People Play Games has a very great selection for all systems. But yeah, some of the rarer titles tend to be way overpriced. Any noteworthy turbo or AES games at the store, Jeff? It's been a while since I visited PPG.

As long as you're not buying grail games behind the glass case, the deals aren't horrible but they're creeping up past eBay prices in some cases. But on the flipside you get to actually see what you're buying before you buy it. So there's that.

They had a decent wall of U.S. Turbo stuff for $8-10 bucks a piece, complete. Behind the glass case they had CIB U.S. copies of Soldier Blade, Dungeon Explorer 2 and Terraforming. Some other goodies like Under Defeat for the DC, MUSHA for the Genesis along with a bunch of complete boxed NES games for absurd prices. Nothing "OMGRARE" this time around but a good selection if you have the $$$.

For AES they had 3 Count Bout and Blue's Journey both CIB for $50 each. They had some loose AES in the glass case but I didn't bother to translate the names on the labels.

Good chance that Soldier Blade was the same one that was there two years ago. Still too expensive I'd wager.

I used to go that store frequently during my college days. The owner is a really cool guy. He knows me by name. His prices used to be reasonable on just about anything, even rarer stuff. I remember picking up US Soldier Blade with manual for $40 about 3 or 4 years ago. The owner even threw in about a dozen hucard sleeves. In the past two years the prices have really gone up on the rarer stuff, such as $350 for a CIB Soldier Blade and $250 for CIB Shockman last time I was there...

Like Jeff said, the store is definitely worth getting to if you are in the area. There aren't too many places where you can see turbo games out in the wild, among other cool games. :)
SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

I walked by that Media XChange a couple blocks down from there; that place was pretty good if I remember from our trip a couple years ago. I had to cut myself off though, heh.

How did you get it for free?

I picked up my copy today.  The guy said they didn't get many in.  I'm glad I went on launch day.

Isn't Herman Li the guitarist from Dragonforce?  Man, he's a monster.  I remember watching a video awhile back where he said a lot of his licks were inspired by retro games.

Yes, Herman Li is indeed the guitarist from Dragonforce. I have only owned an acoustic guitar over the 20+ years that I have been playing so I wanted to get a nice electric guitar and spent some vacation money towards it since I didn't go on a cruise this year.
