Hmmm... thank you for telling me.

Thank you for the link.

I don't know if I should have specified but I am looking to buy the original.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB manual for King of Casino]

I just picked up the HuCard and jewel case.

I'm looking to buy the manual.

Last night I tried the other game I bought and it worked perfect. It sounds like there is something wrong with Sidearms and I am going to have to return it.

I'm relieved that there isn't anything wrong with the system.

Almost sounds like the select button is stuck in place? Maybe a controller issue or a cracked solder joint on one of the Controller port pins. Easily fixed bu just re-flowing some solder on the pins.

Hitting Run and Select together is what's used to restart a game.

Okay I did not know that. Unfortunately I currently have no way of soldering. I did notice that the board where the button sensors are seemed dirty. Could I take a q-tip with rubbing alcohol and clean the board?

Someone on this forum refereed me to this section because I might have a problem with my pad. Does this sound like an issue with a button possibly being stuck because I didn't put the pad back exactly right? My original post is below.

I slide the HuCard in and power the TG16 on the game comes right up. The audio is fine. The game is Sidearms and when I press RUN it goes to the next screen to start the intro but then it jumps back to the title screen. The strange thing is if I press RUN again quickly after the intro is about to start it also goes back to the title screen. I also noticed sometimes when I do that the High Score changes.

Is the game bad or is it the system?

I do have another game coming in the mail today but I won't be able to test it with the system until I get home from work later.

Maybe select button is being held down, sounds like a reset(Run+Select). Clean the contacts? Try diff pad?

I did open the pad and clean it prior to testing the game. I also cleaned the contacts on the game with rubbing alcohol but I haven't cleaned the connects on the system yet.

Someone was suggesting Deoxit for the contacts but I thought it was best to stay away from harsh cleaners like brass cleaner.

2) I value a game on what I want to pay for a game.

I mean just what you said in the quote above.  You value the games based on what you are willing to pay.  I have been playing video games since I got my NES back in 1989 and it was the Commodore 64 before that.  So I'm not in this for the fortune or the niche fame.  I never heard of that site till about a year go.

Honestly I had a simple question basically about the outer box on TG-16 games.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG-16 Games Complete Question]

Those are all valid points but to be fair I don't think I was looking at it as the Bible. 

I have to ask two things now though.  First, when you speak badly of that site is it stricly based on the light that it puts the TG-16 in or as a whole?  Second, what do you guys use to help figure value on TG-16?  I ask that second question being fully aware that there really is no market for game collecting.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG-16 Games Complete Question]

CrackTiger thanks for that information I had no idea.  Like I said as far as I know that website is pretty standard for all gamers and collectors.

I agree with you on what is "truly" complete.  I was asking because last week I think it was I was looking on Ebay for TG-16 game lots.  I came across a Buy It Now for 4 games that were missing everything but the outer box and the total was around $100.  That didn't seem to steep to me but it made me wonder how to view TG-16 games as far as complete is concerned.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG-16 Games Complete Question]

Complete would mean that the game is complete with everything it had when new at retail ( box, case, manual, huey, sleeve, foam filler strip, advertising inserts, etc.).

Thanks NecroPhilemancer it makes sense.  I was just curious because to this point I haven't seen many TG-16 with the jewel case and outer box as well.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG-16 Games Complete Question]

Ok, I didn't even know what that site was...

Really?  I thought that site was common knowledge.

I guess I wasn't asking so much asking how "they" rank or categorize it but more as in how maybe you guys look at it as a whole.  If that makes sense.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / TG-16 Games Complete Question]

Well as you can probably tell I am new here and I am looking to get into the TG-16.  I as most I am sure never had one when I was younger and it seems that in face fuels the want for one now.

I am going to start looking for a TG-16 system very soon and I had a question about buying the games.  What constitutes a complete TG-16 game? I know that brand new the games had an outer cardboard box. 

My question is as far as getting pricing from http://videogames.pricecharting.com/ does a TG-16 need to have the out cardboard box to be considered complete or as long as it has the jewel case with the manual enough?
