Shoot is this is what this goes for now? hmmm I can't keep up with these things anymore.

game is underrated IMO. Lots of fun to be had with it. But it's nothing amazing either. Nice pick up for whomever grabs it up though.

According to Wolfenstein 3D guy, it goes for $1200.

I wanted to love Dragon Slayer, but the lack of spell animations really irked me. Made the turn-based battles even more boring.
For a game with CD Grafx, I expect more

CrackTiger · 09/22/2017, 01:43 PM

I love Dragon Slayer and the speed of the battles along with many of the hits are very satisfying. Optional animations and misc effects would be nice, but they didn't look great in most JRPGs that generation and quickly became a pain to sit through.

I also love the enemy designs, color and pixelart. Again, too many games have boring and unoriginal enemies. When you have a solid style, it doesn't matter if your game features lots of stereotypical creatures.

The optional custom leveling system is also really nice and would be considered revolutionary in a SNES game with a SYSTEM title.

I did not like DSII though.

That's all sorta messed up

CrackTiger · 09/22/2017, 04:04 PM

He totally had several deals lined up on nintendoage, but buyers kept backing out at the last minute. So you still have a chance to scoop it up at an all time fairest market value.

seieienbu · 09/22/2017, 05:30 PM

I think I paid either $40 or $24 for this game on here about 4 years ago. I think Dragon Slayer is pretty good but I think $100 is a bit steep for it. Maybe I'm just out of touch with the market though.

Fleabay has it avg'in for $125 so I dropped it a bit below that.

Sigh. A sign of the times I guess.

Keith Courage · 09/22/2017, 06:17 PM

Yeah, $100 is a fair price for this game now. I've seen a few go around $125 on ebay in the past month.

Dicer · 09/22/2017, 07:08 PM

You guys always get a bit knocked off, can't say the same for anyone else lol.

turboswimbz · 09/22/2017, 07:34 PM

for the record I didn't think you were gauging, I just hadn't realized this game went so high in 3-4 years.

NoSexGex · 09/22/2017, 09:50 PM

Amazeball game!

Good luck on the sale, it's priced very fair IMO. like keef said, they're selling for more elsewhere

Gypsy · 09/24/2017, 12:23 PM

Yeah the price is fine but sucks at the same time, if that makes sense.

in99flames · 09/24/2017, 01:00 PM

Yea I can vouch for Dicer on this. Its a good price to what it goes for now. Dicer is a good person to deal with as well. I sold him something and he offered a reach-around as part of payment. I didnt even ask! Naturally i accepted.....hmm maybe i shouldnt have disclosed this.

Price is good comparative to what others are currently being sold for, but sucks because it's still $100

Wait a minute. Hold up. I had a brand new sealed mint copy. I was never expecting to get $1,200. And the key word is had. I was trying to get between $400 - $500. Had a few bites around that price but nothing stuck so I ended up selling it to a sealed collector for around $250. That was a few years ago now at least.

We regularly get people complaining about how it's so hard to find uncommon Turbo games, so many specific games, Turbo games outside of ebay and Turbo games at decent prices. But they often come up like this here and nobody show any interest.

turboswimbz · 10/02/2017, 04:11 PM

True BT. I'd have bought more of your games, but I simply don't have that much money to spend on luxury items. (which is a paining me based on your super fair deals) I'd have also been all over this at 100, but I already have a copy which I play through every now and then. (25 less than evil bay is pretty down right decent + the knowledge of a decent seller)

Wonder if it's because most members have most of the games already that they really want. I don't own every turbo game I want but I have enough that I am not super tempted to buy them all the time.
I already own Dragon Slayer and love it and agree the OP price is really fair.

It would make more sense if sales threads that rotted for a while before finally selling didn't get a bunch of "I can't believe I missed this!" comments afterward.

LostFlunky · 10/02/2017, 07:37 PM

There was a dry spell where there wasn't a lot of publicly posted "deals" on PCEFX. Maybe folks got tired of waiting...

I think that a lot of lurkers who only come here looking for deals or omega rares check less frequently after dry spells.

Yes

johnnykonami · 10/03/2017, 12:10 PM

I've seen lots of stuff here lately that I would be interested in, but cannot indulge due to a combination of life priorities and prices going up in general. I think prices from long time members here are fair for the record, and honestly my only true idea of what these games are worth now. It's definitely more of a life priorities thing though, I'm pretty house poor these days. I still pick up a game or two now and then but I've gotta got want a game really bad to spend $200 bucks on it. I'm just here for the company these days.

Dicer · 10/03/2017, 01:30 PM

At the end of the day I could simply stuff it up on eBay, BUT you guys have been good to me so I always give the forum folks first grab then if it doesn't go then I toss it to the general public.

I wouldn't be selling this stuff at all if things were working in my favor currently but I keep getting road(not cock thankfully)blocked.

So in essence, thanks guys...and BUY MY SHIT

Same here.

I have actually spent more money on myself in the last few months than I have for the past 10-15 years (house poor).

I usually keep a strict budget, but I've cheated for 3 months.

It's looking like I'm going to have to part with a few more games that I wasn't planning to. I'm going to start moving everything to eBay after I get home on Monday.

At least some games made it to good homes.

I see Tonma's gone, but I'm still interested in the Ghost Manor.

.... I shoulda sent a PM.

Dicer · 10/20/2017, 06:24 PM

One final "for realz this time" price drop before I slap it on eBay.

NecroPhile · 10/20/2017, 06:42 PM

It's sweet Falcom, in English, and at a dang good price from a good member, so how is this thing still here a month later?!?

MNKyDeth · 10/20/2017, 07:34 PM

Agreed Necro... This is imo a must own game if you are into RPGs on this system. Especially since it's actually in English.

It's a solid but standard old school romp with a pretty good story. Oh and the voice acting is pretty funny and/or good too depending how you take it.

Gypsy · 10/20/2017, 08:24 PM

If I were looking for this game I'd be all over it. Hope someone here gets it...

seieienbu · 10/22/2017, 12:41 AM

in99flames · 10/27/2017, 11:34 AM
