That game wasn't just a piece of history that you destroyed but also the work of many people who probably have lost something of theirs forever. You could have just disappeared and not mentioned it again, or just sold it. Why would you let 2,000 dollars go out like that?

Hey Climax Together, I have, in my house, the only surviving M2 3DO home console!

Oops, I guess I just hit it. Repeatedly. With a hammer.

Damn, it had some sweet games too.

That smashed cart has to be a joke right? Who in their right mind would smash a cart that could get 2000 dollars for?

As a game programmer and a collector, i'm stunned.

That settles it, if i actually get the copy i ordered online, i'm dumping it.

This has got to be the strangest topic I have ever seen on this board. o_O

this is a tragedy like romeo & juliet, perhaps now the collectors and the pirates will see what all the fighting has done and come to terms with each other.

Someone wanted to pay 2000$ for this??? I was only offered 800, and that's just a week's pay.. I guess I shouldn't have done this, but it was irritating to have everyone contacting me about it.

Next time don't listen to all the people trying to force you into doing what you don't want to do. Do what YOU want, not want others want.

You can still re-assemble the chip board, sir. If you have some glue or something I'm sure you can repair it and it will still work (even if the surface is scratched).

At least if this has really happened, I hope everyone learns a lesson about these kinds of things. :\

Clearly the rom pirates are to blame for this. If more people had told him to never share the game with anyone, this would have never happened. The collectors making insulting lowball offers were only doing so in his best interest, to make sure the cart fell into the right hands. I only wish they had gotten to him sooner.

Climax Together · Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2005 8:19 pm Post subject: RE:

I don't care what they say, destroying the cart wasn't even a smart way to resolve things, how about just ignoring everything or editing the thread and say you made it up. Destroying it was as childish as all of the shit going on here. I'm in a neutral position ATM. I don't know who to blame because at the core of everyone they're all responsible in some way or another. I mean, couldn't they have had some sort of decent negotiation? Damn it.

I'm with TheRedEye on this one, this thread is hilarious. You guys just don't quit. Seriously, just laugh it off, and forget about it.

Let's just say this:
Everyone was being selfish, one way, or another. The collectors AND the ROMers all had some selfish motive (the exception being DreamTR for once in this case) at heart, so I think it's safe to say that many of us were being a bit fascist in this case.

At least try to repair and sell the cart. >:\
