1. Don't sign up if you can't or won't follow through. 2. Signups are open now until the first(ish) of November, at which time everyone'll be matched up and wish lists will be sent out to their respective Santa. 3. To make life easier for me, please fill in the form below when sending me your info. Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted. 4. Value of your gift(s) should be in the $30-40 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3 L@@K bin pricing. 5. Gifts should be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but don't mail it too early either. If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know as early as possible so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with nothing but tears and empty dreams under their festivus pole. 6. This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through; you f*ck this up and I'll ban your ass. 7. The most important rule is to have fun!
For extra holiday cheer, one random Santa will be selected to receive 'coal in their stocking and another will get a copy of the Turbo Legacy Poster. If you don't want (or already have) either of these goodies, please note accordingly on the form below.
Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.
Sign up sheet format for when you PM me your list -
Forum Alias: Shipping Name/Address: Condition (i.e. - complete, boxed, mint, loose, etc.): Wish List: Entered in the poster drawing? (yes/no): Entered in the Magicoal drawing? (yes/no):

This space reserved for the list of participants. Please send me a PM if your name isn't listed and it should be.
By the way, I don't need your wish list when you sign up. That can wait until the end of the month, so y'all got plenty of time to think it over.

That's a good question. Many of my favorites (i.e. - Legend of Xanadu I and II, Gotzendiener, Hatris, Magicoal, and Ys IV) can easily be had for under $30, but many others have been priced outta the running.
Should we up it to $30-40?

Post by: Gypsy on October 04, 2016, 10:16:51 AM
I usually go over the minimum in these things as they are typically low, but $40 is probably about where I'd top out at (so I would be okay with $30-40 range).

Yes, I loved Kaufman's conceits/concepts. :)
Sometimes execution was painful, but conceptually fantastic.
ANYWAY, for seriously, no jokingly, SRSLY ADVRBLY:
SANTOGOLD is f*cking awesome.
He is an infomercial scammer, who created an entire mythos around himself and his products.
I absolutely love all the crazy stuff he did (singing songs about himself and SANTOGOLD, creating an impenetrable wrestling film to cross-promote SANTOGOLD, etc.)
Plus, the infomercials aired in the tri-state area and I have a soft spot for local pop culture from my youth. I thought he was from NJ or PA, but I guess he's actually from MD. I accept him as an honorary CITIZEN O' NJ, nonetheless.

I also don't have Power Golf, and I've heard its a fun game from majors. He is apparently the world champion in power golf. He should start a high score thread. For Power Golf.
Power Golf.
I've heard that there is a Turbo Grafx game called Takin' it to the Hoop that can be had for 15 moneys. And I think you can also get Zero Champ 2 which is pretty cool, I just got that game for $8 and it was like GT2 for the PCE. Also Energy is sweet and I don't have that one. Dang.
Power Golf.

Hitjapan? I feel for your wallet. Shipping should automatically combine though, even when making offers and having them accepted. Been awhile since I've ordered multiple imports from one seller on Ebay though.
The order I placed was marked as shipped on the 6th, but no tracking. Figured this would happen since I ordered off Amazon marketplace, but I was able to get two games for the price just one of them would have been on Ebay. Should be complete too, since they are disc based.

In my search for my SS stuff I found ebay to be the exact same or even cheaper than places like suruga-ya, yahoo japan auctions, or even amazon. When you figure in the double shipping costs and fees it was actually even more expensive since the prices were the same as ebay.

Post by: Gredler on November 17, 2016, 03:14:45 AM
The package from Japan arrived to my house but I was not home to sign for it, so now it's chillin at the local post office.
I will have it in hand by Saturday at the latest. Which is exciting because I get to wrap the presents and add some extras without being rushed and pressured.
Should I put it in the mail on Monday, or wait until closer to Christmas?
Can't believe how quickly it got here, I am going to have to leave good feedback. I panicked about hit-japan and eBay, but considering how much I got I think I got a good deal, and it arrived pretty fast considering I did the cheapest shipping option.
Hohoho, Merry Christmas :)

Super Star Soldier should not be a secret santa game anymore since it is well over budget and I'm talking on pc-engine.
There's several completed ebay auctions for under $40, so SSS is definitely doable, especially for peeps that are okay with huey only or if Santa shops on yahoo auction, surugaya, etc.

I had it sent quite awhile ago (person hopefully received by now) but I feel bad about it now because I should have had the games ship to myself first so I could wrap them in festive wrappings like I did with the other secret santas I signed up for.

Would have been out last week, but the ebay guy decided not to ship the game and try to take my money.

I have everything. Packed up. Said that a few days ago. Just haven't gone to mail it.
Plus I am residing on what extras to add that were not on the list. What fun is it to just give stuff on the list kny? I say throw a little of your personal flavor and see if the other person likes it. Worst case it gets re-gifted. Lol.

Budget has always been around $35 i thought and I always like to do more than just 1 game. I usually go over but not by much. That also doesn't include shipping. I just like to hope I keep it fair but get people what they want.

IT WAS YOU! If it was you, I got it the same day I got a bunch of parts I had ordered in. It was a nice surprise because I was like WTF!? When did I order this?... then I realized it must have been jolly old secretive St. Nick. It immediately became an unsealed game and a VGA grader perished because I did this. The screams of enemy soldiers will fill my holiday.

My gift went out this morning, USPS said it should arrive by Thursday so plenty of time before Xmas. I won't be broken hearted if my recipient wants to open early, but I'm personally going to take mine with me (if it arrives on time) to Tennessee and open it Xmas morning. No judgement either way!

Heh, Santa's getting sneaky.
He had me worried for a bit, thinking I'd f*cked up and paired up peeps again so soon (I try to make sure there's no repeats within two years) or that I'd sent out some wrong lists. The former wouldn't be that big of a deal, but the latter would really suck if someone got two presents while someone else got the shaft.

I noticed that the sign up sheet (see below) didn't include a spot for last year's recipient so I just figured that Desh ended up with a duplicate recipient.
Sign up sheet format for when you PM me your list -
Forum Alias: Shipping Name/Address: Condition (i.e. - complete, boxed, mint, loose, etc.): Wish List: Entered in the poster drawing? (yes/no): Entered in the Magicoal drawing? (yes/no):

Seeing as it's already been 5 weeks since the ship date, I bet it will show up any day now. And I'll just mirror what everyone else is saying, don't sweat it being a little late. We have our best friends coming over the weekend after Xmas for NYE, and we'll be exchanging presents then. I'm sure you might have a similar situation - who's not gonna love having one more present on the way after Xmas is over?

Package revived. I like that my SS wrapped each gift. I don't. lol everything is simply packed into the box shipped.
My wife looked at the items and said "that one looks like a N64 game based on the shape". It surprised me she picked it out considering she wasn't into the N64 as her brother owned a PS1 back when these systems where new.
Of the gifts I have opened the N64 game. I think I'll wait to open the other gifts. Spread it out.
Have a bad day or something. And need a pick me up. Will open one of the gifts.

That is so bizarre. I bought a copy of 3X3 eye that has the VHS as well. It seems the other game has a VHS as well but I can't tell which game it is.
That's Graduation 2: Neo Generation FX for the PC-FX. About a third of the PC-FX's library came in those big plastic clamshells, with the remainder in standard jewelcases (single, thick, or double).
Galaga is great fun and all, but it ain't a $30-40 game. :-k
I didn't want to be a Grinch, but I didn't think so either. Giving is more fun than receiving anyways, and I am glad JT enjoyed his, and Galaga will be a lot of fun :)

Anyways, I want to say a huge thanks to my SS this year! Thank you so very much! Pics will be posted tonight when I get home from work.

I'm going to assume that by "wife", you mean "mom."

I actually opened my SS package on Xmas morning, but since we're visiting family down in TN I haven't got a chance to post yet. Sorry for the delay, SS! I am the very happy recipient of a Gomola Speed and Avenue Pad 6 so I can finally play SF2 properly! I'm also gonna have to investigate getting a few more fighting games to use with it. And I actually really wanted Gomola Speed, but didn't explicitly ask for it, so that's a great surprise too. Here are some pictures of the festive turbob wrapping paper and goodies inside:
Sure it was, and I'm sure you specifically calling out Saru was as well. :roll:
Uh yeah.. we all know saru is a kleptomaniac! Saru is my buddy and that was a joke too but I deleted it after realizing I would possibly be exposing a SS here

To be clear, I did have deep blue on my wishlist because not many US games are cheap these days. I am very thankful for the gift, and have already played it till my eyes hurt on my express.
Glad to see everybody got some awesome stuff this SS!

I don't think its as bad as people say it is, its just hard to compete when you have so many good shooters on the Turbografx-16!

It was fun opening up Moon Patrol. The label is so shiny and crisp (unlike the rest of my games), and 'twas neat looking at the manual and promo folder thing.

This is possible. The only game I have purchased for Jag that I fully enjoyed is Wolfenstein and lets be honest, I could just play the PC version. One I really want to try is Raiden as it is the supposed best port and I love how that game spanks me.

I have played the Raiden port on Jaguar and although it is certainly one of the more competent games for the console, it is not as awesome as TG-16/PCE HuCARD or Super Raiden SCD versions. I know you think I am biased here, so I know you will have to play it for yourself and urge for yourself.
Now, if anyone posts about the PlayStation release, I give you permission to bludgeon them with a Jaguar control pad. :)

I have Raiden for Jag and always thought it was a great version of the game. I especially liked how the game was oriented the correct (if memory serves) direction as opposed to the snes/turbo ports. It has its oddities (missing set pieces for example) but it still played the way I recalled the game playing in the arcade.
PS: Finally heading home from Christmas with my extended family. I'm looking forward to seeing what TurboSanta 16 brought me... Pics will be forthcoming

The ps1 raiden is the best version I've played outside of the arcade. I loved the DOS version I grew up with, but I wonder how it holds up...

Thanks for such delicious breakfast.
That Jedi Knight II brought back good memories. Used to play it at a buddy's house but never owned it before. It is up and running on my Win2k rig.
Thanks Secret Santa !!!

Sherlocking the SS game status:
Clearly unsure. -5 Turbo Karma.
Of the following participants, I have guessed that these are NOT my Santa. The rest are still under consideration. (Note crossed out entrants have been ruled out!) Everyone is guilty until proven Team Innocent!

I got some awesome goodies from what I assume was our dear caw. Super excited to get Battle Lode Runner, maybe with some practice I will finally be able to beat Dan and/or BlueBMW!
Yup! That was me! Glad they arrived and are in good shape!! Enjoy!! :D :D
Also, thanks for the Coal!! It arrived and I never got back to following up with everyone, and thanks Necro! Pics will be posted later today... Still trying to figure out who sent me that Anthrax tape...
And Jash, This post should disqualify me from being your Santa.

No but seriously, thanks to whomever sent me the copy of Sidearms, and the loosie Vigilante and TV Sports Foobball, and the copy of "Among The Living"!
I'll post photos later, and I have no idea who you are, still.

I've played it on the everdrive a bit, and it's super difficult- I felt like I was missing something. Galaga 88 is super challenging to me too. I was going to post some progress pics of my score, but I was le embarrassed by my puny skill :P
