About this game

Soon the two girls join forces with a princess in exile, and work together to restore the throne to its rightful owners, persecuted by the ruthless Empire and its allies.
Though Basted may look like an RPG at first sight (medieval setting, top-down world, game progression that alternates between towns and dungeons, etc.), it is in fact primarily an action game.
Controlling Ryeza and Anita, the player explores the surroundings, talks to people and participates in battles to advance the story.
There are no levels, items, equipment, money system, or other required RPG elements.
Most battles occur as dictated by the plot, though some are optional.
The battles take place on a separate screen.
For most battles, the player is able to choose either Ryeza or Anita.
Ryeza can jump, and Anita has a long-ranged fire attack.
Regular attacks can be powered-up if executed when the attack power meter is at maximum.
Both girls can also charge power to execute devastating special attacks (two unique attacks per girl).
They are also able to dash and attack while dashing, inflicting more damage.
The game features a large amount of fully voiced anime-style cutscenes to advance the story.
About TurboGrafx CD
The TurboGrafx-CD (1989) was one of the earliest CD-ROM add-ons for a home console, expanding the TurboGrafx-16's library with games too large for cartridges. Its already-niche parent platform combined with the added cost of the CD add-on kept the North American audience small, making complete TurboGrafx-CD sets a genuinely rare find for collectors today.
Gamevaro tracks Basted for TurboGrafx CD with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Basted to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This TGCD release dates back to 1994.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Basted, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common TurboGrafx CD titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
