bonus points is you use the discarded shrink wrap as a prophilactic. 

lol i'll post up a pic of me ripping off the seal on the turbo/pc engine group on fb since I got it on my phone lol

Just did a BIN for $95 shipped for a TG16 in "great condition" with all cables and Air Zonk & R-Type.

There was a stock picture for the console and no pics of the games. A bit risky, but I guess I'll be ok because of ebay's buyer protection. With inflated prices and not knowing the condition of anything not sure if this was a good deal or not???

I have a TG16 and R-Type I for the PCE, so I only really needed Air Zonk. *If* I can resist my hoarding tendencies, the TG16 will be up for sale here; no gouging/ebay.

Received my CIB with comic of Keith Courage today. I'll get some pictures up once I get my box from Sparky.

Nice excited to see what kind of cobdition you get the stuff in. I am sure the games are loose but hey!  New TG-16 games loose kr complete is always good

I'll post pics when it arrives. I think there's a chance, albeit very small, that the games aren't loose. The seller isn't a video game scalper, and has only sold ~4 other items this year on ebay. I think it's something like a mother who's selling their kids old video games or she found it at a yard sale and her grand-kids wanted a PS4 instead.

Loose, with manual, CIC or boxed I'm still getting Air Zonk, so happy days are here again.

cib games,  they're more than good, they're great! lol

congrats on your complete keith courage mitsuman! I believe I saw that on fb!

[cr8zykuban0]

why am i such a sucker for shrinkwrapped minty boxes?

I agree with kuban0, they're grrrrreat!  Better than french fries at a ramen joint for sure!

hell yeah Nulltard! but I like opening up those sealed games and sniffing the inside goodness! I do the same when I pick up neo geo aes games. the smell is magically delicious!

btw, im raffling off an alien crush box if you are interested in checking out the raffle

I saw this auction too; it always pays to read the auction description!  Good thing you did a BIN, I'm sure it would have ended up in a bidding war otherwise.  Even if you just get two loose cards in the deal, you are pretty far ahead in terms of value.  Also, thanks for offering up the system to the community, I'm sure it will find a good home here.  Looking forward to those pics!

I picked up the Beeshu "Ultimate Superstick"  for about 32 bucks. I've wanted an arcade stick to use for a while and had read that the Turbo Stick is not so great.

Somewhat ironically I then saw today (and won) an ok priced (23$) auction for a Playstation-to-Turbografx controller converter. So I suppose soon I can just use one of the many PS sticks I have.

I saw that converter and didn't realize it could be used for that. I assume that's why most people get it, unless they really want to obey with a ps2 controller.

I'm confused tucci...not trying to be a smartass, but what did you think it did? And what do you think it does now? I may have worded my post weirdly.

It doesn't work two ways (Doesn't make TG stuff work on PS) if you somehow read it that way. I just mentioned that I got a TG arcade stick AND the PS to TG converter because it was just kind of silly of me to get two solutions to one problem in the same weekend. 

It only does one thing that i know of, let's me use PScontrollers on the TG. I love the PS2 controller (and the various other options the port offers me, turbo controllers, arcade sticks, etc) and do really want to obey with one. Is that sacrilege?

If I had one (I don't)  I likely would have considered it. What's your project galam, if I can ask?

It appears these two are the only stock stick options for the TG. Opinions? Again, I have read on various places largely bad things about the Turbo Stick. But never used one myself.

[GoldenWheels]

odd double post sorry

Well when i first saw that ps2-tg16 converter i was confused as to why someone would want to use a regular dual shock controller to play turbo games. Hadn't realized it could be used for ps2 fight sticks for fighting games and such on the turbo.

But if you're a fan of the ps2 controller, i won't judge! I'll have to keep my eye out for that converter in the future.

I do actually like the TG controller just fine! I may use a PS2 dual shock only because I have a nice wireless one...though my experience says wireless doesn't always like converters for some reason (My logitech PS2 wireless controller doesn't work through a PS2-Xbox converter for some reason). 

But yeah this is mostly for using sticks. Ironically (again) I got the Beeshu stick in the mail yesterday...and the down direction was shot. I opened the controller up and someone had pulled on down, so hard, that the board had cracked (!) and the spring and leaf contact had been wrecked. Seller was great and I got a refund but now I REALLY want to use the thing, having it in my hands!

haha and thans for not judging!  O:) I play my Atari 7800 with a Genesis controller too!

Yay!

You need to get a styrofoam block for that bad boy too ;)

Yes I do. Maybe I'll go to a hobby shop and buy a sheet of it to cut it to size.

I finally, FINALLY just got the Rondo of Blood (I've owned a burned copy for years which I bought on eBay before making your own was viable) and could not be happier.

Nah, I'll probably hang onto it for shits and giggles. I've had it for so long now, it thinks its a real game.

[reson8er]

why raffle a CDR? it'd cost more to ship than it would to burn.

Haha yup. The person who sold me the copy did put a little effort into it by putting in full color (low quality) CD case sleeve and printing a blown up picture of the games cover on the disc also in color. Its a total hack job but at better than a marker titled CD I guess. Ill post a pic of it when I get home.

[mitsuman]

WOOT  WOOT

Thanks drorangejuicer!

[reson8er]

My Fake Rondo of Blood

Some things the photos don't show
1. The back of the disc is blue like CDR used to be.
2. The "Instructions" are actually just a color print of the front and back of the manual and is blank if you open it.

Oh this isn't mine, it's a copy I bought off eBay a long, long time ago. I'm Posting it here because I recently replace it with the real deal and thought it would be cool to show the copy.

Local pickup.  $105 for all.  I'm pretty much only buying hardware these days.

Dude, that's a lot of money. I could have scanned the boxes for you (but I got rid of the cable package  eons ago).

I just got one of the extension cables just a month ago sealed. Pretty cheap too $25. Not so sealed anymore though

Wow have things gotten expensive!
I'm glad other collectors got what they wanted for their collection, but...the dollar signs...the $$$$$!!!!
Ack!

Well, better now than later/never.  Prices will only keep going up and finding anything brand-new/sealed is a must get.

I remember getting Jackie chan for a $1 loose.  Good times.
