@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

I'd totally buy Camp California from you if I wasn't so low on cash!

Grr...I detest it when people claim non-rare games to be rare. Camp California is anything but rare.

Compared to what for the TG-16?  It doesn't pop up on ebay any more often than Cotton, D.E. II, Bonk 3, or Terra Forming - especially not sealed.  It ain't the rarest TG game, but it's far from common.

Just because it doesn't pop up very often doesn't mean it's rare. Maybe it's that no one wants to let go of the game...

Speaking of non-rare games claimed as rare that go for insane prices...anyone seen the price of FF7 these days? Unfuckingreal. :evil:

if its the non greatest hits version? i think the origional version is acually kinda rare these days. its the greatest hits version you can find anywhere. to be honest though i was seeing non-GH versions of ff7 everywhere right up to when EB stopped selling
psone games.
Oh my god! They're not even human!

OldRover

Many, many copies of the first manufactured discs were made...considering the tremendous investment they made in the game, they had to sell it like hotcakes...which they did. The only reason it's asking such a high price right now is because the FF7 "fever" is still hot from Advent Children and Dirge Of Cerberus...despite both being rather old now.

FF7 is expensive for very natural reasons. It's an ancient game, after all. Hard to get ahold of, and still mighty popular.
Quote from: Seldane on 04/21/2007, 07:28 PMDVDs are for suckers. Illegally pirated and stolen videos all the way. No menus. No "DO NOT PIRATE THIS!" screens. No fuss. Only perfection. I honestly only pirate movies because that "don't pirate this" screen annoys me. :wink:

Indeed, it's AV time. Check out: IMG! Sir, the door was open.

GUTS

I think by the virtue of barely ever showing up for sale anywhere, that qualifies the game as rare.  I don't think it matters if some dude is sitting on 3 million copies of it, if you only see one for sale every 2 years then the game can be considered rare.

Keranu

I agree with GUTS. I consider a game like Shadow Blasters for Genesis to be rare since it doesn't pop up much or even get discussion, but it won't really cost more than $10.

UGH, some shit-fuck ebay store won Camp California, expect to see it up with a $300 buy it now in a couple weeks.  Dude I'll give you $60 for it just to keep it out of that faggot's hands, just tell him it broke or something.

Are you kidding? It's one of my favorite games. Of course I've played it, and owned it too.

Owned it?  As in past tense?  Sounds like you did want to let go of the game.  I like it too, but it's too damn long to not be able to save.

It was stolen from me by my "family. :( And no, I did not want to let go of it, nor the dozens of other TG games I owned, including several games that often go for $200 and up these days.

Sounds like this "family" could use a little pistol whipping.

Hey Nödtveidt / OldRover, I just wanted to say that your posts about Camp California, Exile 2, Dead Moon, etc. over the years totally inspired me to give those games a second chance. I still haven't gotten Violent Soldier yet... but I will. :)
