Should I buy Magical Chase loose for $85 or just get a $45 flash card.

[ProfessorProfessorson]

I say do what feels right. Go with your gut.

[seieienbu]

I don't keep up with Japanese prices that much, but isn't it a much cheaper game over there...?

[Keith Courage]

Yeah but unfortunately its price has gone up due to the rarity of the U.S. version.

Buy the loose mc id say beside you can all ways buy a flashcard later on.

84 Loose? I wouldn't pay for that. I recently passed up a lot that had like 15 or so games (one of them Magical Chase - cib), with some PC Engine and accessories. For about a little over $139. I considered buying it just for the game and making up the difference by selling the other items off, but I didn't want the work. :-) I say, hold out for a better deal or at least a similar deal where it is cib.

*smh*

I'd buy the loose MC Bernie.  You can always sell it later.  Then I'd save up for the Everdrive.

[MotherGunner]

You mean Keith?  =)

Buy Magical Chase .. It will probably be even more expensive to buy later .. I recently played the game and I'll have to admit it's a pretty damn good game .. 85 bucks is kinda high but if you just go for it I'm sure at the end you'll be happy that you did .. Imo It's definitely a must have in a Pce collection .. Now I totally don't think it's worth the value of what it sells for complete but to each his own .. You can always just buy a flash card later .. I SAY MAGICAL CHASE ALL THE WAY !!!

Post your opinions. What would you do?

I went the limited RAM flash cart route. I had a Tototek offered with a bundle and figured it is worth it JUST for running MC at a con. Since I do not bring every HuCard to game rooms, it works fine to dump 5-6 games (rares mostly) but still bring some regular cards to run. I have a media box next to my console setup, so it's easy to dump a game right quick if I wanted to change what is on the flash cart.

MC is not worth the current price for me, and I'm not a gotta-catch-them-all collector.

The irony is that with the flash cart, you have caught them all.

I really love Magical Chase, but as I'm not a collector, just a game player, I couldn't personally justify the cost of owning a legit copy. That said, I'm not going to look down on those who can justify it. There's room for all kinds.

[shubibiman]

I'd never spend 85$ on a loose game, whatever it is called.

So you gonna steal a copy to be able to play it?
Or you don't gonna play it at all?

I'd rather spend $85 on a good loose 16-bit cart than a brand new current gen game.

Word x1000

Especially when knowing, that the purchase you made, probably won't become a drop down to a 5 buck game after just a few month.

[shubibiman]

I'd rather spend 85$ on a good complete 16-bit cart than on a loose one. Who said I'd spend 85$ on a current gen game?
