Hello everyone just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Chris, and I am an avid retrogamer. I've been into mostly NES and SNES for a long time. As a child my family did have a turbografx 16, which I still have, and its becoming more and more my favorite. As a big videogame fan, I do a lot of looking at flea markets and sometimes yard sales, yet I have never seen any turbo stuff other than keith courage. Figured I would start out here to learn a bit more because I love turbo stuff. I would also like to take a quick moment to say I am a gamer first, a collector second, and not a reseller ever. I see multiple resellers at every flea market selling there games at high or higher than ebay prices and just want to punch them.
A couple things that I have are a US TG16 system and a Japanese Duo-R. I have about 10-15 games, nothing really rare. My favorites are shooters and platformer/action games. My top 3 favs that I own and have played are gate of thunder, blazing lazers, and legendary axe 2.
Anyways I wanted to say a quick hello, and so far everyone I have talked to has been very nice. I will be at the VGS on Saturday, and would like to meet anyone in person who is there.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting people Saturday.
Welcome aboard, Chris. Have fun at VGS. :mrgreen:

I don't think I've seen that one unless it was a reseller, but if I find it for a steal consider it yours. You are looking for the first one??

I'm looking for both, but I'll settle on just the first one since the second is ridiculously hard to find. A friend and I used to play the crap out of Pocky & Rocky when we were little and the only two times since then that I've seen it in the wild were 1.) Someone grabbing it out from under me and 2.) for $50 at a local shop one of the times I was low on cash.

I know the feeling. Gotta love old games you played as a child that have skyrocketed in price. I've been trying to find wild guns forever now. Showed up to a yard sale and someone was already buying a $20 lot of games with it in there. Almost cried.
Hey Chris, it was nice meeting you at the VGS. You were a formidable competitor in the tournaments, especially in the Bomberman 94 and Tatsujin competitions. :)
For those of you that attended, Chris was the guy wearing the red Chicago Bulls jersey.

OMG don't even get me started on Wild Guns. (I'm gonna start anyway)
They had it at a local shop (now closed) for cheap, but I didn't know what it was. After I got home that day from shopping, I kept thinking about the name "Wild Guns... Wild Guns.." So I looked it up on youtube, I thought it was awesome.
Then looked up what it normally goes for, I was shocked to see (at the time) it was going for around $90. At that shop it was $20-30, can't remember exact price. So, of course I went back and it was gone. Bah. Bah, I say, bah.
I personally blame Mike Matei's SNES hidden gem video for that game's inflated price, but whatevs It would've eventually went up since its a sweet game.

You get one pass on not wearing a purple Malone jersey... forum rules.
Welcome aboard!

AVGN has the same effect on bad games. I wonder how much he's pushed up the price of action 52, not to mention that one's rare to begin with. I'm also pretty sure Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is going for around $10 now.

Jekyll and Hyde selling for more than free is a travesty. lol
