Title: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?
Post by: ifkz on June 12, 2014, 03:26:22 PM
Since joining the forum and making good progress on my US TurboDuo project, I expanded my collection a bit with some local, PCEFX forum, and auction purchases. All of this happened in a month. This was my first PCEFX forum purchase, likely my last local purchase, that is fitting.
I asked a senior member of the forums and I decided to create this thread for other members to update with their own finds for whatever current month it is when they make a post. Good idea?
I figure a post of mine with a picture/explanation/text will kick things off. I like the idea of pictures instead of a games found text list; at least pictures are more interesting. I think listing prices would be in bad taste, and keeping them out of the thread would prevent it from becoming a brag thread. I am aiming more for of fun/cool/inspirational vibe.
For the month of May-June: (http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i430/ifkz/tg16_june_zps512bef3e.jpg) (http://s1093.photobucket.com/user/ifkz/media/tg16_june_zps512bef3e.jpg.html)
Personal notes: Wow, this is the largest amount of games I have ever purchased at one time! The month before this, I only found Vigilante. The copy of Shape Shifter wraps up my long search nicely. This is my very first ICOM game. Finding Loom was also a stroke of luck, it does not appear very often at all (in my opinion). The sports games are fun: Davis Cup Tennis kept slipping through at auction, and Takin it to the Hoop will replace my loose copy. Of extra special note is Shockman. Not only is it my favorite of the pictured, but it joins my very small game box collection. Now, officially, I need two hands to count them all! I also love the anime cover art! I may try to remove the sharpie with rubbing alcohol, then again...maybe not. It is very worn but I am, equally, very happy with it and my finds for the month! This is a lot of great gaming 8)

I finally got a good deal on Vasteel. There are not many "cheap" games left on my list though.

This month I went a tad overboard 'money-wise', but I did get a deal on everything I bought:
- CIB World Sport's Competition - CIJ Klax - Shockman w/ game and manual - CIJ Parodius Da! - CIJ Parasol Stars - CIJ Takin' It To the Hoop
and that's all she wrote

There is actually not much more that I am looking to get TG-16, but I did get this: (Thanks to Bklyn4ever.) (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3912/14356592699_85125d9fa9_b.jpg)
This box brings my CIB TG-16 library to near-complete! (I should post up some pics...)
The only boxes remaining are: Lords of the Rising Sun - a forum member here has this for me, so I'll have this before too long. :) Magical Chase :roll:

Do you like the game? It seems like a unique game for the system and one that I have been on-and-off searching for since I watched TurboViews' youtube review.
Congrats on the find!

I actually haven't taken the time to play it yet. :oops:
In recent days, honing my Tatsujin skills for VGS has taken all of my game time. I'll have to get to this before too long. I already had a CIC copy with no box, so this recent acquisition leaves me with an extra CIC copy. If anyone is interested, it's in my trade/sell thread in my signature.

How many "buy stuff" threads do we have now? There's: "teh "what did you buy today"-thread " "What PC-Engine Stuff did you get today?" "Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?" "Upcoming games u plan on buying and why?" "Not sure on what to buy next" "What did I buy?" "Your recent purchases and impressions"
I look forward to further segmenting and bumping our purchases to the top of each and every subforum. Quick: What PCE Homebrew did you buy today? What LD-ROM's did you buy today? What VC Games did you buy today?

I agree that all of them together may be a bit much, but the "teh "what did you buy today"-thread " doesn't seem to scratch the itch of seeing Turbo-only related items together, and since the TG-16 and PC Engine have separate boards, it seems that 3 threads would be about right. Of course, 2 threads could be fine if titled correctly - something like "What Obey Have You Recently Acquired?" and "What Nobey Have You Recently Acquired?"

One thread is enough, the problem is sheep like you have nothing else to talk about.
vestcoat, You didn't respond to my explanation above about the "teh "what did you buy today"-thread " often being clogged up with non-Turbo-related purchases. I (and many others, I presume) could care less about almost all non-Turbo-related purchases and would appreciate having a single Turbo-related purchases thread. Because this forum separates the TurboGrafx-16 from the PC Engine (a possible mistake in my opinion), having a single thread in each board would seem to make sense. The alternative would be to only have 2 threads - Obey and Nobey, both in the Chit-Chat Board.
The problem with that is that the Chit-Chat Board is in the Non-NEC Console Related Discussion section of this forum... :roll: And the "teh "what did you buy today"-thread " is actually in the Console Chat Board in the Non-NEC Console Related Discussion section of this forum, and the Console Chat Board specifically states, "Talk about any non-NEC related consoles here." This means that the "teh "what did you buy today"-thread " should technically be only for non-Turbo-related purchases. :-"
Therefore, because there is no single board logically positioned for a single Turbo-related purchases thread, it would seem that having a TurboGrafx-16-related purchases thread in the TG-16 board, and having a PC Engine-related purchases thread in the PC Engine board would make the most sense.

Complaining about people's purchases that don't interest you is petty and rather silly (and begs the question of why you'd give a shit about anything anyone else is buying), and even more crazy is basing an argument on forum divisions that are regularly disregarded anyway. Where does it end? At a bare minimum there should be four separate threads, but why stop there? We could have literally hundreds (one for each system, by region), just to make sure nobody is forced to dirty their eyes by seeing a 'boring' purchase.
Or we could use the thread that worked for years before the current crop of me too collectors came along and worried that they'd not get enough time in the spotlight.

Since we don't have any moderation to create new sections or anything, why doesn't someone create a separate forum as a spiritual extension to this one, and fill it with all the market talk that (now) most people love to carry on multiple overlapping threads for? Then this forum would be for Turbo/PCE/PC-FX and general video game discussion and the extended forum wouldn't have all the market talk diluted by cranky game enthusiasts. It would also save the 30 new market enthusiast members each month from having to wait so long for approval (to begin shopping). Everyone wins.

If you'll reread my comments, you'll see that I was not complaining about "people's purchases that don't interest me". Rather, I was pointing out the fact that some people (myself included) enjoy seeing Turbo-related purchases which people have made recently. Seeing such may elicit various responses, such as: congratulations to someone who has finally found something he has been looking for, razzing someone who has purchased a 'dog of a game', thoughts of, "I didn't know about that game. Maybe I should look into getting that game as well.", etc... Whatever the response, it is rather obvious from current "What have you bought?"-style threads that there is a segment of the forum which enjoys such.
This being said, having Turbo-related purchases separate from non-Turbo-related purchases allows the forum reader to choose more carefully what he would like to read/view. The fact that forum divisions are often disregarded is no excuse to promote/defend such behavior. I heard that thousands of people are jumping off of bridges... :-" :-" :-" :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
That said, the first TurboGrafx-16 magazines which I have ever owned arrived in the mail today!
I want! I did have multiple copies of almost all mags to scan for DoxPhile, and now that I've sold off most of them i come across monies. Life is no fair... but at least there is obey.
So, have you already scanned all 7 of these?
Now I want to try to figure out a good way to get the address labels off of the 2 magazines without damaging the magazines like someone already did to one of them.
Also, I'm not really sure what the going rate is for magazines like these is. I paid $93 shipped for all 7.

Last I checked, that's exactly what's been going on in the main recent purchase thread.

I'm about as single minded as they come around here, giving zero f*cks for nobey, yet even I can handle skimming over that which doesn't interest me. Again, this worked fine for years. It's only the recent insta-collectors that have a problem.

So when you said the recent purchase thread is 'clogged up with non-Turbo-related purchases' you weren't complaining? :roll:
Not at all. Rather, I was responding to vestcoat's somewhat unfocused statement. What I had originally stated was, "...the "teh "what did you buy today"-thread " doesn't seem to scratch the itch of seeing Turbo-only related items together...".

That is correct. Again, my thought is that seeing only Turbo-related purchases in a thread is what a segment of the forum population would like to see.
Whatever the response, it is rather obvious from current "What have you bought?"-style threads that there is a segment of the forum which enjoys such.
Yep. Johnny come lately wants maximum exposure and fears getting lost among other's buys.
I don't know what others' motivations for posting up pictures of their recent purchases are, but I and others do enjoy viewing others' Turbo purchases for reasons stated above.

For those viewing the forum on a smartphone, small tablet, etc..., the ability to view only the pictures in which one is interested would be useful, and just because you don't mind skimming over that which doesn't interest you doesn't mean that others don't want to bother with it. Also, since the "What PC-Engine Stuff did you get today?" thread (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=14453.0) was started over a year ago, and is now up to 29 pages, it shows that there is a willingness of the forum to use threads appropriately.
Also, the statement, "this worked fine for years" could be used for many things - cassette tapes, Commodore 64's, Model T cars, outhouses... :lol:

Although I'm not into "haul" media, I get why people here would like to have a thread for "OBEY" acquirements, separate from regular gaming ones. What I don't understand is the need to dedicate threads to sub-sections of PCE/Obey/Turbob, beyonv thd existing PCE thread(s).
Especially something as small as the Turbo stuff, which most people (even the collectards who shun Japanese stuff) love to hate on for being so ugly. It would make more sense to have independant threads for HuCards and CDs or even CD2 and SCDs before strictly Turbo.

After having learned much about the PC Engine, I agree with you. The separate forum divisions for PC Engine and TurboGrafx-16 do seem somewhat redundant. They are the same system with the same games (albeit, neither incarnation of the system had all of the games published for its region), so lumping them together just seems right... But..., for anyone who has only ever experienced the TurboGrafx-16, I can see how the separation of the two would be mildly useful up until the time that such person learned enough about the system to link them together in his mind. That said, if it were up to me, with what I know now, I would put them together,

It has been just a few days short of a month since the last update, here are my purchases! (http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i430/ifkz/IMAG0400_zps98573f69.jpg) (http://s1093.photobucket.com/user/ifkz/media/IMAG0400_zps98573f69.jpg.html)
Soldier Blade's purchase wraps up my several years long search for a copy. It was not a hard release to locate, it is just that demand for the title is very strong. I was always outbid at auction. This copy came up at a great BIN price and I went for it! The game really is worth the solid/wonderful reputation it has gained over the years, I can get to the 5th stage before it starts to get brutally hard. The manual is a near perfect reproduction of an original, the texture and faded colors give it away as a color laserjet. I was so pleased with the reproduction I asked the seller if he made any more! Oddly enough, it is looking more and more like I may be paying more for Super Star Soldier than Soldier Blade if current price trends hold. That seems a little insane given SB's release date and better reputation.
Bravoman - I have been a fan of Namco's other early efforts on the TG-16 and this is no different. I wish they would have tried out Rolling Thunder on the platform, that would have been neat. This game is solid and enjoyable, I find myself coming back to it a lot.
Dropoff - Err, I have not gotten the hang of this yet, and I almost wish it had a hidden version of Breakout included. The digital control is twitchy.
TE power adapter - Since I started collecting, I noticed these almost never come on the market loose, most are tied to system packages for sale. It cost about as much as a new 3rd party option, but I value it being on OEM part. It got me motivated to finally fix the broken power jack in my TE. Thank's PCEFX member Keith Courage, again, for the correct replacement part link!
Dragon's Curse - I had always been curious about the link to the SMS favorite Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap. One of the top games for the SMS is just as fun on the TG-16. I have so far made it to Hawk-Man and look forward to finishing the game soon. I am especially grateful that this uses the Duo's backup RAM save feature. No passwords to cell phone snap!
Space Harrier - another favorite of mine from the SMS. I hold the SMS version in high regard, but I also say that the TG16 port was the most arcade accurate way to play until the 32X and more known Saturn ports came out. Like Fantasy Zone's port, it makes me wonder how different things might have been with a Christmass 1988 USA launch instead of the TG-16 going toe-to-toe with the Genesis/SNES. Fun game, of course.
Somer Assault - this was one of my wish list games, I never thought I would find one for an affordable price. Thank you Beemer! The game is a hybrid shooter/puzzler and I like it a lot. It is very different than most any other game I have played. I got a few bosses into the game and it started to bend my brain a bit. What a game!
Night Creatures - it's a lot like Kung-Fu but with a bit of a plot. So far, the animal forms seem to play worse than the human form. The game is brutally difficult. I'll keep at it.
Hit the Ice - The simple control scheme helps the game shine. Clearly the best hockey game on the TG-16; thank you Taito for your support. I usually dislike sports games, but this one plays very well and has held up. It is worth a pickup in addition to the NHL series on the other 16-bit consoles.
World Sports Competition - my first game from the 1993 set! It plays like Konami's arcade Track & Field/Hyper Sports. Not bad TTI. Bomberman '93 may well be the only other 1993 release I get to own...still looking for that one.
Order of the Griffon - Wow, not only an official D&D game, but it is very easy to pickup and play too. The game's 1st person perspective is quick and easy to navigate. The battles remind me of an obscure Genesis RPG called Sorcerer's Kingdom. The game artwork on the card/manual is incredible.
King of Casino - I suck at all Casino games: they teach me to avoid real gambling because I always lose. This one has an over world screen and multiple Casinos to try. I don't hate it as much as most of the type.
Balistix - the sampled voice clip that plays before EACH match...starts to wear me down. I can either win each round or loose each round in a few seconds. I need a live buddy and DuoTap to enjoy this one, I think.
Motoroader - I thought this would be a complete dud of a game after watching YouTube videos of the gameplay. I was very, very wrong. I played it for four hours last night, the same day I got it in the mail. Very much like a prototype for the Micro Machines games but with it's own style and rules. I like it, a lot. This gets my vote for the best driving game on the system, in the US library anyhow.
That wraps up this past month. My research suggests I only have 9 to 10 titles before I run into the expensive wish-list type releases. Anyone have a favorite import shop for the CD-ROM releases from Japan? I welcome anyone that is willing to point me in the right direction.

[ul][li]Pac-Land I forget what this game is even about. I hear it is a fairly faithful arcade port, which speaks volumes about how shitty the arcade game must have been. The graphics are very simplistic and colorfully cartoony, which isn't a criticism as that is what they were going for. The sound isn't too bad, but not all that great. My biggest complaint is that the game just bores me to tears. I give it 1 f*ck out of 5. [/li][/ul]

I don't care about the game myself, I just think it's a great accomplishment though that a fan team (Ark/Oldman) was able to create a working HuCard homebrew game in 2014!

Just picked up this bad boy at CCAG.
Thanks to everyone who came to see us and spend time talking turbo and/or 3-d printing :) Like Arkhan said, cards go to the protocard buyers first - without them, there would be no abcards. Now that we know roughly what percentage to make pce and tgx, we can get started on a general release. Until then, we hope to see what people think of them :)

heh... sounds like "I just won 50 million dollars and f*cked every model in the SI Swimsuit Issue... and also found a penny I'm the parking lot at hyvee.
I want an atlantean.
dammit.
Dude it is cool. The fact that new games are being released for not only NEC hardware but, all old consoles in general is so sweet. This could have been the worst game ever created and I still would have bought it, just for the admiration I have for the people putting the blood, sweat and tears into stuff like this.
As it turns out, this game is also very good. The controls are great the music is great. It's like a 16 bit era shooter mated with an older game like Missile Command. It is thoroughly kicking my ass so I'll have more news to report when I get through it a bit more. Also, the fact that it saves the high scores if you have ram backup on your hardware setup is a nice touch.

Picked up a loose Dungeon Explorer from Arkhan at the CCAG and also nabbed a complete (with spine card) copy of Emerald Dragon from another vendor.
Also got to appreciate all the great changes in Atlantean from 2 years ago when it didn't actually have hit detection or AI or anything. Also, game is damn hard (and I suck at Defender, so of course I think it's damn hard).

That's noble enough. There's no offense meant here, it just looks like a game I would not care to play. I'm not gonna act like a blind fan boy as apparently Tommy/Nintega thinks that I should. What would get my interest would be something like say a SSS/Raiden-type shooter and what not. And I'd wanna see purty graphics too, maxed out capabilities of the system! ;)

Yeah, that's the thing, I've been trying to get him to stand by his stated intentions of leaving, but he reneged (to nobody's surprise); seems we'll be stuck with the manic loon for the foreseeable future, and if he really is Nintega, well, we've been stuck with his psycho love/hate obsession with PCEFX for YEARS!

Awesome work! I didn't get a chance to meet you but I talked with Arkhan for a minute. I had no idea you guys were in Ohio, that's awesome. I'm in Toledo and Turbo stuff is non-existant around here. I only ever see it when I go to the east side of the state.

Makes me think of the "toy hunter" Star wars forum feasco.
For those not aware toy hunter is a show where a semi anoying guy buys up vintage toys as a reseller and flips them (soon I foresee a video game version as we even have a comic book versn of this show) pawn stars spin offs HO!!!..
Well this guy got a hold f two mint on card 12 pack original Starwars figures which he got graded and sold for a tidy profit.
Well between the grading and selling he asked a fan or friend to go n various forums that are fan run for collectors of Starwars stuff and get a pulse on pricing.
Well it ending in a tommy eque failover with ratings from a underage girl or so everyone thought who the host of toy hater was trying to help and or groom to become a toy reseller as a payed intern.
Well it turns out the girl wasn't a girl. But a long time star wars troll forum user who was a middle aged guy with possible mental health issues portraying himself as a young girl and spent years trolling the host f the show BEFORE he even got the show but was a simple reseller at conventions through the computer who pretended to be a girl and gained his trust.
So yeah. ..... Tommy feels liks a similar entity all together.

Yes I feel very fortunate that I was able to buy this from a game store that had two of these things sitting around and to NightWolve yes it's modded, looks amazing on my CRT. But there are a few glitches that occur when playing games and not sure what causes it. I will have to look into at some point.
I bought Prince of Persia and Shadow of the Beast years ago and played them on my PC so now I can play them properly. But, what I really would like is Dracula X (sorry don't know the proper name for it). The same game store has it, but asking almost $200 for it.

New games for July-August: (http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i430/ifkz/aug_zps5f2b2844.jpg) (http://s1093.photobucket.com/user/ifkz/media/aug_zps5f2b2844.jpg.html)
Initial impressions:
Mysterious Song - Wow, what a great game to start into the TG homebrew scene. The writing is witty, the music is great and it's a fun 16-bit RPG! I have been playing this one concurrently with Ys: I & II.
Chew-Man-Fu - a cute, well made puzzler, I have gotten ten levels in and I like what I've seen so far. The graphics are large, well animated, detailed and colorful.
Psychosis - I like the wacky shooter Naxat made here. I have heard (through Turbo Views) that the game is a little short, but it is punishing me harder than Deep Blue. It is surreal, but I think that was the point.
Pac-Land - It is often referenced by game developers as the key early platformer, pre-Mario. I thought I would hate it, but I do not now that I have gotten the chance to play it. It deserves more respect than it has gotten.
JJ & Jeff - What..what what...did Sega rip off Sonic's jump sound fx from this game??? It certainly seems like it. It's an enjoyable romp that reminds me of the first Wonderboy/Adventure Island. There is enough of the unedited original here to see what the devs were going for. An essential TG16 purchase!

I've not yet taken the plunge to purchase any of the homebrew stuff... I am planning on doing so, but I've spent quite a bit this week.
I picked up an Everdrive, CIB Bomberman and World Class Baseball, and Complete Space Harrier- King of Casino - Jack Nicklaus Golf.

Hail- oh I think you know what it is. It actually wasn't purchased this month. It was a freebie thrown in (or, rather, dropped in) with a magazine lot last year by some generous guy on ebay. I believe the seller name was AvidBathroomReader420. The subject came up in DoxPhile.COM CHAT and was good for some lulz so I included it here because rum.
That is very "Eww." Mister Nullllll. Should've sent it back to him in a very large box, because funny. :3

I was so happy when I found my Neutopia II after a long search, it is also loose. I hope someday members here will reproduce HuCard bottom cases and the front manual cover of these late cardboard released games. I think those products would make a lot of us really happy because there are so many loose copies, and often loosies are all that is available for a reasonable amount of money. Hey, on the bright side, we have reproduced sleeves to put them in, that's a great start :)

Picked this up for $40 CDN, plus $5 shipping from fellow Canadian
Fantasy Zone w/ manual, case (missing hu sleeve) Gate of Thunder loose Chew-Man-Fu w/ manual (missing case, hu sleeve) Boxyboy w/ manual (missing case, hu sleeve) Galaga '90 w/ poor condition manual (missing case, hu sleeve) Cyber-Core loose
* I have never bought games that showed up this filthy. And not sure what is causing the pages of Galaga '90 to stick together .. but might be looking for a nicer version of that manual. I always clean all games before putting them in my console. But these were nasty. Some people need to learn to wash their damn hands. Eww. At first I felt bad about only paying $40, but not now.
I usually only grab games when complete in jewel case .. but seemed like a good price since I wanted Gate of Thunder pretty bad .. and I can always pickup labels from (I think it's Sparky), and hit up The Cover Project for now.

Where did you get it? I haven´t seen it anything cheaper than $300 the last couple of months...
I sourced locally. I had an ad up for almost a year looking for tg16 games. Every once in a while I get a bite. I was just contacted out of the blue by a guy who had 9 or so games. One of them being BSG. Got really lucky. I never imagined I would find it locally. I live in a mid sized Canadian city. The chances were not good.

lol are you serious This is why I stopped buying turbo stuff. Dude you don't have to buy anything from them or any seller if it's too high. Sorry to break it to you but there's plenty of copies that are (still overpriced) way less than what you paid for these games.

I know you don't want to feel cheated which is why you are asking....
And you got cheated on your last batch. Big time....
On this offer. Sigh. Neutopia is pretty common BUT crazy fun Zedla esk game. I want to say I have seen it priced on these bordes for around $14-25? The sequel on the other hand around $150 non eBay I'd say....this based that my loose copy I got earlier this week was at the $80 dollar mark which even then was more then I wanted to pay........but it is a great companion game and fixes a few things from the first game..
Food for thought.....granted in the end it's up to you.

Found a seller who's willing to sell me complete in jewel case Neutopia, Neutopia II for $200, what do you guys think, good deal or bad?
Bad; with patience, you can do much better. There are several completed eBay auctions that ended at ~$45 and $100 (respectively), so he's asking for a 40% premium plus saving eBay's fees.

Years worth, yes. Don't forget that shipping will increase the overall costs a bit, but their prices have always been more than fair. I got a few Turbo items in the last few months from them, so Loom and Adams Family may not still be in stock (from page 1 of this thread). Be prepared for a bit of a wait in ordering, as I understand, a lot of other collectors found out and have been submitting a ton of orders.

Yeah, Loom certainly caught my eye, so many awesome games I could add to my collection, seems too good to be true, wish they had a stick count, and hope a$$hole resellers don't buy it all up and jack the price up, seems like a nesting ground for those vultures lol, that's why um sceptical, but thank you so much for showing me that site, quite a few games on there I was gonna cave in and buy from that guy I mentioned, but this site has most of them at like 20% the cost, now I just need to get a credit card before its too late lol.

There is also another site that has a good reputation on PCEFX, though I have never had luck with e-mail ordering. It is better to call them. I have never ordered from them, but their prices are fair. Not as good as CC&G, but fair. Also, check out their price pdf for an idea of what you should be paying otherwise.

I'm sadly limited to ebay almost exclusively....I've seen all of 4 turbo items in the wild in the past 5 years and two of the four were Keith Courage. :x
I'm just getting into Turbo collecting so I'm not super picky (held off due to the cost and lack of local availability for a while) and found an ok beginner/commons lot recently, almost all in case with instructions:
Battle Royale China Warrior Double Dungeons King of Casino Power Golf Yo Bro Keith Courage (chip only)
For 65$ shipped. I had Power Golf and Keith already so that was really only 5 games for 65$. May not be the best but I can live with 13$ per game as I just don't have many other options and am anxious to build my collection right now.
BTW I have ordered from the above mentioned Collector's Cards and Games before....very nice guy, slow as hell to get your stuff or even a response some times.

Don't know what obey is, but at least the five games I picked up are all really really good games, and that's what its all about right lol??
"Obey" is the movie where Rowdy Roddy Piper and the other guy fight for 5 minutes in an alley.
It's a great idea for a movie, worked well for a while, but for me, fell apart.

It definitely sucks spending so much cash, but at least I'm not an a$$hole reseller, I play because I love retro consoles, the games are much better than most crap being produced today and NEC consoles were grossly underrated back in the day, the games were beautiful, they were fun, I don't really regret it, where else will I find awesome NEC games I really want to enjoy without waiting who knows how long for an incredible deal??

Yes, I agree with estaban. You have to be patient.
You can get deals but you have be actively looking in more than one place, building relationships with collectors, and know what your budget is for each title. Stick to it!
Yeah, I’ve spent a lot on TG games, but I know that I’ve done my homework and it becomes pretty easy to determine if what you are seeing is worth it or not. Remember, the seller wants your money, so talk him down. He knows if he’s asking $200 for a game valued at $100, he’s not likely to get it….unless you buy it from him at $200. Then the message is clear. He can get $200. That may lead to prices going up if enough people shell out that same $200. That is bad for all of us.

Nah, I don't use eBay, I like finding the stuff, and private sellers, he just had five games I really really wanted to play, I didn't think $400 was too too much for Devils crush, Neutopia, Neutopia II, Dragons Curse and Monster Lair, I might have saved fifty bucks waiting a year and picking them up from people dumping there collection but to me I get to play awesome games now, and got it for cheaper than eBay lol. Also I play all my stuff on original hardware, software, controllers and all that, feels more genuine to me. I figured Neutopia II usually went for around $200 anyways, all I saw on eBay was a loose HuCard and it was $200 by itself for some reason lol. I'm sure listening and reading all your guys knowledge will make me a pro in no time though.

In a perfect world I would have started collecting 10-15 years ago and gotten most of these for like ten bucks, but its hard being somewhat new to a more rare and obscure system, especially nowadays with stupid f*cking prices everywhere, it definitely sucks paying more than what feels fair, I honestly don't know where else to go for it though, I'm sure most of you guys judging the shit out of me already accumulated decent collections awhile back so put yourself in the mindset of this day and age and attempting to get into this awesome system, what would you do, pay close to eBay prices every now and then with private sellers, or would you hold off until you find a $40 game you really want until you find it for $20, and end up with a smaller library of games even over a long period if time?

I'd gladly pay $200 for a Magical Chase, Super Air Zonk, Dynastic Hero, but I get what you mean, so many f*ckers stock up on all this shit to corner the market, Earthbound is a prime example, at least the majority of the NEC games feels like paying $40 or $50 is worth it, beats 99% of the shit coming out nowadays for $60 lol. I do plan on learning Japanese too, seems like they get the majority of great games that are Japan exclusive.

What I'm saying is you could have gotten a better deal ON eBay! You have to look at completed auctions to gauge the price, not those stupid BINs. Neutopia 2 has been selling between $50-100. Neutopia 1 $40, Devils Crush $40-60, Dragons Curse $40-60.

Yeah I know how that can feel....you just don't see TG-16 stuff all that much in the wild and when you do it is hard to keep a poker face....
Luckily the few times I do stumble on it the seller doesn't have a clue what he has. Oh but wave a NES or SNES game at them and they become experts.

Stumbled across this great TG-16 lot on local online classified. Paid $100 CDN, and about $20 in gas to go pick it up.
The box is pretty rough, styrofoam is intact, but no manuals or inserts. Console is clean (has all hookups), turbo tap, extension, turbo booster plus and extra turbo pad.
Pile of (14) games, all CIC. Only Devil's Crush with some minor yellowing on the huCard.
Just wiped it all down, will test everything this evening.
Fills a number of holes in my collection. Will have a title of two for a future Raffle on this site, and some to bring along to an upcoming Game Swap in hopes to find more Obey.

Ive' done Flea markets and garage sales, but you can't ever find anything there.
The Flea Markets near me are all retailers. They own retail stores, but put up a booth at Flea Markets on weekends. So they snap up anything anyone else has that is good. They charge their full blown retail price (only break paying cash, and saving taxes). So I don't even bother any more. I think they could be some rare finds at Yard/Garage Sales but you have to get up early on the weekend for that. My only two days for the family to sleep in. So we don't roll out of bed until 10ish, and the house until 11ish. So by that time would have missed anything good. But I've hit three major Obey-bundles on a local online classified in the last 6 months. A SGX / PC GT bundle with game, a Duo-R bundle with games and today this TG-16 bundle with games. Need to slow down as my retro gaming budget is dry now !

Back in 2004, I purchased a brand new Turbo Duo from a Toronto seller who stumbled upon a small warehouse full of them. However, I ended up selling the system back shortly thereafter as I wasn't feeling like committing to a console with such inflated aftermarket prices. Yet, here I am now and the prices are 10 times as bad as they were back then. A financial analyst, I am not. :wink:

People posting their pick ups and price asking if they bought at a good price feels very Nintendo Age IMO :wink:
What do you want me to do?
I get it I have not been collecting turbo stuff for over 20 years like a lot of you, but there is nothing I can do about that now, so asking if it's a good deal from people who know is helpful to me. I'm pretty damn frugal with my money, so spending a lot of money kills me.
I'm just trying to find good games and good deals so I can pop em in and enjoy.
Believe me, in the past month I've been going all around the city looking for TG16 stuff, from Flea markets, Thrift Stores, and Garbage sales. I check Ebay and see what the price that are non BiN go for, so I do my homework when buying stuff before I shell out money.

Don't waste everyone's time, including your own. It's obvious that you've already made up your mind that it was a fair deal, so why ask our opinion and then argue when someone says it's not?

Agreeing with Necro here. I have as a less experienced collector posted in discussion sub-threads to ask what the perceived value of an item or bundle was. As that was at the point where I was contemplating buying it but really questioned what was a fair price, versus the more typical eBay/reseller gouger price. I've used feedback from the more experienced Obeyers to either negotiate harder, walk away, or pickup the given item. But if you've already made that decision and purchased the item .. you've already decided it's fair price "for you". So don't really get the need to come and have others validate or debate it afterwards. Just my 2cents. Maybe start a new thread/topic call "So, did I get screwed or what ?"

i dont think anyone has a problem with you asking what you should pay if they think you are doing it as a last resort. you should lead us to believe that you have exhausted all of the internet, not coming here first.
this is already been said, but if you havent looked at sold auctions (preferably not BIN) on ebay and pricecharting.com as a minimum, please do so first. ebay is the only consistent market determined price for these types of things (auctionsonly , not BIN... just because someone got lucky with a low BIN because the seller didnt know what it was worth, does not determine true price)
exceptions to this can be made for some of the rarer titles that dont come up for sale as often

I notice I didn't post my earlier pickups in the right section (should have gone in the PC Engine tab). Any reason why the site is so fragmented? No Knock or anything, just an honest question - I love the fact that most people here seem older than the usual video game message board crowd (37 here) and that they are very knowledgeable.
P.S. One last thing: I might have purchased a modded Duo-R (for reliability reasons, basically), but the Turbo Duo is hands on the coolest looking NEC console. It is up there with the Super Famicom/PAL Super Nintendo as the most beautiful console out there... IMO of course.

The owner of the store I get them from is long time friend, so I always get hooked up luckily. Now my problem is that I don't know what to play... ](*,)

My TG-16 finds for September along with some quick thoughts: (http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i430/ifkz/sept_zps39b58b08.jpg) (http://s1093.photobucket.com/user/ifkz/media/sept_zps39b58b08.jpg.html)
Darkwing Duck - this particular copy kept coming up very frequently as a BIN auction with prices that kept dropping, but no one ever picked it up. It finally dropped to a price that compared to recent PCFX for sale thread so I bought it. The game is a bit average, but it is another late release I am happy to own and play. It is not as bad as its reputation, certainly above Drop Off, I think.
Super Star Soldier - one of the first threads I started as a single digit new member was an inquiry into why this had gotten to be such an expensive title in just a few years since I was first building my TG-16 collection. I now know it is expensive because it is very, very good (as good as Soldier Blade) and, well, older games on the whole have just gotten pricey. Anyhow, as a game it is one of the top domestic releases, right up there with Blazing Lazers. Great, great, great game.
Spriggan - one of my favorite shump developers is Compile. I grew up with the SMS Power Strike, as a collector I have found the domestic releases on the NES, SNES, GENESIS, SEGA CD, and the TG-16 (of course). The ones from Japan on CD are all on my radar, and Spriggan seems to be the most affordable to (re)start my small PCE-CD collection. I finished the game the first time I played it, and it was a very pleasant romp. What a game, classic 16-bit Compile here, very reminiscent of M.U.S.H.A. and Robo Aleste from the Sega systems. I want...more Compile!
Bomberman - I, sadly, indulged in an ebay BIN for this one. Sometimes it happens, but at least the game is worth the money I spent. I can't say anything about this that is not known, it is one of the best multi-player party games on the system and a true landmark title.
My finds per month are only going to get smaller as my US TG-16 HuCard list is down to only a handful I think I can find for reasonable prices: BoxyBoy, Champions Forever Boxing, Yo Bro, Ghost Manor, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu and Bomberman '93 (leaving out the other 1993 games Tonma, Chase, & Bonk 3). At this point I am also out of donor cases, so I'll be starting to cut up old music CD trays to make things work.
One of my next month's TG-16 finds is in the mail; more exciting stuff soon!

I don't know about butted for all the stuff I got, assuming you mean ripped off, the dude was asking $1,100 for it all, but I talked him down to $600, which I felt very happy about. I think the dude just scoped out eBay prices and didn't know what he had, the super system card 3, had the TurboGrafx 16 logo on the bottom left, yet it was still priced at $20, so I'm pretty f*cking happy to finally have some good luck for this system, finally up to about 50 games.

Since that lot is worth around half of what you paid, you're not nearly as f*cking happy as the lucky seller.

I thought you might be trolling us, as to get a reaction to paying inflated prices. You must have a ton of money just burning a hole in your pocket. So glad I've been much better at sitting back and waiting for solid deals lately.

In this day and age getting 16 games for $600 including pretty good ones like Shadow Of The Beast, Y's III, Raiden seemed cool too, I was happy as f*ck with my purchase aha. A few years ago I could see these prices being laughed at but have you seen the inflated shit going on nowadays as opposed to even several years back, you need to understand prices go up whether we want them to or not, I play the games, love them, and talked him down to nearly half price, I'm still excited about it, just a bummer every time I happily come on the site to share the great games I have people imply I'm a retarded cunt lol.

Don't take it the wrong way. Glad your main focus is the enjoyment you get from playing this great titles. But if you post what you picked up .. people would reply with "awesome, great games". When you ask a question around here about whether you overpaid after the transaction is already done .. you're going to get people on both sides of the fence. I think you overpaid .. you don't. It came out of your bank account, so I really don't care. And yes, I collect in the same world you do .. and yes people are jacking the prices. But what supports the high prices, is people paying them. Especially retailers, if they don't sell anything .. they will have to re-evaluate their prices. Enjoy your games !

I would've taken the $20 super system card (quite the steal) and skipped the rest, as you could easily have picked up the remaining titles for under $580 (using null's prices and/or buying stuff here).
Not surprisingly, null is using fool's logic and completely ignoring that lots sell for far less than the sum of their parts and that the ebay sellers would've eaten 15% in fees.

Neutopia6, comrade, I think that you could save yourself a lot of grief by simply omitting the prices you paid. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
Please continue sharing your recent additions, and your thoughts on the games, but don't fuel the haters by including the amount you paid.
I am not saying this is fair, but please consider it...lots of folks keep this private, anyway. If more folks shared their actual costs, I suspect that we would have even more arguments.
Also, people would lie about the "great deals" they got.

not surprisingly, necro is being a dick in some fantasy land where I said anything remotely related to lots and fees, or claimed in any way that neutopia6 got a great deal. All I said, which is irrefutable fact, is that if he tried to buy those titles individually on ebay and scored the lowest price, he would have paid more. I didn' care to spend hours combing through all the sold lots to mix and match that set of games to find the magical set of auctions that would have landed those titles at a lower price. And even if i had, the seller's fees are not a factor in the equation of "what buyer pays" in any way.
I personally wouldn't have bought the lot. Like you, I'd grab the system card and be on my way.
I know you like arguing and trying to paint me as a slowtard gouger-enabler, but you're going to have to find something real to call me out on if you want to call me out. Lol... you might as well have said "and once again, nullity's logic ignores the land speed of an African swallow and the market price per lb of potatoes."
Aww, did I hurt your feelings? We all know you're the forum's defender of the downtrodden.... unless they're selling something you want, then the claws come out. :mrgreen:
I've also come to a similar conclusion lol, never share prices unless you get a stupid good deal aha.

It sounds like you are the one with a collectors ego. You are offended that people familiar with your new console dared to advise you not to pay $50 for Keith Courage. You've proven that you are both grossly out of touch with Turbo pricing and shopping, yet when given invaluable advice you take it as people making fun of you.
But Turbo fans do have a right to be concerned when you blindly pay whatever people ask. This is how collectards have artificially inflated the market, by preying on the ignorant and gullable gotta-gave-it-now insta set collectards. You should instead be asking why everyone is being so helpful and patient with you.
You're accusing those who corrected your misconception of Turbo hardware and games of elitist classism, after ranting about how you only play REAL games on ACTUAL hardware.

I take the advice, the constructive criticism just fine, its when people imply that I'm clueless or ruining the hobby that I feel a need to get defensive, we're all on this website for the same reason, we love NEC, why people need to pick each other apart over petty bullshit is the reason this is getting annoying.

Over the last ten years, I've observed members joining PCEFX for a lot of different reasons: 1) social Turbo gamers 2) Turbo hermits dropping in for repair services 3) Turbo collectors 4) homebrew developers 5) technicians and repair gurus 6) insatiable serial collectors looking for a new retro console less expensive than AES 7) "woe-is-me" collectors exploiting the community for buddy discounts 8 ) raffle leaches 9) "free-market" resellers looking for a fee-less ebay refuge 10) professional Trolls
I'll go out on a limb here and say that only #1-5 love NEC consoles.

You missed my favorite:
11) The wannabe millionaires.
You know, the guy who sees something he thinks he can make $$ from, and buys it up (Hey, I never heard of that system....Must be rare. Better buy it.). Then they do some E-Bay searching and see a listing for lots of $$$ (Thats been unsold for months), and figure they can come to where the 'collectors' are and get that much. And are then laughed at for trying to sell Keith Courage for $500 :) And are never heard from again.

I was just happy to share the cool TurboGrafx stuff I got, that super system card version 3 for $20 is initially why I didn't mind stating the price of everything else I bought, such a good feeling getting something super cheap for a chance, turbo related aha.

Got Bonk III (US Hucard only) off of Amazon for $54 after some gift cards. Originally was listed at $100. Normally I wouldn't spend that much on a loose card, but since I have the first two Bonk games in some form (Gates of Thunder pack-in), I thought I'd get the last entry aside from Air Zonk.

Arrived today! Wow, I ordered it Saturday morning and it came halfway across the country.
Got Bonk III (US Hucard only) off of Amazon for $54 after some gift cards. Originally was listed at $100. Normally I wouldn't spend that much on a loose card, but since I have the first two Bonk games in some form (Gates of Thunder pack-in), I thought I'd get the last entry aside from Air Zonk.
Yeah, like galam, I'm a little perplexed at your sudden return... You got caught gouging a homebrew game by vestcoat, you stormed off, deleted your account and then took to other forums to engage in "activism" against our forum as a whole (with the below quoted post) and now you want back in ?
I cut the cord from PCEngineFX. It's a horrible community, the worst I ever came across online. The people act self-entitled and hold grudges like no other.
I hate guys like you, you get into a fight and then negatively generalize everybody else that had nothing to do with it as well as the person(s) that you got into a fight with... 9X% of the posts here are typically boring, filler, positive material. They are not comprised of fighting/warring/flaming/etc., so stop defining us by it! It seems to be a pattern, the sort of loser of an argument or situation only ever sees or remembers the negative... I guess that sears into one's memory better ? I dunno, but yeah, looks like you and that zborgerd guy (from that thread) have the same approach of negatively generalizing people and misrepresenting them cause of your grudges...
Shouldn't you apologize and edit/retract that post of yours or does your ego not allow for the concept of admitting to being wrong at some level ?? You're basically smearing PCEngineFX's reputation because of vestcoat's detective work catching your sorry butt on that Mysterious Song sale and potentially sending a message to someone else on the Internet that might see that post not to ever come here, even though you yourself have now returned with an alternate account... Be a man and apologize already instead of just having creeped back in here like a weasel. I'm sure many others who already addressed your return would be happy to bury any hatchet as a result. My 2 cents.
EDIT: Seriously though, looking at that zborgerd prick's posts, HE "hijacked" that thread to do a far bigger smear job of PCEngineFX than what storino even attempted to start. That just irks me, thought I'd point it out. And looks like the guy has an account here as well: http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=387
Pffft. He made all sorts of nasty accusations, generalizations, making it personal, etc. AS a coward behind our backs, and even suspected a mod locked poor storino's account (to keep him from defending his reputation) when he himself had deleted it... The prick's never dealt with GameFAQs psychopaths/extortionists, libelous-type criminals evidently. Even so, the criticism of storino's gouge never got anywhere near the nastiness that the guy portrays, so he's essentially a lying liar much like storino was in his post.

lets not bullshit the price....it was 100.00. just because you used a gift card does not mean the game cost less. Gift cards are still money you could have used to buy tampons for your next little escapade of bullshit here. A gift card only means you had to pull less money out of your pocket.
Do us all a favor and leave. if we are so horrible then you have no reason to come back.
Truth of the matter is you probably are back here becuase you stormed off some other website after getting your parade rained on.

I'll tell you this: one of the orders, I refunded because the guy said he ordered "by mistake". That's why you see a purchase the same day I listed it and in the same city, go figure (the irony!).
I still have the broken case copy (and yes that one actually has a broken case during transit) in my collection. I can even post a picture of it against my username here, but again, what does it matter to any of you?

Thanks go to PCEFX forum member chop5 for making this particular purchase possible for me. Some collectors would call it a placeholder, I call it saving about $1000! I like the game, though I think Cotton is a bit more fleshed out as a complete package. I can only hope (and beg) that Bonk 3 and Legend of Hero Tomna get the same eventual CHucard release. It would certainly help a few bank account balances!
I am also on the fence about getting Coryoon in the same CHucard format. I guess that will be a purchase for another month down the line.
Please excuse the 'case.' I have not found a supply of CD cases yet, so this will have to do.

Get a Turbo Everdrive, play through a game you're considering paying $100 - $200+ for, then decide if it's worth buying that game before all the equally great <$30 games.
Title: Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?
Post by: ifkz on October 08, 2014, 01:10:03 PM
Yes, the Turbo Everdrive. It is such a reasonably priced product and it would open up the library, but....
One of my other hobbies is collecting arcade games. Every collector, at one time or another, builds a MAME cabinet which gives you access to thousands upon thousands of games. I built one early into the hobby, for example. Years past; it got a lot of use at first but having that many games on tap cheapened the experience somehow. One of my proudest decisions was to go through the trouble of turning it back into an arcade game again, now a SFII Championship Edition cab.
I know the Turbo Everdrive is different. Real code, real hardware, no game play differences whatsoever. I just can't get behind the idea in my head. I still find value in even loose original HuCards (or carts for other systems), I like the idea that these things have been around since the early 1990s when the system was new. They have survived all this time, they have a history in themselves.
These CHucards are great though. They only play one game, the costs are good, they still scratch my collector's itch, and they are good placeholders for the real thing until the market calms down or a good deal on an original comes up.
I also have not gotten a diveboard converter or any PCE hardware, so it would be a good way for me to play Coryoon. And...chop5 is cool beans.

It is a few days early, but my TG-16 purchase for October: (http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i430/ifkz/mc_zps4591ad5d.jpg) (http://s1093.photobucket.com/user/ifkz/media/mc_zps4591ad5d.jpg.html)
Thanks go to PCEFX forum member chop5 for making this particular purchase possible for me. Some collectors would call it a placeholder, I call it saving about $1000! I like the game, though I think Cotton is a bit more fleshed out as a complete package. I can only hope (and beg) that Bonk 3 and Legend of Hero Tomna get the same eventual CHucard release. It would certainly help a few bank account balances!
I am also on the fence about getting Coryoon in the same CHucard format. I guess that will be a purchase for another month down the line.
Please excuse the 'case.' I have not found a supply of CD cases yet, so this will have to do.
very cool, i'd love to pick this up!

Nice box collection! The sides of these boxes are always in the worst condition and yours look just out of the shrinkwrap. I am still looking for a cheap Jackie, I have read the game is very good so, enjoy it.

its definitely worth checking out. never played the nes version but I figured the tg version would have better graphics, bigger sprites and more vibrant colors. its a pricy one but if you can get it cheap, go for it!

Just did a BIN for $95 shipped for a TG16 in "great condition" with all cables and Air Zonk & R-Type.
There was a stock picture for the console and no pics of the games. A bit risky, but I guess I'll be ok because of ebay's buyer protection. With inflated prices and not knowing the condition of anything not sure if this was a good deal or not???
I have a TG16 and R-Type I for the PCE, so I only really needed Air Zonk. *If* I can resist my hoarding tendencies, the TG16 will be up for sale here; no gouging/ebay.

I'll post pics when it arrives. I think there's a chance, albeit very small, that the games aren't loose. The seller isn't a video game scalper, and has only sold ~4 other items this year on ebay. I think it's something like a mother who's selling their kids old video games or she found it at a yard sale and her grand-kids wanted a PS4 instead.
Loose, with manual, CIC or boxed I'm still getting Air Zonk, so happy days are here again.

I saw this auction too; it always pays to read the auction description! Good thing you did a BIN, I'm sure it would have ended up in a bidding war otherwise. Even if you just get two loose cards in the deal, you are pretty far ahead in terms of value. Also, thanks for offering up the system to the community, I'm sure it will find a good home here. Looking forward to those pics!

I picked up the Beeshu "Ultimate Superstick" for about 32 bucks. I've wanted an arcade stick to use for a while and had read that the Turbo Stick is not so great.
Somewhat ironically I then saw today (and won) an ok priced (23$) auction for a Playstation-to-Turbografx controller converter. So I suppose soon I can just use one of the many PS sticks I have.

I'm confused tucci...not trying to be a smartass, but what did you think it did? And what do you think it does now? I may have worded my post weirdly.
It doesn't work two ways (Doesn't make TG stuff work on PS) if you somehow read it that way. I just mentioned that I got a TG arcade stick AND the PS to TG converter because it was just kind of silly of me to get two solutions to one problem in the same weekend.
It only does one thing that i know of, let's me use PScontrollers on the TG. I love the PS2 controller (and the various other options the port offers me, turbo controllers, arcade sticks, etc) and do really want to obey with one. Is that sacrilege? :twisted:

Well when i first saw that ps2-tg16 converter i was confused as to why someone would want to use a regular dual shock controller to play turbo games. Hadn't realized it could be used for ps2 fight sticks for fighting games and such on the turbo.
But if you're a fan of the ps2 controller, i won't judge! I'll have to keep my eye out for that converter in the future.

I do actually like the TG controller just fine! I may use a PS2 dual shock only because I have a nice wireless one...though my experience says wireless doesn't always like converters for some reason (My logitech PS2 wireless controller doesn't work through a PS2-Xbox converter for some reason).
But yeah this is mostly for using sticks. Ironically (again) I got the Beeshu stick in the mail yesterday...and the down direction was shot. I opened the controller up and someone had pulled on down, so hard, that the board had cracked (!) and the spring and leaf contact had been wrecked. Seller was great and I got a refund but now I REALLY want to use the thing, having it in my hands!
haha and thans for not judging! O:) I play my Atari 7800 with a Genesis controller too!

Ghost Manor is basically "Turbo Wizards & Warriors". Just like the NES game, you have to learn how it works and not play it like it's some other stereotypical game. Like too many games, it gets a bad rap for things that popular "classic" games do. But because it's not published by the right company for the right console, it gets dismissed as garbage while games with similar issues continue to be worshipped as "legendary".
Protip: the best tutorial for Ghost Manor is clearing the first stage of Wizards & Warriors.

Well, the seller says he shipped a game I purchased (not Tonma) with a tracking number. I'll see if I have something to share for December, or a buyer protection claim.
Mine was no deal, I paid fair market.
I feel for the buyer that lost out on the first auction for Tonma. Reminds me of a great auction I won in the past, only to have the seller say 'they tested it during a thunderstorm, lightening hit, and the machine and game smoked.' Yea right. I'm with Necro, real pessimistic that Tonma was the instant ebay troll find of the year.

Though not a game, the TG-CD system card is also caseless.

Awesome thank you ifkz! I had read something like this but then saw some of these games in jewel cases on ebay. Now I notice none of them have end labels, meaning it is just some random case.

Ghost Manor is basically "Turbo Wizards & Warriors". Just like the NES game, you have to learn how it works and not play it like it's some other stereotypical game. Like too many games, it gets a bad rap for things that popular "classic" games do. But because it's not published by the right company for the right console, it gets dismissed as garbage while games with similar issues continue to be worshipped as "legendary".
Protip: the best tutorial for Ghost Manor is clearing the first stage of Wizards & Warriors.
This is what changed my view of the game and made me want to get it a few years ago.
:)
You also changed my mind about Night Creatures, which I had initially condemned as "broken"

Well I just got a Quickshot Python 4 for the TG. Jumped on it largely just because I didn't know it existed until I saw it and the aftermarket controller scene for TG is so bare. Not much I can actually use it for I know where it's better than the pad, though I could see using it on Galaga and a few others.
Was 25$ for it and Falcon 2.0 together. Made me smile to think someone had this as a pair from childhood as a flight simulator.

Heh, I snagged one of those quickshots back in the day because it was only $5 new, and I still feel ripped off. :lol:
Falcon 2.0? Must be a rarez dev cart. :mrgreen:

I'll admit I'm a sucker for accessories. The more third party and weird the more intrigued I am somehow. And the Turbo has so little!
Not sure why I thought Falcon had a 2.0 designation, the seller didn't list it like that...I must be thinking of the PC series! :lol:

Is that a box protector on it too? I never really understood the new trend towards box protectors in the hobby. Do they help warped paper boxes become more square again?
Then again, I also never understood keeping the shrinkwrap on a game after it's opened. I always ripped and tossed.

yes its a box protector and it's basically to keep the boxes looking their best and protecting it from shelf wear, dust, moist and makes the box look better. its different than having a game sealed and i dont keep my games sealed but i put them in a box protector so they can stay in the mint shape that they are

Just did a BIN for $95 shipped for a TG16 in "great condition" with all cables and Air Zonk & R-Type.
Looking forward to those pics!
Better late than never:
(http://i60.tinypic.com/1zf0bo1.png)
To my great surprise there was a Case, Dock, CD ROM, and multitap in addition to the loose Air Zonk, R-Type, TG16 and controller. There was also a manual for Order of the Griffon, no game though. No system card or AC adapter, I offered to buy them or any TG stuff from the seller; no dice, it's all gone.
CD didn't spin at first, after greasing it's working, but with slow loads; it'll get there.
All of this for $95, who said there's no more deals on eBay? (Everdrive is mine)

You know, that is a once in a lifetime ebay event to come out with that lot. Congratulations, really! It went to a good home, someone that will enjoy it, and a member of the forums to boot. I almost want to start to put together one of the early CD units myself, if not for my TurboDuo making the pull to spend the money for one almost zero. Still, the hardware collector in me wants one and the urge has not left yet.

I'm much more interested in hardware than software. For me, since I got an Everdrive I don't have as much interest in picking up hueys. At the moment I'm mostly going for CD games, which I could burn...
I've bought enough recently to satiate myself for a long time. When I get the itch, the next two systems I want to put together are a Core Grafx II with a Super CDROM2 and a "frankenbob": PAL TG, TG Dock, PCE CDROM. (http://i49.tinypic.com/34r7rxk.jpg)

That's a 6 foot TurboGrafx 16 sign - this was most likely hung inside a Software ETC or Babbages back in the day.
From the left: 2 TurboDuo extension cables, TurboGrafx secrets book, 3 JPN HuCards, Club Turbo/TurboGrafx Product Line/TurboGear pamphlets, a TG-16 and TG-CD manuals, over a dozen issues of TurboPlay/DuoWorld/TurboForce mags, and a poster from Shadow of the Beast.

The sign is combination of rigid cardboard and some sort of plastic coating on the logo side. It is really strong whatever it is, and it shows as it is still in really good shape after all this time.

TG-16 purchases for December! (http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i430/ifkz/IMAG0451_zps0f8dc4f1.jpg) (http://s1093.photobucket.com/user/ifkz/media/IMAG0451_zps0f8dc4f1.jpg.html)
This month had a lot more purchases than I thought possible, so to jump right into my mini-reviews:
1. BoxyBoy - Here is a unique and under appreciated puzzler that I found I really enjoyed. The puzzles are well thought out, the graphics are better than I expected, and the game even uses the save capabilities of the TurboBooster Plus and/or the Duo.
2. Coryoon - another of Chop5's reproductions. I guess I could have the same thing with a TurboEverdrive, but I bought it anyhow. Am I crazy? I have not purchased a TurboEverdrive yet..not sure if I will in the future. Anyhow, it is a fantastic shooter, a well known import that reminds me of Air Zonk. Fun, fun, fun game.
3. Psychic Storm - another good shooter that turned up on my short list of English friendly imports. Great soundtrack, solid shooting action, a must have reasonably priced import.
4. Schbibin Man 3 - Thanks go to 'The Brothers Duomazov' for their glowing recommendation of the sequel to the US HuCard Shockman. Just as crazy at the review says, with great graphics and a reasonable difficulty level too. A chance find on the 'bay.

It's been a big month for me. Picked up a region modded Duo from Keith Courage. Got Alien Crush from jtucci31. Traded Desh Mario paint for Bonks adventure. Neo nectaris is on the way from bluebmw. I also got lords of the rising sun and cosmic fantasy 2 from Keith courage. And finally, I also have ninja spirit and sidearms on the way.
I'm so excited to finally have Lords of the rising sun again. It, and Vasteel, are the main reasons I decided to get back into the Turbo "scene".

Well after several dry months of not uncovering any new Obey .. I get a facebook message out of the blue. Local collector saw a comment where I alluded to my retro collections main focus being TG16 and PCE. Informs me he has a TG16 CD-Rom addon he'd be willing to part with. Having seen alot of beat up, loose, needing repair units I advised him to send me some photos, and a ballpark price. I didn't wait around for the photos, but when I checked the next morning it was a boxed TG16 CD-Rom addon :lol: Well, now he has my attention. Box looks to be ~7/10, but he gives a backstory that the unit itself was found in a warehouse that use to give out promotional items. So he said despite wear and tear from being moved around all these year, the internal contents are mint .. and that he believes the system has never been used. So anyway, this is what I picked up. I included photos taken during the unboxing as it really does appear this has never been used. The content are indeed very very clean. I am a very very happy Obey-er at this point.
It came with 4 CD games (Exile, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Buster Bros. , and Neo Nectaris). Assuming seller came by this via other means as they were not sealed, and Neo Nectaris is missing manual.
(http://i57.tinypic.com/wb9n4g.jpg)
Alittle look around the backside .. thinking I can gently remove some of these light marks. Will leave it for now however.
(http://i59.tinypic.com/n1qhdw.jpg)
Now some unboxing. Styrofoam and baggie all very clean and minty.
(http://i58.tinypic.com/ejyj9d.jpg)
Carrying case is minty .. small plastic is still over the TG16 logo (resisting urge to peel it off)
(http://i60.tinypic.com/23ldwch.jpg)
Again .. all styrofoam, packaging is mint. Really starting to believe this was never sold at retail or used.
(http://i58.tinypic.com/14ui9tx.jpg)
Not a scratch or scuff on the main deck .. clean, clean, clean (Obey porn!)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/14blr2o.jpg)
These have been opened before, but also look unused. Anyone know if there where suppose to be any other inserts with this when new ?
(http://i59.tinypic.com/2hi9r0i.jpg)
CD unit all nice and boxed, and very clean also
(http://i59.tinypic.com/14kxijq.jpg)
And last photo (sorry for the long run .. taking up alot of thread space. But hopefully others enjoyed seeing this.)
(http://i57.tinypic.com/walzps.jpg)
I'm very pleased with this find. This was something I never got to purchase new as a teenager. I recall going into my local Radio Shack and looking at it, but was a young teenager and just didn't have the funds to grab one.
In my travels as an adult, not something I've come across. Occasionally seeing various loose, in poor to good condition. So had to jump at this when the opportunity arose.

I just got home with it an hour ago. Unboxed it carefully, taking pictures the entire way through. I uploaded them to share with my fellow Obey-bros. I was going to get insight from some that know more about the inter workings of these units .. as to whether there is anything I should consider checking or doing before powering it on. As it could well have been sitting for 25 years in a warehouse. But I'm really itching to just try the damn thing out.

Comrade, I loved all the pictures. I don't remember the back of the box at all. I love seeing that sort of thing. :)
Good luck, hope it works :) (even if it doesn't, it can be fixed and working ASAP, anyway).
I am not a tech guru, but many folks here have suggested that cleaning off old grease and putting new lithium grease on sled will help (something about old lubricant, especially if left unused for long periods, can become "gunk" and may put stress on the plastic gears.
Anyway, someone else with actual tech experience can help you more than I can :)

I don't normally collect cardboard. Really only made the exception lately for some Obey related items. Just something about the nostalgia for me, from either items I owned as a teenager, or wished I had owned (and visited at the local Radio Shack).
So I had to jump on this quickly .. not sure if the price was low, fair, or high. But I wanted it, and I am comfortable with the price I paid (which I think too many people lately worry about what others think was a deal or not)
I got the bundle (and I needed Buster Bros., Sherlock Holmes, Neo Nectaris for my collection and the case/spine to complete my Exile) for $300 Canadian (so ~$250 USD) and it was a local pickup so no shipping (and given the size of this box was glad I didn't need to get shipping on it)
I will look into greasing the gears and sled before I test the unit. Do you know of any links that could show me that process ? or should I ping Turbokon or Keith Courage to ask for how-to help ? I am not someone who typically takes stuff apart these days. So would be a complete newbie with this.

Cool! What time you plannin on going? I got a meeting to be at around 6:30pm but free all day before that.
hey, i'm planning to be there around 430 or so! when you come in, be sure to yell out majid!
the store owners will know what you're talking about lol
Kuban0, Make sure to yell out wat?? What's a majid?
Also estebins, here's Hyper Wars myuuusics ripped at 320. Hope it's of some use. EDIT: I just PM'ed you the link to it.
Samumaru, tread carefully my friend. I am a man of many languages which have been acquired along the course of my vast travels. I do not care to delve into the details of how I learned this particular phrase, but you should know this:
"Majid", when called out in public, is Cuban slang used to declare one's willingness to become the center of an impromptu bukkake.
HEED THIS WARNING.
Wait.... wut??

bukkake? At a game store? Oooh those poor games lol
the origin of majid originally became a rental sticker of a rental store that existed back then. It was on some of the games that i bought from retro city. But it has evolved into something more.

Welcome, Vmorr! That's a pretty nice starter kit you got there. And a decent price to boot. Bloody Wolf, Military Madness, both of the Crush games (please chime in on which one you prefer!) and Final Lap Twin are all really fun. Final Lap Twin includes an RPG mode where you race instead of fight. It's awesome and I've never seen anything else quite like it on other consoles.

Hahaha I thought the whole RPG thing was a typo or something. Big fan of RPGs and automotive stuff so this is pretty interesting. I'll have to play through it sometime.
Played a bit of the Crush games, I think I prefer Devil's Crush more. I like that the board has a lot more going on and the transitions between sections are smoother. Although I found it easier to keep on the board in Alien Crush.

Gabbed this today CIB. Guy posted an ad on Kijiji asking $150 CAD, but also said he'd trade for a NES and a couple games. I've got 3 NES' that I recently "refurbished" for sale so I figured what the hell. Ended up trading him a deck with new hookups, 2 controllers, a Zapper, SMB/Duckhunt, SMB 2 and SMB 3 for it. I wanted to keep the Zapper to pair with another console but oh well, I think I did ok.

It has been months since I have been able to contribute to my own thread. First of all, thanks to members: mrhaboobi, Sparky, and slinkyturd for making this post possible.
Here's a picture: (http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i430/ifkz/IMAG0462_zpszsepqlgi.jpg) (http://s1093.photobucket.com/user/ifkz/media/IMAG0462_zpszsepqlgi.jpg.html)
I am really happy here, some of these games I thought would never be complete. Most of the time I can go months between finding loose manuals at auction, and here are eight of them all at once for some of my oldest games. For example, Cadash was among my first ever games for the TG-16 when I started collecting, and now I can look at the complete game like a proud parent! Sparky's famous labels also help the look; ex-Keith Courage trays have the hardest labels to remove!

So what's the deal with this thing? Does it have a battery that can die inside, or is it something else? I've got a Memory Base 128 but god that thing's a pain in the ass what with the batteries and the controller port plugging.

I picked up Final Lap Twin and scored a decent deal on ebay for a $31 Exile. Both CIC. I bid 31.50 when the auction went up, and no one else bid. Not a great deal, but no gouging. Right in the median of Video Game Price Charting.
I went overboard the last 2 months, so I am lying low until I go to Gen Con at the end of the month. Hopefully Indy has some nice stuff for me.

Blazing Lazers is next on my list. Trying to get all the games i pick up in as good of condition as i can with the outer boxes if possible.

In the end though, the Parasol Stars is the first Turbo thing I have gotten in quite some time, so it was nice to have something new.

Be careful, cheap TG-16 sports games can be addictive to collect. Soon you will have them all and want more games. Then you will look at your collection and think: "I could have the entire US HuCard library if I just find a few more titles!" It is then that the madness starts!!!
Good pickup, keep 'em up.

Meh, I'm not a noob to the Turbo world by any stretch of the imagination, just haven't been as active as I used to be in a long time. I had one when I was in High School, which was when it first came out, so yeah, been playing the games for a very long time.
I got's Devil's Crush and the PCE versions of Galaga '88, New Adventure Island, and also, finally, I have Bonk 3 in my collection. Nice little score and the games are pretty awesome! I came up, yo!

I have never been a big fan of Bravoman...it just never "clicked" for me.
However, I can think of many, many lamer games (Ballisirx!) that you should OUTRIGHT AVOID. I do not think I would put Bravoman on the OUTRIGHT AVOID list...
It is a very floaty (I don't have too much of a problem with that, but some folks might) action-platform with some quirky personality. Oh, there are some horizontal shootemup stages thrown into the mix.
Honestly, I think it was released in NA because it *looked* like ~MegaMan, but it is certainly not 1/100 of a MegaMan.
If money is tight, you might get more enjoyment by holding out for one of the "AAA" titles...

I have a chance to pick up bravoman under 20.00 and I'm wondering if anyone has played it or their thoughts on the game.
The biggest problem with Bravoman for me is there's just too much of it. After you play through a dozen or so stages, you get it. All the stages seem to repeat (though I've never beaten it, maybe there's some awesome unique stuff at the end). The voice samples I thought were cool back when I first got it and they don't really bother me to this day. I understand how they could get on your nerves though.
There's a lot of good here too though! It's been a while since I played it, but the music I remember being pretty awesome, though I should admit I only remember one track. :D I think the gameplay is solid. The control is good both in the platforming and shooter stages. The game has lots of personality. I still grin thinking about "Hello I'm a Japanese telephone box". :lol: You can beat up your buddy who just wants to help too. I thought the graphics were outstanding BITD. Wikipedia says this came out in 1990, I'm not sure when I first played it, but I still think it has some great parallax. Yeah, there's flicker, but it looks pretty good.
Bravoman hasn't historically been an expensive game. I think $20 for a complete copy is well worth it. I doubt you'll beat it, but I've gotten far more than $20 worth of entertainment out of that game.

Its great if you like hearing Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! (https://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji37.png) I do not.
I do. It's the best!
Lol, I don't. My last name is actually Bravo so I hear it all the time.
Title: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?
Post by: grolt on August 05, 2015, 07:03:14 PM
I've bought a bunch of games this month, some from some board members here even that I am still waiting for Mr. Mail to deliver. In the meantime, perhaps fittingly, the first game to arrive was Bonk's Adventure. Popped that in for a little jaunt last night and I wasn't disappointed. When I bought the system new in '92 or so, Bonk was the main reason. The game just looked great with its big sprites and all the background animation. Unfortunately, while I was getting the system and a bunch of games at liquidation prices, my Radio Shack still held firm on pricing for the one TG-16 game they still had in stock - Bonk's Adventure. The $50 ask was just too rich for my blood (a LOT of paper routes), so thus I was stuck with the likes of DEEP BLUE and PARASOL STARS (oh, the irony how Stars is worth over double that price today!). Playing Bonk yesterday though, fleeting as it was, felt like a missing link in my childhood was finally restored. Since I'm not close to finishing yet I will keep my impression brief, but the thing that impressed me most was how it wasn't Mario. Or Wonderboy. Hudson made a platformer with its own voice. Headbutting instead of jumping on enemies, climbing walls, those turbo spins to safety - the physics and gameplay are both just refreshingly unique. Plenty left to go, but it feels great finally playing (and loving) that Holy Grail that always eluded me as a kid.

Please learn the proper names of games before typing them into eBay. Also click on the box to the left "Sold listings", to see what games have actually sold for.
Since you have no idea what anything is "worth", you should also click the "Completed listings" box, without the "Sold listings" box checked. Then pay attention to the prices that games fail to sell for.
All you've done so far is helped to inflate the market so that game flippers with list higher and higher asking prices, holding out for that one rare sucker.
