Won't load for me either (using Firefox). Looks great - hoping you have a non-Kickstarter way to buy a copy!

I've never seen one in a blue case (I bought this game new and it came in a green case, plus I've seen lots of others that all had green cases). However, that is in the U.S. so I can't speak for PAL territories.

The "free Bonk" sticker means that the game was included in the box with a new TG-16 when NEC was trying to increase system sales. Those are two of my favorite games, period - huge fan of Bonk's Adventure especially, an out-and-out classic up there with Super Mario World as one of the best 16-bit platform games.

Quite a few physical games this generation aren't even really all there, since a lot of them need patches to work properly. I don't see the attraction in wanting a PS5 game in 10-15 years when they've turned off the servers to download the patches, although maybe there will be fan servers you can use. Having recently moved, I certainly can understand those who want less things in their life.

Can't forget Wild Woody

1. All the TurboChip games came in cardboard boxes. The early TurboChip games came with a hard plastic case inside the cardboard box, while the later TurboChip games just had a plastic tray to hold the TurboChip instead. All TurboChip games also came with manuals. CD games are a mixed bag - some early ones like Fighting Street did come in a cardboard box with CD case inside, while later ones just had the case and no outer cardboard box. 2. "CIC" - complete in case - is not complete for TurboChip games since you don't have the cardboard box. However, these boxes are difficult to find (not to mention expensive), so many people don't bother collecting them. Think of NES boxes and how many people just collect carts. 3. They are the same dimensions as CD cases, but different since they used a unique mold for holding the TurboChip instead of a disc. There's no back art on the cases (remember, they were sold inside cardboard boxes that had back art of their own for display in a store). The spine labels are original, except for later TurboChip games that included no case and, thus, no spine labels. Some people have produced aftermarket spine labels for those games that did not include a case if you want them. 4. There's a small plastic arm that holds the TurboChip in place along with a plastic sleeve for the chip itself. The exception is Keith Courage, which came in a case with no plastic arm (just like PC Engine games in Japan). If you get a legit U.S. case it should include that little plastic arm unless it's Keith Courage. 5. I've seen people use plastic sleeves that fit into binders to hold the games/manuals or even make ghetto cases out of CD cases. Someone else may have a better idea. 6. The Duo is awesome, although it's incredibly expensive these days. I believe Japanese systems may be cheaper, but the chip games are not compatible without an adapter. The CD games will play in either region's systems. 7. You've got a great collection already!

Castlevania

Amazing deal, congrats! Hopefully the TE just needs a recap, which seems likely as was already mentioned. Even if it ends up not working you got a steal, lots of very valuable and hard-to-find games there - and many of them are a blast to play as well.

I've beaten it but I did quit and come back to it later, despite getting it on release. It seemed a huge step down from LTTP and I still hold that view. The gameplay is in most ways inferior and it was sad going around mostly empty areas like the central field. I loved exploring the map in LTTP and it wasn't nearly as fun in OOT. Still a good game but also clearly surpassed by its successors. 6/10

Now available to preorder for $40 for the physical version.

The real WTF moment is when you realize the blue blob has a gun.

Disagree. There's no overworld portion in Battle of Olympus and when you get into it the game plays a lot different. It's also better than Zelda II in every way and one of my favorite NES games. Everyone who played Zelda II and was disappointed should try Battle of Olympus to see how a side-scrolling adventure game should be made. And if you liked Zelda II you'll adore Battle of Olympus

New Adventure Island is my favorite Adventure Island - definitely recommend.

For your reference as someone learning about the system: Early TurboChip (HuCard) games came with: outer cardboard box (these are a huge pain to find at this point in time), styrofoam block (like an NES game), plastic case, manual, HuCard, plastic sleeve for HuCard Late TurboChip games = outer cardboard box, clear plastic tray inside box, manual, HuCard Early CD games = outer cardboard box, styrofoam block, CD case, manual, CD Late CD games = CD case, manual, CD All games were sealed in shrinkwrap from the factory, but no Y-folds on at least the cardboard boxes (I can't remember offhand for the CD games). Also, I'm not sure on the colors. I thought at one point they indicated genre but that's just a guess.

Hey no worries, sorry if I came off as defensive or something in my reply (it wasn't meant to be). They are real TG-16 cases, just that I've replaced the original labels with ones people sell for those who want to put their games that came without cases in cases so that they match on the shelf. As @Dr. Morbishelpfully mentioned, at the end of the system's lifecycle they released games that came in cardboard boxes with clear plastic inserts that held the HuCard and manual, but no hard case like those included with the earlier Turbo games.

I used cases from other games, removed the original labels, and attached the fan-made labels (since as you know those games didn't come with cases). I wish I could find new-made replacement cases but sadly they aren't to my knowledge available.

Also, the disc pictured in this listing is different: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185534731263 Although other listings have discs the same as mine. Is the disc in that listing a fake? It looks homemade to me...

Thanks. I actually just checked my Bonk 3 CD (which I know is legit because I got it direct from TTI back in the day) and it's very similar, just with different numbers which I assume is true for each game - for example also checked Shape Shifter which is the same but a different number, and Exile Wicked Phenomenon which similarly has a different number but also has "Made in U.S.A." stamped on the inner ring. But my Sword Master has a different style altogether, which makes me wonder if there were different styles of disc used for different games - anyone know if there is an authoritative source of info on that sort of thing? But I do think it's probably unlikely pirates would be able to match the exact type of disc?

Hey guys - I just received this today, but I'm paranoid about fakes. Does anyone have a copy they know is legit and can compare with mine? There are a bunch of pictures on eBay but I'm nervous. Thanks in advance for your input.

10. I'm sure I've played it hundreds of hours and it's just amazingly fun as a multiplayer game anytime. Plus Koopa Troopa Beach is possibly my favorite Mario Kart track ever. That said, Mario Kart 8 is definitely the best Mario Kart game.

Good bump! Just made cases for these a couple days ago:

Gremlins 2 is an excellent game, plays really well and you've got that awesome Sunsoft music they almost always seem to come up with. If anybody hasn't tried it, especially if you liked other Sunsoft games, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
