Magical Chase Waiting List

[alexsduo]

Hey Dudes and Dudettes,

I have been looking for MC for a long time.  It will complete me.  I get some emails/responses on craigslist, mostly negative about how I am going to resell it or some other bullshit.  I don't even list $50 or $100 or what the other jokers do.  I am very interested in getting a copy.

So, I propose, in order to keep MC in the "family" we have a waiting list.  I would also like to add my name to the top of the list .  Or have some other system of order where people wanting the game, and people selling / trading the game can get together.

I personally cannot fathom selling my entire gaming lot, or MC if I had it, but I guess I don't have much going on... Maybe one day, I will lose the desire to collect or I have to sell for money problems, hopefully not. 

But, it would be great, as we can totally bypass fleabay, and make sure people do not gouge the game.  It would be more difficult to track the price, and have outrageous prices for the game sold, if we keep it to ourselves.  I do not know how many get traded or sold on this forum. 

Let me know if anyone else is down!

Thanks!

I have been in contact with Hudson Soft to try and get them to recreate the HuCard for 40 copies but I wouldnt hold your breath.  They still do not seem like they want to even if possible.

You are being ridiculous. Don't start rumors like that. Its beneath you...whoever you are.

When viewed from a far this idea actually makes sense, in a f*cked up way. Most of those copies of MC you see on eBay have changed hands more times than a rental car. People get the urge, then after actually owning it for a while they realize that its just a game, and only a B+ game at best, so they sell it for the stupid money they can get for it. The same thing happens with Ferraris. You, alexsduo, are pretty much guaranteed to do the same thing. Your extreme want for this game is superficial and shallow and disproportionally intense. If you get one, you won't be keeping it for life. Virtually none of the people buying TG-16 games in this current climate keep the stuff, so setting up a sort of custody system would make sense really, but its never going to happen like that, obviously.

Absolutely.  Desires like this, like any addictive behavior, don't just go away with the next "fix."  If Alexduo ever finds the game he'll be selling it to buy something else tomorrow.

alex - Chill out.  You have seventy posts and most of them have been about your quest for this one game.  Try doing some detective work or check out the other retro forums rather than spamming the same board everyday.  Or heck, you could even try participating in some actual discussions on other topics around here and get to know people.  Maybe someone will be inclined to cut a deal if you become known as something other than the annoying MC kid.  Post a trade list and test the waters once or twice a year, but stop the daily spam.

Not starting rumors.  I tried contacting Hudson Soft with this request and all i got was a reply sayign they would forward the request to the appropriete dept.  NO other replies.  Here is their customer support email:  support@hudsonent.com  Maybe if they have enough interest and the materials, they would make a limited run.  I know its wishful thinking but it doesnt hurt to ask.

Since Magical Chase is so common and always available, I'd rather have a Dynastic Hero waiting list.

It's really not at all a possibility, especially since Hudson USA no longer exists.

Even further worth note is the fact that this game never showed up on Virtual Console, this indicates to me that the intellectual property rights to the game might be floating around with other companies.

Well it was worth a shot.  Not like it cost me anything.

You got the same request you'd get if you asked them to produce a zeppelin with Bonk's face on it. A polite professional way of saying "get out of my face".

Hudson isn't going to reissue this game. Ever. If they do it won't be on a HuCard, a format they haven't produced in 15 years. And even if they did make it, and made it on a HuCard, it would be a US release and it wouldn't be limited to 40 copies. The only games produced in quantities that limited are arcade releases. You can't make any money building a HuCard factory and then just pumping out 40 $50 games. That's $2000 in revenue towards paying off a million dollar HuCard machine. It makes no damn sense, man. 

Even if they did All that, it still wouldn't do the scene any good because something issued in a quantity of 40 would then instantly become the rarest commercial TG-16 release and would eBay for more than the existing version.

I understand.  I was looking at it with the hopes perhaps the Hucard tooling would be sitting in some store room and maybe they would be willing to use it.  I realize the tooling might not be around anymore.  I was only trying to help since it seems eveyone would like a copy.  If a remote chance they were willing to do it then at least I was of some help to all of you.  I didnt think it was such a bad thing to try and help.  No reason to get worked up or accuse me of starting rumors ect.  Like I said it didnt cost me anything to send an email and I am not the type to keep bothering them about it.

Lighten up Zeta. Sure, NEC -probably- isn't gonna re-release it, especially in a limited run of 40 copies. But like the man said:

It Never Hurts To Ask!

...and we're damn sure not gonna see it if nobody ever asks for it.

Hey Dudes and Dudettes,

I agree you are on CL every other day w/ a new post.  Not that I care how much it goes for, but it's this kind of sick obsession that makes the game go for 2K.

If i was a scumbag w/ a MC the first person I would try to take advantage of is the kid w/ the 100 CL posts this year.

If you want it that badly pay the premium, If not sit back and hope you get lucky like most folk are going to do. 

Didn't you see Desmond's video he got it on accident in a Hit the Ice box while shopping on April 1st.  What a blessing!!
