[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Bonk 3 Comfy Discussion Thread]

I still have the Hucard loose. Got it off of Amazon for $60 bones several years ago. Great game! Now it's super expensive and makes me wanna sell sell sell! SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL...

Maybe.

Okay, see ya'll in like 4+ years. I'm out.

TEE HEE. I miss SOME of you.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Express with unlisted US Bonk 3 on ebay]

Hi all! I pop in from time to time. Thinking about getting a Duo R at some point so I can leave my TG16/CD system to rest.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Express with unlisted US Bonk 3 on ebay]

still available?!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Metal Jesus ruins my faith in humanity]

MJ wouldn't be getting all these views/subscribers if he wasn't entertaining and/or popular. I'll admit, his Turbo GEMs videos are terrible and not indicative of what most (who are deeply familiar with) consider a hidden gem. Technically all TG16 games are hidden games, given the obscurity of the console in the US, but we know better!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: stolen collection]

No room mates or people staying with me, I'm rather seclusive, most people are too stupid to put up with, I'm in a relationship right now, me and my girlfriend have been living together about a year, it sucks too because I got her into TurboGrafx pretty good.
I was out game hunting, came back with about fourth games, ready to clean, organize and put into my collection only it wasn't there when I got back.
Nobody knew I was gone, as for suspects in not too sure, I have maybe three people I game with but they're mostly PlayStation and Xbox ''gamers'' so they're fucking clueless, I get them to play old shit but apparently nobody has patience for games requiring skill nowadays.
As long as it pops up eventually I'll be fine, hell if the person brought it back this second I'd hug them, I don't make much money so have $13,000 worth of my life's collection go missing feels like something I can't replace.
Thanks again for all the kind words, its hard to keep my fucking sanity lol.

Maybe your gf was in on it and told someone else where to find everything. Or perhaps she was there while it happened. You never know. How long were you gone when it happened? Where was she?

Just throwing ideas out there!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: stolen collection]

It has to be someone you know. Write a list of each person that are potential suspects, and then branch off of each one qualities about them (length of relationship, distance from house, whether they have VG knowledge). The last one is a big one. I know if the majority of my friends stole my stuff, they wouldn't be so specific (some can't even tell what system a Turbo Grafx CD vs a Playstation 1 game case is) in what to grab and only grab.

Double check if anything else was stolen. Again, if it was that specific, they have to have seen/been to your house numerous times to memorize the hiding places for cash, where those video games/consoles were laid out and when you would be gone from the place.

Did you have any roommates, anyone else staying at your house for extended periods of time? Did you end a particular relationship on a bad note and this is as revenge?

Hope you get your stuff back, but I doubt they will sell it off right away. I'd expect at least a 2-5 month wait for the hotness to wear off slightly before even attempting to sell any of it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

I enjoyed the NES version and never knew there was a TG16 one until recently. Looks pretty improved upon in a lot of ways. Going to have to get it sometime!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

I came across this game on Youtube and thought it looked awesome. Glad to see that a translation of sorts is forthcoming.

As far as intros go, I like the PC Engine version better than the Sega Saturn port.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

I'm sure he hollowed out the spindle teeth and the put adhesive to hold the plastic hucard sleeve to the case so you can slip the game in and out, in and out.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

I don't have to go anywhere. Mucho Gracias.

You will if you continue to instigate and actively participate in these circle jerks (breaking rules along the way) and then have the temerity to report other's posts.

So next time not say anything if they were the ones that brought it up first? I see how it is. nyan cat

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

I don't have to go anywhere. Mucho Gracias.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

You have a big ass?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

Thanks. What's next, guys?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: All in one Turbo-to-PCE converter (and vice-versa)]

I would get this if the green pcb didn't stick out of the console. Is there a way to make it flush?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

My dad's deceased, but thanks for bringing that into the equation YOU FUCK. End of story.

I also didn't whine. I said my copy was damaged and I got sent another without having to send the other one back. Should I have burned it and recorded a Youtube video about it?

Bottom line ...what's your point?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

And I'm also not apologizing as I don't feel like it will do anything. Treat me however you want.

I'll tell you this: one of the orders, I refunded because the guy said he ordered "by mistake". That's why you see a purchase the same day I listed it and in the same city, go figure (the irony!).

I still have the broken case copy (and yes that one actually has a broken case during transit) in my collection. I can even post a picture of it against my username here, but again, what does it matter to any of you?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

The gift cards were free, and yes technically it is currency, but I don't think about it as paying $100 total.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

If you gals want to make topics go off-topic, be my guest. and I was right about the community. Hold grudges like teenage babies! Meanwhile, I'll go back to playing my $54 copy of Bonk III on hucard.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

Moving onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......

What purchases have anyone else made this month?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

Definitely hard!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

All of his auctions are ~30% higher than the going rate.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

Common theme: ~$60-70 price tags!

Where did I see that from?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

Arrived today! Wow, I ordered it Saturday morning and it came halfway across the country.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

Got Bonk III (US Hucard only) off of Amazon for $54 after some gift cards. Originally was listed at $100. Normally I wouldn't spend that much on a loose card, but since I have the first two Bonk games in some form (Gates of Thunder pack-in), I thought I'd get the last entry aside from Air Zonk.

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

I like the constant homosexual references. It's like the series is catered towards Gays!

[Off-Topic / Re: Storino the Homebrew Gouger]

I only won one raffle and it was for Metal Gear Solid for PS1. I already had it, so I kept the better copy and gave the other away. I win tons of raffles here, and I expect many many more!

[Off-Topic / Re: Storino the Homebrew Gouger]

Glad to hear it, 95% of the forum is flaming other users, wars, and other nonsense from 2+ years ago anyway. I look forward to this so-called new "moderated forum" now

[Off-Topic / Re: Storino the Homebrew Gouger]

I'm not here for the people or anyone specific, maybe Necromancer. He's my boo. But mainly for the knowledge base topics and how-to's.

Thanks

[Off-Topic / Re: Storino the Homebrew Gouger]

Finally on page 9.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Cause of the TG16 price hike.]

Thanks I also have 5 Magical Chases that I got for $10 each. I am selling them at the current market rate and not half, therefore I am contributing to the price hike. 

[Off-Topic / Re: Storino the Homebrew Gouger]

Lastly, I could divulge what really happened with that ebay listing(s)...

You could.  But I guarantee you that most of us don't give a shit.  The fact that you came back with an alt account is much more pathetic than whatever eBay shenanigans you pulled.  I really don't remember what it was, and can't be assed to go back and read this thread.

Yes, I said I could, and I won't. None of you deserve to know and it's not what you thought. I can make an alternative account if I want, I can even make several. DEAL.

I have a few hours before I must retire to more important things than entertaining this cult. Let's try to get to 20 pages though, okay?

[Off-Topic / Re: Storino the Homebrew Gouger]

Love you too! I missed you the most, Ballsacks!

[Off-Topic / Re: Storino the Homebrew Gouger]

Thanks for making me popular again. I miss you all. Carry on!


Let's make babies, I mean memories together!

Lastly, I could divulge what really happened with that ebay listing(s), and why there were two sales, but I'm not adding any more fuel to the fire. You can ponder and think what you want, and only I know what really happened.

Scandalous right?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New Gamasutra Article - TG16 Turns 25]

I liked this article, seemed pretty comprehensive. Well, here's to 25 more years. How many of you will be around then?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB TG16 Converter (Purple one!)]

I mainly want the purple one because it doesn't stick out of the system (on the TG16 model) and then I can just leave it in most of the time. Seems to range from $80-140 from what I see on Ebay.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Cause of the TG16 price hike.]

Maybe someone can explained this whole "collectard" thing to me. If I'm not mistaken most of the users on this site are collecting video games, are they not? It's hard to play a game if you don't buy it. Sure you can go the route of using an Everdrive, but I have a feeling there are more collectors on the forums than there are who stick to the Everdrive.

I'm a gamer... I have been ever since my parents bought a VCS around 1980. Ever since then I have been not only playing games but collecting them. There have been occasions that I've sold off large portions of my collecting when in times of need, but then I eventually buy it back from another source. Sorry for my ignorance here, but I don't understand why people of this community are so harsh against collectors.

A collectard is anyone who pays more than what the game was sold for in 1995 in the bargain bin at Babbages.

Unless you are finding Turbo Grafx games for $2 CIB, I doubt it, so everyone is pretty much paying the going rate these days.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB TG16 Converter (Purple one!)]

What is your setup?  If youre just running a US TG16 then it might be cheaper to spend a little more and grab a Japanese Duo system.  Then youd have both regions and CD support.

Cheaper yes! But I rather just have this converter. And yes, my alternate account! Thanks for noticing!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Tips for Valis III...]

I still haven't beaten the ice/water level in Valis 3. I was going to buy Valis 2 now, but the going price seems to be $90 on Ebay. Good price?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Cause of the TG16 price hike.]

The widespread use of the internet has also helped to gain information on video game consoles such as the TG16 that many have missed out on and are now searching for. In other words, blame the growth of the internet with the hike anything video game related.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB TG16 Converter (Purple one!)]

I know I can use free methods and the ones by Chop5, but I rather have this one as it's compact and I can always leave it plugged in. I think it'll help me expand into the PC Engine hucard land finally.

[General Gaming / Re: Tales of Symphonia Chronicles PS3 (Collector's Edition: $99.99)]

Not to mention the novel book is soft cover (UK CE) as opposed to hard cover in the US CE.

[General Gaming / Re: Tales of Symphonia Chronicles PS3 (Collector's Edition: $99.99)]

It's Temporarily Out of Stock on Amazon for $99, but if you place your order(s) now, there is a high likelihood of it going through!

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I got two CEs of Chronicles from Namco and Amazon.

Also got a standard edition off of Amazon which was free, and the CE came to $21.

CE from Namco was regular price though.

So far I got the Namco one today and the number was 8822

I posted an unboxing video:

cardboard is at a record high these days. It's all about condition.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I would play WonderSwan if it had a backlight screen, same with the NGPC. I have a ton of games for it, but I don't like how I have to stay by a light source in order to see anything.

[General Gaming / Re: are people F&*@\$ crazy?]

The price of games goes with demand, what people are willing to pay, so obviously people ARE willing to pay higher prices.

A lot of classic games are going up in price now.
