online place to buy tg16 games
« on: April 05, 2015, 05:14:41 AM »
I was wondering where you can find TG16 games at a decent price online?  Ebay is rediculous price in my opinion, granted I don't know how much a game is for the system since I am new to it.  I just want a few shooter games to tide me over til I can get an everdrive.

PC Engine system + several shooters is cheaper than several TurboGrafx-16 shooters.

Turbo stuff is for collecting, not for people looking for deals.

With that said, I don't know what you consider rediculously expensive, since you can buy Turbo shooters on eBay right now for $20 - $30.

Are there specific games you are looking for?

To me, 30 is a lot of money for a shooter, especially when the everdrive is 80.  I just wish there was a place where the everdrive was sold with a case on it.  i see stoneage gamer has one, but I don't need case and all that other crap that makes it double the price.  I just want the cartridge with some protection for the pieces that make it work.

If you don't use the forum as just a marketplace you may find yourself eligible for some 'community' prices.

i would try gametz.com? but if you're hoping to get some good shooters for the system, you might have to pay up a little for the good ones. i would just save up for an ever drive

Independent online shops with decent prices were slowly discovered and cleaned out of Turbo goods last decade. Being a resourceful Turbo shopper was fun and rewarding. Now the deals go to whichever brainless loser logs the most hours refreshing their newly-listed search on Ebay.

There are still a couple of domestic shops that sell commons on the low side of average. Japangamestock occasionally has a PCE game for less than the going rate. Once in a while a minor deal shows up on Amazon, Estarland, or Half and sits for a couple days before someone grabs it.

I bought one or two from here in the past.

Your best bet is the turbo everdrive if you think 20 or 30 is a lot for a game. For the turbografx, 20 or 30 is cheap  :-"

ugh... i can't stand lukie games... lists everything as COMPLETE and shows a stock photo of the box, but often times it is just a loose hucard he's selling.  His prices aren't so hot, either.


Seconded.  His prices suck & his shit's almost always loose.

I think I just bought a real common game off of the site. I agree that the prices aren't too great. I stick to ebay and amazon mostly when looking for games.

When you click on a game, it does say either game only or case instructions and game. Prices aren't the best though.

Keep your eyes peeled til you get lucky. I managed to get a lot of about 8 games a couple of years ago for £10 and that included parasol stars and legendary axe 2 so well worth it. That was on eBay.
