I was in the Simpsonville Flea Market here in Kentucky and found a guy selling a Turbografx-16(with instructions) and 7 games for $50. The system looked really interesting, but the seller wasn't willing to make any real deals. He sold it to me for $45. I don't really know anything about the Turbografx(honestly I'd never heard of it) so I bought it on pure collectors instinct. The games he included were: Space Harrier, China Warrior, Vigilante, World Class Baseball, Blazing Lazers, R-Type, and Bonk's Adventure. Did I get my money's worth?

Sorry, this should've been in the what's it worth thread. My bad.

You did pretty good, considering you would have to deal with a shipping fee if a similar package was found online. Even better if the games are complete.

Yeah, you did pretty good, especially if it came with a TurboBooster.

Decent price for tg-16 and a few games.

The system itself can go for around $30 (w/ hook-ups & controllers). None of those games are worth that much (most for any would be $20). As a lot like that, it would really depend on luck how much you could get for it, but I'd say anywhere from $50 to $100. It would be better to keep it and play it though, imho. There's plenty of good games for the system. R-Type is probably the best game out of that lot, but it depends on what kind of games you like. My favorites on the system are Neutopia I & II and Splatterhouse.
