Nice indeed!  Good to hear that it'll be enjoyed and not just sit on some clown's shelf.

On the bright side, some folks got some sweet deals recently. I just saw a Bonk 3 go for $50, Legend of Hero Tonma for $35 and Neutopia II for $20. Of course, I didn't luck out on any of those, but congrats to whoever did. Here's hoping they're gonna play them and not just stick 'em on a shelf or resell them.


Very cool!
Well I was the lucky one who got the Bonk 3 for $50 have not tested it out but it was advertised as a working copy.. Will give it a go when I get home. Just want to let everyone know this copy didn't get in the hands of a re-seller! Can't wait to go home tonight and play this one! Never thought I would get a chance to own it :)

Cadash is leaping all over the place lately, too. I bought mine for a little over $25, but it seems to swing as low as $20 complete, to $45 or so.

Super Star Soldier too. I think one just went for around $60!!

Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to TG/PCE.
If anyone gets any leads on a "fair priced" copy of Coryoon, please lemme know!

Where is fancy bred?

I can't find a complete Dead Moon (Card and Manual) or Samurai Ghost (Card and manual) for the right price... nevermind freaking Chew Man Fu...

Yeah, I saw that one. I think it's because the seller didn't state in the auction what was included. Scared some people off. Unfortunately, that one wasn't listed when I bought mine, or you and I would've duked it out over it! :lol:

They're out there, that's for sure. I don't think I've "overpaid" yet, for any of my games. Well, maybe by 2003 standards, which is when I sold off my previous Turbo collection. But by and large, I've been buying most titles I want at very reasonable prices. The agony is waiting, and waiting... and waiting.

What's been elusive to me is still that damn CD+G disc.  I got the sega one FINALLY and will try it tonight.

Yeah, deals can still be found on ebay, though it takes quite a bit of patience and hard work... over a decade ago, prices seem to have been more reasonable for some titles... it's fun to look at tzd.com on archive.org where bonk 3 was 29.99... but, I was pretty much a broke student during those years, so I couldn't really focus on building a collection...

Yeah we never thought that prices were going to get this crazy.  Hell I remember buying a Kisado converter from TZD so I could use my Arcade Card to play Sapphire.  It was 19.99 and I bought Sapphire for 59.  I passed on MC cause I felt it was a good game but $49.99 was too much.  I got 4 good games new for the price of a $49.99 magical chase.   #-o
