Good idea. I wish I had a picture of the 85% new Battle Tap from the Stone Age.

Turbo Grafx 18? Sprits? and let the jokes begin  . . .

Now you too can own your very own Turbo Grafx 18 game - why settle for the sixteen when you can have eighteen

At this one is legal boys . . .

it's not a real 18 bit game, that's just what they said to sell it.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

3. auction should come with epilepsy warnings with the switch between 72pt and 12pt fonts.
So it wasn't just me.  Good to know.  My brain hurt after looking at that listing.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

I love auctions like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEGA-Nintendo-64DD-Dreamcast-JAGUAR-LaserActive-NEOGEO-TurboDuo-ATARI-Saturn-NES-/160911555288?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2577137ad8

$25000 starting price and they cannot be bother to:
1) Take legible photos.
2) Make a list of what is included.

Yeah that guy is ridiculous and here he says: "This is a very limited time offer auction, don't miss out on this great deal, Priced as one lot, will not be separated."

He's been relisting this lot for months.  The price did come down, though, originally they wanted like $64,000+ for it.

This was around a year ago, but the funniest Turbo auction I ever saw was a TG-16 lot that contained "Nerd Blasters". Suffice to say, it was "Aero Blasters", but I guess the seller was thrown off by the font, haha.

Haha, what a strange photo to accidentally upload. I guess the TG-16 must be in the back of that truck. :P

Maybe that's a shot of the guy that stole it from him as he was posting the auction using his eBay app.

Another fun one.

•This auction is for Keith Courage in Alpha Zones.  This game is a rare classic that ever single person in the US must own and it’s so RARE that everyone can!  I can’t stress again how rare this game is, just walk into some Wal-Mart store and try to find it...YOU WONT.  Wal-Mart has everything including hillbilly hookers.....Just ask my neighbor, I think he lives there but you sure as hell wont find the almighty Keith there.  Just look at all the other auctions on eBay, they all tell you how rare it is, ITS RARE because we say so and you have to trust that because you read it on the internet.

This game is so darn rare that the original owner didn’t open it.  Either he knew how rare it would be someday or frankly he was aware of just what kind of craptastic display of how this game utilized all of 12 colors out of the available 512 the Turbo Grafx had.  You’re no collector unless you have a new unwrapped stack of games you can’t play sitting around.  Keith Courage was known for ultra fast game play, accurate and precise controls and drop dead gorgeous color spectrum that only a pallet of 12 colors can provide.  Trust me on this, after all you’re only going to buy it and let it sit on a shelf, you won’t know the difference!

 

I am only listing this once so you better jump all over it because once the auction is over; I am just going to list it again with another final listing threat!  You wont see this game on eBay, it only sells once are twice a year.  All those other auctions are just inferior.  Get the real collectable here and just think of it like this, after this sits on a shelf collecting dust for the next 10 years and isn’t worth the plastic it’s made out of, you can turn around and sell it as an investment and put the kid you think is yours through junior college.  Collecting games make you as cool as you want to be on the interwebz, get all over this game because it’s definitely a rare collectors item.

 

I might VGA grade this game and if I do....watch out its going to be worth millions and don’t you worry.....one of you space cadets sitting in your basement will buy it and I will take the money and buy up more inflated prices TG16 games and resell them even higher for a good ol fashion gamer raping!

Wow... I can't really blame the auction for this, but... wow.  I have to chuckle every time I scroll through the search results for "turbo duo".


That is simply divine. FIND MORE BAD ART, please.
