There's a vintage game place down the street that's got one for $100. If anyone wants it, I can score it for you.
I'd only be interested it it's 85% new and has been VGA graded.

Dallas,
Thanks for the offer to the forum but the whole sealed-is-worth-more concept doesn't do well here. Again, thank you for offering to help someone acquire a game though.
I was more commenting oh his avatar choice but yea tggodfrey I see where you are coming from.
a local store in my area had a boxed dungeon explorer, resealed I think for 40. what do you guys think of the price?

I don't care if you
are married to Average Lavigne, still can't trust that face.
haha, i believe we're getting a divorce now? not sure.
i went in again and the thing's brand new. haven't seen something in that condition locally for a while. kinda neat. i'm kinda temped to buy it just so i can experience the joy of tearing into a fresh tg box one more time. too bad it's DE, and not something i've never played before.
luckily I was able to find some sealed sports games at my local game stores for cheap.
opening a turbo game for the first time, such a good feeling.
I got my dungeon explorer, albeit used , shipped from US to UK for about £10 a year ago. Not bad

not bad at all!!!
I picked up my dungeon explorer with jewel case, manual, and no sleeve cover for the hu card for 20 bucks. I think 100 is a bit much for it

good price. but for sealed, 100 may be a tad bit high but then again who knows?
$100 for a sealed common game is ludicrous. What's stopping people from repacking a used copy with shrink wrap?

yeah you got a point there

I have worried about this for a long time, actually. I wouldn't pay $100, but if it looked in reasonably good condition anyway, I would maybe buy it around $40. I used to own Dungeon Explorer, it's one of the games that really made me embarrassed of the TG-16 cover art. Of course now it has it's nostalgic charms but as a kid...
Worse yet though on a related note, I'm worried about people making Bootleg NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. cartridges, with say like a flash rom on the inside holding the game. Again, I won't spend a lot on most games so its probably not an issue, but I do wonder who is getting ripped off out there. I guess that would be damn hard to do with a TG-16 / PCE hu-card, since you can't swap out the innards so easily.

I once described Dungeon Explorer's cover as "suitable for a coffee shop" because it is so bland.
It's not the worst, but it is bland, and for such a great game, it deserved an extra something (even a really kool title/logo art would have helped improve that coverart).
Chad Kroeger tipped him off! :)

Yeah, agreed. Shame! One of the great memorable soundtracks from the TG-16 library for me, and a heck of a lot fun. I tried to get two friends to play it with me recently (all in our 30's now) and it didn't go over too well mostly because I thought I remembered that you could rez dead party members at an inn or something but I guess you had to do it all in one go. They both died and I was the only survivor after the first stage, and they couldn't continue so we just stopped. I beat DE back in the day, I guess it was more of an accomplishment than I thought!
