Hey, I would put Blazing Lazers on the list it is often sub-$20 and is a fun shmup.

That does seem to still be down a bit. Definitely needs to be on there, especially if the limit is raised.

Yeah, I can't find anything I think is really worth the time and attention that fits into the original constraints well.

This list either needs to become an import game guide (because some of those are still cheap) or the price needs to go up. The Turbo is simply becoming a more expensive system to own as it ages and becomes even harder to find.

Well, if you have a list of imports, I could do like I did with the Saturn guide.

The PCE forum I frequent usually doesn't have flat priced sales so much as make an offer, so I can't really collect much useful data there. I found a couple sites with recent historical ebay data, and I think that's going to have to be the way this goes. I'll go over it a little and see what useful can be gleaned. I think we can pretty much eliminate the under $10 category. Every once in a while something good will slip below that, but I'm thinking for this system $20 and under is the new starting point.

Here's some TurboChip/US only data. Can't really find any good sources for CD games.

Because prices are variable I'm not going to list a price. I'm just going put them in loose price categories, in rough price/value order. May of these titles can easily be found more expensively, but they may be able to be found for something within the price range category they are listed in.

$10 and under Must Haves
Legendary Axe

$10 and under Worth Considering
Keith Courage
Power Golf
China Warrior
J.J. and Jeff

$20 and under Must Haves
Dungeon Explorer
Alien Crush
Blazing Lazers
Bonk's Adventure
R-Type
Bonk's Revenge
Ninja Spirit
Bloody Wolf
Galaga '90
Tricky Kick

$20 and under Worth Considering
Vigilante
Bravoman
Side Arms Hyperdyne
Moto Roader
Champions Forever Boxing
Final Lap Twin
Tiger Road
Space Harrier
Dragon Spirit

Some feedback at the PCEFX forums is causing me to want to rethink my initial thoughts on this. I'm going to run it by them and see what they have to say about it and then come back.
