Official Sega-16 Haul Thread. 4.0

Indeed it is that very same one. It seems to be missing the manual, but I'm sure I can pick that up whenever I want. And it's the blue text variant.

Cool, thanks for letting me know! I don't know if this is already confirmed, but I think (this would make sense), the blue text shows up with the blue boxed X'eye and red text shows up with the red boxed version.

[Obviously]

Picked these up recently. I wanted to get a copy of Snake Rattle N Roll for a while now and of course Life Force so I can stop depending on a friend's copy. I also finally managed to find a loose Sparkster for cheap and I'd been looking for Deadlock 2 forever. I love both of the Deadlock games.

That seems to be the logical and general consensus. But the real mystery is the black text variant...

[Obviously]

Same, there both great, with the original one being the best for me, but whoever made THIS repro cover art needs to die.



It is an insult to Alien Soldier

I would buy that in a heartbeat because I love campy westernized box art. I assume it's meant to be an homage to that, and in that regard the art is actually really nice and cartoony and neat.

I also picked up these two DS games recently:

Some friends and I made a road trip to the retro store in San Juan. I traded in some stuff and got:

- Sega Power Base Converter (boxed)
- Quartet, Master System (complete)
- Aztec Adventure, Master System (complete)
- Kung-Fu Kid, Master System (game and box)
- Risk, Genesis (complete)
- Shadow of the Beast II, Genesis (cart)
- Gun Force, SNES (cart)
- Super Empire Strikes Back, SNES (cart)
- Axelay, SNES (cart)
- Super Turrican, SNES (cart)
- Biometal, SNES (cart)
- Virtua Cop, Saturn (Stunner pack-in with manual and jewel case)

All of it only cost me $30 out-of-pocket.

[MrMatthews]

By far the most expensive game I've ever purchased at almost $90.00 shipped, but worth it as far as I'm concerned.

SEALED

[Thunderblaze16]

Can't find the game on eBay, is it rare?

[MrMatthews]

It wasn't released in the US, and I've only seen it a few times on ebay for about $40-$50, cartridge-only.

[Guntz]

Wow, and you opened it?? I can just imagine all the bleeding hearts on NintendoAge in their VGA-graded thread, crying about how much that game would have been worth if it had been VGA graded...

Then again, they do have a point. How hard could it have been to find a CIB copy, or at least a cart only copy? It probably would have been cheaper.

Wow nice haul for 30 bucks!

Well, I wanted it to play it. Besides, how would I know if it was actually legit if I never opened it?

And if you had read my post carefully, you would have seen that I mentioned that this game hardly ever shows up on ebay, and that it goes for $40-$50 cart-only. $90 for a brand-new game is a much better value than $50 for some dirty loose cartridge.

So it is hard to find and obviously cheaper if I wanted to go cart-only.

[Baloo]

Nice find Mr Matthews, how is the game?

In my opinion, those guys can just fuck off with that VGA-graded pristine sealed garbage. Last I checked, games were to be played and not collected and solely used to act like a total elitist asshole and say "Oh I have this and you don't in a sealed slab of plastic, never to be touched by human hands again."

What a waste!

QFT. Sure, collecting is kinda cool, but don't you buy a game to, you know, fucking PLAY IT?

[Genesis Knight]

Newer pickups. All CIB and great shape. I feel really good about the Master of Monsters and Popful Mail prices - snagged MoM when it was first put on BIN and for Mail I asked a seller the question about condition and took a gamble when the auction didn't have any pics. Lunar is kind of more 'eh' - $40 is certainly no deal, and about the max going price I'd say.

Master of Monsters - $28
Lunar: Silver Star Story - $39
Popful Mail - $45

Uncharted 3


Tatsujin

Man, I really dig the bassline in this version - too bad it disappears as soon as you hit the fire button.
