Last sealed Turbo Grafx game, or hardware, you opened

[MrFulci]

I was thinking about this, due to the homebrew game Arkhan is putting out there.


For me, the last sealed game I opened, for the Turbo Grafx 16, was Super Star Soldier, in 2006 or 2007 or so.

I already had one, but someone I had been dealing with before, I knew had some sealed games. I was seeing what stock he had left, and asked about SSS, we agreed on $50. I opened it when it arrived, then sold off my more worn copy. I forget what was awkward about that one, the box may have been sunbleached, or crushed. Maybe the instructions were well-worn?

I know, "Collectard" is a thing around here now, but back then, I did stuff like that on occasion Things would even out, or I'd just end up spending an extra $10-$20 or so after I sold the other copy. Plus I liked opening the sealed SSS, because even back then, it wasn't too easy to come by. I think most would have left it sealed, so I at least saved that copy from entombment in shrink-wrap for who knows how long.

For me, it was either Bravoman or Somer Assault. I got them from TZD.

I won an auction prob 2 years ago for 15 sealed TG games. They were all orange label games and i opened them all right away. So, 2 years ago. I think cratermaze might have been the last one.

Last one for me was Pyramid Plunder I think.  Non-indie was Monster Lair.

I don't remember, neither do I think anyone would care.

I don't remember, neither do I think anyone would care.

Ditto, it was many many many moons ago.

People care. I'm actually interested, why I made the thread.

Though I am guilty of having a few sealed games still around. Few, as in 5 or so. Nothing worth much, I paid something like $10 a piece for them, and until I got back on this board recently, I kinda forgot I still had them.

The pack-in with my Duo (Splatterhouse) is still sealed. I figure that's part of the system package when I got it from TZD, so, might as well keep it that way, inside the Duo's box. I had no reason to open it years ago, since I already owned it, and anyone else looking for a trade already had it, so it never got traded so it's sat in there for about 20 years. That was actually TZDs advice at the time, to trade it, I think I asked if I could exchange for another game or two.

Implode and Revival Chase. Never opened a brand new Turbo. Have also opened a brand new copy of Honey On The Road. :3

[TR0N]

Quite a few years ago when i bought a sealed copy of prince of persia.

[tpivette]

Cadash way back in 1991

[wildfruit]

I got a sealed copy of energy last year

[MrFulci]

Someone mentioned indie games here. For me that was Meteor Blaster. I wasn't around when Mysterious Song got released, I remember it being developed for a long time, and finally being released when I was taking a break from this board, and console games in general.

Sidearms a few months ago.

I opened a sealed Prince of Persia a couple days ago, and a sealed Exile back in the spring. Like you, I just slit the top of the shrinkwrap on the exile box so I could keep it with the wrap.

Lords of Thunder.  Actually, I'm not sure if it's open or not but I bought it sealed in like 2010 or so for $30.  I am planning to play through it one of these days, I swear! (15 year old me would have already done it) I also got an YS IV around that time also.
