yup.

I tryed to use one or two to see the game before downloading for VC but somehow it never helped, not the same thing. Even super mario 64 is very dificult to play on the keyboard, maybe if there is some adapter to connect the classic to the pc...

You can connect a N64/Ps2/360/saturn/Dreamcast pad to a pc
Look on ebay for <insert pad name> to pc converter

Paying for games at retail is a scam! Cause you can stuff them in your pants and run like greased lightning instead.

no you cant, well at least not in UK, the actual games are out back of shop or behind the counter, just display boxes on show.

as for paying retail prices, thats why i buy online, its cheaper than stores,

play.com is the best.

hmv, sells classic controllers cheapest though, there classic controller in uk is £11, thats about £4 cheaper than anywhere else in uk

No, an internet pyramid scheme is a scam, and Con-artists and Insurance Salesmen can 'scam' you. The is VC a scam? Get serious. With that logic, EVERYTHING you get for an exchange of currency is a scam.

Everyone says this but I don't think that it's ever been litigated or decided. MP3.com was shut down when the court concluded that downloading a copy of a CD was illegal, even if you prove that you already own it. Some "game copy" sites out there allow you to download a copy under the pretext of backing up games you own. I don't even know if that's allowed in the EULA of most console games.

Please point me to where it says that you can possess a copy of a ROM file.

I really dont see how its a scam, the prices are pretty similar to what you would pay for those games here, oh and btw notice how you dont buy a VC "console" to run the VC games/that makes it cheaper.

Its a perfect way for nintendo to make money on older games, iv purchased Super Mario Brothers, im also going to get the 3rd one.

I think its heaps of fun, half of these games would be a huge struggle to find

EMULATORS ARE NOT ILLEGAL!!!!! WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE REALIZE THAT?!?!?!?

Seriously, emulators and completely and 100% LEGAL. Roms are LEGAL as long as you back them up YOURSELF. Any non-commercial rom you might download from the internet though, is ILLEGAL!

*Uses illegal roms* lol, jk

But, we ARE talking about roms downloaded from the internet, illegally. Not ones you make yourself for yourself.

Also, yeah I accidently said Emulators instead of Roms earlier.

I know a lot of people don't care if it's legal or not.
I just try and stick with the original console, 'cause the controller setup, but if it's near impossible for me, I'll get a remake of the game, or the VC version.
