Turbo Grafx 16

[ramzastrife]

Other have mentioned Cotton, and it is super duper fun.

Totally go for the JP version instead of the US. There is a language select in the JP version which allows you to play the whole game in English, so you're basically just paying a premium for the US version if you want a translated manual and disc are that doesn't say PC Engine on it.

Vic, I hope you sold that Magical Chase in the last year or so instead of further back. Right now it's like a $5000+ game if it's complete with the box. It blows my mind. I'll stick the the pirate US cart I had made awhile back instead, and keep the extra money to upgrade my house or something.

Wow. And it's only mint. I wonder how much they would be asking for a new copy if they had it.

DAFUQ? That is absolutely insane.

Somewhere well before that price point is where I draw the line with video games...

Yeah, $5k was my "magical" number. Once I realized what that single game was going for with the original stuff, it was sold. The crazy thing is, I got that copy on a visit to TTi, straight from the case they just got from the factory. They offered as many as I wanted, but I only took one. Hindsight: It can be painful.

Yeah well before I had a tg16 and just heard rumblings of such a console, I always knew that magical chase was a sought after game.

that's an ebay price gouger. ebay may be the best place to find turbo games, but the worst with prices. He and many others like him are why collecting Turbo games *s*u*c*k*s*. Most of those guys want to rob collectors.
if he were auctioning his Magical Chase, the final price would be roughly half that at the very least.
spoilers: Magical Chase isn't even that good.

for the price that guy wants for his copy, I could buy a LE Wizard of Oz pin and have almost enough left over to buy a hyperspin (which would have Magical Chase on it. along with every other Turbo & PCE Hu-card game)

seeing the price, it's obvious the owner didn't put it up with the intention of selling it, looks like he's trying to irritate anyone who may be after a copy of that game

It's double the high side of the going rate. Can't imagine he intends to really sell it.

Are there any technical differences between Magical Chase on Hucard and CD? I think it was released on CD/Hucard in Japan. Like is the music or gameplay smoother on CD?

It wasn't released in Japan as a CD, just HuCard as well. In Japan though, there were two versions or print runs that were made. One was the regular version, the second run was a "fan" version with slight packaging differences. The actual game is exactly the same.

The US version of Magical Chase does have some graphical differences to the JP version, here is a very nice comparison page between the US and JP versions:

There was a PC CD version of Magical Chase.
