I paid £300 for TNZS (old version). £250 would probably be a quick sale. It's been around that for a long while, disregarding the doubled price tags that no one's paying.

Like all this pish, it depends on the version and region

I sold an “old” TNZS for £195 shipped on 03/08/2023. It went fast and there were 3 people after it, so it was probably a bit cheap.

I paid $320 on 09/12/2021 for the “new” version that replaced it (It took me 2 years to find the original to sell)

Yeah thanks, I’m assuming it’s the older version what’s the diff?

In old version you start at the lions cage in 1-1. It's the version that was ported to almost every computer and console. It's a single PCB.

New version is a rearrangement. The levels are mixed up and some background tiles are changed. New's 1-1 is Old's 1-2. It's harder I think. There's a daughterboard added to the PCB with more roms.

Old version is the classic game that I prefer. New version feels a bit bastardised to me. Cools is a Tiki aficionado and he prefers New version.

There are other revisions of old version but I'm not sure what difference they make. I remember a conversation about my old version seeming to have more background graphics than older old versions. I dunno. I've now ran out of NZS version knowledge.

What version is it?

Interested in any kind of swap or are you looking for cash only?

Varies quite wildly but I paid £450 shipped two years ago from geosnow if that helps. It was the better/original version with full soundtrack. Yeah, you're in another new version/old version situation. https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=40162

Thinking of parting with my Rainbow Islands PCB. Know it’s gotten a bit expensive over the last couple of years. Anyone got the info on how much?

Regular :)

Thanks for the answer! Just saw one go on Yahoo Japan for at least the double of that. If not more. For 700 it’s almost isn’t with selling.
