Sinistron CD / Hucard
« on: November 03, 2016, 10:28:48 AM »
Okay so I'm starting to think the CD version of Sinistron is much rarer than the hucard. Is that accurate?
Also, whats the value of Sinistron CD CIB?

CD version goes for $69 if it has the slip cover.

It's one of those games tgat there isn't a fair price for, because of how rarely it's seen on eBay or other places.

For what it's worth, the last CIB copy on eBay sold for around $800. The PC Engine version may also be rare, but goes for about $150 and has infinitely better artwork and superior stage order and enemy placement.

no joke, BT hit it right on.  it's one of the very rare situations where the USA version actually has superior music than the PCE one.  hence the price difference.  people like to know that good music is sitting on the shelf.

The  stage where you have to disguise your ship as a geisha and fly through a high school was my favourite.  Completely eliminated from the NA release.

Rare as it is, it's nowhere near the value of the Violent Soldier Special huey.  :roll:



Seriously, what the f*ck is wrong with some new guys?  Are they easily confused, misled by youtube know-nothings, or just straight up trolls?

Lol. Sorry I have no idea why I thought I had a CD version all this time.

How much does a CIB go for though? It sold for 800? Yikes.

Comrade, although I like Sinistron/Violent Soldier, I would recommend you play it via emulation before shelling out $$$, because I just choke and die on the asteroid stage 8/10 times (and I am good at shootemups).

I should go to a therapist and find out why I have such a psychological issue with the damn asteroids. Trauma from my youth? Horrible strategy?

Sad, but true.

There's an ebay gouger sitting on an unsold CIB copy for $225 right now, so $800 was a definite screw job.
