Guess the Cart Contest! Where we, the members of NintendoAge, post up a blank labled cart (usually due to damage and missuse) and seek out anyone who can guess what the cart is. The person with the correct guess gets to have their name and avatar on the newly printed cart label and given to them as a trophy!

This list is here to show the current running guessing game sessions (stated so in green), as well as show off the carts and the people who win them (those sessions ended will be stated so in red)

If any winner wants to show off their cart when they recieve it, just comment here with a pic and I'll add it to the list!

Okay, so now with some rules/guidelines for the games. I don't wanna call them 'official' or 'set in stone' kind of game rules, just something worth mentioning by suggestion. These 'guess the cart' games should be fun, and if you decide to host, what you do is up to you. You don't have to take these to heart. Again, these are only suggestions. If you want to suggest a rule, please post whatever!  :3

~~Simple suggested guidelines~~

*Your game, your rules. But be specific. No takebacks? Raffle drawings? Game clues? It's up to you. That's what makes it fun. More than likely, a thing to note is that when telling the time, we should all go by NA time. Also, do not do anything that goes against the rules and guidelines of the forum's rules.

*Games don't have to be held everyday. It could put stress on me trying to keep up (Even though I volunteered). lol Plus confusing to people trying to participate in guessing.  Maybe every few days in between or a weekly thing, but if you gotta have it the next day, it's fine... there's no big penalty if you do. :3

*Don't start a game while someone else has one at the same time. Let's face it, in an event of "accidental coincidence" may something like this be okay. Keep in mind if 2 games or more are running at the same time, it could be confusing for those who aren't keeping up. A good thing to do is announce that you're going to host one on the previous hosted thread after the winner is clarified.

*If you want a custom label your way with your own pic/way you want it to look, just PM me. This includes both winners or hosts. By default, I only put the host's name and icon pic somewhere in the background. When a winner wants or doesn't want their name on the cart label, just let me know and I'll put it on there or leave it blank. Most would probably prefer the name since it's like a trophy.

* Keep tack of the running lists.  A running list is a list posted up every page showing member's names and what guesses they chose, to help the host keep track of everything, and to help everybody else so that they don't accidently guess twice. If someone wants to tackle helping with running lists, or making labels or any help with a game session, PM me or let me know in the comments while a game is running. Any help is definitely appreciated!

*Try to keep these games in the Everything Else part of the forum. If you feel you need to post it anywhere else, please PM me.

*Nintendo related items only. Unless you want to give away other goodies with the cart... Be specific in your rules if you choose to do so. But the cart guess should always be any type of Nintendo game (NES, SNES, Gameboy, N64, NGC, etc...)

*Don't recycle threads. Could get really confusing since people already made guesses on that thread.

So there you have it. Nothing major, good ol' fashioned fun. Again, any suggestions, or anything else you want to add, please add comments here. Let's make these "guess the cart' games fun for everyone and make it a good tradition here on NA.

Vader, look at what you have done! xD Have fun, guys and gals!

jordiway told me something that seemed to be a pretty good idea. Whoever wins should be the one to start the next "guess the cart" and we can keep it going that way. I was going to do #3 until i saw someone else start it. this is also just a suggestion.

The only issue I would see with that is how difficult it can be to come by carts without labels or damaged labels. Not everyone buys games without labels, but most people will try to score one for free.

or if not to deface a cart, take a pic of the BACK of the game so everyone isn't peeling labels , that's all uncalled for, LOL

^ Good points there guys. I would suggest it be open to anybody, since it could be more fair to others who want to try to host one. Just my opinion. Then again, you run the risk of running 2 shows accidentally too. I say keep it open to anyone, but just be on your P's and Q's. (old white boy saying, don't ask)

As far as not damaging labels, I would only do that to super common games, repros, or anything along those lines UNLESS it's a uncommon game with 2/3rds of the label is missing or something. (Imagine somebody hosting a mystery Fire n' Ice, lol)
But if you want to turn a cart around, that's a good plan too. No custom label however.

UNLESS... I can make mystery box templates for hosts! Like have a question mark on one side, and the game label on the other! Put the game in the box, take a picture of the "?" mark, and when you're ready to reveal, just turn it around! I can make a template, so you'll have to add the pic and print/cut it yourself--saves a bunch of game sacrificing, and also adds to the mystery! (like is it a 5 screw, 3 screw, gameboy, or what?!?!?! lol)

I have or had if my gf didnt throw them away a few pretty grundgy carts that I didnt really want to touch, that I was considering cleaning and tearing the labels off of and giving away on this forum. And if I can find them I will. I also noticed that someone wanted to down grade there collection on this site. I cant remember who, but add these games to your collection and it will hit an ultimate low. However I would never deface perfectly good game, thats blasphemy.

^ I think I remember that thread, he was trying to find the crappiest of them all. Anyone remember that thread? lol Interesting thing to do if you're tired of collecting all minty stuff.

As for defacing a good game, you should see what I go through when I clean them at the local game store I work at. OMG the horrible mess... From rental stickers tearing off labels, to roach guts on the contacts... it's a sad sight sometimes.

That would be Paul. LOL

meh, well I can't think of anything to add, but I agree with whats been started so far my brain is fried so maybe I will come up with something later.

See my signature It's a collection that's the opposite of most everyone else.

Must try to upgrade their carts to the mintiest. I'm trying to downgrade to the crappiest, worst looking game possible, with cracked or missing plastic carts being my personal favorite.

too bad you don't collect gameboy games paul, i've got a tecmo bowl that would make even you proud to own, i'll send you a pic of it tomorrow. LOL it still works if i remember right.

If you ever win a "guess the cart' game, your label should consist of no more than duct tape and a permanent marker... or lack thereof.  lol

Bump! Edited the first post. We got a new winner!!! 8D Label will be posted soon. :3

I thought has struck me, since so far we have had NES and Game Boy then I propose that any cart could be used N64,Snes etc personally I would keep it nintendo related since this is Nintendo Age after all.

edit: seeing a few of us agree we should keep the games in the Nintendo vein I have omitted the mention of sega (no offense to any fans out there)

^ If it's mostly Nintendo related, I can see why not. :3 The only problem would we run in would be "guess the Pokemon game" or something. lol

ya should be nintendo related games - famicom works too

sega games would probably go to SegaAge.

heck even if its a white wii case and you have to guess the game - it works (same for GC too lol)

^ That's a great idea too! Dude, I would love to make art inserts too! Going back on my "mystery box" templates, I could fashion one up for DVD cases and let the host use them (or they can let me put a pic there after the guess game is done, if the host isn't photoshop savy). Have one side a "?" mark and the other the image of the game. I'll post results here in this thread after I'm finished making them.

Also, updated the top with rokubungi's game. That game started pretty fast. XDD

Bump.

Ok... I could have sworn I seen somebody comment about defacing carts, but anyway a new suggestion I thought (or someone mentioned, I think it was Bounce?) if someone wanted to use a common cart that still has a good label they can mask it or flip the cart over. And as for a NA branding for carts with lables maybe create a small lable that can be printed off to attach below the label sorta like the Stadium Events repro that was done here sometime ago (not the one nespro is/was working on)

Also if someone out there wishes maybe like once a month, twice a year or whatever introduce a special cart. Maybe something uncommon but not rare but make the game a bit more exotic with say riddle type hints or something make it kinda hard but fun too.

Just ideals I am firing off anyone else is also free to add to to omit or even comment.


off note has anyone seen or heard from Vader? I am curious who won the Knight Rider and to poke blame at him for starting all this excitement, and that we seem to have taken control of.

I love the "monthly/yearly special" idea! Hopefully someone will pick up on that! I guess we could mark it on Vader's game as the anniversary.

And yeah, what happened to Vader? I'm not sure if the prize was the cart since his title post said:

"The Prize will be a small box full of goodies for you to do what you please with, nothing special just a box filled with random game stuffs!"

So I dunno... but I do know that this guess the cart game has gotten a lot of attention so far thanks to him, so hopefully many more fun games to come! 8D

Update with new host. I thought it was 2 separate people, but it turns out to be 1 host with 2 separate games. Hopefully you won't mix them up, bro. lol

Game #6 was won by MrClutch game was Wave Race 64 (think it ended in like 5 minutes after it started) LOL

pictures were posted of the cart mr clutch will be receiving if anyone is curious.

^ I'll still see about making label art even though there's already a label on it. XD

Also, added this to first post. (Anyone else wants me to add yours, then send pics!) :



Thanks again, Brian! :3

I was hoping a winner would start posting pics, ahh that's nice I can't wait till I win one it will be displayed proudly.
