FYI, VideoGameTrader that is listed in Brick, NJ has now moved to Buford, GA.

Wow, what a waste.
That TG looks like it's on life support.. someone needs to pull the plug.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Just completed my Turbografx-16 Collection!]

Congrats!  Like most have said so far, this was actually a collection video I wanted to watch til the end.  You seem like a cool guy and am glad you did it!
13 years though, damn!  I've got a ways to go.

I'm glad to see someone else shadow box when they get new games lol

Looks like he skipped over a lot.  No mention of any system outside of what was "popular."

I'm surprised the Saturn was even featured..

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New collector to TG-16!]

Yup I am

Right on, we've got a few deals under our belt on NA.  Cremorecs here.

Welcome aboard!  Now please don't turn into one of those guys that buys a bunch of overpriced games in an attempt to amass a complete collection in two weeks, just to turn around and try to sell it all here at a profit on the third week.

No sir, I plan on buying them as cheaply as possible and then stashing them away until I end up on Hoarders. 
I actually think that is a horribly stupid way of conducting business and am 100% behind the public shunning those people have gotten.

I do a fair share of selling on eBay, Gamegavel and Nintendoage myself just so it's known, but that couldn't be farther from the reason why I joined here.  I'm a collector first and my growing interest in TG-16/Duo brought me here as it appears to be a great resource for all things NEC.  I really just want to bro down about games and maybe do some trading.  I think jacking up prices and trying to sell (or pull a fast one on) to the most knowledgeable crowd is pretty effin' stupid.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New collector to TG-16!]

Are you the same psychobear on NA?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New collector to TG-16!]

I don't think any of the PC Engine games had anything other that the jewel cases (and possibly spine cards on CD games).  What types of games do you like?

I like all kinds, not really one genre in particular.  Probably platformers, action adventure and rpg would be highest on my list.

There are some games with special cardboard packages (f.e. 3x3 eyes & VHS tape, forgotten worlds w/ Ave 3 button pad, mahjong stuff etc.) for the pce. most of the retail CD games come with a spine. there are also two hucards with extra spine. those are street fighter II' and populous.

Very cool, thanks!

Welcome to Pcenginefx!

I do have a couple of CIB's in my trade thread which you might be interested in if you take a look.  I also have a sealed Bravoman not listed there which might be tradeable/saleable.  Just PM me if interested in anything.

Thanks!  You've got some cool stuff there.  Already have New Adv. Island and I don't have a whole lot of trade bait just yet (Keith Courage w/ comic & Falcon CIB.. woohoo!) but I'd be interested in some of those sealies.  I'll send you a pm this evening when I have a bit more time to look through it all.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New collector to TG-16!]

I jump to a lot of stereotypes when I read statements like these, but I'll try not to be combative. Maybe you can enlighten me or define what collecting means to you: if you don't have any nostalgia for these games and you don't know what their complete state looks like, why pay four times as much for complete games? It sounds like you're committing to pay for stuff you don't know exists. This is an especially strange choice if you're facing an uphill battle for the remainder of a CIB NES set.

IMO, ignorance is bliss. Why not casually enjoy some undiscovered TG loosies and cheap PCE imports while shoveling money into the impossible NES set?

Perhaps I should have been more clear.  The US TG-16 library itself I'm pretty familiar with and minus Magical Chase is a pretty easy and obtainable system to collect for.  Although some things are pulling stupid holiday ebay prices, for the most part the games are all under $100 CIB w/ cardboard outers, etc.  I'm aware that all the TG-16 games had cardboard outer boxes and that all but the later releases (New Adv. Island, Magical Chase, Falcon, etc.) had the jewel cases instead of the plastic trays a la Game Gear/Gameboy.  I should have stated more clearly that I was interested in knowing which CD releases both US and Japanese had cardboard outers and what they were packaged with.  That's new ground to me.

I would like to obtain a complete in box TG-16 set for fun because I like a majority of the games I've played so far although it's still fairly new and exciting to me.  I'm a completionist, that's just how I am.  It would bother me to have the loose hu card when I can try a little harder to score a complete in box version of the same game for a fair price.  I like the hunt just as much as playing the games. 

Anything else, import TG-16, US or foreign CD based games is a different story.  I'd just like to find out about some fun ones worth playing/having because that realm I am completely ignorant in.  Again, I'd like them to be complete because that's how I am (whether it seem foolish or not) and I'm just not sure what came with what.  I'm not interested in having everything in these categories, just some of the better ones.

As far as sticking to the NES, I'm kind of I need of a small break.  I've been completely going with local finds only for that as of late to make it more interesting and I also just moved recently so everything's kind of boxed up still.  That combination is making me want to take a small little break and try something new for a short stint.

Hope that makes sense and I didn't ramble on too much.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New collector to TG-16!]

Thanks, you as well!

Speaking of which, is there a master list somewhere which has all the games with cardboard outers? I'm a bit of a completionist and this is all new ground for me.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New collector to TG-16!]

Ha thanks! 
I love Adv. Island and Master Higgins is my homeboy.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / New collector to TG-16!]

Hey all, I'm new to TG-16/CD collecting and gaming for that matter.  I got a bunch of TG-16 games locally and got the itch to start collecting.  I was always a Nintendo and Sega fan but never really gave anything NEC a chance.  Now I'm glad I have!  Just upgraded to a US Duo system and got Rondo of Blood and have been avidly playing for the past week or so. 

Anyhow, I'm new to NEC but not to collecting.  I'm about 3/4 of the way through a CIB/sealed Nes set, and have decent chunk of some other systems as well.  Been on nintendoage since about 2006.  It's great to have so many games from that era still be "new" for me with the TG-16.

I'm interested mostly in CIB TG-16 games w/ the cardboard outers and would love to trade with people here. 
Here's a link to what I have so far..

I don't want to ruffle any feathers being that this is my first post and I've read the recent thread on buying/selling with noobs around here (ouch!).  But if anyone can recommend some must have games in the CD format or import hu cards by all means please do! 

Thanks!
