[greedostick]

MUST HAVE ALL THE RARES!!!

No, I don't care about rare games. I just want the good games. That's how I can afford to collect video games. I don't buy a bunch of crap I will never play. I have a list of less than 30 games total I want to own on tg16 and pce. Because I've owned most of them, or friends  have at some point, I know exactly what I want. I try and keep my wants list for any system under 30 games.

Then you're in luck. There is zero reading required to play through the game and the PCE version goes for around $30.

Well, I mean, it is an RPG. I can understand why someone might want to understand the story. The voice acting is some of the best on the Duo as well.

I don't even know what droids mean. But I guess it was pretty good.

And people are surprised when I say this forum isn't friendly and people come off as assholes. This thread is turning into a prime example. Sorry I want to buy one of the best games on the duo. I should know better than to ask on a forum that specializes in PCE games from non-droids.

Gameplay is where it's at with this game. It is one of the best adventure games on the turbo with fantastic music. Let's face it, while the voice acting is one of the better ones on the system, it is still mediocre at best.

[OldRover]

If all you want it for is to play it and don't give a toss about the mediocre storyline, just snag the Jp version... way cheaper, and the same game at the end of the day.

Yeah. It's by far one of the best cd games out there. I regret selling this one year's ago.  have the Japanese version, but I want the English version because I do care about the text, as I can read... Sort of. I actually wrote a faq on amefaqs years ago that's still on there. I am looking for the game because I have a group of people who want to get together for some 5 player action to test out the arena so I can start re-writing my faq.

So one guy says something kinda mean (yet quite funny with the SW reference) and we're ALL assholes?  I guess it takes one to know one.

[CGQuarterly]

Seriously, you guys?  According to all of you, is there any LEGITIMATE reason to want to buy the more sought-after Turbo titles?  Can anyone come here and ask to buy something that's worth any money with getting drummed out of town?  He offers $200, so he must be some asshole who needs everything right now, blah blah blah.  But if he had offered less, or asked for a "good deal" then you guys would be jumping on his ass for low-balling the community.  In the mean time, guys like this, or like that MooseMan dude could turn out to be great members of the community if you guys didn't get the torches and pitchforks out every time someone wanted to buy anything but dirt commons and PCE hueys.

Jumping on the flaming bandwagon was fun for awhile, but I'm really starting to see why this place has the reputation that it does.

[ClodBusted]

Well, both Dungeon Explorer I and II (TG-16 versions) are available for the Wii Virtual Console at affordable pricetags. Just in case you'd be fine not getting your hands on a physical copy, so keep that in mind and think for yourself.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Actually Jib, it was one dude that was insulting to him as NecroPhile pointed out, most every other post in this thread is people offering their opinions in a rather helpful manner.

[MotherGunner]

Greedo, I think Cylo was way out of line and he should apologize.

Having said that, some of your responses are way too sensitive and do not help the situation either, (which explains my smallest violin photo).

How about you just take any negative comments like a man or ignore them?  Dare I say, dish it back out once in a while? 

That would be way better than letting everyone here see you proverbially do this:



Either way, don't take your ball and go home.  Stick around buddy.

[OldRover]

Aye... gotta have the mettle to take some flak from time to time around these parts. No one here is above it, not even the oldbies like NecroPhile and I (and you too, of course, MG).

[greedostick]

I don't mind the flak, and I can take it. I work in an emergency room and get treated like crap on a daily basis there. I just think there are a few bad apples here and people really should be respectful in a adult manner. Now I don't mind joking, and language. I'm a guy afterall, I have a bad one. It's just all the unnecessary bashing and rude remarks. We collect video games for gods sake. What is there to be rude and angry about?

I'm not going anywhere. And I'm sorry if I offended some people. But it has just been negative remarks, pm's and such since I came back here. I have met a few nice people here. I just don't feel as a whole there is a bunch of positive energy in this community.

May the Schwartz be with you all!

[OldRover]

In my experience... asking people on an internet forum to be respectful is like asking a terrorist to stop killing people.

[CrackTiger]

It's cool to want the Turbo version if you know what you're getting and not getting. Long before any kind of Turbo collector price inflation, we offered the same advice to people looking for hard to find games. DEII is one of those games people often treat like a RPG and assume they can't play it in Japanese. The cinematics are cool and add to the overall experience in either language, but the Turbo version is just Working Design/Samurai Pizza Cat-ized and not really translated. Even when people were looking at spending as much as $50 for the Turbo version, we'd recommend the fully playable PCE version.


Greedo, if you want to try the arena with friends then you shouldn't wait around and just do it in the PCE version, while continuing to patiently search for a decent priced Turbo copy.

[ToyMachine78]

I will say that I bought the PCE version thinking the language wouldn't matter much. I will be the first to say that I really don't enjoy playing it much because I can't immerse myself as deeply into the game without understanding the story. I think think the importance of the plot story development is greatly downplayed with these games.

About the only genre I have found that this isn't an issue is with shoot'em ups.  To each his own I guess, but I don't fault the guy for wanting the turbo copy. Especially since he is willing to pay a fair price.

You came white knighting in to speak up for mossy and then told us what we are doing wrong when all we are really doing is sticking up for our system & games and trying to have place/community that is not like ebay or kijiji.
Ya it comes off harsh sometimes but I keep on saying... come into new place using some common sense and you will do just fine.

I will buy your PCE version. You can take that money and get the turbo version. I'm serious, i didn't realize until reading this thread that you dont need to have the game in English to play it. Let me know if you want to sell it

I can see the ops point, just recently there has been a theme of people offering some sort of dollar value for a "rare" or desirable game.  Said person then gets flamed.  I think its really mainly in this particular part of the site ( buy/ sell ).. Kinda funny really given that's what this area is for. 

Its all being done to protect the over inflated pricing of TG games, and i can understand and appreciate that, but on the flip side i know that this forum and its members are really getting a bad name outside in the rest of the world, and while i dont care if people think the forum is a shit place to buy and sell, i do care that people may not come here and share their experiences, homebrew skills, whatever it maybe ( look at nintendo age, its soo cool that every now and then someone who was an original developer on some game comes forward and share his experiences, ive seen that only once i think here, id hate for people to think we are too much of a bunch of assholes to waste time coming here with that sort of stuff ).. 

Aside from the guys who gave advice about the jap version ( i too didnt realise it would be as playable in japanese ), the rest should may take a back seat ( said in the nicest possible way of course) for a while, theres so many positive things going on in this site with member raffles, combiar sessions, sparkys labels - boxes - inserts, and a great homebrew area that we should focus on that and let these types of post slide by quietly.  At the end of the day if a private trade happens then it really probably doesnt hurt the general market pricing, infact if more private trades happened with pricing hidden and encouraged then the general pricing on ebay might not inflate so quickly.  Just another way to look at it maybe.

It does seem the negative stuff is more associated around the US stuff, the PCE side of it seems pretty quiet when it comes to prices. ?

[Bernie]

I tried the pce version, and although it IS playable, I'd prefer the USA release myself as well.  I kinda like the storyline and all.  DEII is one of the best, IMO...but I am also the guy that feels Beyond Shadowgate is THE BEST game for the Turbo.  lol.

Considering the ridiculous pics of games I see people posting my offer for Dungeon Explorer II is peanuts. And i'm not talking about Magical Chase. I could be asking Darius Alpha, or any of the Summer Carnival TurboChips, but i'm not because I have no interest in those games.

In fact on a lot forums it is mandatory when posting a buying/selling thread, to include prices to keep people from ripping people off. I offered what I felt was a fair forum price considering it sells on eBay for $200-$250 on a regular basis.

What if I offered $100.00? Then I would be flamed for asking too low.

I understand what you're saying there. If fact I think you're one of the most helpful and active members here. You're definitely a good guy in my book!

But the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the bunch. And it has been more than 2 people and more than one thread. When new people come here they are going to see the "bad apples" and leave. And like said before they could be active members that have things to offer the community besides negativity.

I just received my huge lot of games in the mail and I am waiting to see if I wanted to keep enough games to justify a whole sticker set. Sorry for not replying, I kept meaning too but I would forget, plus this week is final week before exams, plus I think I had food poisoning Monday night and Tuesday and didn't start to feel beter till late last night.

My Japanese version is a placeholder until when/if I ever locate a English copy again. It is playable for sure, I just prefer to read the story. Also, I want to update my old Dungeon Explorer II FAQ I wrote when I was younger, and wanted to add the story for people who can not afford/locate the English release.

No hard feeling taken at all


Also I would like to throw out there that it doesn't have anything to do with being sensitive. I'm not the most sensitive of people. Sure, I may have got a bit misty eye'd in the last episode of Breaking Bad when I though Jesse was going to die. But he was the only character left with any moral values! It wasn't my fault.

But what it comes down to is defending ones self. Say you were desperate and went to WalMart and were looking to buy a PS3, and all of the sudden some guy comes up and says "hey, let me throw my 2 cents in, how about you go back to K-Mart or whatever hole you crawled out of because we don't have and droids here selling PS3's!"

Sure you might not understand what droids meant, but you would be probably understand what the person suggested was out of line and you have every bit of right to be in the store as him or any other person. And in all reality you would probably say something like "go the hell away", or "Eff off douche-bag"

The problem is not one person being too sensitive. The root of the problem is members offering their "2 cents" when it is out of line and disrespectful. Positive input is always welcome and considered. But douchery is crossing the line an unacceptable unless in a joking manner.

I personally think my offer for Dungeon Explorer 2 was totally fair and respectable. It's not the most sought after of game, but is expensive and getting quite rare.

If there are going to be all these rules regarding not asking for specific games, or not asking for too high of prices, or not asking until you have a specific number of posts then there needs to be a sticky set of specific rules for newcomers to read and follow.

hmmm. I may do this, as I backed up all my games before selling them.  Good idea Fred!!!

[greedostick]

That may very well be what I have to do with Dynastic Hero, but I suck at burning turbo games. They always loop music. Also I feel like my system is working extra hard and i'm scared i'm going to break it. I hear you need some silver CDR's or something.

Does anyone have any links to the best CDR's, preferebly on Amazon as I have Amazon Prime. And and idea where I can read a good FAQ on backing up turbo games? I understand the whole CUE system, but I must be doing something wrong. I hear 1x is ideal, but I also hear 1x burn is a thing of the past and actually makes the burn worse because it's too slow for advanced burners now-a-days.

Taiyo Yuden silverbacks, burn as slow a speed as you can. I burn mine at 8x without issue.

I also want to get DE II, one day.  For now, I think I'll follow the advice here and nab a copy of the import version to hold me over, but I'd love to get the US version too.  It's something I've wanted ever since it was featured in Turboplay/Turboforce/DuoWorld (whichever it was at the time).

More importantly though, DE 1 is something I need to reacquire, it's one the US Hu-Cards I used to have as a kid, but I don't anymore.  My collection is mostly CD/SCD games right now, but luckily I had the sense to keep a few of my other good games like Blazing Lazers and Parasol Stars.

The system is dead, NEC is not making them anymore and they are not producing the games anymore.
