Title: Is this a good deal??

Thinking of buying this before a reseller comes along. What do you think??

None of those games is rare or expensive, but it works out to $13.36 per game shipped, and you won't find many deals better than that. Of course, if you just want the games and don't care about the boxes, then you're better off waiting for a used lot.

Seemingly a great deal for sealed- indeed resellers will milk more money out of it- but some of the titles aren't that great- Super Volleyball and Drop Off for example- and there's nothing rare or expensive in there- but there's some greats for sure- Blazing Lazers, Final Lap Twin, Galaga '90- all gold. Personally I've never seen an auction or BIN that had that many sealed TG games in one lot...

Post by: atr3yu on July 18, 2008, 12:03:14 PM: That is what I would do as I am a new owner of a PC Engine and don't have any of these :)

Post by: geise on July 18, 2008, 01:34:48 PM: Save your money! Especially if you haven't tried those games out. Those aren't really worth having sealed. So that is just inflating the price. If you really really are into collecting/playing and are not going to sell them any time soon then it might be an ok purchase. You can find those game. Also you said you have a PC-Engine. Those are US games. Do you have a regular TG-16 to play those on?

Post by: atr3yu on July 18, 2008, 01:40:16 PM: Nope but I have done the region modification to both of my DUO's. And I will not sell them I love to collect games and ihave played them all as I own a NEO flash cart I just like to have the physical things. Nothing leaves my collection till I have a better copy.

Post by: Turbo D on July 18, 2008, 02:31:33 PM: I think its a good deal, especially when you look at it as Necromancer did.
Title: Re: Is this a good deal??
Post by: geise on July 18, 2008, 02:45:05 PM: Yeah in that case go for it! Sounds like you really want them. To me they aren't the best of games. Some of them I like and own, but other's I have passed on them many of times. All brand spanking new as well. I just buy and collect what I really want to play and will continue to play for years to come. Those games are in good condition as well. Yeah they're new, but I've seen new shrink wrapped games with the boxes being damaged. Like Necro and Turbo D said that's not too bad a price. Especially if you were going to buy them in that condition separately.
