Dammit, none of the cool stuff ships outside the States >_<

“System with 26 games”, ONLY $10,000!

But WAIT, if you order in the next five hours, we’ll knock a thousand dollars offa da’ price! (And we’ll also throw in this handy-dandy turnip twaddler at no extra charge!)

Forty one offers, and he turned them all down. More hope than sense — for that much money ya’d think there would be at least ONE of the real rarebies — Invaders, Lab, Bowling, Gundam. Heck, he doesn’t even offer Squash! At least Fishing and Insmouse are there. I wonder what it will eventually sell for? I’ve seen things listed on ebay for outrageous prices, sometimes they’ll be up for YEARS.

No one’s gonna pay $9000-$10000. I don’t think so, anyway…

Well THAT I can believe! The “big four” go for $800-$1500 each. (I paid $800 for Gundam, $450 I think for Invaders; never could afford Lab or Bowling). And the store units I’d think for several hundred.

Some day I’ll find a “vb pen” that I can afford (or maybe figure out how to counterfeit one for my own use).

He’s extended the “$1000 discount”; still bet it won’t sell. If I had that much extra cash, I’d buy a Penny Farthing (and a bowler hat & tails to go with it!). 🙂

(But, then, I really have all his games anyway!!! Except Japanese Jack-Bros…)

Holy crap, $1000 — and not even a box or manual! He’ll never sell it. I’m really glad I got both mine (w/o box, w/zeroxed manual) used, direct from Atlus. In the 90’s.

And now I can print a color manual from PlanetVB! 😀

Lucky guy!

1000$ ?This price was nuts!
I’m looking for JB US Boxed(and a new gameboy classic),and this games and consoles has his price.
But the prices on ebay are sometimes crazy and make me speechless….

Hmm, there’s something fishy with that Jack Bros. listing. I swear I’ve seen that cart for sale before, because I recognize the white carpeting it’s on haha. It was on eBay for quite a while, I believe in the $150-$175 range. The seller ID sounds familiar too. Hopefully it’s just a typo…

While I’m here, why is this game so rare anyway? I remember seeing a bunch of them at the KB Toys clearance sale, was it just a limited press??

Actually you’re right. I remember that picture too, complete with the strange blurry rectangle above the cart and everything. If it is a typo and it’s $100..then I might actually be a little interested.

It must be a typo.

There were fewer of them made than other titles; I checked all over in about ’97, couldn’t find one — called Atlus, “No we don’t have any.” I said, “Do you have any used?” She said, “Well, yes, but it would have to come with a photocopied manual.”

I said, “I’LL TAKE IT! TWO!” I didn’t pay a whole lot for them, I think about ten bucks each.

It’s a very good game, but suffers the same problem as most VB games — two dimensional images, set at three dimensional depths. The bosses are tough, especially the final one; use the “jump” disks to get all the lives and “snowballs/knives” you can, you’ll need them on the final.

Make it through the entire game without losing a man, wait out the credits, and there’s a secret code that allows you to play SUPER mode. Make it through the SUPER game, and there’s a secret code for a “pixie game”.
