Title: looking for Dead of The Brain...
Post by: ElSeven on April 22, 2010, 03:58:30 PM
Been a long time fan of the system and trying to locate DotB, i know it gets pricey but i don't really care if the manual has wrinkles or the spine is missing.  There are some copies on eBay for like $300, and i just can't swing that.  Why I didn't pick this up when it came out... i'll always kick myself for that.

If anyone is open to trades, i might (thats a big MIGHT) be able to let go of my Sylphia, but I'd rather not :) I might have something else in my collection you might like, just PM me and we'll talk.

Do NOT trade Sylphia for DotB. That would be...crazy.

Agreed.

ElSeven, You need to sell Sylphia to me, instead.

Its not so much that Sylphia is a better game, but rather that it actually is a game at all, as opposed to a middle of the road digital comic like DotB.

If you collect games just because they are rare you are going to end up with a whole lot of garbage. Are the top 5 rarest PC Engine games even what would be called "playable"? Conversely, the top 5 best PC Engine games are probably less than $20 each.

Yeah i realize that a lot of those pricey games are dumb, im not exactly looking to buy Go Go Birdie or anything lol.

I'm at the point where I have a pretty big collection and the games i play the most are the games that are relatively cheep ( r-type, prince of persia, space harrier, gradius 2).  There are a few pricey games still on my want list such as DotB, Tonma, Gekisha Boy and dynastic hero.

And speaking of DotB, i've read abotu the english/french translation that has been int he works for years, is that still going to surface eventually?  If only that snatcher project wasn't dropped...

I don't know much about PCE games or their values but I did find an auction for this game.  Hope this helps

I would much rather have Go! Go! Birdie Chance than DotB.

I'm still looking for Sylphia SCD for a long time...................it'll be my last PC Engine game I need to get :<

For past five years I've obtained two new copies of DOTB 1 & 2 via eBay.  I sold one copy and still have another one in hand.  I will not say it's a good game but it's something to let me know the ending of PC Engine era :)
