It's over.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

What did the last complete one actually sell for? Not trying to pick a fight, just curious.

~$5500

[Arkhan Asylum]

The last one with game/sleeve/manual/custom case sold for $637, but surely the box makes it worth 10x as much.  Who cares what it's sold for before anyway?  You must have teh rarez to complete your collection.  Damn the cost, full speed ahead!!!

Because that's where people base their prices off of. What the fuck man, there are a few cool people here but some of you are just assholes. If you don't have it then no need to reply and if it's not worth that much then where are the people who want to cash in on my crazy offer?

It's really funny when someone who will pay 5000$ for a mediocre shooter calls everyone else assholes.

That game isn't worth it.  Import the Japanese one and use the rest of the money on something useful instead of perpetuating stupidity by paying the retard price.

mossman43, you have to understand this place (here comes sparkys same old speech)

This is a haven for collectors/but mostly for gamers....the last place for fair and reasonable prices and this community makes sure of that with its straight up and tell you advice, you are not to first to ride the rail, as people here are just sick of it and ebay and other fucking forums that are more for collectors and for bragging rights of what they have. It sounds like you play yours but at any cost.

May i ask if your short just the one game where have you bought your games recently? ebay?... if so that is fine but your best to stick over there with your mind set.

best of luck, but with $5000 i could put that towards a 82 vette i have my eye on

fuck all that, lets talk about this Vette. also this is the place where we are mostly against the high ass bids on shit that will just bubble. but we actually play the stuff. so when you start a thread like this, it NEVER ends well.

whats the grading on that?

[mossman43]

I get my games wherever I can. It's not just TG-16/PCE, but very console from the NES up. Unfortunately, this is the one that no matter what, I can't find. I was trying to buy from a collector here if anyone was willing to sell it. I play everything too. Sometimes it's for minutes because the game is bad, and others I finish because I enjoy them. That's what I was saying earlier about games like stadium events..the game is shit and nobody plays it, but it commands huge money. If I wanted that game I could make a call and get it from a friend I have that owns a store. Magical Chase is a game that not one collector around me has that I know of. What am I to do? I come here and offer big money because it's near impossible to acquire. I didn't come here with the intentions of over paying, I just figured it couldn't be touched unless it was for eBay money.

[Tatsujin]

Yeah, what don't you get? I didn't have money back then. I have money now due to me paying for school then. And yes I did buy things and you know what, had to sell them after just to get one book that I needed that I could no longer afford at the time. And now I reap the rewards and can do pretty much whatever I want as well as buy what I want!

If you're willing to pay 5000$ for Magical Chase, and think it's OK to do so, you should go back to school.

[mossman43]

You asked a question and I answered, chief, and the rest is reiterating your own words.  You don't know what it's worth (ebay searching is sooo tough!) and you don't care because you can

I searched completed listings...none showed up.

[mossman43]

I wasn't able to find any completed on ebay, either.  I seem to recall the last auction I witnessed ended north of $7k... There is a thread on these forums named something like "another magical chase on ebay". In it, you should be able to find a pretty detailed account of MC's price climb from 3 to four figures since 2007.

Holy Shit!! I'd hate to see what you guys would say to that buyer!

[BlueBMW]

Keep in mind there are only around 300 copies of US Magical Chase potentially in existence.  Probably less as some no doubt have been lost or destroyed over time.

And then you have the people that have it, but will never let it leave their collection, so take those off of the number as well. 300 was much less than I expected though. Watch what this sells for in a couple more years...

Ya beams don't say that, or to anyone as now it's going up to $8 grand on eBay

[Flare65]

I remember buying MC new when it came out and selling it when I was a broke and pennyless college student in the late 90's on ebay for about $96.00 if I remember correctly (also sold a mint condition Vasteel, complete with slip cover for $34.00 around the same time...) 

Yeah, I wish held on to it and it would be nice to have it as the center piece of my gamming collection today, but I never thought any TG16 stuff would ever be worth anything.  Wrong! 

On the plus side of things, after I sold the games it gave me a break from Ramen Noodles for a while when I was in college.

I heard that number was inflated and about 5 2/3 copies exist.

I think that 300 number was from the print run thread we had a while back, where some employee knew things that no one else knew.  Specifically, the game sold poorly, most were returned and destoyed...  as was common practice w/ excess stock.

Sources...  But of course I could be wrong...   

I wasnt trying to validate the high price just provide a possible explanation as to why it is so difficult to find at all.

[wildo2ne]

Can't we cut this guy some slack, he offered more then a fair amount for the game. There is no reason to beat up on the guy just because he is a lurker, some people are not much for contributing and instead read and absorb.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Anyone who pays 5000$ for a game is an idiot.   Go buy the Japanese one.  Who cares if the graphics "aren't as good"

the games still just as run of the mill.

The amount of Japanese in the game is so minimal it does not affect gameplay at all.

Tough guy?  Calling you an idiot for obvious reasons doesn't make me a tough guy.   It's just me calling you an idiot.

Settle for shit?  It's the same game with "better" graphics, depending on your taste.    The gameplay is the same either way, and the game is not really that great either way, either.

As for "I can't read that shit"

It's a fucking horizontal shooter.   What do you need to read?  You're just demonstrating that you're a giant poseur.


you also are starting to sound like Nintega or Validus.

There was a time when the 2007 prices were something I would eventually pick up. Now this is never going to happen for me and my Everdrive will do just fine. Lol $5K that's insane

It is indeed insane. Believe me, id much rather get it cheaper, but really isn't an option at this point. I need it and it's going to cost me a lot of money to get.

Oh but you can. Cremate the Hu with you...also driving up the price as you die.

Just a lot right now...HuCards an't gold or real estate <- things that have always held real world worth. I believe in the system of supply and demand, the collectors(aka demand) will die or move on to other things to collect. I remain loyal to the one true god and wait it out.

Plus, MC is just one game and there is so much more on Turbo to play...("One woman, with many faces")

It sucked IMO. Granted the traditional animation is smooth, but as a whole, the movie just wasn't good. Bakshi has done much better work than Cool World; Fire and Ice being a good example.

Mossman, if you had read the link I had posted in the first page: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9653.0
the response from the other members on your thread should not have been surprising.

Like others have said, most of us resent the the state the turbo market is in. People like you are part of the problem who are willing to pay almost anything for games.

If you are truly a fan of this system, demonstrate it by participating in the discussions. If you are here just to acquire or peddle your games/warez, then just leave!

What are you going to do, WildoDildo?  Stick a gat in someone's face again?  You should go back to lurking; it's better for all of us.

And LOL @ "I need it".  The fiscal irresponsibility demonstrated by today's youngin's is staggering.  Just because you have the ability to pay for something does not mean that you can "afford" it or should buy it.  And please trust me when I tell you that no one here is going to sell you that game.  First of all, get the fuck in line.  Second, no one here is going to sell it to someone who just wants it for shelf-candy, especially when that person is some lurking poser who only collects Turbo shit to be incrementally cooler than their too-cool-for-school friends who think that they're being "different" for playing NES instead of modern games.

Fucking hipsters.  Only thing worse is a hipster with a high-limit credit card and an entry-level middle-class job,  which I'm sure is what Mr. Moneybags here has.

Hey OP there are many beautiful games you can get for 1% the price of magical chase. Instead of holding out for MC play greats like parasol stars, legendary axe 2 and ENJOY them.

My financial situation is great. I don't need tips from you, but thanks anyway. You know why I have the money to spend? Because I have no vices other than video games. I buy to play but even if the games suck, I keep them. I'm one game away for the complete us hucard collection and it happens to be the most expensive one. What do you want me to do to get it? You can stand in line....I'm going to buy it soon.

[CGQuarterly]

BBBBBZZZZZZTTTTTT.  Wrong.  If you were buying it to play it, you'd just stick with the Japanese version.  At least be honest with yourself about why you're buying it.  Firstly, to look at on the shelf, and secondly because you think you can flip it for more money in a few years.

[mossman43]

Which if I could, then it would be a good investment. Fortunately, I don't have to sell shit because I don't need the money. If something were to happen and it depended on the wellness of my family, then fuck yes I would sell it. But it would be sold at a loss if need be as well. I just played the Japanese version because I got it in today. It's pretty good gameplay wise, but I can't obviously read any of it. Again, it's easy to sit here and talk shit, but if you actually knew me personally, you would respect the things I do. Don't pretend to know me bud, because you don't.

[Tatsujin]

It's pretty good gameplay wise, but I can't obviously read any of it.

Again, your statement is most invalid..tell us where there is any need of reading anything in that game?

in the shop? just choose a random weapon and look what it does. or if you too dumb for that, use this screen:



story can be read here: wayback.gamefiles.alphacoders.com/boxart/4108-1.jpg

[CGQuarterly]

That's fine, but again I'll say that you are on a fool's errand here.  As has already been stated, the Turbo market has gone crazy because people like you are willing to pay whatever because you "need" these games.  Just about all of us here maintain game libraries because we love old games, not because we collect them like stamps.  Because when they game becomes that valuable, it's no longer practical to spend the money when all you want to do is play it.  Especially when it's Japanese counterpart is so much cheaper.  Or you could just buy a Turbo Everdrive, which would allow you to play it (in English) while still having the Japanese version to fill the hole in your collection.  So anyone who is willing to spend $5k on a game is either:

A: Filthy Rich.
B: Incredibly irresponsible.
C: Speculating.

Unless you're "A", you aren't going to get much play here.  As has already been pointed out to you, we tend to resent people like you for the reason that I and others have already stated.  You would be better off taking your request somewhere like the Neo-Geo forums, or just wait until one pops up on eBay.

Thanks. Nope not dumb, just prefer the version that was released for me. I was able to use the shop, but still want to read any other text that might be in the game. I know you were trying to be an asshole, but it doesn't bother me, so thanks for your help good sir.
