Which is the best of the turbo collector's jewels?

(and am I missing any?)

Nazi NecroPhile

The best of those five would have to be Dracula X, though it's not terribly expensive.

There's quite a few games that sell in the same range as Dracula X (or higher) - such as Beyond Shadowgate, Bonk 3,  Dungeon Explorer II, Super Air Zonk, Might & Magic III, Hawaiian Island Girls, Local Girls of Hawaii, Bikini Girls, Exile: Wicked Phenomenon, Syd Mead's Terra Forming, Crazy Hospital,  Tatsujin's Adventure (a.k.a. Bazaru de Gozaru), Hi-Leg Fantasy, Renny Blaster, and likely many more.

I voted MagicChase because I really enjoy it.

They seldom appear on ebay, but when they do they usually sell for right around the $100 mark.  They're high cost is definitely due to rarity and not quality like Dracula X.

Yeah Guyjin- and you say turbo yet list river city ransom. 
if it's just turbo though it seems like a year or two from now Hero Tonma can be added to that list.  I've looked endlessly for a good deal on the US version and there's none to be had.  Gets more expensive each time and yet I've seen it on some list as "rarity 4"- meanwhile it's priced like a rarity 7 going on 8.

If it's PCE then you can add Steam Hearts and 21 Emon and anything Bazarujin might tell you to add- being that he has like a kajillion pce games and would know  :D

I still think Dracula X is the best traditional Castlevania game, and Castlevania is one of the best game series around. The other titles are good, but I really think Dracula X is simply one of the best games ever made. Not THE best, but certainly one of the best.

CrackTiger

I voted for Drac X. There are many other non-great games that are pricey, like Renny Blaster.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

RuninRuder

1) Sapphire
2) Rondo
3) Downtown Nekketsu
4) Dynastic Hero
5) Magical Chase

Some other noteworthy and often expensive games that haven't been mentioned yet are Madou Monogatari (my favorite), Sylphia, Faussete Amour, Puyo Puyo Tsuu, Rainbow Islands (expensive lately), and Nexzr (not so expensive anymore).

SignOfZeta

Drac X easily, and Sapphire a distant second. Drac X can still be had for less than double its original retail if you are lucky, which isn't that expensive, really.

I was hoping to see Bazaaru de Gozaaru no Game de Gozaaru on that list. Its one of the better expensive titles, IMO.

Dracula X without question. Sapphire is a very close second, followed by Bonk 3 and Exile WP.
Turbo Badass Rank: Janne (6 of 12 clears)
Conquered so far: Sinistron, Violent Soldier, Tatsujin, Super Raiden, Shape Shifter, Rayxanber II

JoshTurboTrollX

god damn!  Either Dracula X, Dungeon Explorer II, or Beyond Shadowgate..

I'll vote BS- cause I bet it hasn't recieved its share of love from you bastards!

And are you guys serious about Exile WP?  It really goes for $100 on eBay- anybody want to buy mine then??

Exile WP is worth about $90 on ebay. Any more than that and it's a rip-off. But I sure as hell wouldn't pay that much for it.
Turbo Badass Rank: Janne (6 of 12 clears)
Conquered so far: Sinistron, Violent Soldier, Tatsujin, Super Raiden, Shape Shifter, Rayxanber II

Got Exile WP for a sweet $50 on this forum- thanks gekioh!  :)
still haven't played the beast yet...

Hey as the newbie here i thought this would be the best place to place my first post........

Am going with Dracula X but Sapphire is quite good from what i have played of it.

I just purchased a copy of Dracula X on Ebay for $100 which seems to be the going rate for this game and i gladly paid it to have a copy. :D
