Question regarding Magical Chase

[Necromancer]

No laughter to be had; my offer was dismissed without comment. 

Were the VGA grade report scans included earlier?  In my offer, I mentioned that there's no such thing as a 9.0 VGA grade, so he may have added 'em to 'prove' that I'm wrong.  Either that or I just missed 'em last time.

Do we really need to re-hash this?

Sometimes the truth hurts, eh?

I honestly wish they had just never released MC in the US. All it did was give gloating rights to Crazy Dion wannabes and drive up the price of the JP version by association

Just did a web search and couldn't find my answer.  Anyone know how many copies of Magical Chase US were released?

No fewer than any of the other late Turbo releases, which adds to the ridiculousness of people charging thousands of dollars for it. It actually had a larger print run than many less expensive games.

Most of the 1993 and later releases had print runs of 1,500-5,000 units. 3,000 is the number I've been quoted as MC's print run from a friend who used to work at Hudson.

To put it in perspective for you: Order of the Griffon also had a print run of 3,000. Yes, the same name of copies exist of both Order and Chase. Think about it.

If that is the case...  I'll give you a steal of a deal.  Only $200 for my loose Order of the Griffon.

And OotG is more rare overall as a game since it's exclusive to the Turbo while Magical Chase was released twice in Japan.

That's so perfectly true. The japanese version is by no means a rare item. You can easily find 4 or 5 copies in every retro game shop in Japan. It really sucks to have to pay so much even for the japanese version.
