WTB Sealed CD games
« on: September 08, 2013, 11:55:36 AM »
Hi,
Been a fan my since I got my first TG-16 as a kid and always had great love for the Duo. About 12 yrs ago someone stoled all my games I had packed away and I really want to get my collection back. I'm really interested in getting all the Cd games sealed.

If anyone has any New sealed Cd games and would like to sell them, I would love the help to build my collection back.

Thanks!

Yeah, the shrinkwrap on my Turbo games has something special about it that the shrinkwrap on my Genesis games just can't compare to.

Welcome,

Please go ahead and introduce yourself. What is your favorite turbo game?  In your opinion what makes the PC engine the sexiest video game box? In my experience If Make a few friends here, and you'll have access to more games than you can buy just by asking. but showing up asking for sealed games makes you seem like someone who doesn't care for the beloved system. hope this isn't the case.



And just to keep the karma flowing alright here:
If anyone has sealed CD games that they want me to open and play you know where to find me!  I'll make sweet opening videos and then raffle it off :)
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Let's not jump to conclusions.  He said he loved the games as a kid.  Maybe he was never allowed to open them originally and this is genuine nostalgia.

Also, how come so many people had their whole collection stolen?  Seems like 1 in 3 introductions include the theft tale.

Can you explain how you "love" the games, but want them all sealed?  How are you going to play them?

Not trying to troll.  I'm honestly trying to understand the motivation of sealed collectors.

I bought a sealed copy of John Madden Duo CD football recently.  Then I opened it and played it.  Got a sealed Sega Saturn game on its way to me right now.  Gonna open that as soon as it gets here as well.  Don't get me wrong; sealed games are great because everything is fresh and minty.  But you only get to enjoy that if you unseal it.

Exactly.
I also bought a sealed madden, opened it, checked out the poster, and I HAVEN'T even played it yet. (Damn Yo Bro monopolizing all my gaming time).

My name is Kevin im 35 years old and I've always been a rpg fan so Comic Fantasy 2 was always one of my favorite games on the Duo along with the Ys games.
The reason im looking for sealed games is just for collection purposes for my man cave. I do have copys of the games I had that play in the Duo so theres no need to open them.

The TG16/Duo plays burned CDRs. The Turbo Everdrive plays all but two games (I think) in the entire PCE/TG16 library. We don't need original media to play the games, at all. Yet, some people want every hucard. Others want every game, complete in case; some here want every game, complete in case and original box. You can't "play" with the case or cardboard box. So, there has to be something beyond "just playing the game." It is collectability. Sealed games are just for another level of collector.

I don't care for sealed games, but I don't think people should malign others for what they value. If it makes someone happy to have an original, sealed, untouched copy of a game, and are willing to pay for that privilege, I don't see a problem there. Life is too short to spend too much time worrying about what makes other people happy, and getting angry over it.

If you have a copy of sealed game for him, great, if not, why not just move on and leave him alone?
Hey, you.

I think we were genuinely curious why he was looking for sealed specifically.
Jibs said he wasnt trolling, clash was clear he wasnt jumping to conclusions, and i just simply asked why.

I know you have had a tough go of it around here, but not every thread is an attack

eBay is the best place to find sealed games for collecting. Game fan forums like this have too many people who are reluctant to sell games to people who intend to keep someone else from having a chance to play a game.

Every game I ever bought "sealed" I opened.  Whether it was Power Golf, or Kaze Kiri Ninja Action.
