It's over.

I'm not defending anyone. I don't even know that guy. And even though this is some old post or whatever I still feel like what I said applies to some new members and should be taken into consideration by some of the members here. People should treat people the way they would want to be treated and not say anything they wouldn't say to their face at all.

And who cares if I posted on the neo forums? Im a long time member there. I own valuable items of equal rarity of magical chase and dynastic hero. Do you own Samurai Showdown V Special or a dedicated Neo Geo Arcade Cabinet to trade to a neo geo member? Is there a rule here that we can't look elsewhere for rare titles? What about eBay? Do I need permission here to bid on EBay? What about in the wild? If I find Dynastic Hero in the wild must I get an OK from members here before purchasing?

when did anyone say you need permission to post up on another forum. I simply said you defended OP because you to want MC as well.  I find it funny.

Maybe he hasn't posted here over the years much for the same reason I haven't. Because whenever he did post he was bombarded by rude comments and people who try and make you feel stupid. I'm a member of pretty much every popular video game forum out there. And this forum is by far the least welcoming of the bunch. Not very homely here till you are accepted.

This forum may feel that way, but it's also largely unmoderated and people say what they want.
Places like NG and NA are heavily moderated so everybody better hold hands and give each other facials over RAREZ and VGA GRADES or you get the boot.  Communist sites make Steve McTableChair angry.

I got a mint complete one coming! Thanks to the person that PM'ed me because he didn't want any of the other members to give him shit! Cheaper than I offered too!!

[Bernie]

Damn I wish it were me..    Then I could get some of the goodies for the system I want.  Glad you found one man, just open that biatch and play it though!!! 

[mossman43]

Thank you! It's not sealed, just complete.

Congrats! Don't forget to post pics here of the game once you get it!

I hope so Galem. I was thinking the other day how awesome it would be to try and get a Columbus Ohio TurboCamp meetup in the works like we do on the neo forums. Sometimes they can be a lot of fun. Just a bunch of dudes, a pc engine, a duo tap and some serious gaming and competition. We had epic Magical Drop and Last Blade matches in Neo meetups in the past. Some dungeon explorer 2 arena action would be awesome cause I have no Idea what it is.

You're welcome, mossman. Every one else, i still have plenty available,  pm me if you want one.

Sweet, I could really use one of those for my Magical Ches:

A group of us gets together usually twice a year in the Chicago area for the Video Game Summit in July and Octurbofest in... well.. October.

People should treat people the way they would want to be treated and not say anything they wouldn't say to their face at all.

If I spent 5000$ on one mediocre game, I would want people to call me a f*cktard until I understand.

Also, if I saw someone pay 5000$ in person for Magical Chase, I'd tell them they're a f*cking moron.   Guaranteed.    I'd point and laugh until they feel bad about it and wish they hadn't done it.  That way, maybe next time, they'll think a bit before they go HGNGNFDGNFD TAKE MY MONEY I NEED GAME.

Someone was asking 1200$ for a sealed Chrono Trigger at a game convention up here in Cleveland, and I laughed at him and called him a "f*cking dumbdick", right to his face and pointed and laughed at him when the convention was wrapping up and he was putting it back in his bin to take home because nobody was dumb enough to buy it.


I don't get this thing on the internet where people who are getting flamed assume the people doing it wouldn't do it to their face.   I guarantee you basically everyone here would call someone stupid in person if this stuff was going on in front of them.    This forum is full of the most genuine people on any forum I've ever gone to.   What you see on here is what you get in person.  For the most part.



The point is, some people suck at money and do dumb shit with it just because they can.  They think OH ITS MINE I'M ENTITLED TO DO WHAT I WANT WITH IT.

...and they never stop to realize they are furthering the problem, because they're self centered.   It's irresponsible.  It's disrespectful.   It literally ruins the hobby for tons of people because it causes all the prices to go up, which makes the entry price go up, which drives new people away. 

also, I make enough that I could buy a Magical Chase for 5000$, no problem. 

Doesn't mean I'm going to, because holyshit.  5000$ for one game is the definition of dumb.



as for what Haboobi said, it depends what a person is selling.   If you show up here with some srs as f*ck one of a kind items, or ACTUALLY hard to find/valuable items, I'd be ok with the expected prices that will be obnoxious.   If you want collector/ebay prices for stuff anyone could go find, I'd be sure to point out that the prices suck, and would haggle.  Assuming they have something I want.   If they are adamant about shit prices, even after the advice of many, you can expect me to tell that person they're a dumbass.

The fact that Magical Chase costs more than the Develo books + Box + an MSX to run it all on, AND a PC Engine Duo to go with all of it, proves that people are complete idiots and don't understand what they are doing.

and if you don't like being called an idiot, stop being an idiot.

It's pretty simple. 


EDIT: Also.

This.    This is what you cunts with no self control are doing to gaming.   Even the Japanese are becoming hip to the fact that round eye is a f*ckhead and will pay just about anything for a shiny game that isn't worth dick.

Soon, we will have nowhere to find games at reasonable prices, and it will be all of you that get the blame.

I own valuable items of equal rarity of magical chase and dynastic hero.

So? What's with the dick waving? It is not about what you got its how you use it

I used to think mc was expensive when I saw it for 250, I swore I wouldnt/couldn't spent that money on a single game,  I'd jump on one for 250 now.  I remember I paid 60 for the magical chase manual, at the time i was going to turn it down, seemed stupid to spend 60 on a manual, wtf is wrong with me spending that, now I'd pay that to get one in the condition I'd like.   In another few years I hate to think what mc will cost.  I guess what I don't understand is if people think mc isn't a good game, then do you really care what it sells for, if just one game in a collection was as expensive as mc, but is a shitty game, then does it matter?  Or is it just that its shitty due to the price . 

The problem I have is other games going up in price, so if the price increases were just around mc then really it's just going to impact the collector who wants a complete set, not the player who wants to play the good games.  I'd take rtype or tonma game play wise over mc any day of the week.

People who don't think its good and do want it, want it for one of two reasons.

1. To complete a English collection.
2. Because some people just want anything rare.

Both of which in my opinion are not good reasons. I hate when people say " I want that game, it's just so rare." Games are meant to be played not displayed. That's why I hate sealed collecting and VGA grading bull $h1t.

As far as rare Turbografx games and prices are concerned, it's not going to get better. People can complain about people raising prices with impulse eBay purchases, but it is the destiny of the games to climb in value, at least as long as there is working hardware to enjoy it. And with the rapid progression of clone consoles this may not be in our lifetime. We are having this exact discussion over at Digitpress, and its not just Magical Chase and Dynastic Hero. Its all rare or good games, specifically RPG's and SHMUPS. Many games have doubled up to 5X. Panzer Dragon Saga, Hagane, Earthbound, Shining Force CD, Keio Flying Squadron, and pretty much every Neo Geo AES & MVS title. Video games are following the same paths as all collectable items. Comics, baseball cards, vinyl records, coins, etch

If MC or Dynastic Hero raise in price so what. Because unlike all those SNES common RPG squaresoft titles and Earthbound, at least they are genuinely rare titles. If any games deserve to be insanely priced it's these 2 games. Actual rare games commanding high prices is not annoying, its expected as is any rare collectible item. Things could be much worse, try collecting Beatles records on vinyl, or 1950'svand earlier baseball cards. What is annoying are effing Nintendo fan boys driving up extra common good games like Chrono Trigger, every Final Fantasy, and Earthbound.

These are dark days for getting into game collecting. Especially with the economy. Would you rather spend 20 bucks at the movies for 2.5 hours? Or invest $50.00 in a rare retro game worth unlimited hours of enjoyment? People want the most cost effective bang for their buck and reliving your childhood is the perfect way to do so. But once you get a taste of retro gaming you always look for that next fix. That's when people tend to get out of hand and start spending crazy amounts.
