I bet this has been discussed before, but can we get support for trading NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn, N64, original GameBoy, ect. They will fit in the 6x9 mailers for the most part and aren't much different in weight compare to disc games with cases.
I love the site, this is my only complain/gripe.
It has been discussed before, and all I know, is its never gonna happen.
I've heard it mentioned that because of how some of these formats functioned, something to do with internal game saving or clocks or doodads or...something....that the database that Goozex uses does not offer these formats as a result.
I think the question is, would there really be enough demand for such old, dead formats to support an endeavor from Goozex to do all the hard work it would take just to add such formats?
I mean with Movies it made sense...people will freakin' buy movies....there's money to be made off of it...but even then, do they trade VHS copies? Nope.
Some things just won't be offered on Goozex.
For the latest news on Games, Movies, and everything geeky!

BEST. IDEA. EVAR!!!!!
About the only one that should happen is Saturn, but it won't and this has been mentioned more times than anyone can count. Please try and use the search function....
The rovi database they use doesn't have those games in it, and they would have to license a newer version or a different company to do it, plus code in more options, deal with a bigger server load, more issues with feedback/trading due to non working carts/batteries, etc etc. It would be a way bigger clusterfuck that the movie beta when it was first released by far.
Goozex refuses to allow the trade of games on the cartridge based systems you mentioned because of the internal save battery that is in the cartridges. You could receive a game, and the save battery could die the next day, so I guess Goozex is just saving us from that
But the Sega Saturn does not use cartridges and its catalog is on the database site that Goozex uses, so it makes no sense that there is no trading of Saturn games taking place here.
