We have all made that assumption, that is just the countdown (you know to 0). However, Press-Run you might want to put like #45 or people will keep thinking that.

I can't believe you didn't already have this game  :shock:

Don't you have a boxed complete system? I assume that would be the first thing you would get.

He was selling one in a FS thread a few weeks back. Maybe that one was all beat up and he was waiting to get his hands on one that was camera-worthy?

Your "complete" Keith Courage in Alpha Zones is missing the mini comic book.

Mini comic book? Hmm I wonder if i have one. Funny thing is I bought a Duo (my original TG-16 was stolen back in the day) and somehow I have two copies of Keith Courage.

I have my original TG-16 from 1990 and the Keith Courage came with a mini comic book... my buddy gave me his TG-16 from the $69.99 era (came with Bonk and Keith Courage) and it doesn't have the comic... but what I cannot confirm is if it did and my friend just lost it years ago...

My copy of Keith Courage has a worn and faded comic book, but I scored mine off of eBay. Hmm, maybe some versions had it and some didn't. The comic isn't exactly award-winning literature.

It's probably not faded... it's supposed to be a few shades lighter than the game booklet and it's printed on uncoated cover-stock which will look a little different.

Cheers,

Got the boxed complete system from a game store, came with Takin' to the Hoop unfortunately.  Bought original Keith Courage along with 22 other games off Craigslist but it came with a broken case and had to find one to replace it.

Didn't know there's a comic. I'll need to make some corrections. Anyone one got a comic to trade or sell?

It is a measly 4 page mini comic book but necessary for the true collector.

Aero Blasters.....44 1/2 (complete w/box)



Off onward upon another eager adventure engineering opposite increments in one-hundred absolution. Today's game is Aero Blasters and thanks to it, I learned a new skill.

Originally, the game was part of a large lot of boxed games with system. I knew the lot would go for a large sum to win and keep back the money by reselling the extras but that take too long and didn't want to deplete my cash reserves when a real bargain popped up. To get past the hassle and save time, I messaged the seller, offering him $20 for the Aero Blasters. He accepted it then a Paypal payment and air mail delivery later, the game was at my doorstep. I gleed in joy.  :mrgreen:

Truth be told, this was the first I tried this method and luckily it all worked fine. I got my game and seller has money in his pocket free of charges. (Only works before the first bid.) This approach comes in handy when I see a particular item I want (manual or box) without lugging the unnecessary luggage. Unfortunately, my success afterwards hasn't been so forgiving but I won't falter just yet. Has anyone else tried this?

I have tried that technique several times but each time I did, the seller said that he didn't want to break up the lot and then I ended up getting outbid by "ultimate game connection" (an ebay reseller who overcharges). Kudos to you for getting it to work on your first attempt.

Just checked Ultimate Gaming Collection store and his prices weren't all that bad. Did you mean Game Squad?  :-k
