Fair enough. We all know that if you are really just interested in playing these games, there are several other means available. Flashcarts and emulators spring to mind, and they are both extremely helpful if you are interested in development as well.
Flash carts and emulators are shit. Its equally depressing and baffling that people will group PCE copies of games in with flash carts and emulators.
See this?
Thats the same exact friggn game, a legit retail product, from the original region, not the bastard oddity alternate reality that is the Turbografx 16...for ten measly dollars, and he has many copies of it. Comes with a case (like all JP releases) with decent art too, unlike the shitty cardboard box with the janitor drawing on it.
Seriously...WTF is wrong with you people? Paying 10x+ as much for a mediocre condition copy of an inferior version. On a good day you could have had Kaze Kiri for that much money. You could easily have PCE versions of every bomberman game.
The damage done by an overinflated Turbo market is self %100 inflicted. Saying, "Dang, why are these prices so high!? Oh well, I guess I have to pay it." is just...stupid. You're the cause of the very thing you're complaining about.
I'm a much bigger fan of Bomberman '94, and didn't even own a copy of this game, but just because it makes me feel so f*cking smart I just now bought a copy for $16 shipped.
That was my text book bitching, now lets hear the same from two guys who always counterpoint me. I wonder if they'll still do that when Keith Courage hits $200 copy...
