*UPDATE* I've been busy the past month but got a chance to clean up what's left of the collection and slash prices. I've moved everything that is still up for sale to the top of the collection.

Everything was kept in the utmost care as received, stored in a smoke free home, ships from the US (CA), and guaranteed to work.

I will do my best to detail everything and will be happy to answer all questions that come my way. Giving you guys first dibs on this stuff and will try to give you the best deals that I can. Still working on prices atm so feel free to send me any offers as you see fit. I'm open to negotiation and bundled deals. I have a positive feedback score of 805 on eBay and I'd be happy to provide my seller ID as requested. Accepting paypal only, and I am willing to ship overseas.

*Note* The prices include shipping within U.S., so if you are in the states you only have to cover the quoted price. International orders will require a bit more for shipping, and feel free to contact me for rates. I will get the best rate I can for you!

Collection

PC-Engine Duo JP - $125 SOLD to Lamekat

Works perfectly with no CD-read issues. Sound works fine. Only thing I experienced with my Duo was with the Wonder Boy In Monsterland Hu-card game. The hu-card would not load initially. I had to slide the card back a bit to get the game to work properly. There were a few other instances where loading a hu-card failed to a screen of gibberish, which resetting always resolved. Includes AV cables, adapter, and one controller pad in working condition. Some surface scratches near CD-lid opening.

One of the best aspects about PC-Engine games is the colorful artwork that adorns their manuals. The character drawings, monster art, maps, comic panels...they just add another level to the game for me.

On that note, I'm looking for a few manual scans of games I have yet to own. A big thank you to Ikermel of http://www.videogameden.com/index.htm for the manuals he has at his site....good stuff!

Here's the list of manuals I'd still like to check out:

Anearth Fantasy Stories
Aldynes
Basted
Eternal City
Dragon Knight III
Horror Story
Kiaidan 00
L-Dis
Lady Sword
Legend of Xanadu II
Liquid Kids
Lost Sunheart
Madou Monogatari
Mystic Formula
Popful Mail
Sonson II
Steam Hearts
Spriggan II
Tatsujin

I'm really just looking for character/monster art, maps, and general artwork...so if any of these lack this kind of art, that would be helpful to know as well.

Also...I have over 100 PCE games as well, so if anyone else is looking for a manual scan, feel free to post here and if I have it I'll scan and post it for you.

Arigatō  :)

Anyone know if Ghost Sweeper Mikami for PCE is the same game as the SNES version?

It's called Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar by Disasterpeace. I've just stumbled upon it an hour ago and my mind has been obliterated by it's beauty. My only wish is that there was a game to go along with this score.

Anyone able to recommend other good chiptune albums?

Sold the entire lot.

Does anyone know of a price guide for Turbografx/Duo/PC-Engine games? Because if not, I'd like to make one. I saw a price list via search but it looked a bit outdated. Would help to avoid overpaying or to find a set value of your collections. I have a pretty good idea of what games are worth, but I'll take any help I can get. If there is interest in something like this I will get started asap.

There are two games I've never seen or heard of on the hit-japan ebay store atm....Jyantaku Knight and Jyashin Legend (pics and links below). I can't find any infos on these anywhere it seems, but I know hit-japan sometimes misspells some of the titles. I'd like to know whether either of these titles would be worth checking out. I usually hop on obscure titles anyways but these seem to be a little pricey....thanks for any info!

So I dusted off my Wii the other day and to my surprise there was a new Bonk game available in the VC store that I had no idea even existed.....SUPER BONK!  :dance:

Super Bonk was released on the SNES in 1994 and is similar in style to Bonk III. I was thrilled to learn it was published by Hudson Soft. I've read a few reviews that did not like some of the changes (for example, Bonk can turn into a Dinosaur now), but so far I am enjoying the game...it has that classic Bonk feel, with the same graphics and all the old enemies I remember bonking as a wee lad.

I've only played a few levels but it just feels great to be playing a Bonk game in 2011....this will take some of the sting off of the cancellation of Brink of Extinction for sure!

Who else has played Super Bonk? Thoughts?

Hi all,

Been awhile since I posted on here and well....recently lost a full time job.

I have a near complete Turbografx-16 CD System that is in working condition that I am thinking about selling....but having a dang hard time finding out what this thing is worth.

The system is in good shape for it's age, with a few nicks and scuffs here and there. Only piece I am missing is the original backing for the Turbografx-16. I also have the CD System Card which is not pictured.

I can't find any other auctions or sites with this for sale including the CD-ROM piece, which to me indicates this set is becoming hard to find.

Not here to try and sell or anything like that as I still love the system and wish to hold on to it....but I have to be ready to sell if the bills get too high.

So on to my question...what's this worth?

Here is a picture of the complete set:

And thank you for you help, I visit regularly but rarely post....you have an awesome community going here!  8)

Buy/Sell/Trade / Best deal for Coryoon?
07/28/2009, 06:38 PM
I am wondering if anyone has come across a decent price for Coryoon at any worldwide retailers, best I have seen so far is $130. Let me know if you see a retailer that can beat that...thanks!

I am treating this as a shot in the dark as I have looked everywhere, but if anyone has come across a copy of the U.S. Magical Chase let me know!

Thanks

Ok first off, nice to meet you guys. I have been a Turbo fan since wayyy back when the Turbografx-16 came out. *If you don't want to hear my story, scroll down for the haul!* It was the summer before my freshman year @ high school, and I had just sold my NES system in hopes of upgrading to a new system. I had a choice to make: Sega Genesis or Turbografx-16? As you all know, the TG-16 wasn't the most popular system...but the commercial got me. China Warrior and Keith Courage's graphics flashed brilliantly on the screen, while Genesis' Altered Beast kind of chugged along, nothing new.

So my Dad took me to Toys R Us in late summer of 1989. It was there that I purchased the TG-16 core unit, as well as China Warrior, Legendary Axe, Victory Run, and Blazing Lasers. I played those games to death, beating Keith Courage and Legendary Axe. I never came close to beating China Warrior or Victory run...those games were hard!

As Christmas came, so did the TG-16 CD player and Ys Book I & II. My friend and I played Ys non-stop until it was beaten. There was an NEC tip line that charged like $5 a min in those days, and I think they made a killing off of my parents phone bill. We were in complete awe of Ys. Actually talking voices! Killer graphics! Great gameplay! Awesome story!

Then a few years later the Turbo Duo was released, and I can't remember if it was NEC or TZD but one of them offered a trade in offer where you trade in your Turbo CD for a special deal on a turbo duo (think it came to $150). It also came with Gate of Thunder, Bonk 1 & 2, and Ys Book I & II. I traded in for the Duo and bought a bunch of games for it: Shape Shifter, Shadow of the Beast, Riot Zone and Terraforming. A friend later gave me Exile and Dragon Slayer, and I added many more games until the system got shelved sometime around college.

I re-discovered the system around 2004, and added even more games (my wife and I had a blast playing Bonk 3) until I sold the whole system and games on ebay in 07 for a measly $600 (a move I regret to this day).

Fast forward to June of this year. I now have a PS3, Xbox 360, and a Wii....but craving a Duo. I have missed all these old games in their 16 bit glory. I went ahead and sold a bunch of stuff on ebay and made around $450. I promptly went out and bought a Turbografx w/CD player and a few games for $150. Great deal, but I was bummed that I could not find a Duo at a decent price (the US Duo's were insanely priced, mostly $600 and up), so I decided to buy a PC Engine Duo for another $150. This way I could play super CD's and also play all the pc engine hu's I never got a change to play. I am now proud of my brilliant move, as the PC Engine Duo is the way to go. I ordered from Hit-Japan, and they hooked me up with a slew of games at @ $5 each. I also ordered a few hu's from Jump to Japan and they gave me a deal as well, and shipped promptly.

So now for my Haul:

Turbografx-16 w/CD player, Turbo Pad and 2 controllers

Bonk's Adventure
Legendary Axe
Legendary Axe II
Cyber-Core
Keith Courage
Cosmic Fantasy 2
Fighting Street
Exile
Sidearms
Cadash
Ghost Manor
Parasol Stars

PC Engine Duo w/Turbo Pad and 2 controllers

Atomic Robo Kid
Heavy Unit
Son of Dracula
Saint Dragon
Legend of Xanadu
Death Bringer
War of the Dead
Necromancer
Rastan Saga 2
Marchen Maze
Browning
Barunba
Legend of the Valkyrie
Tales of Monster Path
Momotaro Katsugeki
Cross Wiber
Dragon Saber
Jimmu Densho Yaksa
Rabio Lepus Special

All of this was purchased for around $500...so I am feeling like I hit the jackpot! Again nice to meet you guys and hope to add my knowledge (and gain even more) in the pc engine world.
