"PCEWorks" finally bootlegs Magical Chase

[ClodBuster]

I know both Tobias William Reich's adress and phone number, acquired through the Denic's Whois entry of hazard-city.de, and https://www.dastelefonbuch.de/Suche/Reich/M%C3%BCnchen . This is freely available information to anybody.

If anybody has trouble to get this information by himself, e.g. for fans sending him love letters for the love of it, please let me know via PM. I won't post the adress, though, unless Necro and others are OK with it.

I like the analogy of repros to VHS copies lol
Clearly for me repros are a waste of space, can't see the point at all :s
One way to dent pceworks sales would be to get the exclusive stuff he sells into the public domain;
SUPER REAL MAHJONG PII-III CUSTOM SPECIAL, twinbee returns et al

[Gredler]

I love the everdrives, being able to play all these "rare games" I can't afford, but also own a couple repros.

A SD2Snes is like over 100$ and could buy a repro of terrenigma, a game not released in my region, for ~$25 at a trade show. I picked it up figuring I could play the game and be on my way for a cheap solution without the ultra fake feel of emulation.

Repros can be cool, when affordable options to excessively prices games. Repros as collectors items though. That's madness, I agree.

[gojira1954]

Fair enough, for games you can't get to work on an everdrive I get it, I've converted sfc carts into us Mario rpg and starfox 2...
But I didn't buy or sell them, hacking the carts was more fun than playing the game for me :s
Selling copyrighted works in deliberately appealing to f*ckwits packaging is not something I would support, fun to point and laugh tho

[geise]

He's gonna keep makin em, people are gonna keep buying/flipping/reviewing them

Why get salty over it anymore, it's not gonna make a f*ckin lick O' difference.

People are getting salty since actual forum members here are physically supporting him. Adding fuel to the fire as Arkhan put it.  If people would leave this a$$hole and all his pceworks shit alone he can move onto f*cking some other scene instead.

Doesn't bother me until you make a Magical Chase bundle  with energy drinks and stickers for like $200

[Necromancer]

I'm not gonna lie, I still want a mahjong panty box set. 

[Opethian]

necro they don't make it in your size so stop hoping

[GohanX]

He doesn't want to wear them, he wants to sniff them.

He wants to take in the aroma of Tobias. All of it.

[jperryss]

Lol!

I've always wondered if Tobias puts on each pair and does some jumping jacks or jogs a bit to properly scrot 'em up.

I know I teabagged the hell out of some hueys that turbozonedirect1 won for his ebay flipping biz. I kinda hope turbokon did the same with the repros Tobias bought... though he may have gotten raw with that many cards to rub on.

Ass hueys?

Everything Arkhan said.

I don't envy people who want to find legitimately rare PC-Engine titles these days. Before when you wanted legit copies of "The TV Show" or "Bazaru de Gozaru", it would take a while for them to appear, but when they did they were authentic. Now markets are flooded with semi-honest (?) listings that say their copies are the new 2016 pressings from Germany, or just outright false with no warning at all (except for the expert collector who can spot them).

For example, this guy selling "The TV Show" sealed. But don't worry! It's not hand made! It's a 100% custom designed one from 2016, made in Germany. At 100%+ markup to boot! :/

I think most of the old timers here already have these rare titles, but for the new guy getting into the PC-Engine, it's probably going to be a rough ride (Especially with speculators driving the price up for all things retro game).

[SignOfZeta]

Before all this bullshit nobody went looking for those games. PCE fandom was minimal when they were released and they probably had trouble selling what they had. Now there are 70 million gaijin complaining about how expensive it is to own every single goddamn game on the system as if that's something expected of them.

[Punch]

I'm still confused about how on earth Tobias gets to print all those obvious bootlegs in f*cking Germany of all places. I talked with some local disc presses and they make you prove you have the rights granted for the data + every single music track. Is he forging documents or did he just find a shady factory for his discs?

about teh rar3z: Who the hell wants to genuinely play "The TV Show" so bad? That's right: no one. And that goes for a lot of tobias'd titles, from the good games (I still haven't found anyone except for me who claimed to try to get into Might and Magic III, let alone beat it) to the absolutely useless ones that only get a "reprint" because of r4r1ty hype (everyone was just DYING to play this particular PCE mahjong game, yeah right). Any "true collector" ( ) that legitimately wants those titles isn't going to settle for a bootleg anyway.

[Black Tiger]

He faked a document from Hudson Soft of Japan, so he could be faking more, but he's probably using the company in Switzerland because they don't care.
