My yoshi's Island SNES set, with a bunch of dirt cheap GC games.

nah, Mega Drive wasn't a flop, just not as popular as the PC Engine or SFC. I'd say that the Mega dRive did better in Japan than the Saturn did in Europe

Oh yeah, Telegames are last. Over priced, poor condition and idiot staff is what I remember about them when I tried to buy a PC Engine TG from them many years ago.

The only things I ever bought from Telegames were English versions of Evolution and Faselei for the NGPC at £40 a pop upon release. A bargain considering how much the value of them rose, at least until bundles of loose copies of Faselei started appearing on t'eBay.

Yeah flops probably a bit harsh as it wasn't exactly 3do sales but it was still behind the SFC, PCE and also the Famicom, I suppose it did well enough for some JPN devs to consider it worth supporting though, sort of like the 360 atm.

I could buy a copy of Brave Fencer Musashi, for PSX, NTSC/J, great condition, for €12.
it is any good? looked eBay, it sells for about twice the price, but I was wondering if it's a game I could enjoy, as I wouldn't interested in purchasing it to resell on eBay...

Didnt Telegames distribute quite a few obscure games in the UK? I remember Soccer Kid (GBA) being one and lots of Atari Lynx games. Maybe thats how theyre still in the business.

Yup, they did some Jag games, too.

I got my imported MD from there in about 1989 and although the store has a bad reputation it was a pretty awesome place back in the early '90s. Lots of import goodies, although the prices were obviously a joke.

Now you come to mention it I DID buy more stuff from Telegames. I have a copy of Desert Strike for the Lynx that's literally just a circuit board with a Telegames sticker on it!

[MattyD]

They've brought out Soccer Kid on just about every platform known to man, maybe they own the rights or something?

cool, much better than a plastic guitar (hero)

[Duddyroar]

I remember the magazine ad for that. A photo of a pre-teen little girl staring at you with emotionless eyes with the tag line "Play me, I'm a Miracle".

In hindsight, probably not the best advert ever, TBH.

[pentarou]

Telegames had a shop in Peteborough in the early 90s, was my first proper exposure to import gaming! I remember buying New Zealand Story for the MD there and a convertor to play it on my pal machine and trying out Super Ghouls and Ghosts on the Super Famicom.

If you're serious about learning the piano do what I did. Get yourself a kick ass midi keyboard and a copy of Saturn Music school 1 or 2. It's really well put together in the method of teaching.
