FREE PC-98 games
« on: July 09, 2012, 02:00:11 AM »


I'm giving this a day before I bin them, but if you want all/any of them, just pay me shipping.  Warning; I'm in the UK, and they're actually quite heavy for some reason.  I reckon the whole box weighs about 10kg, maybe more

Oh man, I sort of want this.

I don't have a PC-98, don't know if I'll ever be able to get my hands on one (I have emulators tho') but man, those boxes.

If you just want the boxes, that might make it lighter.

:P Empty boxes are rather useless tho'
I just have this weird fascination with Japanese computers and their games.

Nice! Thanks for the offer but I'm not big on flight sims or wing commander.  Plus I'm broke atm anyways.  :cry:

Royal Mail's price tool said 10kg would cost £55.49 + VAT by Parcel force.

Looks like I might have to pass this up.

But binning them would be a waste : |

Agreed.  Surely there's some local gaming nerds that'd take it.

Do you have any more pictures by the way? Just seeing a few of them makes me curious.
I'd maybe be willing to buy 1 or 2 from you for the pc-98 that I will get someday

Also, try other forums such as Shmups System 11 and the like. They sell a little bit of everything on the trading board - Saw a FM Towns Marty there some time back and a few Sharp X68K games so this might fit in there as well.

Would shipping by slow boat drop the price for shipping to a more tolerable rate to the US? A relative of mine has a PC98 and will likely be interested in them.

ughh..  I actually don't want to go through the hassle of joining other forums for this stuff, so if someone wants to be nice, then you can tell them if you have an account.  But at the moment, I just have a box of crap in the middle of my room, along with a bunch of my ex's stuff, so... real estate is more important than some video games that no-one loves.  Here's a video of the stuff, it's a bit crappy:

Wow. No offense, but that sure is a boring-ass box of games. Reminds me of the junk box of PC-98 games I didn't want that I sold off last time I moved. (doubles and other titles I had no interest in which I had acquired through buying auction lots)
...actually, I take that back. My junk box was much better than this one. :)

If you just want the boxes, that might make it lighter.

I'm just gonna pretend I didn't read this. No retro game, no matter how crappy, deserves to be defiled (AVGN, I'm looking at you) or separated from its original packaging. There could be someone out there who likes collecting old flight sims and crap like that for PC-98. You never know.
