THE CROWN JEWELS IN YOUR COLLECTION?

[Michael Helgeson]

but for the most part doesn't cut it.  Surely there must be a few that you're at least a smidgen prouder to own... no? 

I wish I could say that,but its hard to do so. I tend to look at it like this. I'm typically proud of everything I own,and only keep what I intend to play,or enjoy playing. I think each game has its strengths and weaknesses,but each one has something I like and offers me a good time,and thats the most important aspect of it. That doesn't mean that anything I get rid of isn't good,it just means its not good or fun for me anymore,as in the case of getting rid of my Nes collection.

My son still has his,so its not like I cant play Nes anytime I want. I just don't want it as part of my own collection in my room. About the only other time I get rid of something is if I seek another version of it,like in the case of wanting to get rid of US Hu-cards in favor of the Japanese ones.

I'm not particularly proud of any of my games; I can't take pride in spending money on something.  Now if I had to battle some ninjas first or win 'em in a knife fight with a drunken monkey, then it'd be a different story.

"pride" is a bit silly ,  but I'd say my favorite games in my collection are:

Cotton - just got this recently and have started each morning with a game of Cotton and a cup of coffee.  It's an  awesome game!
Blazing Lasers - this was my main go-to before Cotton
Ys I & II - had a ball with with this one
Ys III - just finished this the other day & it ruled. was like a good book - couldn't put it down.
Dragon Slayer - I can't imagine an RPG from this era being any better than this !

a bit average, predictable response I guess.

I suppose I may be just a wee tiny bit proud of my new and mint condition copy of Camp California...

so where can I get this pirate Sapphire CD?

[Arjak]

Hmm... (Looks at Turbo collection consisting of 11 CD games) Let's see...

Here are my top CD games:

The Legend of Heroes - Totally awesome. I remember being fascinated by how deep the character development and relationships were, up to the point I played, anyway. Lots of fun, somewhat rare, and expensive in most cases (I got it relatively cheap).

Gate of Thunder - First of all, how can you go wrong with getting four games in one? Not only do you get the first two Bonk games and Bomberman, but the main attraction is one of the great overlooked shmups of all time. Fun, but find a good deal before buying. I got it for $50. Most go for $100 now. a$$holes.

Cosmic Fantasy 2 - This is probably stretching it, due to having not played it yet, but I bought it brand new on ebay for a fair price, and from what I've heard, I'm definitely in for a good time. Can't wait to try it out!

Gate of Thunder 4 in 1. Obvious.

Nexzr Special - Though I don't have the spine card, it's such a sweet shmup. runinruder's recent review of it says it all.

That's really about it for the time being. Though SFII CE will be a cherished edition to my collection when I finally get that. It's a fun game, but back in the day it was absolute proof that the PCE/Turbo was just as capable, if not more, than the Genesis or SNES.

I'm new to the turbo screen again (fourth time in nine years) and looking to build up the collection again.  The only originally one I have now is Riot Zone.  I have a CD-R copy of Sapphire, Lords of Thunder and Dracula X.  All great games.  I can't play Sapphire since I don't a arcade card duo but I do listen to the music while I'm cruising in my G35.

Thanks for twice making me laugh.  Good show, old bean.

I own Sapphire but it's definitely not my most prized.  I bought Sapphire right when it came out so I only payed 60 bucks for it.  I thought it was good, but not amazing.  My less expensive games I enjoy the most. All of these I own as well.

Dracula-X of course (got it for xmas in 93)
Spriggan 1 (no spine card) 
Ys Book I&II
Lords of Thunder
3 in 1 CD
Rayxanber II
Tengai Makyo II
Terraforming (US)
Air Zonk
Super Star Soldier
Blazing Lazers
Override
Parodius
Cotton (US)
Macross 2036
Dungeon Explorer II (US) payed 10 bucks for it at a place called Video Game Exchange.  They were getting rid of all their Turbo stuff for next to nothing.

I'll just continue writing in this thread instead of making a new one.


My own crown jewels in my PCE collection are so far:

Darius Alpha and sealed versions of Sapphire and Sylphia

and Kishin Zenki Douji for PCFX

[Peluso8]

My 3 Crown Jewels:

#1 Magical Chase
#2 Neutopia II
#3 Jackie Chan

[vestcoat]

Darius Alpha and sealed versions of Sapphire and Sylphia

I like sealed games but they don't seem to play on my systems.  Any suggestions?

[Black Tiger]

Darius Alpha and sealed versions of Sapphire and Sylphia

I like sealed games but they don't seem to play on my systems.  Any suggestions?

Just do the boss rush trick on Super Darius for a superior experience.
