Rhomaios Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I already own this, but I'm curious, why are you parting with it? I thought it was an excellent shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) I think it's a good game, but $80 worth? I think there are better shooters on the DC and Saturn in the same price range that I'll enjoy more. Sturmwind to me has a bunch of design quirks typical of Euro shooting games I don't really care for, like boring enemy patterns/layouts and foreground objects that blend with the backgrounds. It also has some odd music design choices, like starting out with a trance track, then going to something chiptune in style on the second level that doesn't really fit with the game at all. I'd rather play Giga Wing, Mars Matrix, Ikaruga, or something like that and I'd rather have those in my (now small) DC collection. Maybe someone that feels those are too hard will be up for trading for Sturmwind? We'll see. Edited February 5, 2015 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Sturwind can be summed up like this... If you like the Gradius series, you will LOVE it! If you do not like Gradius, you will admire the efforts of a small developer but politely trade it for something else Just my opinion, for a homebrew though, this game is very good. I thought the LE was out of print? I got $150 for mine on ebay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the prices are dumb on eBay but the store on the Red Spot Games website (publisher) says it is in-stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That's crazy. Are people buying it on ebay for that amount? "A fool and his money..." For those who love Gradius, as CC said, it's a great buy. This was one of my few pre-orders in the past decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who love Gradius, as CC said, it's a great buy. This was one of my few pre-orders in the past decade. Yeah, I pre ordered both the regular and the limited edition. Saw that the LE's were fetching a lot of coin so I kept my regular and popped the LE on Ebay. This was right around the time the game was released though so maybe they ended up having more stock/etc..

SuperDork3000 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 No Krakor plushie? And FWIW, Sturmwind is one of the finest examples of a homebrew release and well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) No Krakor plushie? Nope.. The Krakor doesn't come with the standard LE pack. It seems for a little while there on eBay though they were bundling it with LE packs as a bonus, but not any longer from what I can tell. It is listed separately for 25 Euro on the Red Spot Games website but is sold out at the moment. Edited February 18, 2015 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Modified the original post to reflect my early "Spring Cleaning". Open for trade options as well. Lots of photos added, including some for Sturmwind that is still open for trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 How much for the cat? The cost of your soul. If you are OK with that, I'll let you know where to send it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Bump for adding Knuckles Chaotix (32X, CIB), Ninja Ryukenden (Famicom, cart only), and Excitebike (NES, cart only). I am considering listing my copy of Redux: Dark Matters, but I'm not sure. Potentially Trizeal as well if anyone is interested in it.

Austin Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Fast Striker, Sturmwind and Knuckles Chaotix are now gone. Just a few things left now, nothing too crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I added Konami Arcade Advance for the GBA and REDUX: Dark Matters for the Dreamcast. Thinking about listing my Last Hope: Pink Bullets for the Dreamcast. If anyone's interested, let me know. **Edit: I went ahead and added Pink Bullets. I'll try to get some photos of these later today. They are all in excellent condition, each originally bought new/sealed within the last year.

Gredler Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Bump for well cared for items that are shipped quickly packed nicely and priced great. Thanks for the games Austin, can't wait to get into another shmup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Does the $4 Wiimote charging station package + shipping reach the $10 minimum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 "I need funds for PAPA" bump. Does the $4 Wiimote charging station package + shipping reach the $10 minimum? Sorry RJ, that'd be a no-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Bump. Just charged something to the 'ole PayPal credit line so I could use selling off a few more things here. Might be able to work out a bundle deal if you're up for taking everything in a flat-rate Priority Mail box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
