Am I the only one that thinks the DE II and Bonk 3 manuals in here look like printouts?


Naw man they are definitely print outs because you can clearly see dungeon explorer II is missing a portion of its super cd logo.  Also seemed as though he was running out of color because its black on the left side, and more purple on the right.  Bonk I want to say is also, but for some reason I can't put my finger as to why, but gives me bad vibes.

Yeah the color saturation is off. Alien Crush and Legendary Axe look similar.

In the "questions" sections, he admits that Bonk III, DE II and Dragon Slayer are all counterfeit...

Aside:  This guy has to be on here - he has been active at buying and selling TG stuff for about 15 years...

And here is an old thread from PCEFX about him:

"just as I described them"

A lie of omission.  They're described simply as inserts, with no mention of them not being originals or of questionable quality.

That is some seriously shady stuff for him to do. He's like Kurt Russell's character in "Used Cars".

I wanted to find out who he was so I tried to win a couple auctions with low bids.. anyway.. the auctions ended yesterday and just like clockwork, he sends me his phone # and email address to see if we can work something out (outside of eBay) for the titles I didn't win... still up to his old shit...

Turn him in to ebay.  They like their fees, so maybe they'll actually do something.

Given. 

I also can confirm he is not the guy who used to distribute T.T.I. in Canada...

I think I am ready to play some Blackthorn!  I now have two 32X games Blackthron and Night Trap. Apart from those the only other three that interest me are Space Harrier, After Burner, and Tempo. Anyone recommend any other must plays for the 32X?



The 3.0 system card was a sweet $14 free shipping pick up. And well Teranigma. I am very interested to play this PAL game. And in English.

I think you landed in the wrong thread, Medic. Unless you wanted help bitching about the recent prices of Blackthorn. :)

I liked Knuckles Chaotix and Kolibri on 32x.  And they aren't exactly super gauges on ebay either.  Blackthorne though, when the hell did that get so price-y anyway?

Blackthorne has always been a marginally pricey game on the 32X, it's pretty uncommon compared to most of the library.

I managed to get a copy on Amazon boxed for...Jesus maybe $30?  I can't remember, it was before the price-gouging days, back when filtering ebay searches "from lowest price to highest" was worthwhile -_-
