Title: Old Roms
Description: You got any?


HellAvatar - November 3, 2005 01:48 AM (GMT)
This topic is all about all those games on Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo and Nintendo that have Roms that you can play on your comp.

If anyone needs any, I got a CRAPLOAD of rommed games.

But not any of Sonic... Which is why this is not a Sonic gaming topic! XD

So... Anyone wants any specific roms or maybe a way to play them?

I used to have a flanload (not cursy, see?) of ROMs on my comp.

Mostly Megaman and Metroid. :D They are awesome games!!

What kinds d'ya have, HA?

EDIT: Bearer of bad news time.

QUOTE
Hmmm, I've been doing a lot of thinking, lately, and I've actually been thinking that the cons may outweigh the pros. Roms are a bit more serious than MP3s, and I've seen message boards get shut down in the past for having roms... it might be too risky to do. Besides that, Sonic wants his Ferrari!

So, I voted against. Sonic needs to be able to afford flan. The poll's still open, but my opinion has been stated, nontheless.


That's CPoC in the Should We Advocate Roms? thread in feedback, if you choose 'from the beginning'. He's against them. So... tread carefully? GS, you decide.... I'd love to talk about this, but say what you think CPoC would say about the continuation of this topic. I'm hardly impartial. XD

Some of the more rare ones. For Nintendo I have...

Let me see... I'll make a list.

Abadox
Bionic
Castlevania 1, 2 and 3
Contra force
Crystalis (Best game I've played on Nintendo)
Destiny of an Emperor
Dragon Warrior 1, 2, 3 and 4
Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3
Ikari warriors 1, 2 and 3
Kid Icarus
Legend of Zelda 1 and 2
Megaman 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
Metroid
Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 and 3
Rygar
Shatterhand
Strider
Super Mario Bros 1, 2 and 3
and of course Tetris XD

EDIT: You could have said before... If it's against CPoC, then it;s up to him, really. But if you find this thing offensive, then lock it, delete it, and make it nonexistent. Heck... Be a Chrono Legionaire for a little while!

No idea what that means, HA. XD I was never against it, but I was cautious. I don't think discussion falls into something that could get us in trouble. But we'll let GS decide. :)

Crystalis, eh? Shall look some of these up... think I'm-a go to sleep, now, though. XD

*Puts on Judge's Robe*
*Sits on Bench*
*Takes out Gavel*

Eh hem. Judge GS's court is now in session.

GS: Here ye, here ye, for the first court case of GS's Court.

Seeing as how CPoC has already decided that the Rapid Board shall not advocate Roms, just to be on the safe side of legality, I would have to say that any trading/selling roms over the board would qualify as a violation of the guidelines, and would have to result in the closing and/or deletion of topic in question, and/or warning level increase for members in question, and/or, in a sever case, possible temporary suspension and/or banishment of members in question.

However, the mere DISCUSSION of roms does not, in my opinion, violate the terms and guidelines of the board as set by CPoC, therefore DISCUSSING roms is perfectly acceptable.

However, because of CPoC's decision, I must warn you that if you plan to trade and/or sell roms, you must do it via AIM, MSN, Yahoo or some other messenger service -- NOT the IRC channel, as that is part of the forums, and NOT on the Private Messager service that is a part of the Rapid Board.

*Bangs Gavel*

And that's the ruling. Of course, CPoC still has final say and can overturn said ruling if he wants to; but I doubt he would since it was his choice not to advocate roms in the first place.

Thanks, GS...

I'll make sure to wait up though until CPoC comes back. Don't want another friend on my ass with threads of deleting me off the board and banning me forever from both the IRC room and the site.

GS: Court dismissed, bring in the dancing lobsters!

XD Allright, GS I can deal with that. ...Except for the warning level part. :o Oh noes! Please don't raise my warn level! :cry:

HA, if you think we'll even go so far as to give you a warn, you've got something coming... or, more accurately, nothing coming. So discuss away. ^_^ I won't ask you to trade and/or sell anything.

:D Thanks, Judge GS!

GoldenSama - November 4, 2005 12:18 AM (GMT)
Heheheh. I don't think I CAN raise your warning level anymore, BR. XD

And don't worry -- it's been a while since CPoC talked about roms, so NOBODY will get any punishment for this. If you want to trade/sell Roms, just do it off the rapid board so we don't get in trouble. Feel free to talk about them, just not facilitate or promote their sales/trades on here.

And... uhh... about those dancing lobster. *Burp* Well, I got hungry before the show, and I LOVE seafood.....

HellAvatar - November 4, 2005 12:20 AM (GMT)
Whoa...

Well then! Shall we commence in the praising and talking about the older games that were AWESOME???

Like Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2)

Thaty game is the best SNes game in my opinion, followed up by Chrono Trigger.

BR, GS, you guys bring a tear to my eye. A tear of joy. [/Stimpy]

*ahem* Anywho, ya, discuss all ya want, just don't post any roms or links to roms. Do it out of respect for your favorite blue rodent. He wants to buy a new pair of running shoes.

x_x Btw, I still don't have internet access... but I was able to get on, anyhow. Twice in one month, what luck! Man... I miss the internet...

HellAvatar - November 4, 2005 02:35 AM (GMT)
Hey, CPoC.

Thanks. I wanted to speak to you though, and looks like we are ALL anxious of getting you back.

Clown Prince of Crime - November 4, 2005 02:42 AM (GMT)
Ya, I've been noticing that... I'm flattered, too. I was afraid everyone was gonna forget about me. XD

Right now my time is limited, though. :(

BlueRush - November 11, 2005 12:52 AM (GMT)
Say, anybody remember that old Genesis game Landstalker or something? I loved that game, but cannot find a rom ANYwhere.

And that is saying something. I'm pretty good at finding stuff like that. Anybody see it?

Say, HA, ever play any of the Megaman Zero games?
