Here's another craigslist posting:

http://columbia.craigslist.org/vgm/1924483611.html
Quote
why go spend hundreds of dollars on games you more than likely will get bored off. If you have a Pc, I have the tools to turn it into a mega gaming arcade machine. If you have old school favorites from sega, nintendo, super nintendo. If you like mario, sonic, mortal kombat, dug dig, I can put any title or arcade game on your pc. You will never be bored again for $60 you get over 50 titles I can bring it to you or you can pick it up. Serious Gamers Only


It's such an odd little post. If you're selling emulated games like this illegally, what's with the "over 50"? I thought the "Serious gamers only" and inconsistent capitalization was cute too.

I have more than 50 Xbox, GC, PC, etc games and I get bored of them.  His must be fancy titles!  Maybe he has missw96 in his set of games.   :laugh2:

You should post a follow up ad on craigslist stating that you could do it for $59!  Or offer 51 games!

That might blow someone's mind  (like 6 minute abs)

Here's another craigslist posting:


One of the best ways to stop a post like this is to "re:" it and post a link to mame32 or a mame rom site, or here at least :)

You are suggesting posting a link to a ROM site on CL?  Seriously?

Perhaps you could just post a link to Google with the search term in there, but not directly to the rom site.  Sheesh!   :dizzy:

That was just a "for instance", to stop someone from paying $$$ for roms.

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
