TG-16 Super Star Soldier, why so expensive?

[geise]

Just go for the pc-e version.  I believe it also has an intro that isn't in the US version.

So wait... someone else asks about why a game is so expensive and gets no horseshit?....

[TR0N]

pce version is cheap $25-30 and has way better art and manual

Flash card and CDRs is the solution. If you cannot keep yourself in check and resist collectarditis, those two will let you game on.

It's sad that its having to come to this. I still like owning the original games because I value them more and am prone to actually play them more.
I still have the turbo everdrive but mainly for imports as I have all the US games minus Magical Chase.

I have been tempted to go the CDr route but I’d rather own the games, although I do like the CDr route to try a game before I drop some $$$ in case I do not like it.

There’s something about owning & playing the originals that keeps me collecting.
Plus I really wanted allot of these games as a kid but had no way to purchase them at the time.
Surely but slowly I’ll grow my TG CD collection and maybe even find a Magical Chase copy in the wild.

Dang and this is not just limited to ebay with Super Star Soldier, if my forum searches are good, it rarely turns up for sale here. 

A Super Star Soldier was raffled here recently

Yes, there is but you do not see me collecting shit I cannot afford (Lamborghinis, real estate, US boxed Turbo games). Bitching about gouger and inflated prices does not get me more obey. Maybe we all get fancy, well paying jobs and we a can drop bank on originals.

PS: as a alternative, I've been buying cheap shit that entertains me: X-serd, Daisenryaku, Bari Bari, Mine Sweeper. Might not be the OMG-Must-own-noob games, but my ratio for price-to-entertainment is far better

dont get me wrong, i love the originals too, and really like buying them and playing them, but i must realize i dont want to invest so much into my entertainment, because beer and cars are my real entertainment.

I hear you.

Sadly, I bought lots of cheap stuff years ago...when I should have spent it on "more desirable" titles that I was too cheap to get.

Oh well.

At least I have managed to squeeze a lot of  fun from the unlikeliest of places...

I was going to say that the best part is that's free...  but my tissue expense must be in the millions by now.

I use a sock, so I save the $$$$.

Truth, I was really shocked at how much better the Japanese HuCard looks compared to the plain US version after seeing it recently...

Compare to the plain US version where they just went mostly cheap, white.
