Haha, the dream of the 90's is alive on this forum! Just surprised to see a yahoo account... got one of those a short time after I got my turbo...aka middle school.

How do you know that the person who bought it isn't in league with the seller to make it look like people are really paying these kind of prices?

How do we know that your reseller witch hunts before you've even settled in isn't a ploy to raise yourself above suspician asap, so that you can score bigger than anyone?

Witch hunt? I was just suggesting something that could happen.
Why would I bother to make myself out to be some kind of saint.
I'm a wack-job and everyone knows it.
Ask anyone online who knows me?
They'll tell you.
I am what I am.

Ark, I would like 100 copies signed, for um, my personal collection.  Also, make each one out to "Highest Ebay Bidder", thanks...

How do we know that Arkhan isn't in league with special version re-sellers? Afterall, he has the most to gain. Between his cut on the prototypes, limited editions and the renewed interest in the regular copies each time one gets gouged, it's a brilliant marketing strategy.

I rather much start a lynch mob against the likes of PoweredupGames for overpricing his Turbo stuff way too much.

I don't think there is a problem if this guy made a good profit off of his game...

as long as it is feeding a cocaine addiction.

I'm all for Ark making money off his homebrews, The more money he makes the more homebrews he can create.

:)

We know because I'm not a dipshit motherf*cker that hangs out with troglodytes like Roy, and brochad college wannabe gamers like Dingle Barry.

Plus, if I wanted to flip profits on these things, I'd already be doing stupid shit like smearing my paint-soaked dick all over the case, and then signing my name in blood.. followed by listing it on eBay as the Arkhan f*cked This One copy, for 600$.  I could fire off CD-R "prototypes" left and right of the game.   I have the code, and can do what I want with it and make so many wackoff versions of the game, people wouldn't know how to cope.  Me and Oldman could make a f*ckin circus out of Insanity in a weekend.

However, I have a real job to make money.  This is for fun/knowledge/excitement/longevity of old consoles.   It's not for douchenozzle shenanigans by people who are pretending to be gamers.

Anyone who resells homebrew to make $$ is a pole smoker.  They don't deserve to have thumbs.

Nice one, Arkhan. Wonder what that would be like? Trying to use a control pad without thumbs I mean. Hope I never have to find out.

But c'mon Arkhan, tell us how you really feel!   :lol:
If anyone gets any leads on a "fair priced" copy of Coryoon, please lemme know!

Where is fancy bred?

this isn't a terrible price, but It's my brother selling it and he didn't offer it to me, that bastard!

I don''t want to kill him ... maybe just a Genesis with a 32x and CD you know just knock him out for a few days.
