What's a fair price for these games? My local store has them for $42 US a piece. Worth it or rip off?

You should only be concerned about what a game is worth to you vs what you are able to find it for. If other people can find some titles for less but you never do, then those secret deals don't really apply to your situation. If you've never seen a particular game for any where near what it is worth to you, then just burn it or use a flashcart.

QuoteDude... you must be a troll account.

And star parodier isn't a US release.

But seriously... visit pricecharting.com and ebay sold item history. Spread the word.

A bit rude.

I never said Star Parodier was a US release. This is the PC Engine forum after all. Does a game have to be a U.S. release because it's sold in USD? If you were gonna call me out of anything I figured it'd be that I wrote Gates instead of Gate of Thunder.

And thanks for the link. I searched ebay and a few other sites but I didn't wanna base it on that since the ebay prices were all over the place and I tried Digital Press but I couldn't find either game.

Do they include spine cards? whether you care if they are included or not, a lot of buyers do, so it does effect the value.
But $42 isn't too bad each for both, I would say that is kind of the top end what they sell for. So not a bargain, but not a terrible price.

are you in hk still? using the retro game facebook page? some times hong kong can be cheaper for pc engine games ( and other retro games)  some times more expensive, especially ones with acquired local taste


note that there are rip off extortion yahoo auction seller/ stores in hk, just like ebay ( ones with hundreds of listing, but no one buys), just avoid them and go for the decent ones

example of cheaper game

https://hk.f1.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/1121132724?r=1236198469 (https://hk.f1.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/1121132724?r=1236198469)

winds ( lords of thunder) usually command in uk around gbp30/ USD40, here i brought for HK$200 ( US$25)

here ebay decent seller price, real auction

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Winds-Thunder-Turbo-Duo-JP-GAME-/311429259944?hash=item4882a162a8 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Winds-Thunder-Turbo-Duo-JP-GAME-/311429259944?hash=item4882a162a8)

local taste , Dynasty Wars/ Tenchi o Kurau (Japanese: 天地を喰らう commands high price due to cultural preferences, usually up to HK$600/ USD80, but it seems ebay prices are cheaper

while the much sought sequel on ps1 and saturn is even more expensive at HK$800 to 900 ( usd120) with spine card

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gate-Thunder-Turbo-Duo-JP-GAME-/400981930196?hash=item5d5c62b0d4 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gate-Thunder-Turbo-Duo-JP-GAME-/400981930196?hash=item5d5c62b0d4)

here is real auction of gates of thunder, ps, they will post to hk, i have used regular since 2003

Thanks for the advice. Yes I'm still in HK - can you PM me the Facebook page please? :)

Otaking: as far as I'm aware no spine cards.

I just wanted to check to make sure it was a fair price and it seems to be!

I won the Gate 4-in-1 CD for around 15 € back in 2013/2014.

Too bad the seller confused two parcels and sent me Ys I&II instead. Bad luck for me, since I already got Ys and he wasn't able to retrieve the other package. D'oh!

Oh good. Thought I was the only one.

Before I had a pc engine... I sold a copy of star parodier, that was in a Saturn lot, for $35.
