see topic :)
I see the topic, and I don't get it.

think he means "in search of," that's my guess
-
I don't get either. If your looking for just an empty box why put "ISO" in the title?

Why not? Will you BAN me or something?
I have one, but since there are no prices being thrown around I'll go away.

Sorry, I didn't know what you meant by, "ISO". Uusally that refers to a disc image, and not the name of a Leonard Nemoy show. Now that you've edited the subject it makes more sense. Now I understand.
Once again, I apologize.
Also, you are a huge illiterate dick (no offense GUTS).
-
This is an extremely confusing topic.
-
This is exactly what I'm taking about. No one comes to these forums anymore because it's the same people who try to flame. I get called a dick for defending myself.
It's always the same guys...
I wish they just went away !!! *sigh*
I hope this passes the literacy test. Don't you know?
-
ISO = "in search of" ? I really thought you meant cd images too. It would have been less confusing for everyone if you had used WTB = "want to buy".
Btw shouting at people with the CAPS key is plain rude man. If you want something ask us nicely.
-

It would be easier to follow if he wasn't constantly going back and editing his posts. You'd think with all those tries he'd manage to form complete sentences once in a while instead of this broken shit. I feel like someone is sending me SMS messages from a lunatic asylum.

Will do, my apologies to you Rolins, you are one of the few I actually like here. Along with Keranu, D-Lite, Cavein and where is Michael Helgeson? Anyways, every forum Ive ever been to uses ISO for in search of. I will use WTB in the future.
I just wanted to point out Im not the one that was rude first. But oh well, friends?

Were cool dude. :wink:

This thread does bring up an interesting point--are there a lot of jerks on this board? Or do new people and outsiders have that impression?
I was pretty impressed by how talkative and helpful everyone was when I stumbled on here a year and a half ago.
I've seen some heated debates but I think most of the ribbing that goes on is pretty good-natured.
People on here definitely have some strong opinions but that can be expected with a crowd of fanatics clinging to a console that's been dead for a dozen years.

Agreed. This is one of the reason why I joined. Back in those months, no one flamed no matter how dumb the question was. I think the hatred started with all the sapphire bootleg threads.
Again, all I was asking for is a box to buy of someone. God please don't kick me out of heaven for not using WTB....Different people use different want ads.
So excuse me for using In search of "ISO". The would have responded better to "Hey man, what does ISO mean? If you tell me maybe I can help." Instead of an "I don't get it."
What good does that do? So yeah jerks have been plentiful here lately. I won't say names, they know who they are. And I glad to know Im not alone in this view.

Agree completely, when I joined people like Keranu and Seldane and many others were answering the dumbest questions I had to offer!! This is definitely a big misunderstanding. I think we can brush the minor confusion aside and be pals(ISO, WTB, who really cares?). Anyway, we have a job to do, Lets find Mothergunner a Ys I + II box, and by golly, the map too if he needs it!! Remember in Care Bears movie 2, when they all hold hands and say "We care!! WE CARE!! (in unison) WE CARE!!!! Well, I have no idea how that is relevant at all, but I think I'm going to go back to playing Dragon Warrior II now....
I'll keep an eye out for the box for you on Digital Press/E-bay for now, you might have to buy the game complete though and then sell the rest off.

OK, I once again don't get it. I didn't know what you meant by ISO, so I said, "I don't get it". I fail to see how that is a jerk response. Is that actually offensive to you? It seems like a %100 neutral comment to me. If that is offensive to you, I'd hate to see what effect actual rudeness would have on your obviously very sensitive psyche.

Thanks Man! I have the map, just need the empty outer cardboard box... But come to think of it, who would want to let theirs go??

Dude its all a matter of perception. I don't feel the same yesterday as I feel today.
Had a bad weekend, did I bring to this forum... Maybe yes. Did I take it out on you while misunderstanding your comment? Maybe yes. To that extent I apologize.
And no I am not crazy. True, I am an Army veteran, and got shot up with ALOT of anthrax. Everyone that knows me knows Im one of the least sensitive guys around. I do have a Type A personality so when someone that I percieve to be rude, is rude, I come back harder. Other than that I never "start" fights.
So let's bury the hatchet and move on. Plus when I meant "jerk" I didn't necessarily mean you. You calling me a dick is no problem. I had s Drill Sergeant father, and a wife that delivered me a beautiful son. I was called everything but a child of God in that delivery room, so trust me, I can take minor insults.
Friends?

Yeah, I have the pack in version, I always wanted the regular version though with the map!! I'm not one to collect the boxes, but that is one of the few games I actually bid about 100 bucks for the complete/unopened version. Lost the auction but I guess I expected that. By the way, couldn't find a thing on ebay and Digital Press is up and down right now, I'll look around when I can actually get onto the site.

Hey MotherGunner, I think you're going to have tough time finding this box. I have collected a list of about two dozen online vendors that carry NEC games, about half of whom stock domestic/US titles and none of them even have the Ys 1-2 in stock, let alone a seperate box.
(After doing some google searches I did find a place that has the disc only for $30. If anyone is interested, let me know.)
Anyway, I'd recommend two courses of action:
1) Make some phone calls and emails to the online shops you know of and call any local game stores. Ask them if they happen to have a loose box lying around. It appears that videogametrader stocks Ys every couple weeks, ask them (http://store.videogametrader.com/cmysbookiandii.html).
2) Doing Google searches I also found a place called Game Trading Zone. It looks like you can place a wanted ad on there or you could ask the 9 guys willing to trade the game if they'd split with just the box (http://gametz.com/?x&A=Games&availitem=Ys+Book+I+%26+II&attr=NEC+TurboGrafx-CD).
Good luck dude.

Awesome info, thanks!

My advice is to keep looking for a complete copy on Ebay, and sell off everything except the box once you win the auction. If you do it that way, I will buy your map for 25 bucks!! Keep at it!!

Sweet, I will pm you if decide to go for that.

found one!!

I'm actually going to say I'd probably pick up the map from you for 20 shipped if that would be okay, I got a little excited originally. I might be interested in everything but the box too. Let me know what you think. Well see what it ends up going for i guess. Not sure, actually, does the map fit inside the regular jewel case? Anyone?
-
The map does indeed fit inside the regular jewel case. I know because I have two of them.
...I just don't know where they are anymore. :cry:
-
thanks bro.

My Ys map measures 5 1/2" tall, and 4 1/4" wide, folded. It does not fit the jewel case. Jewel case inserts are 4 3/4". My map looks the same as the one in the link cavein provided.
-
Well, I only really want the map if it tucks in nicely inside the case. If it doesn't I don't really have an place where I keep loose items for my collection. Any ideas, or just skip it?

I'd just grab an empty DVD case and throw the map in there, assuming it fits. I'm too lazy to measure stuff right now. If you really don't want the map, send it to me :). Seriously, though, it wouldn't be hard to keep it safe.
-
So did anyone here win that auction?
-
no, I would have bid on it too, but didn't want to compete with you. good ending price too.
