Brutally honest ebay auction

Funny and candid auction of the three TV Sports titles.  I almost want to bid, even though I don't really want it.

I can never help but laugh at those covers. What were they thinking?

Basketball is my favorite. Look at the expression on the guy's face. I ought to make that my new avatar.

haha! i actually ran across these today looking for some turbo stuff that IS honest!-and there should be more of  that on ebay

[ceti alpha]

Haha. That's hilarious. Very honest. But instead of the covers having the various athletes busting through the TV, the covers should be pissed off customers smashing their TV out of sheer frustration at how terrible these games are.

The covers are great - the covers are the best part.

Yay for honest auctioneers.

But how could NEC ever top their own "Takin' it to the hoop"?

I saw this during my searching yesterday, my wife got a real kick out of it too.

You can buy them and remake your own labels for different games,like the later titles that didn't have cases. After all,legit cases are not easy to come by. Best way to get them is buy lots of Keith Courage or Tv sports titles.

Yeah, I saw this while surfing ebay at school today. Made me smile, it did. Nice topic!

TV Sports Basketball had its quirks, but once you got used to the control scheme, it was actually a pretty decent basketball game.  IMHO, better than Lakers vs. Celtics.  I spent many many hours playing that game in my youth.  I just loved playing with the Wizards against the evil Outlaws!  Who can forget Etherton draining 3's, Difalco attacking the basket, and Allnite Long crashing the boards...

The other TV Sports titles did not fare so well.  Football was no fun at all.  Hockey was a decent game, but was much inferior to EA Sports NHL.

The auction even sends you a mail with a subject that is funny to read when you get outbid:

You have been outbid on Three crappy TurboGrafx-16 sports games TurboDuo NEC
