Very cool.

I was reading through all the games and was suprised to see Nightmare in the Dark listed.
The local arcade by my house has this game running in a 3 game MVS cabinet.
I play it a few times a month when I go there.

Whoever wrote the rest of these write-ups must be related to whats his name metal slug writeup moron.

Consistent misinformation:

No, Kizuna never sold for 12k, and as seen by the recent auction, would be lucky to get 2k. No, U11 never sold for 8k, just fantasies.

My favorite part is the entire "PAL" thing. WTF - there has never been any such thing as a PAL AES or MVS Cart. People are so fuckin stupid they dont even understand the terms they are using in their own articles. Pathetic.

articles like that are stupid because that scare people away from the hobby rather than gather attention to it.

How so?

And for everyone who is too dense to read and understand the original post - I wrote the "GHOSTLOP" piece - none of the others.

I'm not saying it sold for 12k but using the most recent auction as a reference is just dumb since it didn't run the full duration of the auction, it was ended early so the 1 current point of reference was just thrown out the window. I wish it went through as I really wanted to exactly it was gonna sell for.

Either the seller got an outside offer or he was just a cock tease.

Thats the point, there never was an ebay auction that saw a Kizuna sell for 12k, or even 2k for that matter. There is noone here that has come forward and said, yes, I paid 12k for kizuna. The reason is it never happened.

The fact the last auction was up for a few days, and I think didnt even get a bid, says something about the game price. People like to perpetuate the myth for what reason I have no idea, but it is complete fantasy.

Well it had bids, it was at about 10 bids and $2.1k(1015 euros) when it was pulled with still 7 days to go. So this one would have sold for at least 2k.

It's a good thing ChrisR didn't get his hands on those few PAL Kizuna's or we'd have a total of zero copies with the real insert.
