I'm hoping someone will donate those Ray, I agree they would be good choices. I do have Mario 64, but it's one of my favorite games, so I'm afraid I'm just not wiling to part with that one.

GameOver- Your package of games arrived last night. Thanks!

I don't know if I should give this stuff to Tyler as it comes in, or if I should wait until I have a big pile of stuff and give it to him all at once. What do you guys think?

Oh, and as it turns out, Tyler is a big fan of fighters, so if anyone has one or two they're willing to part with that would be great!

Ok, I'll be sending SSX3, MVP Baseball 2005 and whatever else I can dig up.

Only just noticed this thread.

I have some Dreamcast games I'd gladly donate but I'm not sure if they'll play in a US Dreamcast...I'm guessing not without a swap-disc. Let me know if there is a solution...I can't remember off hand what games I have except Tomb Raider & Jet Set Radio.

Thanks for the offer Minwah. I'm not sure if the DC is region encoded or not. Anyone?

I think I remember that if you copy one, you can change the region code on it. I have never tried it myself but I'm pretty sure I remember that, and it does stand to reason that it could be done simply.

Given a moment to consider, it's probably irrelevant. Postage from GB would probably be prohibitively expensive.

Most worthwhile DC games can be downloaded and burned easily anyway.

I will start burning games tonight. I will add a list to the thread before shipping. If I leave off any must have games let me know and they will be added prior to shipping.

[edit]
So far I've burnt about 25 CD's and am only up to Crazy Taxi 2 working alphabetically.

Stingray · « **Reply #49 on:** September 26, 2005, 08:49:08 am »

Let me know if you need me to help cover the cost of the CDs or anything.

Haven't had the chance to mail yet, sorry about that.

Gotta say, how many of those games are for a kid? Crazy Taxi has no place in the hands of a 9 year old.

If we are going to corrupt the kid by sending him burnt games. Why stop there? Someone send the kid a hooker and case of scotch....

While I'm sure that would make his year, somehow I doubt it would endear me to his parents.

You're just trying to have your name listed as the last person to post in every thread!

You're nuts. The only problem with Crazy Taxi is how quickly it becomes boring.

ChadTower · « **Reply #58 on:** October 05, 2005, 08:58:02 am »

Could we avoid threadcrapping in a sticky about donating games to a handicapped kid?

Stingray · « **Reply #59 on:** October 05, 2005, 09:54:11 am »

Any new interest in this? A lot of people seemed interested in sending stuff, but only a couple actually did, at least so far.

Every time I see him he reiterates to me that he likes fighters and "adventure" games. I'm not sure if by adventure he means platformers or maybe something along the lines of ICO/ Beyond Good & Evil/ Tomb Raider. I'm thinking I may go out and buy him a game or two today at lunch. I'm not a big fighter fan, what's a good one on the PS2?

On the subject of what is or isn't appropriate, any games that I get that I'm not familiar with, I'll be sure and let his parents know that I don't know if it's a good game for kids and just let them make the call. These are really good people and they're very appreciateive of everything we've done for them. I don't think they'll get mad if a game that they think he shouldn't be playing slips through.

I'll get my stuff sent out Saturday morning. Apologies for the delay, and if you could resend me the address, I'd appreciate that.

Stingray · « **Reply #61 on:** October 05, 2005, 10:32:37 am »

Address sent via PM. Thanks again.

Goz · « **Reply #62 on:** October 06, 2005, 09:45:09 am »

-S-

Can you also resend me you address.

I've got nearly everything burnt and the rest is boxed and ready.

Stingray · « **Reply #63 on:** October 06, 2005, 10:12:12 am »

Sent

Stingray · « **Reply #64 on:** October 18, 2005, 11:50:18 am »

Mods- I guess there's not really any more interest in this. Feel free to unsticky it. Big thanks again to the guys who sent stuff.
