WTB/TF: Blackthorne 32x

[Arkhan]

I'm not paying 80 f*cking dollars for it.

I was thinking maybe 50$.


Why is it 80+ on eBay and Amazon.   What paint are they huffing now.

Haven't you heard? Video games are the next big investment. People are starting to sell off their soon to be worthless gold, silver, and platinum and buying up video games. Causing prices to skyrocket through the roof!

For real though.  I went to check & see how much a copy of Metal Warriors on the SNES was going for, and the cheapest BIN is $175 with a ratty label.

It's sucked for a long time, but now it's getting really f*cking ridiculous.

Anyway, best of luck on your search for Blackthorne.  Looks fun, but alas, I've not the money nor the interest to shell out for a copy.

[Arkhan]

Yeah I saw that too.   Someone went full-retard with prices.

Haven't you heard?  Anytime a game sells for say, $50, the next one HAS to be worth $70.

That made me sad


As a baseline, I bought my complete copy for about $50 maybe 2 years ago off fleabay.  Unfortunately I don't have any extra copies of that.

Blackthorne for the 32X has been expensive for a while now. I have it for both the SNES and 32x... and it sucks for both systems. Good luck finding a copy. It shouldn't be too hard since you aren't looking for a CIB copy.

Well if it sucks, why not get rid of it?

I owned the SNES version and I thought it was great. What about it sucks so bad? Game is a bit slow paced, but thats how its designed.

Also played the DOS version, which is definitely better though.

The pace of it bothered me the most. I foolishly was expecting more of a contra-like experience. I had a rude awakening when I popped that cart into my SNES. I'll give it another shot though.

[Arkhan]

So, you thought it sucked because it wasn't like Contra, which it wasn't designed to be like?

errrrrr....

Yeah, you should give it another shot.  Or, you should just sell it to me.

Ummm... I said my expectations was a game similar to Contra (Which was solely based upon it's cover art :p). The lack of living up to my expectations was not my problem with it though. As I stated before, it's slow pace equivalent to a snail in combination with the awkward controls made me come to the conclusion that it sucked.

Also I would suggest picking up the SNES version. The 32x version may be a lot more pleasing on the eye but not worth the $90 price tag. Plus you can find the SNES copy for $12-15.

It plays exactly like other similar games (Prince of Persia, Flashback, Out of this World).  It does an excellent job.

I don't want to buy the SNES one that I already have.

Since it's not worth the 90$ price tag, how about you sell me it for like, 40$.
