The Story of Fouinox
KalessinDB:
So jealous of you ROB owners. Just about the only first-party NES accessory I don't have. Just so much other cheapish stuff I want to add to my collection that I don't want to spend crazy bucks on 1 thing that I wouldn't really use too much if I'm being honest. And deals like you all are talking about... I don't see those all that often, especially not for Nintendo stuff.
Arseen:
I have R.O.B.
I have full Gyromite set for it.
I have full Stack-up set for it.
I have full unopened Jap Stac-up set for it.
I have extra stack-up tray set & two pieces (blue and yellow IIRC), so if someone has the 3 missing pieces and set of gray claws I can take them of your hands so I would have full back up set.

If you decide to unload those instead of going for a backup set, let me know as I would be interested.

I don't remember the Aladdin deck enhancer. Interesting.
LOL I bet people ask for silly prices.
I'll do some more research. Thanks for mentioning this one...

It was a way to try to make cheaper carts, so nothing special on it. The deck enhancer had some of the chips used by all games, basic mapper and nes10 chip ect, and the games were stripped down carts with just the game\graphics. A whole bunch of new stock was found years ago, so you can buy the system and all 6 games, unopened, for about $100.

good info, Thanks Ozzy_98. By the way, I notice that you also like Haunted House game. Haunted House is one of my favs. Good memories.
Ozzy was my High School nickname - I am a fan of Ozzy Osbourne and we share the same given name. I like Let Me Hear You Scream lately and I usually listen to it while scanning ;D

But a complete lack of knowledge is a whole other issue. Obviously, the seller does not know that the name of the game is Equinox. I can see why it could happen due to the artistic lettering. However, the example that I have found on ebay is being sold by a video game store owner. What? you sell video games but do not even know the appropriate titles? unbelievable yet funny. :)
You have a good point Ozzy_98: I will search for typos and odd interpretations. maybe I will get lucky and find a rare game for a good price ;D
By the way, I must be completely honest: I have never heard of TurboGrafx games until 1998. I started researching games online and stumbled across TurboGrafx articles on gaming websites. I still have limited knowledge of these games. I'm a moderate gamer. I'm now a member of the 40 something club, so i'm not a novice but I do not remember hearing this name when I was growing up. I didn't even know what Neo-Geo was until I started researching video games. Interesting.

Maybe the seller is not an english speaker :p. I remember when i began to learn english for the speaking test i memorized many of the word using spanish, off course this is a fast way to pass the test but many people will not use again (in Spain the vast majority) so if someone listening biohazard probably will write baiojasard :P.
A good example of that:
