Re: You've Got Grail! The Valuation Thread
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.

Re: You've Got Grail! The Valuation Thread
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?pubjoe wrote: May 12th, 2024, 11:03 pm 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.

Re: You've Got Grail! The Valuation Thread
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’s the going rate for an official Taito Vewlix JAMMA kit? I just have the two boards, harness and volume dial.

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?

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.
