got a local library/bookstore that has a "take our free shit" window.
They had 4 ds games there today, mint condition, like spotless stuff.
99% durability on those babys.

I hate to tell you but Wii is retro too
Just 2 more years and Playstation 3 will be retro, if the requirement is being 20 years or older.
Considering I received my first one nearly twenty years ago, yes
Oh no it's all German! :)
oh no, im austrian
Are you ok?
well, i certainly am alive, i think, so that should count for something
Oh no watch out for kangaroos while you learn German. I know I know, watch out for Chamois though
Wow even still with manuals, nice find!
At first I’m like “well my R4 has like every game”
Then I thought “oooOOOo manuals!”
Wow, orcs and elves is actually a great find!
That and Fighting Fantasy where, perhaps, the best first person fantasy games on the system.
yee, orcs and elves was the shit
Oh yeah, Orcs & Elves, one of my absolute favourite games for the DS!
Orcs and Elves was a fun romp. It was hilarious when you tried to rip the dragon off instead of properly haggling and she just straight up fucking burns you
man, i wish i knew dungeon crawlers better, id love to play more quaints ones like that
In terms of Orcs and Elves? Unique.
There was fighting fantasy, Etrian Odyssey, The Dark Spire and ...deep labyrinth (if you want to get REALLY niche)
Edit: Maze of fate. Another niche as hell one
Ill check em out, thanks
But let me elaborate what I meant still
The game never took itself too seriously (drunken dwarfs ghosts are a good example)
The dragon bartering was super fun
Combat was simple but fun(im a smootbrain now, I like simpler stuff)
There's a Avatar game? Can I get the ROM for Lemuroid?
Tons but none of them are good, sadly. Low quality cash grabs
actually, there is even more, gba, ps2, choose your platform and youll find one
Which is the one you got? Which has the best features?
In the future. If we find current games. When booted up. "Failed to connect to server" and the game is good as dead.
DER HERR DER
- An Ugly American
Dude what
I've got two theories as to what that poster was trying to say:
Der Herr Der = Durr Hurr Durr
Or:
Der Herr Der = reference to "Die Bart, Die"
But as to the real meaning: Der Herr Der Elemente = The Master Of Elements
this is like looking at a scholar, discovering new sacred texts, trying to explain it to a filthy commoner (like me), while the commoner stares blankly at the bewildered scholar trying to elborate
Yeah so Der Herr Der is master/lord of the in German, and as an ugly American, I was making fun of how it sounds funny. Sucks to explain such a simple joke...
Ah I see now, I didn't read the subtitle of the avatar game lol. I thought you were leaving a weird angry comment
It's euro-peen for "ableism + america bad."
OH but even better these games appear to be PAL, meaning decidedly not American. Guessing Germany from the German text. So hurr durr right back to him.
