    i know it wasn't the most common game in it's day, but $40 and still climbing for a US genny game?

    I`d say thats a common price for a very sought-after genesis game Loose oens usually go from 15 to 25 US

    Yep, this game does go for quite a bit. Has the poster and manual too. I have found this game in the wild several times but have never got the damn manual, always the box. I even bought a lot of genesis boxes from a store closing down and didn't get the manual with that box either, one of the few boxes that didn't have the manual, so IMO I think it's hard to come by. Sold the game for about 19 bucks a while back with the box and cart.

    Yeah, I remember when TJ&EIII was coming out, everyone wanted my two games, even without the books. I bought them both for $28 each a few years ago, mabye '98-'99. It's just never really gone down for some reason.

    yeah... Its got everything almost... Loose it usually goes for like 20-230 bucks, so this price is just right.

    Woah, where are you looking? What does a complete Japanese TJ&E have? I bought my Japanese copy (w/ box and manual) for maybe $20 or so.... I don't know if a complete copy comes with a poster or not.

    around all the auction sites and import retailers...everyone has a $150 copy of contra and a $220+ copy of alien soldier. i snagged my TJ&E for $4 complete/NM, so i figured it was a $10-15 game, best case scenario, since i'm pretty sure that while it was popular here, in japan...meh.

    "rare" and "pricey" aren't mutually exclusive, but wouldn't it be a nice suprise?...

    the complete japanese copy doesn't have a poster, AFAIK.
