Jaguar CD has increased in price as well.

At the same time, some other systems have tanked in value.

It's all in a cycle i suppose. Maybe it's related to Virtual Console.
I think the Saturn has tanked in value. I am a ten year seller on ebay with over 500 feedback and 100% rating. I sold a Sega Saturn about 3 weeks ago with power cable, A/V cable, Sega Rally and Daytona USA and it only went for 20 measly dollars. I think my shipping was only like $10 too.....

Turbo Grafx systems, games, and accessories always seemed expensive to me. That's why I've bought about 20 of the best games on Virtual Console.

I find it very hard to find those games where I live. I dont buy online, but I've seen that TG-16 games are getting expensive there!

but what I think is that this system truly is collectable! Not enough consoles have been sold to be sucessfull, and people are finding it harder to buy the good games for it. People are keeping their favorite games and not sellling much!

so yeah it is in style and now its harder and harder to get them

I've become somewhat interested in getting one, don't know why. If I did, what should I get? The number of US games seems limited, so for it to be worth it I'm guessing I would need to pick up some japanese games too? That requires some sort of converter for the jap 'hucards' to work on a turbografx though. . . is that something that's easily found or affordable?

I'm not really into shooters, at least not to the point where I need another whole system just to get enough of them. Is there a good amount of platformers, including japanese ones?
