Glad to hear it, hope you enjoy them.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

I am 99% sure that this is a Sparky label that someone put on a KC case. I have a set of the stickers here with me at work, looked at the Final Lap Twin sticker and they look identical, except that one is a bit roughed up.

I don't think it's a Sparky, I think he just made it himself. Look at his other auctions.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

This little bit of stupidity really takes the cake: $49 opening price ($99 BIN) for an alleged factory error where a Final Lap Twin label was applied to a Keith Courage case.  First off, who gives a shit?  Second, I bet it's homemade.  And third, who give a shit?!?

Check his other auctions! This is the same dude who sells the custom made cases. Seems pretty obviously that he made this himself. What a total asshat.

I've got to join in and say that Double Dungeons is one of the best 2-player experiences I've had on the Turbo. Zooming through the dungeons and building up levels and equipment to take down the tougher non-random monsters that guard the way to the more advanced parts of each dungeon is a great time. It's fine as a single-player game, but having a friend along makes it into a race to see who gets the best weapons/finds the boss first. I also like how every time you encounter the other player, the text box always displays the other guy's name with an exclamation point.

Plus, like many other first person dungeon crawls, the lack of an auto-map combined with the huge size of the later dungeons means this game can seriously improve one's spatial awareness with extended play.

The other game I had to mention is Last Alert. Sure the voice overs are goofy but there is some solid run 'n gun action to be had.   
 

The goofy voiceovers are part of what MAKE Last Alert great. They're just awesome.

Cool Stuff BMW. I played the Lynx when I was a kid and never got one though. I saw a bunch of Lynx games the other day for pretty cheap and was going to pick them up but passed. Are you going to play these? I played kung food. It was um.... interesting....

If I can find a system I'll play them.  I feel kind of bad since 9 of those 10 games are sealed, but hey games are meant to be played!

There's a local game store in my area that is selling a Lynx, 5 games (I think) and an Atari Lynx branded carrying case for $60. Let me know if you're interested and I'll get you the store's contact info.

I think it looks pretty great, but I'm concerned about hand cramps. I can't play any of the portables for more than 20-30 minutes without my hands turning into claws.

Well, Marll on here will vouch for me and I've done some trades on the evilavatar.com forums, but they don't have any kind of ranking system. I've posted this stuff on the Racketboy forums as well and Stark over there will vouch for me. Honestly, most of the buying/selling I've done in the past has been through craigslist, eBay, or Glyde.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Phades Game Mart - All prices include shipping - Make Offers]

30 dollars shipping?!  ur nuts

It looks like he "revamped" the prices, so if that's the case it looks like he wants $150 shipped for the system etc

That's it exactly. The 180 shipped was before I redid everything and was a package deal. The system is now $150 shipped. I'm still open to package deals. I'm including shipping in the individual prices so obviously as a package it'd be cheaper.

I won't argue that I'm not nuts though.... ;)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Phades Game Mart - All prices include shipping - Make Offers]

Completely revamped. New stuff, new prices.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Turbo Grafx 16 w CD Attachment, System Card, Games]

Realized I didn't have a CD game on there, added Last Alert.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What games do you love that you think others give short shrift?]

I think Keith Courage is underrated.. I played through and beat that game the first night I got my Turbo Grafx 16 and loved every minute of it. I'm still sore they never released the sequel they promised in the end credits.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Turbo Grafx 16 w CD Attachment, System Card, Games]

I'll do $180 shipped.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Turbo Grafx 16 w CD Attachment, System Card, Games]

I'd rather not split it up. I really don't need another TG16 system-only sitting around. Already have an extra
But.... that said, make an offer..

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS - Turbo Grafx 16 w CD Attachment, System Card, Games]

Well, I'd like to get in the $150-$200 range I think but I haven't really researched it a ton. I picked it up for $250 a while back but decided to go with a Duo.

The CD-ROM has some scratches on it, but works great. Haven't had any problems with it at all. Does not have the warm-up problem.

I can take some more pictures if you'd like.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Phades Game Mart - All prices include shipping - Make Offers]

Shipping included on purchases over $20. Less than that and you pay actual shipping, probably $2-$3 I'm guessing.

[Fighting Street / Re: Membership has its privileges.. the "F@ck EBAY Club" card]

Sign me up! I had a decent TG-16 collection back in the early 90's but have recently started collecting again. I can't believe the prices for some of this stuff.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Galaxy Policewoman Legend Sapphire Booties - Free! (donations accepted though)]

Oh man.... those inserts look awesome. Do want!!!

BTW Sparky, I was given one of your case stickers for my Order of the Griffin. Amazing work.

I wonder if my receiver is just really good at cancelling out the feedback? Does your new receiver do it still?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: This is not good...the docking station won't turn on]

Ok.... this is interesting news. I have a buddy that just picked up a "broken" cd dock off of eBay for $20 with no CD player. I'm curious now if the locking bit just needed to be turned. That'd be super cool if that's all it was. I'll have to let him know. Thanks guys!

Also, been lurking forever. Glad I can finally post!
