Holy WTF Pulseman

[SuperDeadite]

Just out of curiosity (and since I'm dumb), what's the deal with Europe?

Traditionally Europeans have always been willing to pay more, mostly due to ignorance.  These days however with the Yen so low compared to the Euro and Pound, prices have never been better for them.  Hence they are hoarding like crazy, anything remotely uncommon is getting bought out.  They then tend to keep the price high as when they sell, they like to include the import tariffs they paid in their prices.  Just look at any European heavy forum like schumps, all the Euro people have WTB threads in USD, but their for sale threads in Euros.  Nickel and dimming to the max.

That is crazy.  I wound up buying Pulseman, Twinkle Tale, Alien Soldier, and Eliminate Down many many years ago before this madness.  Glad I did I now, as it's like like a lot of those JP Mega Drive games are becoming untouchable at this point.

Yep.  All in the $250-350 range.

I wonder if they're any cheaper if you find them on Yahoo Japan auctions?  I used to browse that site looking for cheapo transforming robot toys, but never for video games.

Not really by much.  Most folks use proxy buyers or other methods to buy the stuff now.

I am going to need to find some other way.

If you want a repro, this is probably the best quality you will find:

I want to say I have it?  Wasn't this game included in that Sonic PS3 collection with other games like splatter house nearly every sonic Genesis game and such?

I've never bought a Genesis repro from UncleTusk, but I bought some of the Virtual Boy repros he made and the quality is top notch.  I would assume that translates to his Genesis stuff as well but I can't personally say.  I think he is also a regular on NintendoAge if you want to ask him specific questions before purchasing.

Good to know i was wondering since i've never bought from there.There were times i wanted to buy a original copy of pulseman but it's to late now.

I have also seen the price spikes with 16 & 8 bit games only in the past two years.  It is bad enough that I am beginning to think the collecting part of my/our hobby is quickly coming to an end.  I bought Elemental Master complete for below $50 this time last year.  Great game, but now look at it!  It's on the way to triple digits, easily.  In the same search, I see a Genesis shooter collection of six games that has just crossed the $500 mark. Yesh!

Last week an old co-worker told me he just bought a Retron 5 and "happily" spent $40 on a loose Toejam and Earl cart.  No wonder prices are going up.  Uh oh.

[PunkicCyborg]

Even $50 seems expensive for Elemental Master... I got mine for $10 complete at a game store 4 years ago

Around here the game stores use price charting which is BS. I wish that site would go away. There's really no good deals to be had anymore unless you get lucky at a flea market or yard sale. Hell even goodwill is funneling their gaming goods to their own auction site, and retro game stores.
