sound like a deal?


Considering that one douche on ebay would sell one similar for about $1500 I'd say go for it. If it was me I'd try to talk the seller down $50.

$200 mint, boxed TG-16

sound like a deal?


I wouldn't pay more than $100 for that, and only then if it and the Bonk's Adventure were truly mint/complete.

Wow, that dude has Cotton, Dynastic Hero and Beyond Shadowgate for sale? I'm probably a six pack away from depleting my savings.

For a change of pace, here's a few good deals that recently went down on eBay:

$99 TG-16 w/ base and CD
$40 copy of Cotton (US)
$75 copy of Bonk 3 - Bonk's Big Adventure CD

Did anyone here get any of these?

That turbo could be a good deal but if that CD attachment didn't work i'd be upset. The listing just looks too risky. 'I have no cables to test" just sounds like "i found this in a dumpster or stole it".

Those seem really odd to me, those are 2 of the sweet spot games on the TG and only 1 bid each. Seem fishy to me. Even the sucky games gets bids on them. But if its legit then DAM what a steal.

Those were BINs, hence the "1 bid."

Then it makes since, Someone didn't know what they had. Or they wanted to give the average joe a chance at playing a game that sells for $200 and currently $125 (cotton). Hopefully a true TG collector got them and not some money hungry monkey dog that's gonna resell for higher.

My vote goes to the latter. Pigs... :evil:

Hopefully that's not the case.  Sorry you missed out.  I have the same luck.
