Who just picked up the $70 BIN Legend of Hero Tonma on ebay? Hope it was someone here!

That seller sold three copies (twice at $70 and the latest at $150)...... something fishy is going on.

he already got a neg feedback on the first one he "sold".  feedback reads "Bought item shortly after it was listed, seller said they lost it, issued refund"  Lost my *ss.  Seller's remorse or misplaced decimal point on listing are my guesses, but I have no idea about the other 2 he "sold"

Well, the seller says he shipped a game I purchased (not Tonma) with a tracking number.  I'll see if I have something to share for December, or a buyer protection claim.

Mine was no deal, I paid fair market.

I feel for the buyer that lost out on the first auction for Tonma.  Reminds me of a great auction I won in the past, only to have the seller say 'they tested it during a thunderstorm, lightening hit, and the machine and game smoked.'  Yea right.  I'm with Necro, real pessimistic that Tonma was the instant ebay troll find of the year.

And ghost manor is at $70?  WTF.

Sadly, that's about average for Ghost Manor on eBay.

At least it still has the manual, which (I have learned) is uncommon for the later releases with cardboard boxes and plastic trays.  I hope reproductions of the front covers of these 21 releases become available to the community someday as an inexpensive lot.  The demand is certainly there; at least right now we have pdf copies of some of the manuals to reprint.

Is there a list of these games somewhere? I am still mostly a TG16 noob and am unsure what the actual packaging difference is on these 21 releases.

(I did google and check for a pinned faq thread before asking!  )

Awesome thank you ifkz! I had read something like this but then saw some of these games in jewel cases on ebay. Now I notice none of them have end labels, meaning it is just some random case.

Ha! I figured the google search woudl have brought up any threads here but clearly not. Thanks to you too Necro!

Ghost Manor is basically "Turbo Wizards & Warriors". Just like the NES game, you have to learn how it works and not play it like it's some other stereotypical game. Like too many games, it gets a bad rap for things that popular "classic" games do. But because it's not published by the right company for the right console, it gets dismissed as garbage while games with similar issues continue to be worshipped as "legendary".

Protip: the best tutorial for Ghost Manor is clearing the first stage of Wizards & Warriors.

This is what changed my view of the game and made me want to get it a few years ago.



You also changed my mind about Night Creatures, which I had initially condemned as "broken"

Well I just got a Quickshot Python 4 for the TG. Jumped on it largely just because I didn't know it existed until I saw it and the aftermarket controller scene for TG is so bare. Not much I can actually use it for I know where it's better than the pad, though I could see using it on Galaga and a few others.

Was 25$ for it and Falcon 2.0 together. Made me smile to think someone had this as a pair from childhood as a flight simulator.

[Necromancer]

Heh, I snagged one of those quickshots back in the day because it was only $5 new, and I still feel ripped off. 

Falcon 2.0?  Must be a rarez dev cart.
