TG games in the wild?

[Black Tiger]

Really depends on how much you want to narrow it down. I've been looking through garage sales, secondhand shops, flea markets, etc since 1990. Not much I haven't found, but I've seen way more PC Engine stuff than Turbo.

The only time I have ever seen used TG-16 stuff for sale was when Phar-Mor went out of business and they sold off all of their rental games.

Rental stores...

I don't count my decent rental score, as, "wild". More similar to a canned hunt, of a non-sought after animal that had been overbred. I knew where it was, and I knew when it disappeared from the menu there. It was so far gone, they couldn't rent it, or sell it to the general public, yet didn't want to throw it all out. I pretty much put that TG-16 stuff out of it's misery in a more humane manner than the dumpster.


The site is no longer online, but I have a scan of a print-out from 2006, of a Video store salvage, that ended up from me, to one guy, who then sold it to Bullseye (Unless it was Bullseye).

This was one of the few instruction manuals worn out. Makes sense, it was Order of the Griffon;

Wow, time is passing. Just to sum up the above. When I sold that copy (The rental store had two of that title), I sold it as-is, pics represented, $0.00 starting auction. I forget what I sold it for in 03, 04 or so, but I had no negative feedback, somehow it ended up with the notorious Bullseye, who misrepresented it. I Found that posting,I think through this board, then laughed, because it originated from me. From TTI, to Video Nation, to MrFulci, to ..............

The last games I saw in the wild (at a local used game store) were a couple loose TV Sports something just before x-mas of last year.  I don't know how much they wanted for 'em and didn't ask.

C'mon, Nullity. I've been vacant for a while, but, if not familiar, long story short, he was a reseller on ebay, horrible 90% of the time, sold stuff like, "strategy guides", which were nothing much different than the pic of a printed sheet I just posted.


If you missed out, you missed nothing much. He was what makes not TG-16, or "retro" game selling/trading, just anything, horrible. He took advantage, not just out of little stuff, but made it his business. When you make your business, 90%, of scamming your customers, that's bad. Why not be legit, at LEAST, most of the time.

Only turbo stuff I've ever found in the "wild" (ie-thrift or garage sale) was a single Turbo Tap at the ARC.  That was like 2 years ago.  There were a couple retro stores around me with decent selection that slowly got picked over though.

[MrFulci]

I'm not gonna tear up your paint-shop-pro-shop much, Nullity, it's more like, f*ck pics, need a peg board for TG-16 in the wild, at a fair price.

Slinky, I got this contained!
