The RetroVGS "Price is Right" Raffle (for a stack of PCE Hueys)!!

CGQuarterly · 09/17/2015, 03:21 PM

I have a stack of loose PCE Hueys that I don't want.

I'll take a picture later since I'm at work, but there's Victory Run, R-Type I, maybe Samurai Ghost and some other shit in there. There's maybe 8 of them, I dunno.

Edit: Got the stack in front of me now. Necromancer, Energy, R-Type I, Victory Run, Space Harrier, Samurai Ghost, some fucken Mahjong Academy deal, Benkei Gaiden, Momotarou Densetsu Turbo, and Super Momotarou Dentetsu 2.

Here's the deal though. This isn't going to be a random drawing. So how do you win this AMAZING STACK OF OBEY?

Guess the final total of the RetroVGS crowdfunding campaign, without going over!

Since we don't know how long the campaign will be, I am going to have to set an arbitrary end date/time once it gets posted, but it's going to be SOON, so get your guesses in now!!!

Normal raffle rules apply. No n00blets, leeches, flippers, or people I don't like (which is like 3 people, so probably not you.)

This post was formatted to make it look as obnoxious as possible, but I assure you that this raffle is real.

Is it too early to say $1?

I am going to go out on a limb and say $34, 156 - about 85 people at $400... I am going to further guess that 83 of those backers have Battlesphere on their shelves.

Gredler · 09/17/2015, 03:41 PM

I would like to guess, but dont want to enter the raffle

I can't find a link to the campaign, my google fu is failing me and apparently they are not advertising this campaign very well if it's not find-able easily lol

VenomMacbeth · 09/17/2015, 03:43 PM

Dammit, Samurai Ghost? Really?

I can't do it. I've won too many raffles lately. Plus I don't have enough vested interest in the VGS to guess what the KS will raise.

Lots of turbokarma your way, though. I'll find another loosie for the $250 Samurai Ghost manual I got from Galam...

They have a Facebook page. I don't have a link, though.

You should enter the raffle, anyway. If you win, you can tell me to send the stuff to the person of your choosing.

CGQuarterly · 09/17/2015, 03:54 PM

I might be wrong about Samurai Ghost. I'll look when I get home, and take a pic of everything. And they are ALL PC Engine Hueys. No TG16 stuff.

Sure, I'll enter then. I might want one of the hueys (fantasy zone in there somewhere?!) but I'll likey defer if I win

After I see the campaign I'll post a guess, but I am guessing they make 50k+ considering that gamster 81 guy made ~12k last year for a single game

Nazi NecroPhile · 09/17/2015, 04:03 PM

Tee-hee, I'll play along. There's a lot of collectard wishful thinkers that hate money, so I'll go kinda high at $2,458,246.

Psycho Punch · 09/17/2015, 04:14 PM

Don't enter me to the 'raffle' but... $50,000?

shipwreck · 09/17/2015, 04:16 PM

$453.00 is my guess

esteban · 09/17/2015, 04:56 PM

Hahahhajahajja!

I love this raffle

I don't want to officially enter the raffle (I own all the PCE games already), but I want to take a guess.

Hmmmmm....

$666,666

johnnykonami · 09/17/2015, 09:05 PM

$250,000.

CrackTiger · 09/17/2015, 09:14 PM

$107,000

shipwreck · 09/17/2015, 10:17 PM

OUCH

GohanX · 09/17/2015, 10:26 PM

I'm going with $1,500,002.

esadajr · 09/17/2015, 11:03 PM

put me in with 3,000,000

toktogul · 09/17/2015, 11:09 PM

35$

CGQuarterly · 09/18/2015, 12:42 AM

Updated the OP with the list of games. Maybe I'll take a picture later but I doubt it. They are Necromancer, Energy, R-Type I, Victory Run, Space Harrier, Samurai Ghost, some fucken Mahjong Academy deal, Benkei Gaiden, Momotarou Densetsu Turbo, and Super Momotarou Dentetsu 2.

HailingTheThings · 09/18/2015, 12:49 AM

I think 850,000. :3

wilykat · 09/18/2015, 04:06 AM

10 million dollars and sharks with frickin' lasers!

TBH it probably won't go that high.

seieienbu · 09/18/2015, 05:58 AM

Sounds fun. I'm in and betting on $500.00

jtucci31 · 09/18/2015, 10:22 AM

This is cool! Great idea! I'd like to bid $956,000 Drew

DildoKKKobold · 09/18/2015, 04:07 PM

I don't want these games, and you don't like me too much. That said, this idea is fucking hilarious, and I think everyone has way more faith in the Retro VGS than I do. I think they'll fall way short of their goal, and only raise $4,500. The thing reeks of massive failure.

jtucci31 · 09/18/2015, 04:22 PM

People seem to be strangely against them going with indiegogo over Kickstarter. Not sure if that will sway some people's bids ;)

Well, I don't dislike you enough to exclude you, so your entry has been accepted. If you win, you can just let someone else have the games.

Campaign starts tomorrow at 9AM! I'm going to go ahead and make that the deadline.

SUBMIT YOUR GUESSES BY 9AM PDT TOMORROW MORNING!

esteban · 09/18/2015, 05:20 PM

One of the best raffles.

I'm so excited.

And you just can't hide it. You're about to lose control and you think you like it.

+1 for pointer sisters reference.

esteban · 09/18/2015, 06:21 PM

You didn't even have to post the artwork.

Gredler · 09/18/2015, 06:32 PM

Sticking with $50,000.00 I'm certain there are enough people who want to create more stuff to collect

SephirothTNH · 09/18/2015, 07:47 PM

I'm not sure if I'm still too noob to enter. I won't loose any sleep over it either way. But the premise behind this thread is just to amazing to not be involved.

I think there are enough collectards and people drinking the kool-aid to get a decent amount of money. But it won't be the 7000 install base they are hoping for. My vote is $523,251. Which by my estimations is a little over 1200 people backing at an average of a little over $400.

ToyMachine78 · 09/18/2015, 08:31 PM

I'll bite. 325,000

This ain't no Mr. Rodgers neighborhood!

Grow some stones and enter the god damned raffle.

IvanBeavkov · 09/19/2015, 08:58 AM

If I'm to noob to enter that is fine but I think this retro VGS sounds ridiculous. If this thing funds the I think the failure will be spectacular to watch.

I think it will raise $18,590.

bozo55 · 09/19/2015, 12:58 PM

I'd like to place a bid of 98,000 United States Dollars, Bob.

You know what, enter me in the raffle, just so my guess appears in the first post.

grolt · 09/19/2015, 02:54 PM

$150,000 for me.

ClodBusted · 09/19/2015, 03:39 PM

$23.456

nopepper · 09/19/2015, 03:50 PM

I'm a noob (I hate typing that word as a 40 yo old man), and I (sincerely) don't care whether I win this raffle or not, but I'm still going to guess:

$400K

BTW, love your show. Keep it up, as it will stand the test of time!

LostFlunky · 09/19/2015, 03:54 PM

Well I am out - it has funded over 40K about 4 hours in...

I wanted to make it to the showcase showdown, dammit!!! Parting gifts? Rice-a-roni?

Gredler · 09/19/2015, 05:49 PM

johnnykonami · 09/19/2015, 06:09 PM

I think this is gonna slow down after the initial glut of uh... indiegoers? Gredler and mickcris might have a shot.

yeah, i dont think it can keep up this pace. after all the facebook supporters sign up, there probably wont be many more. I do think now it will probably go over what i guessed.
