hey list,
    a quick note from tokyo.  prices are pretty darn good these days 
for the most part.  having scoured akihabara, i picked up lots of great 
deals on PCE stuff but there are some intersting notes (i:ll send you 
more info when i get back next week).  
    for the first time ever, i found SuperGrafx 1941.  actually, TRADER 
had 2 copies in stock and they were very cheap at Y8,000.     Sapphire is more expensive than ever at about $320.00
    Dead of the Brain has disappeared.  it was everywhere the last time 
i found it in akihabara (two years after its release).  the one copy i 
found was $100.     some NeoGeo quiz game freaked me out when i saw the price of 
it....240,000 yen!  this must be a pretty rare cart indeed.     picked up cosmic fantasy 3 for about $2.00
    nectaris hu card (bare) for less than one dollar.
    PC-FX in the box $80.00.  that store must have been blowing it out 
cause i ve seen it for much more in other places.     macross 2036 is about $35 right now which is a great price for this.
    dracula X is back to being well over $100 again.

--------
   that:s it for now.  if anyone is here in tokyo and wants to meet up, 
drop me an email.  here till wednesday.  peace, george
