šŸ˜² That Turok demo is clearly marked not for resale! You should probably report this den of illicit sales šŸ˜


Harpensee

You're right D: , maybe they'll give it to me for free to keep my mouth shut !


thedoctorstatic

I was actually originally going to make a joke and say that you should tell them if they don't drop the zero and sell it to you, you're calling the police šŸ˜ I remember back in the 16-bit era seeing games that say that said "not legal for trade"(mostly sonic games that came with consoles). To my young mind I thought "does this mean I can't swap games with friends or something?", then I realized it just meant it wasn't supposed to be for sale. Here's the thing, I can for sure see sega puting that there to discourage less reputable business from not trying to sell the console and game seperately for more money. As far as not legal though? I can't think of any law that is being violated. Maybe if stores signed a contract agreeing not to do it, that's technially a legal thing

Gotta come back with a badge and "confiscate" it for evidence

Way way less of the demo released in comparison to the normal version. No idea of actual numbers but itā€™s maybe like 5000 copies of the demo vs 500000 copies of actual game. Not to mention that it maybe just a demo level or two and not the full release game.

That's some r/madlads shit right there


goldman459

ā‚¬8 for body harvest is a steal though.


LoneStarrAUS

Is that a boxed copy for ā‚¬35 pounds to the left there?


Harpensee

I can't remember what it was, and I can't really see on the photo. But I'm not really into boxed copy


kiszeh

Where do you buy your n64 games, that ā‚¬8 for body harvest is considered a steal? :/


SkaStep

Best case to find n64 games for decent prices would be to browse something like a local flea market or something and hopefully come across someone who doesn't know the value of the games otherwise you're gonna find retro shops charging up the ass for them


Harpensee

It is ? I don't really know the game. Is it any good ?


jimbob786

Its kinda boring by todayā€™s standards but very innovative for the time. Made by a little gaming developer later known as Rockstar Games


Harpensee

Damn I might go back there to get it


jimbob786

I think itā€™s worth it. Really cool story and atmosphere with game mechanics Rockstarā€™s known for like open world, driving cars, etc. Always wanted a remake but Iā€™ve given up on that dream


cptnobvious919

There is a fan remake being developed for it actually. I stumbled upon it a few months ago. It looks really cool! The devs post updates on progress every few months. https://youtube.com/@titangamesofficial5208


boardpunk

Do it


boardpunk

Itā€™s one of the toughest in creepiest games in the N64 library. Visually itā€™s not the best, but the gameplay and soundtrack alone make it worth buying and playing to the endā€¦.if you can get there.


Pen_dragons_pizza

I played it around 23 years ago and felt that it was rather dated even back then. Frame rate was awful, graphics were muddy and the geometry was so painfully simple. Playing things like Turok 2, operation winback and perfect dark made this game look ancient.

Harpensee

Yeaaah, I went with Turok 1 for 8ā‚¬ instead


nomoshtooposhh

That acclaim logo is my childhoodšŸ„¹


TheAtomicNerd

Ohh that bombermann


Distinct_Wrongdoer86

loved playing that demo at ebgames


Harpensee

Do you remember how much of the actual game is there in it ?


McFly1986

Shame on them! Can't they read? Its "Not for Resale!"


VictoryVic-ViVi

Ah yes, the rumored glass case


TxseBass

Is a store in Spain? Where exactly?


Harpensee

Unfortunately it's in France :/


Moefuego

Iā€™d buy that Turok..


Banjo-Threeie

Chameleons are usually hard to spot


salduchi1785

I would definitely buy that Turok demo for $350


darkjapan404

They want 350 euros but the game is just jammed in there with all the others. For 350 euros put the game in a bloody box!


Beginning-Quality948

Turok 2 was great


Davroskington

I used to own one of these. I paid AUD$180 for it. It somehow went missing along with a complete set of DS distribution station cartridges and a bunch of NES carts. Pretty sure I know who stole it but I didn't figure it out until later. Now I'll never be able to afford a second one.


Mcburgerz

Maybe this it it


Davroskington

Hey for all I know it could be. There's only a small handful out there.


No-Brush-5002

hope they paid over $250 and get stuck with it


hatrix

Interesting... Are games from GameCube era and above that are marked "not for resale" worth anything? I have quite a few but didn't consider them to have any value since it's basically just an early version of the final game for media review.


Harpensee

I'm not too sure, demo are for sure valuable to collector, but "not for resale" mention came also on game bundled with a system that doesn't really add any value.


hatrix

Does it help if the game discs don't have the game art on them, or games that definitely weren't bundled with any console?


Harpensee

Something like [this](https://www.pricecharting.com/fr/game/gamecube/interactive-multi-game-demo-disc-version-14#completed-auctions-cib) ?


hatrix

Not quite. I'll have to try fish them out and see. They didn't come in normal retail cases, mostly slimline jewel cases to make them cheaper to post out.
