Unfortunately I'm afraid I don't have a digital camera, or a image hosting account. I assure you it does exist and is sealed if that's what you're gettign at? I'll surely be exposed if it isn't when i send it.
I just looked up on Amazon and it seems it may only be a single disk, as there are two editions on there (a 2003 and a 2005) and they both only have one disk, I was under the impression they did a set with extras, and a basic disk without. For what it's worth mine says 2005 on the back of the box, and it has the following extras "Introduction by John Lasseter, The Making Of Spirited Away, Behind The Microphone, Meet Hayao Miyazki," and an assortment of trailers.

That's the one, cheers.
Although my copy also has a Jonathan Ross quote of approval on the cover. Does that make it better or worse?
