WTB: Soldier Blade, Air Zonk for TG-16

[KGD]

Hi there. I picked up a few games to see how much I liked it, and here I am back for more. Downward spiral kind of thing, I guess.

Looking for a preferably loose, clean copy of Soldier Blade (US). If you have the manual we can work things out. I don't care for a complete, boxed version at this point.

Also looking for a copy of Air Zonk. Same idea than Soldier Blade... I'm not after a boxed copy - a loose, or hucard / manual copy will be all right.

Willing to pay with PP, I'm located in Canada.

Cheers in advance.

Welcone man, your talking to a fellow Canuck. Where are you from?

[bonoedgey]

fellow canuck here too just starting out with the TG16 and with this forum. I really am just a newbie when it comes to getting into the TG16/PCE.  I have so far only one TG16 game which is not shocking Keith Courage (I know I know don't laugh).  Well anyways sorry for barging in on your topic. I just wanted to say hello to another fellow canuck starting off. I am going to have to try to start going with this wonderful system's catalog as well

From SK btw.

Take care

Where's my popcorn. This same thing just happened not a few days ago.......

Time for the lulz when people wake up.... oh I can't wait, this is going to be so exciting!!

Fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride, be sure to keep arms and legs in the cart at all times for your safety.

I'm in QC. My picking up a TG16 is a very random affair... I woke up one morning a few days ago and decided "what the hell, I want one". I have no idea where the thought came from. Called a local gameshop and they had a vanilla console for sale. Dropped by, snatched the machine.

I used to have a very extensive JP Megadrive / Saturn collection, but had to sell a few years ago to put money into another hobby. Shocked at the going rate of carts/discs these days! Still, considering how the stuff I bought with the money at the time greatly appreciated too, I can't say it's a waste at all. Pretty sure the people I sold the games too still have them. Bought from gamers/collectors, sold back to gamers/collectors.

Thanks for the welcome so far!

Hey Sparky,  See you are in Sunderland.  I am just 40 min drive south in Whitby/Brooklin.

KGD, 

My advice (from a fellow Canuck) Check out retrogate or stoneagegamer and pickup a Turbo Everdrive. This will quickly and cheaply get you a full TG-16 and PCE library to play.  Then you can sit back, participate in the forum, get to know some of the veteran guys around here (which I am doing now, as I've been away from actively collecting for a number of year) .. and on occasion add to your collection.

My option of this forum when I joined 8 years back, is the same as recently when I just started frequenting it again. There are just a ton of great, passionate NEC-nuts in here. There is a ton of wonderful content here. But with the number of eBay gougers, and resellers .. people need to see your true colours before they are inclined to deal with you.

A number of these guys helped me out the other day, as I was trying to buy a bundle of TG-16 games off a seller on NintendoAge.  I asked in this forum as to the perceived value, and quickly saw that I'd be grossly over paying.  I was able to walk away, not support this latest trend of over charging for what is mostly common titles.  And with my Turbo Everdrive, I was able to still play these titles while I wait to be able to collect them either Complete in jewel case, or in box.

So welcome. If I do stumble across any bundles and end up with doubles I will keep you in mind. Right now my only double is R-Type 1 for PCE and I committed to giving that away in an upcoming raffle.

Thanks. I understand it takes time to build trust in a community, something I have learned with my 9+ years as a member in the shmups forums.  I was given great opportunities and deals on impossible-to-find games over the years at decent prices, and when the time came to get let a few go, I unloaded them back to the community, virtually not making a buck on anything. Most of my stuff stayed within Canada as well, oddly enough. Deep pockets in the West, it seems

The Everdrive you mentioned is certainly an interesting prospect, but for me nothing beats inserting the actual cart in the console, which is why I'm picking up a few rather common loose cards here and there. I'm not exactly ready to sink several thousands back into collecting games, as I have very little time to play these days. Having access to such a card would kind of be the best of 2 worlds, though, trying games on the hardware and then picking them up. When I'm done picking up my first round of hucards, I'll definitely look into it.

The TG16 has always been an oddity to me. For some reason it feels super exciting to discover these games I'd heard about but never really got to play in the past. I stayed up late a few nights in a row now, looking at what I could pick up. It almost troubles my sleep, which is a feeling I haven't experienced in a few years when it comes to gaming. Good times ahead, it seems!

I updates my first post - found Ninja Spirit, added Legendary Axe. Thanks, people.

For maximum fun i recommend parasol stars to be a must have.

I recommend a region mod so you can get and play cheapy PCE hueys.  I also recommend an introduction thread, but I guess it's too late for that.

Been a while. After a pair of shooters, hoping to enter a territory that's a little less hostile for me. I've been taking so much side-scrolling arcade abuse... I didn't remember Cadash being so punishing!
