So, I went to my local retro video game store yesterday, and while browsing, I came across some Turbo stuff.
Since I'm not really up to speed on prices for Turbo CD stuff, I figured that I'd ask about the prices that these games are for sale.
I can't seem to figure out how to directly post the picture here, but here's a link.
https://www.box.com/s/7857f46b1599844ffcce
From top to bottom, left to right, the games are as follows with any comments.
1. $49.99 - Wanderers from Ys Book 1 & 2 - U.S.-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case
2. $19.99 - Aya - Japan-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case
3. $14.99 - Brandish - Japan-released-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case
4. $14.99 - Street Fighter II - Japan-released HuCard game complete with instruction manual and case
5. $ 5.99 - Davis Cup Tennis - Japan-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case
6. $ 5.99 - J-League Tremendous Soccer '94 - Japan-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case
7. $ 6.99 - Super CD Rom Demo CD - Japan-released demo Turbo CD - demos of Tengai Makyou II, Manji Maru, and Dragon Slayer: Legend of Heroes
8. $ 9.99 - Record of Lodoss War - Japan-released Turbo CD game with case but missing instruction manual
9. $19.99 - Dragon Slayer - U.S. released Turbo CD game with case but missing instruction manual
I don't currently have any of the above games other than a HuCard-only copy of Street Fighter and I do already have a complete copy of Dragon Slayer (with map!), so which, if any of the above games should I plan to get at the listed prices, or maybe someone can give me a list of recommended prices for the above?
Thanks.

A little steep on some of those games Ys books 1 and 2 you should be able to get it for $20ish instead of the full retail price.
Its cool that you even have a store that has some turbo stuff, I have to drive 4 hours to the nearest retro store that carries maybe a few hucards.
-
It's always cool to find stuff in the wild, even if a couple of 'em are kinda overpriced (not horribly though).
P.S. - Brandish and Record of Lodoss War were not released in the US.

My bad, I was going from my memory when I opened the cases and looked at the games.
-
Ys is a bit high and I don't know about Laya, but all of the others seems pretty average. Brandish and SF2 would probably cost that much online if you included shipping.
-
honestly, i'm not sure on all of those, Ys seems high, as does SFII (got mine complete for $6 shipped)
most of the others though, i'm not sure.
at any rate though, local turbob, yay!
-
That's highway robbery for Y's I and I.
-
I think you can find all of those games cheaper elsewhere, but remember: they are in a store (locally-owned?), available for inspection, ready to take home and play immediately--worth a premium to some.
Thought I'd also point out that all the games in your photo appear to be Japanese except for Ys. If Dragon Slayer was the US version at $20, I'd say that's a pretty good price.
-
Yup, no doubt about it, that's the PC Engine Dragon Slayer. Not a bad price for it though.
-
The Davis Cup Tennis is also PCE version. Funny, it was released as a hucard here in the states but looks like the PCE version is SCD?
-
A local store has Shockman with book & case for 29 is that a good price?
-
seems good to me, i paid $35 or something for mine.
that said, i'm assuming you mean box and manual, as the game never had an actual case.
-
Bit jalous here as there is absolutely no store with TG16 games around here :(

Yep, this particular store has a couple of loosie U.S. HuCards and some controllers/Turbo Taps as well for okay prices, and there are 2 other retro game stores within 25 miles of me that also sell a little bit of Turbo stuff.
-
I'm a sucker for TurboGrafx stuff that if I were there, I'd probably buy it all never mind the price. Then again, I'm severely lacking in 'games' department and need to find a huge lot of games to get me going in the right direction.
-
My local is not a place to buy from unfortunately.
Pac-Land
Falcon
Davis Cup Tennis
TV Sports Football
Final Lap
$30 each in unboxed barely acceptable condition. Boo-urns :x

Well,
I couldn't restrain myself any longer. I've heard so many good things about Ys Book I & II.
I went to this store today and picked up a couple of the Turbo games that they had.
$39.99 - Wanderers from Ys Book 1 & 2 - U.S.-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case (I talked the manager down from $49.99 for this one.)
$14.99 - Street Fighter II - Japan-released HuCard game complete with instruction manual and case
$ 2.99 - Davis Cup Tennis - Japan-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case (They gave me a $3 off discount on this one because I bought the other ones, so I went ahead and got this.)
This store has picked up another game - Super Grafx - Aldynes for $29.99 complete even with outer paperboard case (which seems to be a decent price for it, but since I don't have a Super Grafx yet, I restrained myself)
-
Seems like a pretty fair deal in all, from what I gathered here and looking at a lot of games for sale, That's about what they go for, but there are def. a lot of games out there trying to be sold at double those prices too. and a $3 complete in case is never bad!
Just started YS myself, seems like it's going to be pretty good.
-
Davis Cup in NA was HuCard. The CD was Japan-only (as far as I know).
So....do you have a NA HuCard instruction manual paired with a Japanese CD?
I have the HuCard and I actually played it and enjoyed it back in the day. And I liked very few sports games. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

You are correct. It was the Japan-released CD version. I'll have to give it a try.

I enjoyed "career mode" despite the heavy time commitment (like real tennis, the matches can go on and on, especially if someone makes a comeback). The Sound Effects are top-notch, no joke and solid controls.

Ys 1&2 is my favorite RPG of all time. You should enjoy it.
-
That's a pretty good price for Aldynes. That one is kind of difficult to find for a decent price especially with the cardboard sleeve.
