Last night I just won an auction for Sapphire on PC Engine, too. However, that was a more reasonable price at 60,000. I'm quite excited to give that a go, even if it wasn't anything like a bargain. Naturally, I'll have to check for bootlegging, but I feel like I spent the savings of the PC-FX games on this.
Yeah, that's high (but about what I'd expect) for Sapphire :lol: Hopefully it turns out it's not a bootleg.

From what I've heard, those two PC-FX games are good quality when compared to other system's games, but probably the best for English speakers.

Yea, I think the accessibility for English speakers is what keeps those games at a high price. It seems that in recent years, it's the western market that's made the prices so high.

It's such a shame when you walk down Akiba now. You find nothing and most of your favourite shops have closed. We all love collecting, but for most people, it's to own and play the games, not to re-sell.

I've been pining for Sapphire for a while now (Also, Rendering Ranger), but it's getting onto christmas and it's time for my present (^_^). Maybe RR is next year!

Saturday...
Image
Castlevania 4, no manual
Super Wrestle Mania
GBA in white
£20 for all :D
Picked from a box with a GBP leaving various gaming items including 2 PSPs, 1 trashed GBC and various games.
Asked for price to be told it was £60 for the whole box ( :shock: :lol: not expressed to seller)
Explained I didn't want what was left in the box only the items I held :)
Seller claimed I was taking all the good stuff so I put the GBP back :?
Seller asked for offer and accepted £20 :D

Sunday...
Image
Kane & Lynch, Dead Men
Mass Effect 2
Just Cause
Far Cry 2, no manual
Ben 10, Protector of Earth
50p each
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban £1
Also picked up a Wii/WiiU component cable made by Hama product code 00054673 from a box of wires resembling spaghetti, found the component end first and after alot of freeing/undoing discovered the Nintendo plug end :) Goes to show that sqatting down and digging in can work out well sometimes 8) Picture with cable is much better than stock cable which to be frank is really poor, cost 50p :D

This is the stuff today I got today this friday the 13th! Picked up a lot of stuff. Most for a dollar each! My first get was my copy of Lord Of Magna 3ds that came in the mail.Then fleamarket stuffs! I got a copy of Donkey Kong Land for gameboy for $5.00. Then I found a seller with some really mistreated genesis games. There was some okay stuff, but they were rusty and dirty and losing their labels. I got two games that were pretty beat up but I dont have them: Williams Greatest Hits and Marko. They were $2.00 each. Its too bad the rest needed too much TLC. I would have bought more had they been in better condition. I got that Captain America bobble head Funko for $2.00 as well. The box is bad but the toy is fine! Then spread out in other sellers I got more PS1, PS2 games, DVD movies and music. Pretty much everything else was a dollar each! They came from two or three different sellers. I have a few of them already but for the most part its all new stuff for me. Then leaving the fleamarket and hitting up some thrift stores for $3.00 I got an Anime DVD, that old yeller dvd (saving it for reselling later) and two NES power cords. Overall a typical day of finds for me!

Here's what I got today! A morning trip to the fleamarket got me Thrillville Xbox and that X-men comic for $2.00! Then at another seller I got three more things: Sly 3, Simpsons Hit and run and TROY dvd. As I paid the guy he said go ahead and take one more free! Okay I said, and I got that Jillian Michael's wii game. Then it was off to work. During my lunch break I went to gamestop and Picked up those two PS3 games, Castlevania Lords of Shadow collection and Never Dead. Just another typical day of finds!

G-Loc is a little underrated in my opinion and apparently I'm not alone because Yu Suzuki mentioned it as one of his favorite Genesis ports in his MD Collected Works interview. That really surprised me since it was done by Probe and not in house at Sega.

It's not a good representation of the arcade version but it's kind of nice as a more laid-back Afterburner.

I found a really beat up TG16. The back plate is still there, though. No controllers, cables, power supplies. Just the unit itself.
I've never seen one of these locally before. The 'cash crusaders' store wanted the equivalent of $10 for it.
As soon as I get the chance I'll test to see if it works. Either way it's more than a decent find in this neck of the woods.

If you have a nes rf and a Genesis 1 plug you can use those to see if the tg16 comes on.
Trust me when I tell you that system is very expensive to collect for. This is the one time I really recommend an everdrive for it
