I got this Zelda pack a couple weeks ago, and have been wanting to open it, but fighting the temptation at the same time. One really awesome thing about it that I do know for a fact, is that these carts are gold like the Zelda carts on NES. That kicks some serious ass, to me.

Let me start with by saying this practice is wrong, utterly wrong, but I have encountered it only once. I found it with Child of Light for PS4, and that's it (Awesome game, BTW). The gaming world will go digital, sooner or later, but consoles have held on to the principle that the buyers rights accosted physical media don't have to disappear. Yes, games are already getting over 100GB on PC, far bigger than a Blue Ray or an affordable Cartridge, so big downloads and online connectivity are a part of this now. However, buying games on physical media, even with the massive download installs you get these days, still grants you rights that game publishers just don't want you to have. That's why physical game media will die, not because digital is the future, but because it's the future ass-hole publishers want. This of course only applies to console users because PC users were willing to sacrifice the rights that physical media offered years ago, so no PC gamer holds any right to sympathy over this. Seduced by their oh so precious Steam, they have been willing to accept basic buyers rights on a drip feed because "Praise Gaben". Yes, I'm a PC Gamer, but I'm no PCMR fanboy hypocrite as I consider the lack of physical media and the buyers rights that go with it a huge disadvantage with the platform. I own no game on Steam, just paid retail price for the right to play it. Digital media is paying for access to games, not actually buying them, and that's what publishers want.

B.S. stands for "Broadcast Satellaview". It's a game that was released only in Japan, and was online for only an hour at a time, for (if I remember correctly) a week or so. Players had to be online at the designated time to play the game. It was kind of a tournament thing that everyone went into completely blind. It's also known as Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets. I have another copy of Stone Tablets, but it's for Super Famicom so I need to buy a SFC. I bought it on eBay, and was under the impression I was getting the SNES copy. I was wrong apparently. The seller didn't accept returns, so I'm stuck with a game I'm unable to play at the moment. I have Goddess Of Wisdom and Parallel Worlds on SNES. I haven't tried PW yet, but I play Goddess until my brain hurts then take a few weeks off. That's because the game is THE MOST INSANELY DIFFICULT GAME IN HISTORY. I have never played a game that was this hard. Don't get me wrong, I love a challenge, but there's a such thing known as moderation. This one is just too much of a good thing. But the most surprising thing about the whole thing is that it's an SNES game. A system that old, has a ROM-hack that is that difficult. This is something I would expect to see on the PS4 or Xbox One. Someone hacks Skyrim, or TLOU or something.

Scalps, toes, souls, the usual. Seriously though, no really. I've got a modest amount of retro gaming stuff and one or two bits of heavy metal memorabilia, but nothing I'd call a collection.
