2 questions about Magical Chase

[Peluso8]

1. Does anyone know how many were made?

2. How much are the hucard, manual and box worth individually?

Thanks.

Specific info regarding US Turbo Grafx production run is a highly guarded secret.  No one knows, no one will say.

But someone surely has an opinion, right?

Magical Chase had a run of 3,000+ if I understand correctly. Not really any rarer than, and somewhat less rare than, most of the end of life TG-16 releases.

8,000 HuCards were manufactured. 2,000 Manuals were printed. 0 TurboPoints were redeemed.

Wow.  What's your source?  I was asking questions like that a few months ago and no one had any answers for me.

I'm pretty sure Steve is pulling those numbers out of his ass as "opinion" as I see little reason they would produce 6,000 more HuCards than manuals. Not to mention 8,000 was way too high for such a late game.

3,000 is probably in the closer ballpark. Most of the end-of-life games had runs in that general vincinity, while some only got 1,500 copies pressed (Dynastic Hero, etc). This comes from a guy I know that used to work for Hudson.

2. How much are the hucard, manual and box worth individually?

Thats a good question on indivdually… i will take a shot at this, for a fair price my thoughts are…
loose hucard… $150 (high end $200)
box… $50-60
manual…$30-$40

and this would be for very good shape.

again i would pay those prices, but i am a bit crazed 
I have a minty complete one with the plastic wrap still there except on the one opened end… i wonder what that plastic wrap is worth

[nat]

I paid $165 for a "complete" MC (game+manual) in mint condition. I personally wouldn't pay more than $100 for a loose cart, but that's just me....

ya great price nat, is it with the box & plastic tray?

Magical became that last game i needed which everyone seems to end up missing in the end most of the time, when its your last game you need you get a little too damn hungry for it!!!! In the end for me it was traded to me i got a minty complete MC (game,box, tray, manual, plastic wrap ) and i traded the other guy an Atari prototype box of the Incredible Hulk (just the box) this was the most exciting trade i have ever made.

Thanks.

999 copies were made.

The HuCard and box are worth $500 each. The manual is worth $100 on it's own and the sleeve is worth $1.

Altogether the complete game is worth $5000.



I wish this was as much of a joke as it should be.

And here I was worried that my comment about the TurboPoints would give it away...

magical chase and order of the griffon got low print runs of 3,000 (as far as i can recall).  it wasn't just because they were late releases but also late hu cards.  with the express and tg 16 on their way out and the cd and super cd seen as the way to go, i think tti saw very little point in getting too many of these out there.  i should point out that i have also heard 5,000 copies of magical chase.  not sure which is correct.

it's not that it's rare / underproduced.  it's just in-demand because it's such a good game.

[nat]

I'd lean more towards 3,000, but I think you were the one that told me that figure initially George so now I don't know WHAT to believe, haha. 

That's interesting Order of the Griffon had such a low print run also, I had no idea.

Wait, is geepee16 George Palamara?
