WTB/TF Neutopia 2

[nectarsis]

Like the title says ..I am looking to buy/trade for a complete copy of the US version of Neutopia 2.  : )

[nectarsis]

wow...no one with a complete extra huh 

[kid_rondeau]

They do pop up on eBay pretty regularly. And you won't necessarily get ripped off; I bought mine for $34.00, and it had the manual. I don't think it ever came with a jewel box, though. I think all the '92 and newer games came with the vacu-formed plastic tray.
As far as *with* the outer cardboard box, well...you may have to wait longer on that one.

[nectarsis]

I would be happy with a complete, card/case/manual...only ones i ever find on Evilbay are card only (one complete with "stained" manual)...or assinine prices   

[Ceti Alpha]

Yeah. There's some cheap Japanese versions, but the North American releases are terribly over priced.  But I'm sure a reasonably priced one will pop up.

A few months ago there was a hidden stock of games that went up all from the same seller. No one seemed to know about it. I was going to nab the Neutopia games, but I could only shell out for a few. But everyone who bid on the games made out like criminals. hehe. All games were w/card and manual. I think I paid 12 bucks each, give or take, for Dungeon Explorer, Raiden and Galaga 90. No one paid much more than that on the other auctions. Some people only paid 5 bucks for games. lol. Though Neutopia and Neutopia II were a little higher. Closer to 20 bucks. I didn't want to get into a bidding war over it and jack the price up and end up not buying it. I'd rather have the bidder get a good deal. 

But just wait around. Those things pop up once in a while.

Sounds like greatdeal+tehbestselectionBay was the way to go.

[nectarsis]

last time I looked, I only found 1 copy of Sol for$60 from HK 

[Turbo D]

I see the US version of Neutopia 2 complete with cardboardbox, tray, manual and hucard with slipcase going for around $60. I'm sure it can be found for cheaper, but that is what I've seen it go for complete.

[Turbo D]

Complete boxed it will probably end up over ($100.00+) beleave me i know at frist hand 

Only time i've seen the u.s version of,Neutopia II go for less if it's loose.

Still nectarsis most of the time the jpn version of II is all ways dirt cheap.

If ya....bid on that auction keep a eye on what it go's for on the last day,then quitely do a bid snipe

Dang! I should have made a bigger fight of that "hidden" auction. Neutopia and Neutopia 2 went for about 20 bucks each (w/case and manual).

But without the box, and that's what drives the price up.

[Ceti Alpha]

Man, I just saw a Neutopia go for under 10 bucks. Good deal.

[nectarsis]

I have the PC engine version....I would like the US release...lol

[nat]

I have the PC engine version....I would like the US release...lol

I just got a copy of Neutopia II a couple days ago. Nice graphics and really nice chip music, but such a Zelda rip-off it's not even funny!

[Ceti Alpha]

but such a Zelda rip-off it's not even funny!

haha. No doubt.

Sure is but it's a damn good zelda clone at least.

I over look neutopia 1&2 in it's day since it was consider that.

I'm just glad i gave both a chance afther all this time instead of ignoreing it.

[MurderDate]

patience is a virture in this world for sure.  these games were all printed / pressed in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, right? ?    there are plenty to go around - just keep hunting (level headed).

[nectarsis]

I'm doing my best to use patience (definetly not a virtue of mine)...lol

[hizaygizirlz]

Hey,
I think..I have an extra copy i believe that does have the manual in a generic CD case, if i remember correctly.  I'd have to go dig through my turbo games.  I'd be looking to trade do you have a trade list of any sort,  I was on a furious quest to get complete copies of all the US games a while back, and i really think there is only 30 or so games i don't have in some form w/ some being the big ones that wouldn't even be in a trade discussion.  So my question before i look would be what do you have to trade, nothing has to be complete i just have to check if i indeed do still have the game, and what games i am missing.
Thanks

[nectarsis]

so that auction went for $66...good bad???

[Turbo D]

What the hell was that slip cover used for?  Storing tobacco? 

[nectarsis]

OUCH...didn't even see that

[nat]

That's the limited edition Brown-Trouser slip cover that was only given to super "special" customers.

[nectarsis]

Yea....but that version kinda smells funny...lol

[Turbo D]

Alright dude, I found another one. THis ones a bit expensive, but it seems to be in good condition.

I can't believe I missed out on the Marlboro Special Edition.

That's too expensive.  I'd wait for a deal more like this one.

[Turbo D]

that one ended already. Besides, he said he wanted it boxed. I do like the price difference though, haha. I guess you have to pay if you want that cardboard box.

[Ceti Alpha]

Also that copy didn't even come in the Turbografx game case. The manual was just put into a CD case. Not a big deal, but it's nice to at least have the proper case.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Neutopia II never had a 'proper' case, but feel free to spend an extra $50 for the cardboard box and plastic tray.

Really?! Interesting. I obviously had no idea about that.  I guess I have to ask why that is. 

[Nazi NecroPhile]

TTi tried to save a few pennies and released the later games without a normal case; instead substituting a cheap, little plastic tray to keep the HuCard from sliding around in the box.

It's amazing; they're willing to spend all kinds of dough on a lame marketing campaign (i.e. Johnny Turbo), but won't give loyal customers proper cases. 

They really were hopeless here in North America. 

[Nazi NecroPhile]

No doubt.  It probably would've been nearly as cost effective to eliminate the box entirely and use shrink wrapped Japanese style cases, and nobody in their right minds would prefer a cardboard box over a decent case.

[nectarsis]

Thanks for the help guys (espically TurboD)    I would prefer mint/complete...but that $16.xx auction was pretty sweet.  : )

That's too expensive.  I'd wait for a deal more like this one.

That auction has Neutopia II in a jewel case. Just to make sure, N2 didn't have a jewel case but just a cardboard box right? Still nice that he throws in a jewel case anyways for neatness and support.

[nat]

Yeah N2 was post-jewel-case-era.

although, all my Turbo games end up in jewel cases whether they originally had one or not. I'll print out clean spine labels for them, too, and I try to match the font I use to the font used for the game title on the manual.
