Ok I finally found the store in Sacramento (not sure if there are any Sac peeps on here):


Fair Game
8214 Fair Oaks Blvd
Carmichael, CA 95608
916-944-4263

Only had like 10 turbo titles and ALL were overpriced. But they have a very decent selection of NES, SNES and Genesis, something you don't really find locally anymore. They also had Sega Saturn and CD, but limited selection. There is another Fair Games in Sacramento, but this one (not too far from the other one) has more retro stuff.

How about some Nor-cal representation? From Bay Area to Sac? I found a place several years ago in Sacramento that had alot of retrogaming, and had Turbo stuff (but was priced pretty high). I totally lost the location / number and no idea if they still carry Turbo stuff. It was a small shop and had a ton of NES / SNES.

Use Goo Gone to get rid of GameDude's darn silver stickers.  It takes lots of elbow grease too, but it works fine.

I avoid going there except on July 4th & Black Friday, when they have 20% off all of their used games & accessories!

I live in the tide water area in Virginia and there are very few stores that have TurboGrafx games. If they do its Shitty sports games like tv sport or power golf

Nope.  Frappr was bought out by Platial and merged with their similar service, which has since been shuttered.

So great to see all these posts about places selling TG-16/CD stuff, and RECENTLY.

I tell ya, it seems like when the product was first available, there wasn't as much interest THEN as there is NOW (yes, our marketing dept., for most of the original run anyway, really sucked - sad, but true).

I swear I could have run the marketing dept. better when I was like 12 years old back then. In addition to that I'm pretty sure I could have made MUCH better decisions on what games to translate and bring to the US. SO many great Japanese games were overlooked for one reason or another.

Also, who the hell was in charge of cover art for the game boxes and manuals! Idiots! They should have just slapped English titles on the Japanese art and called it good, I am 100% convinced that a lot of people saw the box art for TG games and instantly went and bought a Genesis.

Game Craze in Buffalo, NY has a ton of PCE games...  but they are expensive.

I look like Wayne every time I go in there and look at the $80 Double Dragon II.

...PS, if anyone buys it now, I'll hunt you down!  It is part of my weekend ritual.

Oh man, of that I have no doubt.  We were constantly in battle with development about which games they were bringing over and what they chose not to, etc.  And the constant 'cleaning up' of games - stuff that wasn't even necessary - changing the mask in Splatterhouse from white to red so Paramount wouldn't sue them for copyright on 'Friday the 13th'... ridiculous.

We were also always on them about the box art too, which is why they FINALLY dropped that 'black border' around the edge of the game box (the early releases) and went to 'full box graphic display' (like Bonk's Adventure, etc.) because it looked SO much better.

This reminds me the good old day we had with Diehard Gamefan store..............

[Lilgrafx]

I don't Know If any one still post shops here but I recently went to DC to visit my brother and went to a shop called eStarland in Fair Fax Virginia. They had about 15 turbografx games most of which were mostly overprice. $41 for Military Madness! 

They also have a Website which seems to have a much larger Turbo stuff but still overpriced.....

Software Seconds used to be good when Mike ran the place.  It's kinda shady now.  I forget the guy who runs it now.  He's nice but when there's a shit ton of stuff that doesn't have a price on it and you ask you know he's just making up a number.  Most of the stuff in that store has been there since the late 90's minus the turbo stuff.  A couple years back he had a crap ton of Hu Cards but quite a few were over priced.  I remember that they had a price list in a binder for the Turbo games and of course they wanted $199 for Terraforming but also sold me Alien Soldier for MD for $15 bucks.    I was back there around xmas this past year and the price list was gone.  I asked him about it and he said he didn't remember having a price guide.  I also remember asking him how much he wanted for his World Heros AES cartridge.  He said he wasn't sure but it would be "up there" in price.  They are also on ebay under the same name and I saw the listed price of that AES World Heroes game.  It was fairly cheap, $35 I believe for the US version.  Now why would he list it cheap but in the store not give me a definite price and say it's "up there"  It's kind of a shady place now.  I used to get all my import stuff from them when I lived in Columbia.  Now I look else where.  They do have good feedback on ebay though.  Just know how much stuff is really worth before going into that store.  You could get a great price or over pay.
