WTB: 6 Complete US TG16/SuperCD games.

Well, if it's being flipped, at least it's paired with a bootleg and not used to get an extra $1000 paired with a loose HuCard.

I actually think it was an extra and sold at a loss, I got it for 10 bucks anyways. I think the original pricing was like 12 or something like that, but I don't recall now. Still, really nice box

Has anyone noticed that he's buying sealed games? Like that Monster Lair is sealed, that Air Zonk is sealed, that silent debuggers, the riot zone he posted about early in the thread.

That's what he was doing when he first showed up to show off his hauls. He opens them when he's ready to play them, which infortunately has taken a back seat to collecting.

I also have a lot of sealed games that replaced incomplete or missing titles that I needed. I'm trying to save opening them for a video series I'm working on.

The big difference between us though, is that I paid the imaginary "wishful thinking" prices that people like pp say don't exist or you'd have to wait "forever" for.

goldenpp72 · 06/19/2016, 01:13 PM

Actually none of those games are sealed, i'm actually quite surprised someone would be that easily tricked by Air Zonk, considering it's just one of those game protector wrappers with an adhesive seal. Monster lair is not only not sealed, but I bought the disc/plastic case from Jello here, and the box itself from someone else. It does however have shrink wrap around the box, so I could see being confused. None of them are sealed though, whoever sold them to the people I bought them from just kept the wrapper on. The Splatterhouse coming my way also has the shrink wrap, but is not sealed. I'd be shocked if most people here don't have something like that.

I believe on TG16, I only own a few sealed titles out of the 90 I have, and they were sold at a fair, used price. Keep on trying though, for real. I don't buy new games though, not unless the price is the same as used, simply because I don't want to destroy the supposed value because i decided to open it.

It's a shame people here make so many assumptions without even asking, I spent a couple hours and about 80 bucks modding Atari 5200 controllers yesterday so that I can play the system, I feel I go quite an extensive length to make sure all my stuff can be played, but then someone here diminishes all that because they spotted shrink wrap.

Yeah, right. A long time ago... Who cares?

P.S. Its been nearly a year since you bought 20 dupes or more from Oscar. Did you get a good flipping price for them? You clearly didn't offer them up to the community.

goldenpp72 · 06/19/2016, 05:38 PM

I could be absolutely wrong, but I don't imagine anyone who started buying on Turbo when I did was likely to run into enough sweet deals to amass the titles I wanted to find in their entirety. The issue is that while you might get a few great deals being frugal, you'll likely leave other stuff off the table forever, especially as things trend in the more severe way. Look at NeoGeo, it's basically pointless to bother at this point, i'm sure people years ago thought they were crazy too.

Obviously if I knew waiting would help me save I would, but the market seems to make these quite difficult to find. Thankfully, if all you want is to play them, there are nice alternatives now like those repros or emulation.

Or imports. Many Japanese versions are still way cheaper and require zero English. I certainly wouldn't have Cotton, Bonk 3 or Soldier Blade if I were buying US copies. There are countless examples. Magical Chase is still pricey for a Japanese hu, but it's pennies compared to a US copy. Plus there are so many great games that never made it over as well.

Same here with Bonk 3. Have yet to get cotton. And what's its name. There is cotton and another similar cd shooter.

Which part is a lie? The part that you bought dupes from syphic, or the fact that they were never offered up to the community? I don't know if you flipped them after getting a great deal or not, which is why I asked. I noticed you avoided that question, just like you locked the thread last time. Maybe you flipped 'em, maybe you didn't. Who knows for sure. You desperately tried to change the conversation last time, accusing me of getting in to your personal business, just because syphic consulted me before he sold you Beyond Shadowgate.

Hell, you even admitted you had extra stuff...

Quote from: CrackTigerI've already talked about how I have been picking up pieces of games to add manuals and cases to some of my TurboChips which need them and how the remaining pieces will get added to the extras I already have to trade for some of the pieces I still need.

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the loudest voices decrying gougers was actually a secret gouger. That would be delicious irony.

Yeah, it would also validate a lot of the bullshit that comes out of your mouth. I wouldn't count on either of those things turning your way.

And can I sell you a 13% complete homebrew on a repro card with box and manual for $250? I guarantee the release and availability is extremely limited. If you don't buy it now, you will regret it years from now, not dissimilar from a new geo.

So i'm down to 9 now from the prior 11 but my funds are starting to get a bit drier, so I think i'll just be focusing on TG stuff from here as opposed to a bunch of stuff, I have a pending potential buy on the turbo express as well, so hopefully a little more luck my way.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I use a framemeister upscaler which upscales TG titles very well, the Turbo duo is modified to output in Scart and then lead into the upscaler, and no, they are played in 4:3 aspect ratio. The upscaler introduces a minor lag, but due to the fact it then outputs in a native resolution the TV doesn't need to upscale, also removes lag the TV would have otherwise introduced. That particular panel is also a very low latency panel. As for why I use an HDTV, it's because the shelf life of older tube tvs is growing shorter and the ability to repair them more limited. I have a side setup with a tube tv as well with consoles hooked up to it, but it is primarily for Light gun shooters, pictured here:

Framemeister is the best way to go

jonebone · 07/01/2016, 11:50 AM

Damn, part of me wishes I got to Jello first, wish I could have snagged some of those titles. Though I'm much more conservative in my approach, buying the whole lot at once takes some wind out of the sales.

Side note, goldenpp, you want to sell anything

goldenpp72 · 07/22/2016, 11:29 AM

Kinda took a little break from buying on TG (well is a bit dry) but I managed to snag still a few things from a couple members here in the recent weeks, figured i'd give the original post an update as i'm only missing 6 games i'd like. I figured I should also ask, does anyone here have a good resource for all the good import games? I don't plan on importing but i'd not mind buying some more reproductions from the people who sell them here over time, would be cool to know which ones are fun

If you're looking for import repros, none is more fun than "Turbo Everdrive".

Why the hell would you not import anything? Thanks for the update though. I was anxiously awaiting how much you have left to acquire. I know you're having fun playing all these games.

SignOfZeta · 07/22/2016, 06:59 PM

So...you want to buy some games that were only available as imports but instead of just doing exactly that you want someone to make repros of them?

The spreadsheet you have to keep of your labyrinthian logic must be immense. Truely you are the Henry Darger of collectards.

EDIT: "All the good import games." What a phrase. I mean, first off, that has to be code for "is there anyone better than Tobias?" If not then the dude apparently thinks there's someplace where they keep 50-60 different pirate PCE titles in production at all times. It's not like there are only three or four decent PCE games. There are more decent PCE games than there are US games period. If you only collect TG-16 you only have one weird short lived, failed export version of the PCE. The bulk of everything is PCE, therefore the bulk of "the good games" is also PCE.

deubeul · 07/23/2016, 05:50 PM

A little late, but to the OP:

25 years ago, everybody had access to the same informations.

The whole mass of sheeps chose SuperNes or Megadrive.

1% was able to read between lines, avoid marketing and were open minded enough to choose The PcE/Turbo.

The 99% of sheeps at best didn't even know of the PcE, although the console was covered by generalist magazines, or were overlooking and mocking PcE owners.

One day, the PcE became hyped, and the 99% who didn't give a shit about the PcE the day before start to collect them all, attracting scammers/hoarders, prices become obscene and certain games are now unobtainable.

Can't you understand why the 1% is pissed off?

I am personally part of this situation. I love PcE since 89, had a Duo and a GT in the 90's, then stopped for some reason. Got back in the real hardware thing in 2012 and started to collect all the games I once had and all the ones I had not. Mid-life crisis, yeah.

I participate to this madness, so I'll never show off or ask for super deals, because I understand the old timers' resentment and have nothing but respect for them. They were here and stayed true from day one.

geise · 07/23/2016, 07:09 PM

^ Respect. You chose a really bad year to get back into the pce.
