congrats Snake!  welcome to the Sylphie club.  How much did she set you back?  Did you pick it up from JP or US auctions?

just bought myself a copy of Sylphia and got it yesterday.  This is the game I want the most but for some reasons I kept missing opportunities to get this title and finally I got it...........:D

I paid $199 + shipping from ebay.  I still remember Sylphia was sold $90 shipped in here back in 2005 but at that time I was getting Dead of the Brains 1& 2................

Well, I like this game so much..............cool soundtrack though

wow, Sylphie is a pricey little fairy princess everywhere! 
I spent ~10,000 yen about a months ago to nab mine in Japan, ~$120 USD with the way Yen is rocking vs. the Dollar.  No spine card though - was yours complete?  If so, not a bad deal! 

Dead of Brain.... mmmm... how much did you nab those back in the days?  I got sh*tlucky and found a new sealled copy this last JP trip for $140.  I couldn't believe it.  I paid more than $150 for an open complete copy w/o registration just like 3 months prior.  I think I still have my piss stain from wetting my pants.. hahha (just kidding). 

I'm currently waiting for my RGB->HDMI upscale convertor to arrive, so then I can really enjoy watching little Sylphie fly with the Doujindance's RGB modded Duo  8) 8) 8)

Mine doesn't come with a spinecard so it's okay.........at least I have this game in hand to play :)

Regarding to Dead of the Brains 1&2, I was very very very lucky to get a new copy for $55 + shipping on eBay during the memorial weekend in 2005.  I don't know if it's the long weekend or what but nobody was bidding at that time.  But I was running out of fund so I can only pay Brains not Sylphia......

Speaking of Dead of the Brain, did anyone here get this copy?  At about $135 shipped, that's a pretty dang good deal.

that is a great deal indeed.  I sold my copy just like it (same, w/spine but w/o reg. card), plus bunch of RPGs and it went to $300 a few months back.

My friend, from which I got it, bought it in 1996 for around that price, and I took it from him in 2002.

Don't forget to check out the hard rock version of Sylphia that Tom & I put together!  Although I love the music in Sylphia, I feel our version is much more fitting for the game, though, I don't have a link to it, you'll have to ask Tom.

Nevermind, I found the link!

Does Tom even post here anymore?It seemed liked he always had alot of game translations things going on.It  would be kinda of A shame if he left the community.
