It's over.

UH OH.  Resident tough guy WildoDildo sent me a PM saying that I'm HARASSING him.  Hey Dildo, in case you don't get the PM because I now have you on ignore, f*ck OFF AND DIE.

[mossman43]

Can't we cut this guy some slack, he offered more then a fair amount for the game. There is no reason to beat up on the guy just because he is a lurker, some people are not much for contributing and instead read and absorb.

What are you going to do, WildoDildo?  Stick a gat in someone's face again?  You should go back to lurking; it's better for all of us.

And LOL @ "I need it".  The fiscal irresponsibility demonstrated by today's youngin's is staggering.  Just because you have the ability to pay for something does not mean that you can "afford" it or should buy it.  And please trust me when I tell you that no one here is going to sell you that game.  First of all, get the f*ck in line.  Second, no one here is going to sell it to someone who just wants it for shelf-candy, especially when that person is some lurking poser who only collects Turbo shit to be incrementally cooler than their too-cool-for-school friends who think that they're being "different" for playing NES instead of modern games.

f*cking hipsters.  Only thing worse is a hipster with a high-limit credit card and an entry-level middle-class job,  which I'm sure is what Mr. Moneybags here has.

I'm older than you idiot. I've been playing TG-16 while you were learning to crawl.

A: You don't know how old I am.

B: If you have 5 grand burning a hole in your pocket, put it towards your mortgage.  Or put it in a mutual fund.  Or f*cking save it for an emergency.  I'm sorry guy, but anyone who is actively trying to spend $5000 on a video game is in no position to call anyone else's intelligence into question.  And if you knew absolutely DICK about this community, you would have known from the get-go that trying to buy that game here with your 40 posts in 5 1/2 years was a dead end.

My financial situation is great. I don't need tips from you, but thanks anyway. You know why I have the money to spend? Because I have no vices other than video games. I buy to play but even if the games suck, I keep them. I'm one game away for the complete us hucard collection and it happens to be the most expensive one. What do you want me to do to get it? You can stand in line....I'm going to buy it soon.

[Jibbajaba]

BBBBBZZZZZZTTTTTT.  Wrong.  If you were buying it to play it, you'd just stick with the Japanese version.  At least be honest with yourself about why you're buying it.  Firstly, to look at on the shelf, and secondly because you think you can flip it for more money in a few years.

[mossman43]

Which if I could, then it would be a good investment. Fortunately, I don't have to sell shit because I don't need the money. If something were to happen and it depended on the wellness of my family, then f*ck yes I would sell it. But it would be sold at a loss if need be as well. I just played the Japanese version because I got it in today. It's pretty good gameplay wise, but I can't obviously read any of it. Again, it's easy to sit here and talk shit, but if you actually knew me personally, you would respect the things I do. Don't pretend to know me bud, because you don't.

[Tatsujin]

It's pretty good gameplay wise, but I can't obviously read any of it.

again, your statement is most invalid..tell us where there is any need of reading anything in that game?

in the shop? just choose a random weapon and look what it does. or if you too dumb for that, use this screen:

[Jibbajaba]

That's fine, but again I'll say that you are on a fool's errand here.  As has already been stated, the Turbo market has gone crazy because people like you are willing to pay whatever because you "need" these games.  Just about all of us here maintain game libraries because we love old games, not because we collect them like stamps.  Because when they game becomes that valuable, it's no longer practical to spend the money when all you want to do is play it.  Especially when it's Japanese counterpart is so much cheaper.  Or you could just buy a Turbo Everdrive, which would allow you to play it (in English) while still having the Japanese version to fill the hole in your collection.  So anyone who is willing to spend $5k on a game is either:

A: Filthy Rich.
B: Incredibly irresponsible.
C: Speculating.

Unless you're "A", you aren't going to get much play here.  As has already been pointed out to you, we tend to resent people like you for the reason that I and others have already stated.  You would be better off taking your request somewhere like the Neo-Geo forums, or just wait until one pops up on eBay.

Thanks. Nope not dumb, just prefer the version that was released for me. I was able to use the shop, but still want to read any other text that might be in the game. I know you were trying to be an a$$hole, but it doesn't bother me, so thanks for your help good sir.

I can respect that. Turbo/PCE are my favorite consoles and I would truthfully rather be around here with the people that love the system as well . Sorry if my crazy offer offended anyone because that was not my intention in any way. f*ck the MC, I'll be around here for the posting of other shit, but I'll let this die.

Mister Moss,

I'm writing to you because I have been in your shoes. I know you meant no offense by your presence here or your enquiry as to the acquisition of the "white whale", if you will. For some reason, or no reason, you have found yourself in the cross hairs of many prominent individuals in this community. You didn't intend for this to happen, but you're no pushover so you're not going to let this go unchecked.

You are justified in your desire to defend your desire to possess Magical Chase. I envy your disposable income, and I'm certain you are something akin to a rocket surgeon. I am, too, but all of my millions were wrapped up in the development of the Magical Chaise. Perhaps you saw it a few posts up? It is still for sale.

Anyway, i just wanted to let you know that the very people who are attacking you are awesome guys. If you enjoy gaming more than collecting, you and they will get along. I enjoy both, but have the resources for neither (my time and trust were donated to aids research and time travel). The advice you are receiving, nay, being force fed... like it or not, is not going to change. A $5k complete magical chase is possible. But pursuing the hunt here will not be productive. I don't personally fault you for trying. This forum has its own set of social norms that don't exactly come intuitively to many (myself included).

Just stick around, obey, and find Magical Chase some other day. We will celebrate your fortune on that day, because we'll all be buds by then. Or not. Choose your own adventure, y via condios, amigo.

Sincerely,
null

edit: goddamn... I need to get faster at phone typing. You already posted like a bazillion nanoseconds ago...

Thank you very much, great advice and thanks for understanding what I was intending to do. I appreciate your words!

certainly didn't wan't to be an a$$hole here, just the your mentioned point of not understanding the even so little text in a pure shoot 'em up is beyond my understandings as a valid point. certainly not worth of paying like 30x more for a game that is already expensive in its original form imho. if it were an RPG e.g. it would be whole different rabbit hole for sure.

[mrhaboobi]

Well said You dont want to get on the wrong side of certain peoples on the forums, you will be instantly put on ignore ..  for what its worth though i think 5k is insane though.. it maybe the "market rate" ( ebay rate that is ) but man its a hard one to accept.  id never have owned the game myself if i didnt get lucky with my wife finding it for sale on Yahoo Japan of all places, and i kick myself now for turning down complete versions i saw on there at the same time for 250 USD not that many years ago.. 5k buys alot of stuff ( and yes im taking about the us versions, how they got to japan i dont know )

You might like to speak to an ex member called wmac, he too put up some large offers and eventually walked away with a sealed version for something like 5k, he collections seems to come and go quickly so maybe the right offer would see him sell his copy or he may know someone who knows someone who will part with the game..
