Ginga Fukai densetsu sapphire...........What are your thoughts?

[PunkicCyborg]

Sapphire is really the only cd game you gotta worry about bootlegs. But honestly did you really think you were getting a real one for so cheap? real copies go for hundreds

There would be no point in making bootlegs of Spriggan or Gate of Thunder. They are readily available and cheapish here in Japan.

With regards to Sapphire, Punkic Cyborg is correct, you will most likely need to spend hundreds if you want a real one.

I'll bootleg your Spriggan.

Well he thought he was buying a second printing. I didn't know much about the super niche part of the PCE/TG16 world till I joined here. So I can see that being a total N00b mistake to make. Hell I was lucky enough to find out about it. Otherwise I would be the owner of megaman and Sapphire on the PCE by now.

If you are in Japan, then i would love for you to find me a few games.....I found some imports here in Chicago at a game store that I go to and the owner is just ridiculous in price.... 90$ for Terraforming japanese version is just ridiculous.

Anyway...sigh

Dude, check the forums here first and foremost. There are some great sellers as well as individuals that put up stuff all the time. A simple WTB (Want to buy)  thread in the right place will net you honest/fair prices for all systems. Specially our beloved Obey.  Go off site when you've exhausted your options here and even there start with a proxy service. Which if you don't know what that is, I am sure a quick site search will turn something up.

Happy hunting.

Great taste

Pardon my ignorance, I long lacked (and still do, in fact) a PC Engine Duo, but I remember Breetai (RIP Blake) mentioning that the bootleg was pressed (and thus high quality). I also think I remember someone mentioning that quite a few members here got a copy. Is a pressed boot of this still going around? Is it still cheaply available? Is there a noticeable difference in quality? This was the last thread that mentioned it, and it's only a few months ago, so please point me in a different direction if it's already been discussed, but I am still interested in obtaining a copy.

No known booties of those two, go ahead

It was People Play Games, wasn't it?  Their prices were dumb last time I was there.

Mine goes around and around every time I slip it in the Duo. 

Fellow member BlueBMW acquired and distributed hundreds of 'em, but that was quite a while ago; they still pop up every now and again but not regularly.  There's no difference in quality from a gameplay stand point, but there's a noticeable difference in print quality of the disc label (some worse than others), and the ones he had were disc only.  There's also complete booties floating around and still available new (not cheap), which look good at first glance but are noticeably of lesser print quality when you look closely.
