It's over.

OP seems like a decent enough fellow, so if getting the game makes him happy, then good for him.  I personally don't get the need to buy a $5k game that you can just play on original hardware using a flash cart, nor do I get the need to have a "complete" collection of anything.  Now that the Turbo Everdrive is a thing, I really don't give a rip how much HuCards cost because I'm done buying them unless a good deal comes along (I already have a nice-sized library of games).  The bummer for me is the CD games like Dungeon Explorer II and Dynastic Hero, because I prefer not to play burns. 

I hear ya. Im at the same point right now. Im about to get a mega everdrive, and plan on getting ever drives for every cart based system i have. I will only get the carts if i see a good deal. I already have enough games in my collection. This will also allow me to focus on buying psone,sat,and CD based turbo games

MC is like 23 windows busses. guys want them, cause others do too. has nothing to do with function. vw busses were shit when new, and are not worth the 100k they ask and get for them. i decided long ago, that 5-10 k was stupid for a VW, its still just a VW piece of shit.

PC Cocoron is a different story.   Especially because if anyone here bought it, it would quickly turn into a boot project so everyone can have the goddamn game instead of one a$$hole that won't give it up.

Not only that, but I am also under the impression that it's incomplete. There is enough combined talent in the PCE homebrew scene to complete what's missing. I wouldn't call Yuko an a$$hole, just your typical art collector who refuses to share with the world. Although it's his right to do this... just like in the art world, holding a piece from the rest of the world is the surest possible way to allow it to be lost in time.

Nebulously I'd be happy to own Magical Chase.  I've played the rom a bit and it seems okay.  I wouldn't rate it as high as I would, say, Blazing Lazers, but I'd be happy to run through it a few times on a real console.  I think if it was a common game that would likely be the overwhelming sentiment.  It's pretty fun, it's got a really nice look to it, and it's interesting enough for a playthrough every so often.

 typical art collector who refuses to share with the world = a$$hole.

the graphical upgrade is also not really that important, all things considered. 

It's also a like, 45 minute game.  It's hardly even worth the JP pricetag anymore. 


You get dumb looking bridges and a better looking castle instead of out of place tetris blocks and a rape-barn in the background.   Whoopeeedooooo, lol.


Just get the JP one and put it in a USA box from Sparky.   Done.  Nobody will know!

Hmm yess. Hmm yess. *claps*

If it bothers you that much to own the JP over US....

Make a tiny, little "TurboGrafx-16" logo sticker and place it upon the JP HuCard... Hmm..? lol

$5000 I would pay only on a copy of Battle Lode Runner US or Cocoron.

Do any of you think this Magical Chase rarity nonsense would be happening if Magical Chase wasn't the last game put out for the TG-16?  Imagine it was Deep Blue or some other shitty game.  Deep Blue is now the last game ever put out for the TG-16.  No way is anyone buying that turd of a game for $5K.  No way does it become the "holy grail" for US collectors.

MC is a decent game.  It's colourful, it's fun.  It is not worth the price.  Hell I don't know if it was worth the original price back in the 90's.

Please someone sell me Deep Blue for $5000! I need it, I mean I REALLY NEED IT. I CANT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A CIB COPY OF US DEEP BLUE.
