Because you didn't have to read 18 pages of a thread, moron, it's the 1st post of the thread that keeps a full, updated/maintained list by the creator. Try using what little, functional brain cells you have left!

Tommy the Troll, turned defender/hero of the "new people." The psycho troll has taken up a righteous cause, evidently not much better things to do in his life than teach forum members "manners." For Tommy's lesson on forum "manners, etiquette, etc." click here... ;) The loon prides himself on detecting hypocrisy in others, but can't seem to detect his own, not even in the slightest bit.

P.S. GTFO of the forum like you said you would, psycho!

With a friendly community like this it makes me want to converses with you even more. *insert sarcasm*

The easier way it could have been taken care of would have been "It's already there." You automatically assume that I didn't look, but I had. Unfortunately I also looked right over it somehow. I love how the internet brings the best out of people... to be honest I don't understand this whole attitude that people take, "Oh, I have to act all big and bad towards everyone on the internet because I can't do it in real life or I'd have my face smashed in."

I actually came to list another one (one that is not on the list), but what's the point? If the forum is filled with people like you why would I even want to bother spending time here. No one likes to be unfairly treated and I thought about just keeping my mouth shut and walking away from this post, but I felt that you guys are going way overboard on such a trifling post.

Now just to clarify... I know the forum is not filled with people like you, or I would have already taken off. But, I do believe when forums have rules that the moderators should take action on those who are breaking the rules.  You even agreed to the Terms and Conditions when you signed up.

Quote from: Terms and ConditionsYou agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law.
What I'm trying to say is... there was no attack towards you guys and you should not feel any reason to freak out over this. Sure I may be a new forum member here, but maybe you've been around too long and have a sense of entitlement or elitist status.

And thanks for stepping in even before I got a chance to see the post...
I think this post is a neat idea to help people who live in different area's to find better prices on TG16 games. I for one have decided not to take part in this thread anymore. If someone accidentally slips up this thread turns into a flame war... what's the point in that?

jlued's second comment and NightWolve's comments were directed at Tommy the Troll, not you.  Tommy brings his baggage with him to every thread, so don't confuse vitriol tossed at that clown as having anything to do with you.

Quote from: Ayce on 08/01/2014, 09:27 AMThe easier way it could have been taken care of would have been "It's already there."
Is that not exactly what jlued's first comment said?  Sure he made a joke about your reading comprehension skills, but it's just a joke and 100% true anyway; you admit you mistakenly overlooked that store (a.k.a. a reading comprehension failure).

I guess I don't know Tommy as well as you guys, but I did not see that as a trolling moment. I saw that as a come to the noobs defense which does not happen much.

As for reading comprehension, no, that was not a case of comprehension - that would be the ability to read text and process it's meaning.

When it comes to a list it was an oversight, so I still stand my ground on that rudeness that was directed towards me. Yes, I'm sorry for making a mistake, and there is no way that he could have know that I did look first. There is still a better way at going about it.

I didn't mean to go flying off the handle (if that's the impression that I gave here) but I'm so tired of the attitudes that people take when it comes to dealing with others on the internet.

I'm not going to let the community suffer for what I felt was a really bad way of dealing with the situation at hand so here is one more for the list.

Game Over
587 W Bay Area Blvd
Webster TX 77598
(281) 554-5637

I have checked and double checked... it is not on the list.
Their selection of games is not as good as the one in Friendswood that I mentioned earlier because they had someone there who sold an almost complete set of TG16 games (minus Magical Chase)

NightWolve

Looks like you didn't even click the link that provides context on Tommy Troll Jr. the Turd that you quoted from me otherwise you wouldn't have thanked him for his phony "help" much less responded with so much.

You're right, we're NOT "friendly" to psychos that tell us, a) we should all choke to death, b) that told me personally he hopes that I die soon, c) that we're all dangerous people so he reported this forum to the police, d) to all rot in hell, to go f--k ourselves, our mothers, and our fathers too, etc.

I linked that so I wouldn't add further drama into this thread, but I wasn't gonna let him get away with acting "normal" after his psycho routine, run around, act like he's helping people to wash away that level of excess...

Now, as for what jlued686 said to you, yeah, it was rude, I probably wouldn't have responded that way based on what you did, I DID however respond rudely to a damn death-wishing douchebag because he earned it and at that point I sought to chase his butt off the forum.

Ayce

Again my apologies to you as well NightWolve. No I didn't click that link, because I was more flustered to see someone, in a forum that I felt in past has been nothing but a great group of people, being rather rude.

There are hopes that someone like Tommy might turn over a new leaf eventually. When I saw his kindness, obviously it looked more like that you two were being the trolls.

Thank you for your explanation.   :D

jlued686

Hey Ayce, sorry if that came off the wrong way. I promise I was just joking with you and didn't mean to come off like a dick. Well, except to Tommy who's just an annoying a-hole. But my "reading is fundamental" comment was meant to be lighthearted. Sorry if you took offense. Believe me, I may have been here for a decade, but I have no feelings of "elite" status. Just typing that makes me laugh. ;)

jlued686

Oh, and I've added Game Over in Webster, Texas.

If that assclown is posting, he's trolling.  He doesn't give a fuck about anything other than needling the forum, and he's been doing it years (leopards don't change their spots).

Didn't see a single store in PA, so here I'll throw this out there- (It's in Philadelphia)

Classic Game Junkie, 111 South Easton Rd Glenside PA 19038

Full disclosure, I work at the store. We have a pretty okay stock of loose HuCards for PCE, oddly more than our loose US games. We've been getting in a lot of boxed TG16 games lately though too. CD games are a bit harder to come by but we somehow find some good stuff (We had a mint copy of Super Air Zonk until recently even) along with some hardware for sale.

If anyone's in the area feel free to stop by and check out our TG16/PCE stuff, I love talking about this stuff!

tigre

Quote from: guest on 08/07/2014, 05:15 AMso... how are the prices? I'm sure some people here would happily take some of those boxed goodies off your hands if you were to facilitate purchase/shipping.  I see some good stuff on the Facebook page. Not fair to dangle this stuff in front of us with no avenue to buy the stuffs. :D
We try to be as fair as we can with our prices, keeping in mind of course we need to make enough to stay open.  Most of our pricing is based off of average market value and if it looks like somethings off we definitely have no problem looking into the price.

As far as the pictures that go on the facebook page, almost every picture we take is taken right when the items come in the store because we're excited that we got cool stuff in haha. If you see something posted that you're interested in you're more than welcome to call the store up and ask about it (I'd call after 4PM, which is when the owner or myself are in), shipping stuff is something we have no problem doing! Getting our inventory online is sorta hard to do, sadly :(

clackattack

I live in Athens GA, and in my town we have a little used game store called Ugame. Its on the UGA campus so there is always cool stuff the comes through there. Havent seen much TG16 stuff lately since I bought them out of an avenue 6 and a few loose HUcards, but here and there they get some in. Pretty fair with prices too, always lower than Feebay and Amazon.

You can add Phoenix Games to the list in CA. Their address is 4425 Treat Blvd, Concord, CA 94521. Really great store with really great employees and owner! They will be moving to another location up the street in about 6 months or so. It will be twice as big and twice as many Turbo games! Their number is (925) 682-4263 and they're open every day and have great hours. They also have tons of other retro games and even have dedicated pinball tournaments. http://www.yelp.com/biz/phoenix-games-concord

You can also add 4Jays in Antioch CA. Their address is 519 W 4th St, Antioch, CA 94509 and their phone number is (925) 777-1160. Full disclosure though, their hours stink and their customer service sucks bigtime, but they do have a decent amount of TG16 stuff and fair prices. http://www.4jays.com/

In the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan there is a open plaza by the movie theater. There are vendors there that sell used retro games. Sometimes they haveTurbo games and accessories. Prices are very cheap. Most games in $5-$10 range. Sellers are there daily.

172nd street and Broadway
New York, NY

There is also a retro game store in the area, but it's ridiculously overpriced.

Arcade Legacy
662 Cincinnati Mills Dr, Cincinnati, OH 45240

Last time I went they had about 8 PCE Hu-cards. A bunch of sports titles but there were a few Hu-cards I wasn't familiar with. The prices are ok but you can haggle.

Game Swap
2028 Florence Mall, Florence, KY 41042
Store is on 1st floor in Zone B

Last time I was there, the store had three boxed TurboGrafx games (Klax, Legendary Axe, and Devil's Crush) and a boxed Turbografx console that came with two boxed controllers and a boxed Turbostick. Game Swap is a chain in the Cincinnati/Norther Kentucky area so the other stores may have TG16 stuff later. But in the last couple of months that I've checked, only Florence had Turbo stuff.

To quote myself, which is lame :(


Quote from: esteban on 01/06/2008, 03:11 PMA few months ago I went to the Digital Press store in Northern Jersey... they had a great display case with lots of PCE stuff (i.e. the PCE LT, the expensive collapsable/folding DUO monitor, etc.) but the selection of games was stinky. Not that I expected much, but still.

I did buy a Bionic Commando novelette, though. I have yet to read it.
The game selection was horrible back in 2007-2008. This was corroborated by many others... but I understand why eBay takes priority.

I still wanted to support the brick-n-mortar, so I bought a few things.

The only neat PCE items were a bunch of LD-ROM (JB Harold) that, I think, were still sealed. That was the only time I held and actual PCE LD-ROM in my hands. :)

Look at all those copies of TV SPORTS and other common games.

DROP ROCK was the PCE game on top, I believe.

Have things improved?
