Told ya so.

The guy may be slow, but damn he packs 'em well. Don't they look like they're fresh off the assembly line?

Nazi NecroPhile · 02/22/2008, 04:41 PM

They sure do, and the shrink wrap ain't crushing 'em one iota (as some peeps fear).

I ordered a ninja spirit from moredisclimited and still haven't receive it yet. For those that ordered from moredislimited, did you guys receivie your item yet?

nat · 02/23/2008, 01:48 PM

That's who we're talking about, turbokon. Give him a few more days. He was slow for all of us but the games did show up, in FANTASTIC condition.

Nazi NecroPhile · 02/23/2008, 02:12 PM

Yeah, he's a slow shipper. I ordered on 1/31, and he sent emails the following day stating that they'd been shipped. Contrary to his communications, the postage was dated 2/12, so the bum sat on 'em for nearly two weeks before shipping. They were nicely packed though, and in a box that originally housed six copies of Ghost Pilots for NeoGeo - kinda neat if you're a NeoGeo collector, which I'm not.

~~On a side note - I now have two extra copies of Silent Debuggers. If anyone's interested, gimme a buzz.~~

All the Turbo games from more disc are gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They still have Turbografxs for cheap as chips though! Thats where I got mine and I must say, excellent service. I got some neo geo games for super cheap too, before Christmas. They can be slow (even in the uk), but it all turned up. I'm going to buy myself a few more Tg16s next week. They are so cheap, you never know when you might need another one...

Are you talking about more discs limited?

If so, this might answer some questions for you: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177339

The responses from him are especially interesting.

Thats interesting, as well as buying five neo games which all came (even though some took a while..), I also got my tg16 and 4 games and also a refund for some Jaguar games which didn't show. They were actually a total pleasure to deal with. I spoke to them by email a good few times and we actually ending up cracking jokes together..

Nazi NecroPhile · 02/24/2008, 03:46 PM

The Old Rover has had a change of heart, so I no longer have the pair of Silent Debuggers available. Sorry, folks.

turbokon · 02/25/2008, 07:26 PM

Finally got my sealed ninja spirit in the mail today. Overall I'm pleased since I didn't pay an arm and a leg for it.

nat · 02/25/2008, 07:27 PM

Yeah, you really can't beat those prices. I ordered two more from SimpleSimon today.

rag-time4 · 02/25/2008, 09:28 PM

I've known about these for a while... the one I'm most interested in is JJ and Jeff.... it looks like simplesimon may only have 1 left....

Turbo D · 02/26/2008, 12:08 AM

Got my package from more disks today. I'm very pleased with the quality and packaging, I just wish they got here faster.

simplesimon was great. boxed, sealed, great condition.

Looks like SimpleSimon has replenished his supply of factory sealed TG-16 games. Got some titles up that weren't up in the last bunch...

I was reluctant to make a purchase because I thought that they came with a French Manual but if they come with the English manual in addition...Bonus!

turbokon · 04/04/2008, 10:23 AM

Sweet, thanks Nat, just pick up a few items!

All games that come with a French manual also come with an English manual as well.

That said, not ALL of this guy's games come with a French manual. But they do all come with an English manual.

So, he must have the Canadian releases then.

I've always wanted to play "La Maison de la Splatter". hehe

nat · 04/04/2008, 10:49 AM

Like I said, they are not all the Canadian versions. Only a few of them are. But the "Canadian" versions are just the same as the "U.S." versions, in most cases they just threw an extra French manual in the box. (A few of the Canadian boxes actually had French text, in addition to English, on the back of the box.)

EDIT: I just bought Addams Family (sealed) and Sonic Spike (sealed) for $47, shipped. Breaks out to about $23.50 per game after shipping. Better deal than TZD was, that's for sure...

RuninRuder · 04/04/2008, 11:27 AM

Thanks for posting the notice and link, Nat. I've finally achieved my lifelong dream of purchasing a sealed Ghost Manor.

My buddy Mr Fulci did the last bit of convincing. Almost everything he said about the game was negative. That must be what did the trick.

Cool, let me know how Sonic Spike is. I'm interested just because it was made by IGS (SINISTRON, Tricky Kick, and, uh, Astralius).

I've only met one fellow (well, on the internet) that was into Sonic Spike, and it was when he had it back in the day. I still haven't played that game, but I know that the screen scrolls horizontally, so I have some doubts... I wish IGS recycled the code for Sinistron and CyberCore and gave us sequels to those games.

Got my Sonic Spike and Addams Family today. A perfect 7 days again all the way from the UK. Great condition! Runin you get Ghost Manor yet?
