RAFFLE: Gate of Thunder (WINNER REVEALED)

Elder · 10/08/2015, 09:56 PM

Hi all,

I may not post much, but I have really enjoyed my time here. Many folks have helped me find certain games I've been looking for, for a very long time. I thought it was about time I gave something back to the community. What I have for you all is a disc-only (i.e. no instruction booklets) copy of Gate of Thunder, which also includes Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, and the secret Bomberman (accessible via a code). This is the perfect game for those just starting to get into the Turbo.

I'll leave the raffle open until I have at least 15 to 20 people. There are no post limits or anything like that, but since I really want this to go to someone who will actually play it, don't be a dick and resell it on eBay. I'll ship worldwide, so no worries there.

Good luck to anyone that enters.

grolt · 10/08/2015, 09:59 PM

My parents always told me to respect my Elders, so I bow before you for this awesome raffle. Gate of Thunder has been a game I've wanted to play for years ever since playing Lords of Thunder on SEGA CD growing up. I still haven't played the original Bomberman either, so I'd love the chance! Sign me up and thanks for offering it!

schweaty · 10/08/2015, 10:08 PM

Mad stupid retarded props. Don't include me, just showing respect

seieienbu · 10/08/2015, 10:16 PM

A lovely raffle with a must have game for every collection. Also showing respect for my elders here, no need to add.

NightWolve · 10/08/2015, 10:17 PM

Every Turbo library should include this here CD. Very good of you to offer it!

chemdream · 10/08/2015, 10:20 PM

Please add me. I echo the rest, it's a must have. I never had it because back in the day, I had all these separately...

o.pwuaioc · 10/08/2015, 10:42 PM

I would love to be considered. I own exactly none of these games, and I'm itching for a Gate of Thunder playthrough! Many thanks for this very generous raffle.

tbone3969 · 10/08/2015, 10:50 PM

Great game and awesome for you to raffle it. I already have a copy so don't include me.

johnnykonami · 10/08/2015, 11:53 PM

Thumbs up for the raffle! Have my copy, just wanted to jam my thumbs up something, so don't include me. Never letting go of my GoT baby, that disc has spent a lot of time in my duo. Definitely sign up if you don't have GoT, and as a bonus you get 3 other great games!

slinkyturd · 10/09/2015, 12:03 AM

Dear God! Enter me....fast and hard.

Gentlegamer · 10/09/2015, 12:43 AM

I'm back from the future with a pic of the winner.

Good one!

Marto_Jo-ing · 10/09/2015, 02:47 AM

Please enter me in your raffle kind sir. I'm new to pcenginefx and love the tightness of the community. You guys ROCK!!!

technozombie · 10/09/2015, 06:36 AM

Please place me in your raffle. I've spent a lot of time with a CDR of this and it would be nice to have the real thing.

Elder · 10/09/2015, 09:59 AM

Thanks for the kind words all, and for everyone interested in the raffle. If I forget to put your name in the entrants list please let me know. For those wondering, Gate of Thunder is one of my favorite games on the system, and many years back when eBay was a mere sperm, people used to have bundle deals where they would include this disc among the other games, so I ended up with quite a few copies. The least I could do is raffle a copy off here. It's the last copy I have as I've given all the rest away to friends and whatnot.

This community is much like the Neo Geo community, which I also really enjoy. You guys are hardcore, but when shit gets real you stick together and show true community spirit. That is what makes this place so damn awesome.

LostFlunky · 10/09/2015, 10:15 AM

Please put me down for this. Thanks!

ToyMachine78 · 10/09/2015, 10:29 AM

Wow nice raffle. +100 turbo karma

reno5 · 10/09/2015, 10:53 AM

awesome raffle. Great games on that disc !

I already have it so don't include me.

Its_Sam · 10/09/2015, 11:00 AM

I wish I had signed up when I first got my PC Engine. I've just started, but I love the community here... even if I read much more than post. Sign me up, please!

shawnji · 10/09/2015, 12:48 PM

Ooh! Please enter me! I've been wanting this for a while now! With my Duo-R it's my only option for playing the games in English on hardware without a mod. Good luck to all!

Psycho Punch · 10/09/2015, 02:17 PM

Enter me hard.

bob · 10/09/2015, 03:03 PM

Cool raffle. I know of at least one of the "entrants" already has a copy. Sad.

wildfruit · 10/09/2015, 03:12 PM

Please sign me up I want your gate so bad

That is sad. I really want this to go to someone that will play, and enjoy it.

C'mon now, let's name names!

Edit: If not publicly, at least in a PM to Elder.

Dicer · 10/09/2015, 04:29 PM

Stick it in me, or rather stick me in this raffle as I do not own this disc, as I have an import Duo...

+1000 karmas as well, of the turbo kind.

kosko99 · 10/09/2015, 04:31 PM

Incredibly awesome raffle!
I know about the no post limit and such... mind if a newbie like me asks to join the raffle too?

Kindly remove me from this raffle. You're right, it should go to someone less with a less full collection. Good luck to the entrants!

shawnji · 10/09/2015, 06:32 PM

Redacted.

Well, I guess I'm still a noob.

I keep wanting to buy the thing, it's just never been in the right price range where I can justify it to myself.

Elder · 10/09/2015, 06:36 PM

A raffle's a raffle right. I don't want people removing themselves just because they have a somewhat larger collection, or have started a collection. If you don't have the disc, you're still a n00b as far as I'm concerned

Exactly. If you don't have le Gates, your collection is too damn small!

PCEngineHell · 10/09/2015, 06:54 PM

Sadly don't own Gate of Thunder, so Id like to enter. If I win I would probably hold another raffle or two of my own again to pay back all that good Turbo karma.

Do CD-R's count? hahah

Dicer · 10/09/2015, 08:06 PM

Since we are showing off measly collections...

The first 14 are either the free PCEworks prints (Xak and Start odd)and burns with my own printed cases, the rest are original...except for force gear at the end.

It's a meager pile so far, but it's mine

martinine · 10/10/2015, 09:24 AM

If it's still open, throw my name in please. I've wanted Gates since my bud got a Duo in the 90s while I *only* had the TG16. The TG16 was the only system I never sold or traded through the years. I still play it weekly. I finally bought a Duo in May. Many Turbo karmas your way!

cabbage · 10/10/2015, 09:42 AM

Can I join in? GoT is one I'm ashamed to say I have never played

esteban · 10/10/2015, 12:34 PM

OMG! So many folks don't have this. The MUZAK METAL is l'awesome.

Plus, folks can print their own stuff:

I need a legit copy of these. Please add me to the list. Ever so grateful.

Elder · 10/10/2015, 06:37 PM

I'm going to keep the raffle open for a few more days, so ensure your name is on the list. I'll let you all know when I'm going to close the raffle, the day before.

Sparky · 10/10/2015, 08:31 PM

Sweet raffle man, do not enter me as I have. Hugs

slinkyturd · 10/11/2015, 02:52 AM

(intercepts hug)

MY HUG!

Koop · 10/11/2015, 06:35 AM

I would love to join this as I just picked up a cd unit!

Wish I still had my brother's copy from when I was a kid. Used to play Bonk's Revenge and bomberman all the time.
