Magical Chase Waiting List

Great Journal.  This turned into a good thread.

I dunno, that's an OK collection.  Without Magical Chase in the picture though, it just seems like junk.

you should go on a mission to beat every game you have first and then go on your hunt for MC. That would make it truly epic

The "Yes I Heart You Too" was priceless

this post was a side-buster

Quality lulz indeed. 

Now if you really wanna earn my respect, you're gonna have to find the three booby discs.

You need to up your game, as your trollsauce is too weak to garner anything more than a meh.

A meh will suffice.

I'm fairly new around here and even I think you're a loser.

<<still f@cking laughing>>>

You said trollsauce

theclash: hmmm you didn't see MC?

BlueBMW: Thanks, hoped someone thought it was lol-worthy

jibbajabba: I agree

Necromancer:  The bikini girls games?

I have been collecting a pretty long time, and I have not bought too much TG stuff recently, I probably couldn't afford it now!

I have had at least a couple chances to buy mc in the last year, I have just waited too long or someone bought it out from under me.  I found someone on craigslist, but he didn't want to ship it (understandably), another who had it complete and wanted more than he paid (I just want it loose), another who wound up selling on ebay.  And then there are several more people who, for the time being are not interested in selling it.  So, I figured I could find someone here who no longer wanted it and etc.  So it is not that I cannot find it, it is that something happens and I am not able to buy it. 

I guess it is not that hard to find it/buy it, but people who you find on craigslist are reluctant to ship something like mc, so I thought I would find someone on here... I won't delete my prior postings, but I won't do it again, my bad.

I do think that completing my TG would make me gain at least 100 hp, and 50 lvl up.  I need 2 games for my virtual boy as well, but the hp/lvl up would not be as good, nor do I want to spend any money on shit games...

I am very surprised at the interest level of TG on ebay, and I am dumbfounded and confused everytime I see sellers listing everything as RARE, OMG RARE and so on.  I would love to get a copy of MC, but I don't want to drive up prices online. 

Good day!

You know, this whole gouging problem could be solved...

Just trade to members (or pay), but mostly trade, so it stays in the community, and the price doesn't just keep going up and up...

If I had a US MC I would trade i for Coryoon.  That's it!  It's the only pc-e game left I really want to buy.

That's how the price jumped from $100 - $1000 in the first place.

Funny story. Back when I was starting up MAGFest 1, I approached Steve Garwood about doing some anniversary reprint discs. Fancy stuff, limited editions, numbered, original Duo games in every way except maybe with a MAGFest logo somewhere. This would ahve been late 2001, early 2002.

He kind of laughed at the idea. If you guys remember, he did a limited reprint (1000) of Dungeon Explorer II, disc and back insert only (instructions were photocopied).  That would have been 1994 maybe.

Basically what he said was that he had so much trouble getting permissions and sneaking that reprint past the (at the time) rapidly collapsing TTI, that it wouldn't be worth the effort or trouble to do anymore reprint. He also made some vague mention to have thought about it several times and considered trying it before, etc.

Specifically, I asked him to do a hundred copies each of Bonk 3, Super Air Zonk, Dynastic Hero, Beyond Shadowgate, and Terraforming. Of course I was 21 at the time and completely unaware of the minimum 1000 copies rule.

Anyway, would be easy to do nowadays with the technology, except for the instruction booklets. But it would take a chunk of change to 1000 of those games, plus someone would have to eat the investment until enough sold to make it back. Just ask BT how long he sat on 1000 copies of Implode (3-4 years I think). 

I imagine doing a chip would be even harder than a CD. Still, makes for a fun thought :-)

I got $500 for my Super Air Zonk and Bonk 3 several years ago. Wish I hadn't sold them now.

I will keep my Coryoon, ready and waiting for ya...

From the members, or from throwing that on ebay?

I would be totally down for some reprint action, manuals, cd, or hu... If we received all copyright and trademark clearance, of course.

The CDs are easy to make, but they'd be burned instead of pressed and the undersides wouldn't look the same. (Meteor Blaster DX for example). A CD labeling kit would take care of the disc art easily ... with the right ink and right labels. Back inserts are also a cinch and they're virtually indistinguishable.

It's the instruction booklets that are problematic. (cover and back art are easy enough, just the interior is the problem) We'd have to get originals of some of those rare ones and then be willing to pop the staples and flatten them all for scanning. Good luck getting a Magical Chase owner to comply. There's no way my Dynastic Hero booklet is getting un-stapled.

Still doesn't solve the problem of producing chips. I bet Brandon Cobb over at Super Fighter Team would know a way to make HuCards. He's a genius at finding manufacturers in "middle-of-nowhere China", etc.

[SMF]

These are all good idea's but one thing would drastically backfire. The ORIGINALS would skyrocket in price overnight. Cause there are some of us forum members that would still like to get their hands on a original game. Not to mention the non forum members that would jack the cost up. MC would start looking like a bargin at $1700 when they are asking for double maybe even triple.

I will get this game, but it will be the pcengine version.  I could care less if it was the USA one, no matter what the differences are.  I have one more game to get ahead of this one, then I will own MC.
