Add pictures in this topic of your newest additions to your PC-Engine Collection :)
The Hucard wallets eh? Nice.
There's already a "what did you buy today" thread elsewhere (which I refuse to check due to envy) but I guess it's not specifically PCE
yes they are :)
well... then this thread is ok :)
looking forward to some nice pics
some more obey today!

Thanks to Andrew at Aetherbyte.com :)
got some new stuff today... Turbo Express in very good and working condition, no dead pixels, sound ok, very clean, box ok. and some games.... oh and some pads, taps :)
everything together for around 200$, which I think is fair.
I love the GT/Turbo Express, thats why I had to get the Turbo Express, looks fine next to the boxed GT :)

Ehhhhhhhh, I say let this thread stay, it is pcengine-fx.com after all. :wink: it won't hurt to have a deticated PC engine "gots" thread. besides all shadows pc goodies arn't buried by a bunch of other goodies.

Flash Hiders
Alien Crush rocks..... Flash Hiders too, did someone actually play this seriously? Well I did when it came out and I thought it was very good.... of course no competition for SF2 but anyway a really good and unexpected fighter.
Not much to share after yesterday's trip to the mail room, but the 6' controller extensions I had ordered came in so I am pretty pleased about that. Now I can enjoy pce rpg goodness while laying in bed without having to burn up batteries or get up...much. Still haven't figured out how to do the tennokoe fire drill to swap banks without getting up yet.

Only $910 shipped from Hong Kong to the U.S. for all 40 CIC games. (not too cheap, but not too bad I think, considering what I got.)
Note: Berabo Man and Body Conquest were loosies to fill my empty cases with manuals that I had for the two.
Note: 5-6 of the cheapie CD games came game, manual, & back insert only, so that's why 3 of them are currently in standard black cases rather than white. (I was able to scrounge up the other 2 or 3.)
HONG KONG FUEY.
NUMBER ONE SUPA GUY.
Arrived today, just in time to start the saga:

I was always impressed with the colors of the PC Engine. They were so eye catching. Back in the day I had the genesis and my buddy had a tg16 and I was so impressed with the colors and I had to get one. I ended up getting a used turbo express and a bunch of games. That thing owned me for years and my genesis collected dust until the Saturn and ps1. It wasn't until a few years ago I finally got back into the genesis. Now that I got a turbo and PCE it'll be a while before I pick something else up.
Back then systems were so different and so unique in their displays. I thought that the tg16 was very clever in graphical display and really stood out.

Received my copy of Pyramid Plunder yesterday. I've yet to play it.
Just played the game for the first time. I'm usually not a big fan of Pacman clones but PP is a very pleasant game. Maybe the best PCE homebrew so far. It's a huge leap since Insanity. Congrats Arkhan.

Bardoly, Makai Prince Dorabocchan is sick, play it asap and hit me up if you need hints!
One thing that took me a while to realise, is that the tomatoes you collect during the level rain down on the boss to cause damage. So they're worth seeking out.

I really like those Ultra Box disks. I have four out of six (still need 2 and 6). The programming on them is really buggy, but it's an awesome look into what was happening on the PCE at the time. There's cool stuff on them, like primitive digital scans of fan artwork.
yeah, ultraboxes are fun.

Quote from: VestCunt on 03/07/2013, 01:31 PMAnime4ever, AKA Fudoh, is a forum lurker that took an early version of Bonknuts freely-available ISO of the first Megaman PCE port, burned it on high-quality CD-Rs, made some packaging, and is selling it for €49. Not only is his gouging price insane, but he's passing it off as a legitimate PCE release. He neglects to inform his customers that they're paying fifty euro for a CD-R, he doesn't tell them that it's a free homebrew hack, he doesn't tell them that it's not the latest version, and he doesn't credit Bonknuts for doing all of the work.
Quote from: VestCunt on 05/02/2012, 02:27 AMThere are three things you should consider before giving any money to anime4ever:
1) He's a gouger. He originally tried to sell SFZ for $160. $100 or whatever he's charging now is still insane considering these things are CD-Rs.
2) He's a liar. He came around here in 2005 saying he bought a box of Sapphires in Tokyo, feigned ignorance regarding their origin, and put up that "small site" (anime4ever.de) just to sell those few copies. Link (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=737.msg4215#msg4215). His deception started a years-long debate about all of these new Sapphires floating around. Endless idiots drank the Cool-Aid and argued long and hard that their precious Sapphires that they paid too much money for must surely be from a 2nd printing, not bootlegs. Anime4ever eventually dropped the pretense when he pressed SFZ, expanded his site, and sold a couple spindles of his misprint Sapphires bootlegs to BlueBMW.
3) He's a thief. That Rockman hack was made by Bonknuts. Link (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=10564.msg212188#msg212188). Fudoh stole it and it's not even the latest version.

Do want!!!
You should scan those stickers Punkic so Sparky and others can make reproductions! I need something to go with my TG16 magnets anyway :D
Picked up a copy of Jim power. Thanks to shubibiman

Too bad Jim Power isn't as cool as the cover.

I almost pulled the trigger on that. I think I stared at that auction page for a good five minutes before I passed. Sounds like you got a deal!
Yeah the ad said it just showed a blank screen. I remember seeing a similar screen when my huey's had dirty contacts or the huey slot needed cleaning and sure enough that's what it was. Then I opened up the cdrom drive and the gear was stuck. Greases it up and popped in Macross and it fired right on up. There's some yellowing but not too bad. So pumped to get this. Been wanting one for a long time.
recently got this: /w96j.jpg
Got Meteor Blaster DX, Implode, a complete copy of Final Zone 2 Turbo CD and a TurboDuo.
Just got my turbo everdrive roll on parasol stars, override and magical chase.
PCEngineHell just hooked me up with Japanese splatter house, legendary axe 2, and neutopia 2 happy days.
These came in a little while back, but I hadn't had the time to post them until now.

Yep! I went to the one in University district I think? I think I actually liked Another Castle better, but it was cool to see PC Engine games in the wild in the US. :) Kinda makes me appreciate Doc's more, to be honest they have more PCE than I saw in Washington and they are only a 30 min drive away! :D
Prices seem to be all over the map for these stores though. Most stores are quick to tell you they give fair market value and it's based on "lots of sources" but god help you if you ask what the sources are. Seriously, not to be a dick, I think Game Force in Boulder and Doc's in Aurora (both of them, particularly if you talk to the right guys) were better. The guys at the stores in CO actually love PCE, the guys in WA seamed confused by it.
Purchased these PC Engine titles tonight:
1. Break In
2. Gradius
Funny thing is...I owned these titles previously! But since I sold ALL my collection years ago...I'm trying to RE-COLLECT my favorite titles :)
Didn't get these tonight, but the last games I remember buying were Magicoal, Ys IV, and L-Dis.

I absolutely agree. Have you beaten all three of them yet?
Not sure if you were talking to me or not, so I apologize if you meant esteban :P
I've beat L-Dis and have just started playing Ys IV recently. I was originally hoping to play the translation but none of my computers have a write speed lower than 12x :C so I'm stuck with the extremely tedious Youtube method to follow the story. Hoping to save Magicoal for when I find another person to play with (good luck with that @ myself)
Won a loose Mr. Heli for 12USD including ship.
Also purchased an Avenue Pad 3 for 15USD.
Long story short, today I picked up all this Obey

Quote from: Bardoly on 08/09/2013, 01:27 AMI wants one!
They're cool to own, but as you're probably well aware of, they do develop sound issues (bad caps?).
That's the case with the one to the left of the pic. It arrived in pretty bad shape. I cleaned it up as best I could (you can still see the discoloration on the case). And since I know eff all with regard to the technical/repair side of things, I'm forced to draw the sound out of the CoreGrafx.

Yeah, I'm loving the system so far. There's something really compelling about it...the way the graphics pop off the screen, the pick-up-and-play nature of the games etc. The PC Engine is majestic.

Makes for a nice little system to bring over to parties/meetups too. I usually play on my Duo-R but I keep a white PCE around for 5-player Bomberman sessions at friends' houses and the like.

This is about a month ago, until today..
Schibibinman3 bought from HitJapan for about 30-40USD cannot remember. Won a domestic ebay action for AdvanceVG for 10 bucks w/ free ship. Mr Heli loose from Ebay under 10USD, incredible game. and after searching for a long time for another WORKING PCE pad, picked this Avenue 3 for 20USD including ship from a store somewhere in Europe.
Mr. Heli is an awesome pickup for $10! I still haven't been able to beat the lvl 2 Boss (the giant ball that nearly insta-kills you upon touch, but up until then it's pure heaven. And I'm sure once I figure that guy out theere will be plenty of more joy. It's a great game.

Good luck with that.
Been looking for months and I have contacted quite a few that used to do them with no luck.
Avoid Raven Games [-X unless you want to pay big bucks and they are bodgers of the highest order.
You could try getting a NEC RGB/AV BOX which outputs an amplified RGB scart (nice) and composite+audio L/R
RGB-AV-Booster.webp (google is your friend)
No modification required, plugs into the ext bus, but you won't be able to use it in conjunction with a CD unit.

^nice way to support people trying to do something for PC Engine hacking world. No wonder people quit doing this for free.
I remember having the Hucard back in 1999 of Altered Beast and liking it. So I bought both. THe Huey and CD

Xak, I buy games, both good and bad, based on forum discussions (I am intrigued by the game and want to play it for myself). That is not the issue, really (for me, anyway).
The issue, really, is how sincere you are. There is no point to trying to "prove" your sincerity, though, since doubters are always gonna doubt.
Skeptics are always gonna be skeptical.
Validus is always gonna be Validus.
Et cetera, et cetera.
Personally, I have given you the benefit of doubt, but it is in your own best interest to avoid drama, make sincere posts, and proceed.
I dont know if its nostalgia, but I remember having a great time with the Huecard. I will try the CDrom version next to see how it fares.
Make sure you use System Card 1.0 or you won't be able to proceed further once your transformed into a beast.
I just played the pce and genesis ports of altered beast and damn, the pce port seems as if it has 2 more megs of memory, one example is the first enemies you will see, the zombies, the pce port has 3 frames for walking and the genesis has 2 frames, but the pce has what I call full body animation, the bottom half and the top half(torso and arms are animated) where is the genesis the top half is un animated and of course the pce also has an death animation of about 5 frames, the uses the same single frame that all enemies use in the pce port....I think between the pce cd, hucard and genesis ports the pce cd is my favorite.
^ I also remember high enemy detail in the HUCARD version. I have yet to play the CD version so I cant comment.
Next weekend cant get here fast enough!

Got me a loose copy of R-Type. Fun game, gona trudge through it, learn all those patterns.
The first 2 levels are a cake walk. Level 3 still gives me trouble at the end. Level 4 is when it really gets challenging. Great game. I never have had the patience to make it to the end (maybe it should be nominated for the weekly gameplay gig) but I used to have a roommate that would play it every night for a long while and got darn close. Those were good times. :)

Must say the build quality is very nice.
Edit: Woops(?), my graphics card showed up.
Finally obtained Bomberman 94.
I wanted it ever since I was 7 years old. Barely knew about retro games, except for the Mario Advance games and a Bomberman PC collection.
It's like the greatest game ever (shorter than 93, but more diverse and fun gameplay). A true HuCard swan song.

Burning Angels by Naxat, very excited to get this one!
Got Mizubaku Daibouken CIB today! Took me 3 years of waiting to get it.
Pretty neat game. Somewhat difficult, but I'm worming my way through.
New sealed copy of Xak III arrived in the post from Japan last week. Looking forward to playing it with the translation patch.

Been waiting for this to come in for a couple weeks. I love UPL and really wanted this after beating Gomola Speed. I have it on Genesis but my cart doesn't seem to be working anymore even after cleaning it. I just wish UPL ported Mutant Night to pce. There's cameos from Ninja Kid and Mutant Night in both these UPL releases.
debating on getting Tengai Makyo II and Y's IV. Playable without knowing Japanese?
Also, has anyone bought any of the PC Engine lots off of eBay? It seems like an interesting/fun thing to get just to see what all you might get and dig through.
@Alucard555: There's a fan translation of Ys IV available by Burnt Projects, which will translate both text and speech.
What you still need (obviously) is the original CD.
I just picked up a used tennokoe bank card. What are the doss that a fan translated Ys IV will work with the original saves from the card?
Picked up a cordless controller set that I've been wanting for awhile. Also a couple kiddie games.

Quote from: max 330 mega on 01/30/2014, 01:16 AMcan you use 2 controllers with one IR receiver with that controller set?
Yes. The receiver works like a five player tap with the switch on the controller setting which spot you take.
Some new goodies. Weird thing is that Valis 1 is a Super Cd . 3 and 4 are regular CD ROM2.
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag88/toymachine78/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140130_212349_386_zps1cd8fe00.jpg)
Valis was the last game made, which is why it's Super CD. They probably skipped porting it because it was "too old", starting with Valis II which was new at the time; apparently the others sold well enough to warrant porting the original when they didn't have a Valis V to port.
Ah.... man talk about chronologically confused! :-s

Cool! I will definitely check those out. Nothing like flipping through the real thing though. My friend and I were just lamenting our long gone EGMs and Game Pro magazines. I also had a couple of Video and Computer Games, I think the name was? And some older Commodore 64 Mags like Run. Turbo Play/Force was the only ones I was sensible enough to keep. I still think I might be missing one or two issues at the end though. I remember clearly waiting for some issues to arrive that never showed up, I was mad since my subscription definitely wasn't up. Looking back, I think it was probably the start of NEC and Turbo Play having some financial troubles. I gotta look up a list though to be sure. I think the last one I got might of had Dungeon Explorer II on the front? And I think it was called Duo World at that point...
I got Image Fight today. For years I thought this was an awful game but playing it I know I was thinking of another game...or maybe I was just stupid as a kid :D

I also traded out my US CIB N.Spirit for a JP loose at the store...since I now have 3 PCE's (well, and one Express) and makes more sense to get Japan versions now. No power or controller, but I have a white pad already. It does have the lid (http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0B6XVC48SOj4KQ3o5RjRYa3VJNUk), no worries. I was able to find a wall wart at Goodwill that has the correct volts/amps and ghetto fabricate a working power supply after drilling a tip to be a bit wider. I happen to have my buddys US CD-ROM and ACD Pro in my house after finishing some drive repairs, so I tested it right with Sapphire.
Guess I'll be on the hunt for a white CD-ROM now...the chase never ends...

I'm loving that Kabuki Den tin. Was that released as a limited edition with the game or was it released afterwards?

I would also like to know this, as I am also unsure if this was a limited release or not. I have looked around the net but have found nothing so far on this release.
The game inside the tin has the same release ID of the retail non-tin boxed version HCD 3046

100% agree, saw one for sale and didn't hesitate... was pretty ok for $9 :)
I picked up a much-needed Tennokoe Bank, but it ended up being a dud unfortunately. Oh well, at least they're pretty cheap... and I have the case and manual now, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a loose one somewhere.
Also grabbed a copy of Kiaidan 00, because giant robots. :dance:

There was a gent here who pried the top off a tennokoe and replaced the battery, that might be all you need to do to bring it back to life. The batteries in all of them are going to die eventually anyway.

I picked up another controller for $27.99 shipped. After cleaning the contacts it works great!
My Everdrive cover arrived too! It makes it so much easier to remove.

Hi all! Got some stuff this past week.
(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i271/dapietri/box_zps69f71e0e.jpg)
Currently my new copy of Dracula X is living inside of it.
(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i271/dapietri/system_zps6a7c0054.jpg)
System's in incredible condition. Box, manuals, foam, even the foam / plastic baggies for everything. Crazier still, nobody in 20 years took the protective plastic off of the controller.
(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i271/dapietri/IMAG0098_zps99797f33.jpg)
I've never seen a lot of the manuals / cards that apparently came with this system. I should scan them...

Enjoy this moment. It will be an experience you will never forget :-) and if you have surround audio, crank it up LOOOOUD!

Trust me it was a rare find, and only because I listed games that weren't moving here...those got snapped up pretty quickly.
Happy with the grab, but I can't keep two systems....so my pce/ifu is gonna be put up...sigh :?
Hmm...guess I can share what I have been grabbing lately... Some of the titles are USA ones, but I didn't feel like editing them out of my excel doc. :)

. DAAAAA-YUM!!!! That is a pile of games! Makes my wallet shudder in fear.
You didn't happen to be the person who picked up the Wizardry games from me were you?
I got the Wizardry games off eBay, but I dont remember who the seller was. My username there is jimilee2012
I added these today!
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/retrogamecollectorjim/DSC03364.jpg)
My noobness caused me to pick up the Gradius II sound track :lol:
EDIT: The seller sent the wrong item so I'm waiting to hear from them.
Oooo, nice! Some day I'll get my score high enough to unlock the last few monsters in Godzilla.
Quote from: guest on 05/09/2014, 03:45 PMOooo, nice! Some day I'll get my score high enough to unlock the last few monsters in Godzilla.
I also got a bunch of Godzilla Blu Rays! I'm slowly (as released) replacing my dvds!
I'm still just learning the controls so I have a ways to go before unlocking anything! :oops:
I think it controls surprisingly well for only using one attack button; you'll be smashing beasties down in no time. The only move I can't pull off for shit is Godzilla's growl, but I don't think it does anything but look cool anyway.
These are my latest Obey scores !!

Bought my first ever PC Engine last week, a Core Grafx2 with a Super CDROM2. Cost me a bit too much really but bothered.
Then went and bought a bunch of hucards, R-Type, Fantasy Zone, Peachboy, Jackie Chan & New Zealand Story.
Can't wait to get playing with this (after an RGB mod, of course) :mrgreen:
I ordered these a month ago and they finally arrived.

It was
about the same as the going ebay rate( I payed $42), but a couple other games were less than ebay. I mainly saved on shipping by buying them from the same location.

I made a $200.00 offer on a $300.00 listing on feebay, and my offer was accepted. I'm not thrilled about paying that much for it, but such is life. At least the guy gave me the shipping free, even though I didn't ask for it. I got the two games together for $210 shipped. Unless a forum member here will give someone a break, I don't think it's findable for under $200 nowadays. :(

NOT A SINGLE PERSON COMMENTED ON THE FACT THAT YOU WANTED Blackhole Assault. The only enjoyment from that game was listening to the story (all the cinemas are narrated in English). It's not a good story, but who cares? I am such a dumf&ck, I actually bought Sega CD version of Blackhole Assault to see if it was as bad.
It was.

Quote from: reson8er on 05/23/2014, 10:15 AMI'm pretty stoked to have 4 games I bought off Japangamestock waiting for me at the post office today.
They are:
Download
Image Fight
Macross 2036
Iga Ninja Gaou
Lot's pf PC Engine goodness for the long weekend.
Just finished checking out the games I received, download is pretty awesome! Anyway, I also wanted to warn anyone who may think of purchasing from Japangamestock.
The games I received, while in "acceptable" quality, are far from perfect, and nowhere was that noted when I purchase them. Each game shows at least some signs of ware, and would likely be considered B graded in the best case and probably C in the worst case.
I personally would not buy from them again as there is no way to know exactly what the quality be based on the info their site offers. If I have a chance tis weekend I'll post some pics of the games.
Received my PCE Duo-R today along with Dragon Spirit and Valis II. Can't wait to spend some more time with this beast.

Awesome.
Dragon Spirit is great game if you dig old-skool shoot-em-ups. The only shame is that at some points, the silly sound effects (surface attack) will override a channel of music, thereby ruining full appreciation of tunes (since you'll spend a lot of time attacking the surface). Some folks complain about speed of dragon (too slow), but that is the formula in countless classic shoot-em-ups (ie Gradius, R-Type, etc)...the speed-up power-up is actually VALUABLE.
Valis is a very basic, easy platformer that I still love. Great music, my first CD-ROM GAME. HA!

Thanks for letting me know. 150 Euro (200$) would be the absolute maximum I would pay for it. Since it's nearly impossible to play as a non Japanese speaker I would love to get one in the 100 - 130 Euro (140 - 180 $) ballpark :) but that will be tough to pull off nowadays. The tragic thing is - around 2000 I bought the game for 150 Deutsche Mark (that was our currency before the damn Euro) - that's 75 Euro :( - two years later I sold it (which was really dumb).
I got to have it alone for the fact that it was the last PCE game + the artstyle is really great :).

1999
And oh! The french version has been over for almost 3 years and is still waiting to be implemented. Sometimes, some people wonder why there are not more translations of PCE games. When you spend 5 years on and off translating a game, and the translation is not implemented, it doesn't help you try and translate any more games.

I didn't know about the French translation. Ha!
Ah, right you are, shubibiman, I was thinking of '97 cause of Motteke Tamago, that free pack-in game released in a PC Engine magazine. 1999 is even harder to believe that one last PC Engine CD title managed to roll out. I think PC-FX was already dying at that point.
@esteban, I believe David had some understanding with his team, that it'd get translated to French first or something. Looks like shubi knows something about it and might be able to elaborate.

I had never used a proxy service before this purchase, so I was somewhat hesitant to order through them, but I had read that other forum members here had used GOODY-JAPAN (http://www.goody-japan.com/) before successfully multiple times, so I figured that I'd give it a shot. I actually paid for the shipping on last Friday morning, and the well-packaged box arrived at my place today. That seems rather fast, but I was excited to sign for it! 8)

Definitely not as good as I had hoped, but overall, I believe that I beat the current online prices by a little. (I'm sure that I could have gotten them a bit cheaper if I could have gotten them from a member here, or in person, but all but one (Travel Eple) of the games is rather hard to come by and they just rarely ever show up here for sale. :(
Shipping included, I paid about the following:
~$230 for 1941
~$205 each for Madou Monogatari and Terra Cresta II
~$135 each for Chiki Chiki Boys and The TV Show
~$80 for Go! Go! Birdie Chance
~$65 for Seiya Monogatari (Anearth Fantasy Stories) Taikenban Mook (CD + Book)
~$10 for Travel Eple ($5 for the game and $5 for the shipping)
My wallet is rather flat now, but my game library is happy. :|

Congrats for the haul too! I dunno about the other games, but I think you could have done better with 1941 if you held out. On Amazon Japan multiple sellers are offering the game cheaper. (as low as ¥9,650, which is about 100 bucks)

That's usually the way it goes.
My understanding is that the only way to buy through Amazon Japan is through a proxy service, and since this was my first time to use a proxy service, I wanted to have as few wrinkles as possible. I actually only wanted to get Madou Monogatari and the Anearth Fantasy Stories Mook at first, because they were at the very top of my want list, but when I was browsing through Surugaya's stock, I saw the other 6 which I really had been wanting as well for quite a while, and I went ahead and pulled the trigger.
I'm still rather newbish at buying things internationally outside of eBay and somewhat afraid of being ripped off, so since altogether I think [-o< that I got a decent if average deal, I'll keep my chin up. :-"

Had a quick 3-day stop in Kansai, and had a peek inside some retro shops in Denden Town & Namba and grabbed a few I've been meaning to get over the years. I guess super potato moved near Namba station? I noticed that there were shutters down in their denden town location, but by complete fluke, I ran across a super potato shop by Namba station.
I got TWO copies of LoX I because... the super potato in Namba forgot to put the CD in the game! This is actually the case with Cosmic Fantasy 4-1 as well. I later looked at the receipt and noticed they didn't charge me for those games either... Unfortunately I didn't have time to go back to Namba and getting the discs before I had to leave - and I could only find a replacement copy for LoX1 at another shop before leaving.
Anyway, the inventory of PCE goods in retro shops definitely doesn't seem to be as extensive as it used to be back when I was living there (2004-2005) - too bad.

I really enjoy playing Burning Fest, have you tried VG Advanced yet? I've never played it.
It's nit like the best fighter ever but still a fun one, with better controls than Pretty Fighter X.
The one I havent played yet believe it or not is Asuka.

Asuka is quite a blast to play, the characters are varied and their moves are a riot to pull off. One is a chemist student and she sends her frog after you. Another one throws volleyballs at you, and yet another one has that twirlie acrobatic ribbon thing you see at the olympics.

Awesome game! Doesn't get enough attention. I think a lot of shooter fans look over it because of the lack of score but it's really awesome and worth figuring out and finishing. The ending is a really nice full vocal track. I uploaded it on YT but try and beat it to hear it for yourself first

I'm pretty sure it does exist: clicky (http://www.rpgfan.com/soundtracks/gotzendiener/index.html). I haven't seen one for sale, but I've not looked all that hard for it either; I'm probably gonna need to troll yahoo auctions.

I got to the end of the 2nd stage last night and really enjoyed what I played. Some very cool concepts going on in the game and nice intro to set the stage. Yeah score doesn't matter so much to me personally. O:)

I think a lot of shooter fans look over it because of the lack of score but it's really awesome and worth figuring out and finishing. The ending is a really nice full vocal track. I uploaded it on YT but try and beat it to hear it for yourself first

Actually, in the Dengeki PC Engine 3-Mook series, as far as I know it is Emerald Dragon, Bakuretsu Hunter (aka. Sorcerer Hunters), and Anearth Fantasy Stories aka Seiya Monogatari (
containing the exclusive shoot-'em-up "
Cychorider") pictured below.

I do know that there are a few more PC Engine games which came in/with a magazine - Motteke Tamago for one, but I do not have a definitive list yet. The below quote has some information that I've gleaned from the internet, but I haven't been able to confirm this personally.

No, the game didn't actually get released as a 2-disc set.
Yes, the game was released on all those platforms.
Please see this website for differences:
http://emedra.the2d.com/ (http://emedra.the2d.com/)
On the PC Engine platform, there were two releases:
Once, as the double-CD case with manual and art book (CDROM was the
white-and-green one), and once as a "MOOK" - a magazine/book with a CDROM
included, fromDengeki MOOK. In Emerald Dragon's case, it was a "capture
guide" book, and I believe the version of the game was a full version
(rather than just a playable demo).
There were 3 MOOKs in the Dengeki series:
1: Emerald Dragon
2: Bakuretsu Hunter
3: Seiya Monogatari (An Earth Fantasy Stories)
There were also other MOOKs released by other publishers, such as:
Tengai Makyo Kabuki Den (this may be a playable demo)
3x3 Eyes (I just got this, so I don't know what the game CDROM is - but the
book is artwork rather than a player's guide)
Record of Lodoss War 1
Record of Lodoss War 2
Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu
Develo Assembler (for programming)
Develo BASIC (for programming)
If anyone can confirm the above mooks, that would be great, and any information concerning other mooks would be greatly appreciated as well.
I do confirm :)
Quote from: shubibiman on 07/02/2014, 06:02 PMI do confirm :)
So this list is accurate? There are only 11 PC Engine games which came in/with a magazine as listed below?
3x3 Eyes
Bakuretsu Hunter
Develo Assembler
Develo BASIC
Emerald Dragon
Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu
Motteke Tamago
Record of Lodoss War 1
Record of Lodoss War 2
Seiya Monogatari (Anearth Fantasy Stories)
Tengai Makyo Kabuki Den
As far as I know, 3X3 Eyes doesn't come with a game. The 2 Develo Magazines do come with SCD's but these are not games. If you count the Develo CD's as games, then you should count all the CD-Rom Capsules.
Here is a quick view of most of the magazines that do come with a SCD (except for the Super PC Engine fan, thats comes with an audio CD) :

That's pretty cool, I didn't know there was some sort of a connection with these 3 games. The guy in your quote from the TurboList BTW is David Shadoff who has and knows everything when it comes to TG-16/PC Engine (he also helped me with the Ys IV project!). He visits here once in a while (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?action=profile&u=4604) - You can PM him to confirm whatever, he'll usually help with that sort of thing if time permits.

The only connection between those games is they're part of the Dengeki CD-Rom and Mook series. Apart from that, there's no link at all.

The on screen image were pretty obvious. Being able to press select and see what saves are on there is a nice feature.
I got my Express & Duo-R back from turbokon :dance:
The Express's new screen is awesome, much clearer. I hooked it up to the TV, plugged in a controller and showed the girlfriend who thought it was very cool.
The Duo-R's component mod looks great on my 27" Toshiba crt and I love the custom cord. Like the discretely placed region switch, the overall look of the console is unchanged while it now packs a punch!!!
I couldn't be more happy! Great work, communication, skillz, blah, blah, blah :P

Is he in or near Chicago ? Might wanna buy something from his store there and just see about driving over to pick it up. EDIT: Ah, his website didn't answer my question, but his Facebook page did, nevermind.
Picked up a copy of Dragon Slayer 2 at a local shop today. I've been wanting to play it for a while and the price was okay.
Not today .. but recently. Saw a SuperGrafx console posted in a local classified. Contacted seller to find out it was a guy that works for same company, at same office as myself. (see the associated Google+ images that it puts on my Gmail account was good for something finally). When I go meet the guy he has a whole box of PCE stuff, and is of the opinion that he just wanted it gone, had no use for it, and since I had expressed I was a retro gamer and would most certainly play it .. he gave me a great price. I even insisted on paying him alittle more, as I kept expressing the value of the items. But he was content just to see it go to a local collector, and more importantly gamer.
So picked up: loose SuperGrafx with single controller, AV and AC adapter. boxed PC Engine GT (box is rather rough), AC adapter for PCE GT, and then a handful of games including R Type I & II, Battle Ace, Download, Galaga '88, Gunhed, Image Fight, Kyukyoku Tiger, PC Genjin 2, Power League III, and Super Star Solder. Also a 6 button PCE controller, and a PCE turbo tap.
This was my first purchase of PCE items, having had been a TG-16 collector owner near launch, and collector over the years. Very much enjoying this, and now keeping my eyes peeled for a PC Engine Duo R or RX as I want to get Gate of Thunder and others.
So very very pleased with this purchase that started as an inquiry against a SGX. However the PCE GT will need to be re-capped (so heading off to Turbokon next week)
Nice haul, broom. If ya don't mind me askin', how much did it set ya back?
PM'd Necro. It was an insanely low price, despite me trying to advise seller of it's actual value. He was happy to see it go local, and to someone who was going to enjoy and play the hell out of it. I see the guy around the office, and still tell him that I owe him acouple pints.
Nice deal indeed. It's cool to see a fellow gamer help ya out and your honesty about their value, rather than the usual jackals that ask far more than something is remotely worth or lie and say stuff is worthless so they can get a deal.
I recently got Quest of Jongmaster on ACD
now to get decent at 'Jong

Ordered Gulliver boy and Fang or Alnam today.

Gulliver Boy is so awesome! I still have yet to play Fang of Alnam but it is on my to buy list. I've wanted it for decades, but I still have so many RPG's to play through. Fang of Alnam definitely a pretty game. I just hope the battle system is ok.
Why I'll be damned, I actually have an on-topic addition to this. I just bought 5 games from bbbbbiiiiigggg Al for $25 GBP which took $43 USD to buy... The US dollar has been pounded and pounded by the Great British Pound on down to about half its value, so it's not really desirable to do business with someone in the UK/GB these days I'm afraid... Anyhow, here's the order:
Tengai Makyo II - $2GBP
Cosmic Fantasy I - $3GBP
Cosmic Fantasy III - $3GBP
Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II - $4GBP
Ys III: Wanderers from Ys (SPINE) (JPN) - $4GBP
Plus $9GBP shipping, so $25GBP total = $43 USD... 43 / 5 = 8.6, so $8.6 bucks per game with shipping... Think this works out to an OK deal if you had to get them separately per eBay listing ?? I think I saved a few bucks relative to eBay if I had to get them all like that...
I really wanted a shooter in the deal somewhere, Gradius II is what I asked for, but somebody had already bought it... The thing about these RPGs is they're kinda meant as sitting investments should fan translations ever be finished for them... David Shadoff had started Cosmic Fantasy 1, but it was shelved for the time being last I heard. Ys III JPN I wanted because I wanted the Japanese artwork, so owning another piece of Ys history - I have the US version already. So yeah, none of these are something I will play any time in the future... :( It's like a "let's hold on to these in case something happens way way way down the road and I can play them in English..." deal. I dunno if even I accept all my justifications for this deal, a mix of wanting to own history and unlikely possibilities, but there you go. :/

Stole my joke!!!!!!! Why you!!!! Err, well, credit to wildfruit also, heh. But yeah, I doubt I'll do business with a Brit again unless the exchange rate improves or stuff is going dirt cheap making it kind of a deal. I did get pounded by that mighty pound...
Picked myself up a very clean, cib PC Engine Duo R from a local (Toronto) buyer. Very happy that I was able to avoid shipping costs, drive over and demo the unit before buying. This is a completely stock console, no mods, and hopefully will get lots of gaming before I'd need have it recapped. The guy was obviously a gamer/collector as everything he had was displayed nicely, and stored carefully. Ended up getting the cib console, and 6 games (a couple pretty damn good ones) for $250 CDN. Nice as Castlevania would have been one of the first ones I would have looked for anyway.
/2nhnqqq.jpg
/25663wk.jpg
So I don't feel so sad now (was definitely crying inside) in losing out on a recent attempt to buy a Duo-R that Nulltard snapped up :mrgreen: Everyone's happy now.
Game on !
$250 for a boxed Duo-R with those games is quite the deal. Nice!
From a prior post .. finally photos of my SuperGrafx, PC Engine GT and game lot. This was bought ~2.5 months ago. But just got around to cleaning, and test everything. So now it's a permanent part of my Gaming setup.
* Summarizing earlier post. Got this inquiring about a SGX on local classified. Turns out guy works at my office and when he found out I was a gamer, insisted on me taking the whole box at what I was willing to pay for the SGX alone. Despite trying to convince him it was worth more .. just just wanted to offload it. And was happy seeing it goto someone who would play the hell out it.
The PCE GT is having some video issues .. so will be boxing it up, and sending off to Turbokon for a recapping. But this was an unbelievable deal .. and just shit luck (which I deserve as I've never found anything at a yard/garage sale, flea market)
This is actually the bundle that had two copies of R-Type I .. so the the duplicate is actually being raffle off right here today in another thread. Going to pick a winner tonight.

I looked up gameplay for one of the Cobra games. Looked like it was all text based and all Japanese. Do you guys just follow along with a translation or something?

Hey my 3yr old daughter does the same thing with books! Lol
Got myself some "painful" games i will try to play all the way to the end:
Astralius
La Valeur
Don't judge me i began a game of Last Armageddon lately LOL. Kinda like to find positives aspects of really poorly rated games.

They fit snuggly so just a drop of glue is maybe needed. I used a drop of tub sealant.
There's no need to go Drakon on it.

You know I didn't think about that. Do you think many people from this group buy would be interested in getting a case as well?
Yeah, because it seems like leaving an exposed PCB around probably isn't the ideal as far as protecting your investment in it. What Stone Age Gamer did is beautiful, gold-plated screws and all, but I would never pay that bastard's markup - he doubled the price on his premium versions (for adding coating, case, and manual, etc.)!

I'd be down. I'm planning on getting one after I move away to school. Still deciding what color to get, Nulltard's orange one looks awesome. It would look cool in a TE but weird in a Duo R.
Also, stupid question, do you really have to glue it on?

Nulltard, that looks really nice. Kinda makes me wish I had let Shapeways dye my slim cover.
I was tempted to go with orange, or green, since it was only 50 cents extra, but since I had never ordered from Shapeways before, I thought I'd go with white, then I could dye it later if I decide to.
Quote from: guest on 08/08/2014, 07:54 PMFulci- thanks, yeah, it did come out nice. I was afraid it would be some pastel orange but it is fairly vibrant.
Tucci- you don't have to glue it, but you might want to depending on what version of ever drive you have. It fits the v1.2 well enough that it was hard to pry off with my fingernails, whereas it is easily removed on v.1 cards (but not so easily that it'll fall off the back of your turbo express).
Which version card did we order in the group buy..?
Not sure if Nulltard even ordered lol

Pretty sure we got v1.2. Nulltard said he got v1.1 about 2 years ago. And he now has both, there is little visible difference between the two.
I wasn't in the Group Buy but I'd be down for getting a cover if a bunch of people went in on it together.
I got this last night in the mail. From KC (thanks again :) ) Now I just need to wait for my shadow of the beast to come (got it very decent price. Played it back in the day on Amiga).

I've spent a good part of the day playing both and you are correct!
My order from big Al (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?msg=361879) in the UK arrived today, was left on the doorstep, made it OK thankfully!
Tengai Makyo II - $2GBP
Cosmic Fantasy I - $3GBP
Cosmic Fantasy III - $3GBP
Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II - $4GBP
Ys III: Wanderers from Ys (SPINE) (JPN) - $4GBP
Plus $9GBP shipping, so $25GBP total = $43 USD... 43 / 5 = 8.6, so $8.6 bucks per game with shipping...
It really cost him 15.5 GBP to send it, but I see why, the boxed used was big. Anyway, glad it made it to the US safely.

Oh I was just joking around. Just a little jealousy. I know how it goes though when it comes to...."overspending" sometimes :)

It won't work with it. It only works with Arcade CD titles I'm afraid and maybe a few SCDs (not sure), but definitely doesn't work with that HuCard.
The 6 button controller was originally developped in order to play SF2 ;)

Hey NW, seems to work just fine. Tested it now. Sorry for the potato quality photo. But in the Options menu it recognized 2 vs. 6 buttons and works flawlessly ingame.

Oh cool! Hm, who the hell told me it didn't work for that game...? I don't recall how I got the idea now. Well, I might finally have something to use mine with when my Turbo Everdrive arrives and I put my Duo back together! I wasted $40 on mine in the 90's and never wound up getting an Arcade Card. I even grabbed Strider for $15 used thinking I'd get the ACD eventually when it got cheaper, never did, and so never got any of the fighting games it was meant to work with.
Quote from: shubibiman on 08/14/2014, 02:07 AMThe 6 button controller was originally developped in order to play SF2 ;)
No one he wants to believe le french monsieur :mrgreen:
I thought you were trolling 'em, N.W. While you've got the everdrive going, give Strip Fighter 2 a look; it's the only other huey I know of that can use the 6 buttons, and it's good for a laugh or two.
Nah, and now I can't even remember for sure how I came under the impression that it didn't work with it. Maybe I just assumed it was made around the time by and for the Arcade CD titles or something. I was sore that I spent $40 and never got to use it once, and felt I should've stuck with the original. It does feel better to me though, somewhat.

More loose Hu Cards anyone know how to change the language settings on the Ninja Gaiden game?
Hm, I just fired up the Ninja Gaiden ROM in the MagicEngine emulator. Somehow I must've just missed it all these years. Looks like it's a straight port of the NES version with enhancements, so maybe something else to mess with when I get my TE. I beat all the NES versions (1-3), so maybe I just didn't think I should bother with it in my serious emulation playing days 10 years back or so.

Hi everyone,
Look what I bought the other day! You know, the highly coveted Castlevania Dracula X for PC Engine Super CD. I got it off Ebay for $118. I'm excited as can be. I don't have it yet, but looking forward to playing it night and day until the game is beaten. lol.
I heard about this game for like 20 years. Now, finally I get to play it.

The game seems to average at the $60 USD mark. And I hear it has an english built in mod for an import game.
This along with the two. Saturn games and snes game are on my radar.
As for the MD to rich for my blood.
Can't wait to receive my doujindance Duo-R along with Spriggan, Rondo of Blood and Nexzr (first release). I basically purchased the system for these games (plus GunHed, the Soldier series and Ys Book I & II, which I'll get later on when my finances are straightened out - I also purchased Eliminate Down and Gleylancer this summer - among other things - so I'm a bit tapped out :wink:).
P.S. Alright... two more "impulse" purchases a few minutes ago: Final Soldier and Gunhed (I love both games by the way, having already played them quite a bit on the Wii Virtual Console over the years). "Impulse" is between quotation marks because I swore to myself earlier today (no joke) that I wouldn't be purchasing any more games online until 2015... "FAIL", as they say. Still, 5 down and 6 more to go before I have reached my ideal Turbo/PC Engine collection. (Or so I like to believe.)

Random question: is it truly not recommended to use the official Japanese PC Engine Duo-R power supply in North America? Doujindance (eBay seller) says one must use another power supply (e.g. X'Eye, Genesis model 2, etc.) for it to be less risky or something. What do you guys use/recommended?
Thanks in advance.
I use the original power supply with my RX and it works fine. The difference in voltage isn't enough to worry about.
the only one ive seen an issue with is the SCDR2 supply
running around 17V will cause a ton of heat in the box

Yeah, I'm aware "Lords" is US and its photo would belong in the other sub forum, but I hope we can let it slide.
Anyway, I posting this because not only did I FINALLY get "Dracula X" for a decent price, but it triggered a nice family moment: So I'm sitting downstairs in my cinema / game room and try out all these new games. Meanwhile my wife and son (three years old) come home, he of course runs into my room and he sees "Dracula X" running on the Sony CRT.
Since I played a few minutes of NES with him recently, of course he wants to play this too, and I let him. Sure, he can't do much yet, a bit of walking, couple of jumps, but he loves it nonetheless.

With the PayPal money I received from selling my copy of Earthbound, I added Gate of Thunder (and PS2 Treasure Box collection).
Soon, I'll have in my possession: the aforementioned GoT, Spriggan, GunHed, Nexzr, Dracula X and Final Soldier.
Next on the list: Soldier Blade, Super Star Soldier, Sylphia, Devil Crash and (maybe) Image Fight II.

I am still confused about how the IFU-30 suitcase attaches to the ROM ROM AMP. When you get a chance, please take a few pick of the mounting apparatus.
Thank you!
Hey, sorry for my late post. Was quite busy the last couple of weeks.
The IFU doesn´t really "attach" to it. You get 2 pieces of plastic that slide into holes on the ROM2 AMP. They are moulded in a way that you just lay the suitcase on top of it, e.g. there is no "click" or pin pushed in or lock switching.
It is just that simple and at the same time doesn´t look cheap. You can take off the suitcase anytime you want without hitting a button. Plus the ROM2 AMP has an additional power outlet, thru which one could power the whole IFU as well. A maximum of 100W is possible.
Since I live in Europe I bought a switching adapter that outputs 100V from a 230V line, quite cheap (I think I didn´t pay more than 15 Euros for it) also. Stay away from the obvious china fakes - best place is Amazon where I live.

Quote from: nosorrow on 09/15/2014, 06:36 AMRandom question: is it truly not recommended to use the official Japanese PC Engine Duo-R power supply in North America? Doujindance (eBay seller) says one must use another power supply (e.g. X'Eye, Genesis model 2, etc.) for it to be less risky or something. What do you guys use/recommended?
Thanks in advance.
I recommend upgrading to a regulated model, there is worthwhile benefit in doing so.
You want a 9 VDC adapter that's rated at 1.5 Amps or more. Here's the one I purchased on Steve's (our resident Electrical Engineer and PCEFX turbo repairman!) recommendation and at a great price of $2.50:
www.ebay.com/itm/Adapter-AC-100-240V-to-9V-1500mA-Power-Supply-Charger-Converter (http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Plug-Adapter-AC-100-240V-to-9V-1500mA-Power-Supply-Charger-Converter-Adaptor/111690007842)
Then you'll want the Duo tip as well:
http://console5.com/store/parts/dc-power-jacks/turbo-duo-power-connector.html (http://console5.com/store/parts/dc-power-jacks/turbo-duo-power-connector.html)
Alternatively, if you don't care about preserving the original power supply, you can desolder the wire off of it and solder it on the new 9 VDC model once it arrives. Up to you. If you buy the tip and use a new wire, you'll have the option to make it nice and long, like 7 feet or so, as out of the box, only 3 feet is provided.
Another option: Don't have soldering skills or the time for a little DIY project ? You can buy ready-made power supplies then. Here's one at $13 (notice the price difference, but much worse at say RetroGameCave - don't buy from him, rip-off at $23!):
http://gamedoctorhk.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=817&zenid=9u50rdo757m65iolfl0epo1jg3 (http://gamedoctorhk.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=817&zenid=9u50rdo757m65iolfl0epo1jg3)
Here's why you should switch: I learned from Steve that the CD motor area receives unregulated voltage which will be much higher on your Japanese power supply because it's a cheap, linear, unregulated model. The 2 regulators inside a Duo console for 5 VDC and 8 VDC are for the motherboard and sound processing, but yeah, the CD motor area doesn't receive its power from one of those regulators surprisingly!
My Turbo Duo power supply for 120 VAC input outputs 13 VDC, despite the 10 VDC range that it's labeled with. Now, since yours is targeted for the VAC used in Japan at 100 Volts, you're possibly getting like ~16-19 or more VDC out, would simply be a little higher. Now that's fine, the internal regulators are designed to handle up to 35 VDC, they'll just run more hotter the higher the voltage, but this will add stress to that motor area since as Steve says, that part is unregulated.
Aside from that, it's better you give the internal regulators the least amount of voltage needed so they operate with less heat and last much longer. It's better for the regulator on your power supply to burn out than the one inside your unit which would force you to open it up and replace it. A burned out power supply is much more easily replaced obviously.
In short, a modern, regulated power supply is much better than the cheap, "retro" OEM power supplies from the 198Xs (
"Retro" [power supplies] are NOT better in this case despite what say the Runyons of the Internet might think!). When used with the console, its internal regulators will produce less heat, and in principle, last longer and the CD motor area won't be subjected to varying voltages depending on what your incoming house voltage is (mine is 126 VAC). With all the extra smoothing capacitors, the new ones likely handle surges somewhat better as well.
FYI: I recently succeeded in upgrading my TurboExpress' power supply to the 6 VDC model that Steve also recommended. Also cheap at $2.59 and a million times better than the OEM brick model, which literally is big and heavy enough to kill somebody with! Here it is:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171414825591?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT (http://www.ebay.com/itm/171414825591?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)
I was surprised, everything works fine thus far. He basically learned what the bare minimum voltage that the device will operate with. And logically, less is better, less heat, less wear, just what's needed with enough Amps.
Picked up a copy of Genpei 2 and Valis IV today. I don't have my CD situation squared away yet, but I have started to grab CDs I want when I find them cheap to get ready.
I couldn't find the "What PCE games are you playing thread." Is it buried somewhere on page 85?
This came in the post, Unfortunately I can't find anyone here in the UK to do a decent job of modding my console so this will have to do. There are cheaper alternatives but I am not sure of how the picture and sound will be..

Haven't had a chance to actually try it out yet...got some work to catch up on first.
From the screenshots on the back, definitely looks like a regular baseball game (similar to the Power League series -- no fat, pudgy Famista style players) with perhaps some enhancements thrown in for the CD format. Strangely enough, I see no youtube vids of this particular title online.
Either way, I really love baseball games on the PCE, so I'm sure I'll love it.
Been playing a partial season of Intec's baseball game on the PCE CD ROM while waiting for this one to arrive.
Regarding that blue bag in Super Play's post, I was also wondering if it had a specific purpose. Perhaps it's for the PC Engine GT handheld? Or maybe it's one of those Japanese style pen cases (see www.jetpens.com (http://www.jetpens.com) for similar items)?

I'd say that bag looks too small for a GT. That would be really cool if it did fit though.
Also what baseball game on the CD rom are you reffering to? I've tried a few baseball games on the everdrive. Liked Naxat Stadium and the Power Leagues, but didn't know it went beyond that. For a season, are you able to save or have a password?

I've seen it called "Pro baseball Stars" but I honestly have no idea what the name translates to.

Yes, I got this stuff and I can attest that it works very well.
Personally, I use it for my PC Engine (the original, the white one) on a Bang & Olufsen TV (MX 4200 for specialists) and the result is simply perfect .. !!
This shop, I have also consolised an MVS slot (MV-1C), modded a SNES (swichless region free) and the work was always very clean.
Bud the bad thing is prices.
It must be recognized that the prices are a bit high, especially compared to the work of some skilled guys who are selling their services on forums ..

Hello,
Kind of confusing, I have to get used to swap the options during combat. For what I see, I only hold button I while I mark the red option "attack", I push down till I swap to the green option to charge Ki, the other one is guard and no clue about the 4rth option. For the rest, it's like Dragon Ball Legends, attack the other till you fill the blue bar then cast an attack (here you choose something but I didn't find out what does what).
Just think of this game as an old version of Dragon Ball Legends haha
My most recent PC engine gets were gotzendeiner and hellfire S, however, I cannot play these games right now because my PC engine is getting rgb modded. Want to play it so bad, and see the rgb goodness out of meh DUO R :P

That's what is great about CD case games. Easy to replace, and im sure you may have gotten a better deal because most people would be like eeew, but the moment you replace it you are then going to be the person laughing because you got a better deal out of the rest of people =P

Good games! I have played through and beaten both of them. I hope that you'll be able to play them both soon.
When I got home from work there were some packages on my dining table. I can't wait to have some spare time to get some long overdue import obeying on. Super stoked.

Yes. A nice group of games for sure. Final Soldier would probably be my top pick, but most of the others are very good.
just got these in the post
Tricky is a sun faded but it's still in it's shrink wrap but it was pretty cheap. Both from japan

my duo even got a make over and looks whiter than ever before :) Definitely worth the wait, and literally played them both til I beat them

forgot to add Daichi Kun crisis a while ago but just got NHK Taiga Drama Taiheiki. Pretty good strategy turn based war game set in feudal Japan. I might try and do a guide for this as I really do like the graphics. It's mostly in Kanji. Both are very good strategy games in their own right.

The game is divided in two segments and you will eventually guide 14 warlords who each have a part in ruling parts of Japan. But you start at Chihaya fortress and controling Kusunoki Masashige from the time period 1294 1336. Its battles and strategy from the get go in Hex style! Both games do require back up ram as there is much progress to be made in these games.

Finally got my System Card 3.0. Amazingly came from Spain without a single stamp or mark on the envelope!
My white Duo-R finally came today after taking a while to swim across Pacifc ocean. It arrived fine and looks very good, like it hasn't been used much. I do need to check for minor video problem, the seller reported infrequent video glitches, which suggest probably bad solder joint on AV connector, one of the component or on HuC6260 chip. I did a quick check, there is no sign of cap issue so it should be OK for now.
Still waiting for that AV cable. I swear USPS is getting slower every day!

Just got back from a long 100+ miles drive to trade stuff. It was cheaper to drive than to pack and ship a big Commodore 128D (some mod and JiffyDOS) and an RGB monitor.
What I got back from the trade was CIB TurboExpress, CIB AC adapter, and CIB car adapter. Those boxes are very nice shape, almost like it was just made this year and not 20 years ago. :mrgreen: TE does have sound issue and will need recapping for sure.
I'd post picture but 4 hours driving home while dealing with rush hour traffic that moved at snail pace (why its called rush when it's slow is beyond me) and I am tired. :-&

Man, that box nostalgias me so hard. I spent every waking moment of my childhood and teenage years wanting that thing. Now I have one, but no box... and probably never will have a box for it.
I ordered Gate of Thunder and Shubibinman 3 with my ebay coupon. I probably payed too much for gate & I wanted to get more games, but I chose quality over quantity.

Nice haul, particularly the Cosmic Fantasies and Beyond Shadowgate. And the Magicoal too, I guess; I've bought many but have yet to play through it. :oops:
I got a Shuttle Backup Unit (yesterday!), I haven't tested it but I opened it to have a look inside. The battery is a NiCd rechargable, is it likely to still work or will it be dead by now? The legs going to the battery look to have slight corrosion, should I remove it before it starts to leak electrolyte? Is there a good easy to find replacement/alternative?
Thanks chums.

Snagged it at the Video Game Summit today. They said it was dead, but I got them down to a good price and took a gamble on it. Turned out it just had a bad video connector on the A/V cable!
It's in great condition, and as far as I can tell, it's working 100%. The sound still works fine, but I'll still re-cap it sometime soon.

Money's been tight, but I've somehow still managed to waste a little here lately.
Neutopia was kind of superfluous, as I can play it already on my ED, but it's one of the few US Turbo games I still wanted a physical copy of & I got what I believe to be an okay price for it, given how expensive it's been on the 'bay these days.
Browning...well, I've been on a Telenet kick lately & it was dirt cheap. It's not as bad as people make it out to be, but it is short & the controls leave a bit to be desired. I am a sucker for them graphics, though...
Also, anyone notice the name of the player character in this game is similar to the one in Fiend Hunter (Breed Schuyler -> Feed Sluster) even though he refers to himself as "Arnold" at one point in the game...
I picked up a CoreGrafx II with one controller, 4 games: adventure island, motor runner , be ball and I forgot, AV cables(better than RF) with free shipping for 120$! That's why I joined here cuz on other forums people never heard of coregrafx, epic engine! But I want to know wha games are a must buy?
And any RPGs that have an English option(can't read Japanese only dead for some reason) ?
Not in my hand yet but I just ordered new fuse for my Turboexpress. I missed something and blew the fuse when I tested the LCD mod.
Gratuitous repost from teh haul thread :P
The slowboat of stuff I bought back in May FINALLY came in so it was fun to dig through it all. I got three PCE lots out of Japan with some solid titles in them.

Nice and yellow! The Core Grafx has a region switch mod which is useful. Wasn't a deal or anything but it was local. Also picked up a few games with it:

The Ys is for Turbo, game and (I think) the map are legit but the manual and case backing are repro. Figured I needed at least one CD game that I could understand.
Today I received some nice 3D glasses that I have been on the hunt to add to the collection for many years...

Fixed. Don't know why it wasn't able to be seen. It was through Google Photos, so I don't know why it wasn't loading at first. Switched to a different image upload site.
I've been trying to grab a copy of this as well... Missed one on ebay recently. A guy somewhat local to me told me he has two copies so I said figure out what you'd like for one (trade or cash) and I'll try to make it happen, but he's hesitant to give one up because of its "rarity". Smh.
Would it be worthwhile to post a wanted ad here?
Got a replacement power adapter for my Core Grafx yesterday and can finally use it! Now to try and get some more PCE games on the cheap... :]

They're all pretty good but so far my favorite is Valkyrie no Densetsu.
I was looking for this thread earlier, since this disc/magazine was not purchased.
So my homie David Shadoff was kind enough to donate (in the name of CD science!) an extra copy of a magazine, the "Super PC Engine Fan Deluxe - Vol.1." Photos below. :)
Inside, there is a pack-in PC-FX CD on a cardboard page of what I wanted, and on the back side, there's another CD, the "Develo Magazine Vol. 1" that contains demos for Popful Mail, Fray CD Xak Gaiden and Assembly/Basic-developed games, along with development tools, etc.
I just wanted the Special PC-FX CD bonus because its CD structure is unique in that it uses 5 or so indexes on data track #5 and I want to study/work with it to implement/perfect TurboRip's lacking track analysis phase, but he decided to throw in the whole magazine which, hey, is a cool PCE time warp to boot!
Before this, I asked SamIAm to see if he could find the CD in Japan which was silly to do first because David had originally discovered the uniqueness of this CD's indexing and gave me a CloneCD image long time ago, plus sometimes he winds up with duplicates, so I asked him next and turned out he did indeed have an extra he was willing to part with, so that's how I wound up with it!!!

Everyone with Motteke Tamago has reported disc rot.
Send the disc to me and I will remove the disc rot (I live near a swamp, so I simply take some leeches, attach them to disc, and after a few hours the disc rot is gone).
I will only charge $10 +'shipping for Rot Removal.

So I roll into my regular game shop here in Fukuoka, Japan, and I see a Super CD Rom/Core Grafx II combo sans boxes on sale for a low price...low because the Super CD Rom is broken. The price is 8,000 yen, and the note on the SCD says that it won't spin up any discs. I've actually been eying this thing for a couple of weeks wondering if I should buy it and try to repair it myself. Well, tonight, after an exceptionally hard few days at work, I decided to treat myself and go for it.
I asked the fellow at the counter to take it out of the display case and show it to me a little more first. He agreed. Bear in mind, this is also the same guy who tested it and determined it wouldn't spin up any discs in the first place. However, when he tried to open the disc drive lid, he was surprised to find that it wouldn't budge. He poked and prodded, and it didn't move a bit. At last, with a sigh, he said that at this point, he wasn't even sure they would be able to sell the system at all. I suggested I would buy it at a discounted price, and he offered it for 5,000 yen instead of 8,000.
I took the deal. Upon arriving home, I dusted off my trusty torx security driver and busted that SCD open. Sure enough, the switch that opens the lid was just worn down. A little plastic-safe grease on there and it was working again. So, how about the system itself?
Ahem...Ladies and gentlemen, there was nothing wrong with it. It spins CDs just fine. I don't know what this guy was doing that made him judge otherwise, but I just got a working Super CD Rom system for 5,000 yen with a free Core Grafx II (plus extra controller). Now look what I can do:

I use a boron-nitride compound from Tamiya. It's made to use on both plastic and metal gearing in remote control cars...so it's surely good enough for the moving parts in a game console like the SCD.
It also doesn't hurt to give the gears that move the laser a little bit of grease, as well as the rail that the laser slides on. I've done that with my Duos, and I'm going to do that tomorrow with this!
dat hammerhead!

Could you please elaborate a bit about the Popful Mail demo? It's on a PC-FX cd? I'm intrigued, but mainly only because Mail is involved (many know my weaknesses).

Ah, the same David fan translated that free game which was only released in that magazine.
I have all downloads for it here if you didn't know (since it was a freebie, there's no problem sharing all of it):

Funny enough, in an older edit, I specified it's a Super PC Engine CDROM^2, but I tried to trim my content later and space it out better. :) Evidently it was meant for continued tinkering/development, late as it was released at the end of the PC Engine's lifespan, but yeah, it's a PCECD.

Ahh okay, I see now. It was an included demo on the Develo Disc, that came with the Super PC-Engine Fan Deluxe Vol. 1 magazine. Looks like there was a matching sleeve. I've got the sample Popful Mail PCE from kisaku but I'm guessing the demo is different, hmmm.
Now I need to start priming up my searches again for something new that's Popful Mail related. ;)
I guess I scored got a SFC Hori Commander for $26 shipped. Not too shabby. I built an adapter that will let me use it on PC Engine so I can finally compare this to an Ave 6.

More expensive than most PCE shmups. But not triple digits. Cotton 2 as well, which is a shame, but this is the fate of all Sega Saturn shmups.

I think I will have to look up a faq to make it to someplace exciting, like a dungeon. At the very least, everything is fairly easy and clear to understand (though some of the menu options confuse me).

Waiting on a few things but I got a copy of Street Fighter II today. Even with the regular controller I think I prefer this to the Genesis version, which I'd play with a 6 button controller. Kind of kills me how they messed up a couple of the character names though...

How so? You mean M. Bison being Vega, Vega being Balrog and Balrog being M. Bison? If so, that's the standard Japanese names for the characters...if not, I've never noticed anything wrong (admittedly I haven't played it too much)?

Balrog was M. Bison at first as a play on Mike Tyson, but threat of lawsuit led them to change it for the international release. And anyway, Vega doesn't look much like a Balrog, nor does M. Bison seem to fit the name Vega, which has a Spanish tinge to it. We got the better names, imo.

Alright, just made an offer for one to a Japanese seller myself! I have the first one, time to secure a copy of the sequel with an English patch in mind some day and to satisfy my general inclination to collect things of Falcom. :)

Must be a bootleg, here's what the real cover art looks like:

Oh wow. They really did a number on a lot of the cover art didn't they? dude doesn't even look like a proper monk anymore.
I know, it's amazing right? I wish I could find out more about the TG-16 cover artists. I haven't even done a proper search here, I should probably start with that I guess - maybe it's already been discussed a ton. But I honestly would be interested (and not to shame them or anything) just as a piece of history. Maybe find out some of the different reasons why they changed some of them besides licensing or "too Japanese" for the west. I'm sure there's some interesting censorship stories. If someone put out a book containing all of the North American release cover art in high definition, I would totally buy it. Guess maybe sometime after Art of Sierra comes out or someone decides to do a book with Atari 2600 Cartridge Art...

We are in the minority, but, yes, I would love to know more about the artists (and the process for creating the art, relationship with/direction from NEC) and I would LOVE to have original prints (or reproductions).
Bomberman '93 just showed up in the mail. Probably my last purchase for while but I'm looking forward to hopefully getting a multiplayer game going with my friend over the weekend.

Definitely. I'm not hailing them as masterpieces, of course - but it's something I spent a great deal of my time looking at in my childhood and that I have a fondness for one way or the other. I have a Sega artbook which is filled with artwork from the 80s and 90s that is both amazing and laughable (usually not at the same time) and it's all just a joy to look at. The Phantasy Star 2 art is incredible while the belabored Golden Axe III art tries on it's hardest Boris Vallejo impersonation, but it always gives me a smile.

I couldn't buy Legend of Xanadu II for $15 bucks by itself from HitJapan as someone competed with me in the auction, but then right after I saw another listing for both games with a Make Offer option, I tried for $16 total which was accepted. :) I'm guessing condition will be a factor, but whatever, I'll see.
Also, I might just raffle the extra copy of Legend of Xanadu I that I bought from BlueBMW some day since this buy leaves me with 2 copies... Will just pick the best case, manual, CD, etc. and get rid of what's left. :/

Gulliver Boy. I lost an auction as a sniper came in at the last second. It got bid up to $15.50 as a result. But HitJapan also had 2 other copies with Make Offer, so using that final winning bid, I offered $15.50, but it was rejected... I looked some more, found their other Make Offer listing, I try $15, and they accepted it (maybe it's not as good in condition)! Hah, weird. So yeah, scored it at $15 flat with S/H. They wanted $19 total.

That is very cool lookan~!
Sweet on getting LoX and Gulliver Boy, NightWolve!
I'm stoked because of something that's kind of stupid and awesome at the same time.
The stupid part is that I just realized today that I still had over $100 sitting in my PayPal account, because I'm a dummy and forgot to transfer the money to my bank account during the hustle and bustle of my big move a few months ago.
The good part is that I used a portion of that to finally get myself a copy of Popful Mail! I'm in the minority camp that prefers the PCE version to the Mega CD, so I'm completely stoked for it to get here. I was never able to finish it through slightly dubious means due to a bad rip, so now I'll finally get a chance to get to the end and not have the cutscenes be all screwed up! I'll take some pics when it gets here.
I also finally got myself a US version of Ys Books I&II, which means I now own that, the Japanese version, the JP PSN store version, and the US Wii Virtual Console version. Hooray for poor financial decisions!
:)

The two Ranma games are among the dingiest cases I have, manuals and discs seem to be in good shape though. Worth trying to clean the jewel cases?
If it's really just dirt, a little alcohol will usually clean 'em right up. If it's yellowed from UV as I suspect, however, they'll be clean but still look dingy unless you whiten 'em up with some peroxide.
I think it might be from smoking, possibly. I am worried about destroying stuff with chemicals, I tried to get a sticker off of one of them today with some goo gone and it just made it a hundred times worse. I chucked the plastic cover of the jewel case and swapped with it another, and I'm gonna buy some replacement jewel cases in the next day or so to at least swap the tops.
Goo gone eats plastic away iirc? It won't hurt to try some "retrobright" on it unless you can find white jewel cases easily.
Goo gone absolutely does NOT eat plastic. Goof Off, however, shouldnt get anywhere near plastic. It even says so on the bottle. Goo gone=good Goof Off=very bad
It mighta been Goof off, I have to check it again. I thought it was just lighter fluid basically.. anyway, no big deal, I had removed the plastic case cover separately, it wasn't in that great of condition to begin with. The manual, cd, insert, etc. were nowhere nearby and are safe. Just gonna replace it with a generic jewel case cover.
Goo Gone is like my secret weapon. Slap that shit on everything. I just scrubbed my whole copy of Rule of Rose (PS2) with it, was a previous rental. Does a good job of getting label residue off paper without taking the ink with it. Looks a lot better now.

It was indeed goof off, I will be more careful next time - the name is so similar sounding to goo gone... Can someone give me some foolproof instructions on how to clean the white trays? Just dish soap and water first maybe? If I need peroxide or IPA or whatever, exactly what kind do I buy? I will end up replacing the standard jewel case parts entirely.

Yoshimoto is a lot of fun, I picked it up from NCSX back in the day. I love a good wacky platformer with a lot of variety. Not familiar with the comedians its based off of though.
For the white plastic trays use a bit of windex on a piece of magic eraser. They will look like new.
Just picked up Bazaru de Gozaru. Been trying to track it down for the longest time.
Put the tray in a zip lock back. Fill the bag with hydrogen peroxide. Put it in the sun for a day or two (must be direct sunlight ). Should be back to new

It's a pretty awesome puzzle game. You essentially plan a course of action by programming steps in, and then see if your crazy plan actually works.
I got all of these this week and I couldn't be happier! I've been giddy waiting to finally play through Popful Mail!
I already have the Japanese versions of the Ys games, but I've wanted the English copies for a long time now. Thanks to Justin's nice sale over in the Turbo Sales thread, I finally was able to get Ys III, and I've already played through it once since getting it. I'm a little ways into Ys II at the moment as well.
Yay!

Heh. It's probably the most expensive game I'll ever get for my Duo-R. I was just lucky in that I had forgotten about money that was sitting in my PayPal account, which helped me pay for it. If I had waited a week longer, I probably would have never gotten it, as I got appendicitis not long after I ordered it, and now I have medical bills to worry about before I can go back to buying stuff.
I just wish I had a good PC and a capture card, as this is a game that is sorely lacking in YouTube footage. I see tons of Let's Plays for the Sega CD version, but hardly anything for the PCE version.
EDIT:
Welp... I beat 'em all already! (^_^;)

I gave the PC Engine version a run through earlier this year and thought it was pretty fun. I enjoyed the Sega CD version the few times I played it but I haven't touched it in a long time. I don't know which version I enjoyed playing more but the PC Engine version's vibrant colors look great on such a cheerful platformer. Sega CD version just looks too drab.

Something I once learned from Game Sack: See that Thomas H. Church credit for Goban Toba ? Yep, that's one in the same as Thomas Haden Church, the Hollywood actor last known for playing Sandman in Spider-Man 3! The Ys Book I & II dub was well-funded and still is one of the best that I know of in a videogame.

Honestly the Ys 1&2 voice acting is close to perfect, specially in contrast with Telenet games lol. One can wonder how would be the localization of Ys 3 (maybe 4?) if NEC was the top dog in the console wars.

What really impresses me is the year of its release. Virtually no one else was doing anything remotely like this on consoles. The quality is superb.
Finally got Spriggan! My first impression is that the audio is blowing me away the most, although I really dig the aesthetics and of course am having loads of fun with it! Somewhat faster feel than other shmups, very cool.

Yup. Jim Cummings is a big one for me. He's done so many voices for Disney it's not even funny. He was Darkwing Duck, and is currently the voice of Pete, Winnie the Pooh, and lord knows how many others. I can't hear Dalles without it sounding like Pete to me.

Yeah, that's pretty cool, and you know, I think it deserves its own topic which I might make good on if my excursion works out. I've been trying to extract the original ADPCM clips out of the Ys Book I & II data track so we can have the purest/cleanest clips available. It would be great to have a page organized around every actor, their real photo next to their in-game photo esteban-style.
It seems though there has already been a site dedicated to cataloging this type of historical information which does just that! Here's the entry Ys Book I & II:
behindthevoiceactors.com/../Ys-Book-I-and-II/ (https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Ys-Book-I-and-II/)
If you listen to the example clips however, some of them were recorded while playing the game on a TV, they're pretty terrible. Many raw ADPCM clips often don't include the background music as that's generated at runtime with PSG code, so if all of them can be extracted, we'll have the cleanest possible sound provided the best ADPCM-to-WAVE conversion software can be used (the best that I know of is Sound Exchange).
Anyway, I already made good progress and tracked down the offset where much of the ADPCM voice-acting begins - I have Thomas H. Church's work already extracted and playing nicely! I just have to divide the data up properly for the extraction batch files so that they can be shared in a dub kit (as I did for Ys IV), identify it all, see how much is there, etc.
^ I love this—can't wait to hear what you get. Sadly, the ADPCM audio clips are of a significantly lower quality... :(
Yeah, unless some old NEC employee finds all the project materials like the original source recordings, the raw ADPCM binary stream from the Ys Book I & II data track is the best that we'll ever get...
That's if guessing that they were recorded in wave first; they could've went directly to ADPCM and so there might not actually exist a recording that's better in quality. But nah, that's a silly bet since some of the voice-acting is on the redbook audio tracks, so they were recording to wave (AKA 16-bit stereo 44100 Hz PCM) first in those cases, thus original wave files likely do exist of everything on some old NEC USA computer right now, but who knows where it's all at... :)
Would be cool if companies thought to donate old hard drives and what not with stuff like that to videogame historical/preservation groups but obviously things like that would rate very low, if ever, on a priority list. Would be a shame if it all just sort of got thrown out with the trash. In 1990, what kind of PC would they have been using for a localization project, like say a Tandy 1000 ?? How long would you keep equipment like that around as a company ?? It's probably safe to say most stuff got nuked after they got out of the videogame business on the US side of things...
So, PCE gets. I very rarely buy any new Obey these days because of the LOL pricing as of late, but I did just get in a new Avenue 6 pad today! I was skeptical that it was actually new due to the relatively low price and was prepared to argue for a partial refund if it was actually used.

I spoke recently about how I used to have a TurboDuo but foolishly sold it, and that got the nostalgia juices flowing again. Just so happens a bud did an awesome trade with me for a PCE Duo he's had laying around for years.

Quote from: GohanX on 11/02/2015, 07:30 PMI spoke recently about how I used to have a TurboDuo but foolishly sold it, and that got the nostalgia juices flowing again. Just so happens a bud did an awesome trade with me for a PCE Duo he's had laying around for years.

Finally I can post something on this thread! haha
Slowly building my PCE collection :oops:

Cool receipt showing the history of some of the games.
That's quite the haul... COLLECTARD!!!
Nice. It must have been a great deal (otherwise why would you buy two base turbografx units?).

I feel sorry for the four games underneath Tenchi O Kurau (Kabuki Den on the bottom?). Sorry, guys, but you're not cool enough to be in the family photo. :|

Efera & Jiliora, Gotzendiener, and Gradius II...I am envious -.-
I'd like to get Gradius II one day also, never prioritized because I've had the Saturn double pack since the 90's with I/II in it. I love the PCE intro though showing all the ships weapons, I always thought that was awesome.
Mmm, those are some goodies. Dat Arle and Princess Kickass!!!

You could tell it was Gradius from the original photo because it has the "Konami" logo at the bottom right. From there, it's just a process of elimination to remember out how many Konami CD games have been released, and what the covers look like.

Ugh. I have a new PCE Duo Black with purple accents sitting in customs all week! Can't wait to play with it instead of my muddy Duo RX 6 button. The d-pad is strange...
I must obey now too. I've never owned a Duo before, or PCE I guess. I used to have a TG16 years ago.

No.

The Turbo Everdrive is awesome, I wish it existed back when I had a TG16. The original PCE is a lot better though, super tiny and has a smaller controller plug.

Controller came in today! It's actually in better shape than advertised. It seriously looks almost brand new. Everything is tight, and it plays like a dream. Using the original PCE Duo controller vs the 6-Button RX controller makes me feel like I'm definitely not playing the games on emulator now. For some reason the controller just makes everything perfect. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.
These talks and pics of analogue controllers and 6 buttons is making me quite jealous...
I just received these but I don't think I got the time to test it out till after I'm done with Xenoblade C.X . Dat Sim Earth will still stay wrapped up for a little longer..

Got Rainbow Islands and Fray Xak Gaiden in the mail today. Lost at least 2 and a half hours to Rainbow Islands, the game is so frustrating for me but I can't stop playing it. Fray is OK, I think with this one I liked the look and idea of it more than anything though. Even if the game was in English everything would still seem way too drawn out; I've only gotten to the second boss and I almost feel like I've spent more time sitting through dialog and scrolling through text than I have actually playing anything.
The dialog in Fray can be a little drawn out, and I wish I could skip it. It's not Right Stuff-level of complete and total incessant droning; we can all be thankful for that. I found the action stages to be enjoyable, though overall the game is (pleasantly) easy. You're more in it for the fun and colorful ride; luckily the game gets better as it goes on (it really picks up, in my opinion, by the time you start crossing the ocean floor).
Rainbow Islands is indeed fun, though I get murdered by the third world or so.
Yep, the fun graphics and similar gameplay to Valkyrie no Densetsu were what made Fray hard to resist for me, I'll stick with it and look forward to more action later in the game.

There is a certain section in Fray that I found so frustrating that I just put the disc away in a drawer away from sunlight... Maybe I am just crap at it but there is a level where a sage splits the lake apart and you get bumped into the bottom of the sea.. A section where you have to jump on falling logs.. That is really pissing me off..
Definitely, digi. That spot is annoying as hell, watching poor little Fray fall to her doom over an over again.

Eh, you're doing better than me; I haven't even beaten the second boss yet! Like most I get frustrated when I have to do parts of a game over and over again but this one makes it worse because even though you continue on the boss you still have to go through some of the dialog and/or text before you can fight again.
Well, I didn't get all of this in one day but this is basically my xmas present to myself over the past month or two.
SuperGrafx unit that was sold as junk. Fully restored and working. I even found an original SuperGrafx power supply for it.
The Super CD-Rom 2 unit was locked away in a box for some collectard. So I decided to liberate it. I recapped it and RGB modded it. Works great with the SuperGrafx.
LAst but not least I bought myself a Memory Base 128 after reading the Hero thread from Nulltard. This was brand new in the box and well, I opened it and now use it full time for backing up saves.

Cosmic Fantasy, Cosmic Fantasy 3, Cosmic Fantasy 4ch1, Cosmic Fantasy 4ch2
Y's 4: The Dawn of Y's, Popful Mail, The Legend of Xanadu, The Legend of Xanadu 2
Emerald Dragon, Wizardry 1&2, Wizardry 2&3, Wizardry 5
I really enjoyed Cosmic Fantasy 2 US version so I wanted the rest of the series. Y's 4 and the Xanadu games have translations or are being translated so I wanted those to make patching an original much simpler instead of trying from a .bin .cue from online.
Emerald Dragon and Popful Mail are memory base 128 compatible and I read good things about both so.... Wizardry 1-5 was something I found interest in after the game of the week. I found a full set from one buyer and jumped on it.

All of the repro's from Bernie and crew.
All of the SuperGrafx games original and enhanced by the SuperGrafx. <-- This was the collectard showing in me. But, Darius Plus, Battle Ace and Madō King Granzort were brand new and sealed. Once again I liberated them and they are now ready to be played once I get to them.
Last but not least the Arcade Duo card. I plan on grabbing two 6 button controllers at some point with more Arcade card games down the road.

Looks like a nice Christmas to me, MNKyDeth!
Got Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury Special the other day but my arcade card still hasn't shown up! :/
I got "Devil Crash" yesterday.
For free. o_O
There was some guy a bought a bunch of games from and he discovered he had a second copy of DC, next to the one he wanted to sell. And since he knew I was looking for one to fill the gap between my "Alien Crush" and "Jaki Crush", he gave it to me totally out of the blue! Very happy about that. :)
EDIT: It seems to be very awesome, by the way. Just played for 15 minutes or so so far but wow....visuals and music sure are nice.

Quote from: johnnykonami on 12/21/2015, 01:25 PMWhat game are you gonna christen it with?
I tried it out with Fatal Fury 2, then Fatal Fury Special, and then Art of Fighting. Sadly, I don't really find myself a fan any of these games because they're too hard for me; I'll stick with it though.
I can play using Terry and Ryo in these games and that's pretty much it. I played a lot of KOF 95 on the Saturn and Match of the Millennium on NGPC, but all of the other titles I've only played a little bit of. So I feel ya on not being great at fighting games, but even still every now and then I like to pick one up. For me, I get bored long before the point you'd need to play to get really good at one. Kabuki Ittoryoudan seems like a pretty good PCE exclusive if you like fighting games, I'd like to get that one myself to complete my PCE Tengai Makyou collection.

Yeah, Kabuki Ittoryoudan is a pretty decent fighting game. I played it just recently with a friend.
Kabuki is probably my main reason to have an arcade card duo besides Sapphire. The arcade card ports of the neo fighters are the best you're going to get next to an actual neo-geo. It's also nice to have for certain hybrid games when watching cut scenes.
Yeah, and it's not as hard to get as Sapphire, to boot.

Yeah, I've never been good at these types of games but usually I can beat at least a couple of people before I lose; even when I put it on beginner I couldn't get anywhere in Fatal Fury Special! They are pretty nice looking and sounding games though and, surprisingly, the zooming in and out on Art of Fighting didn't really bother me like I thought it might.
Latest batch of games.
I didn't even think I was going to be able to repossess the US Turbo versions of Dragon Slayer and Ys Book but I think I got a good deal on them. Also last time I played Dragon Slayer I was lucky a guy loaned me his copy for a few weeks if I recall correctly we met from classified ads probably some kind of video game trade pc engine stuff. Even thought I beat the game I still wanted to own a copy and alas he wouldn't sell it. I used to just play the music directly from the CD audio back then but now i love the pcm tracks and amazingly they have sampled drums. Tokimeki and Future boy are still shrink wrapped.. I don't think I will have time to try them all out. My games keep telling me to delete stuff from memory.....

Gain Ground SX (http://www.pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games/Gain_Ground_SX.htm)
P-47: The Freedom Fighter (http://www.pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games/P-47.htm)
I think I recognize at least one of those games. :dance:
If you ever feel like booting up MAME I can totally recommend P-47 Aces (P-47's sequel) as top-notch.
Spent a little too much moolah than I wanted to for Super Raiden. I've gotten far into the arcade original's first loop, but get crushed pretty pitilessly; I suppose the much-toned-down difficulty of Super Raiden will offer a far quicker clear.
Similarly so with Super Darius II. I am a gigantic Darius fanboy, so it was more of me biding my time until I couldn't resist picking up the game a few weeks ago. The zoomed-in nature of the play-field is quite strange; wholly unlike Super Darius 1. The Arcade Darius II's first stage on the sun was already pretty slow and easy, but SD2 takes it to new levels with its extremely anemic rocks and nonexistent enemy formations. I look forward to diving deeper into the game to see if it picks up more of a pace. I've been only able to clear the MegaDrive Darius II, as the arcade version is incredibly ruthless with its "do it in one life or bust" mentality.
super raiden is 10 long ass stages. good luck
Thanks; I've made it to the 7th stage of arcade Raiden without using a continue; I wager the PC Engine version cannot be more assholish than that game's penchant for hiding tanks on the bottom corners of the screen and sniping your feeble ship out of the sky.
I was able to clear Kyuukyoku Tiger's PCE port a few months ago, which, like all Toaplan games, redefines "long-ass stages." The K-Tiger copycat Raiden moves along at a brisk pace comparatively!
EDIT: Fun fact: I mentioned this elsewhere, but I suppose it's worth mentioning that Super Raiden and the PCE port of Kyuukyoku Tiger were developed by the same group, A.I. - as opposed to NEC and Taito as had been previously thought. Small world!

Neat, you got Ane San. You can let us know how it plays.
Today I reached 116 games in my collection. The latest additions to the "family" are two western games released in Japan only: Lemmings (Sunsoft) and Builderland (Microworld). Both coming complete with spine cards.

Another new arrival today: but it is not a game!
Pixellence Vol.1 reached my desk this morning. It is actually the second copy I bought so I can leave one untouched and read the other. :)

Lady Phantom is a bit underrated and I love the music. Really wish there was a translation of this. I beat it, but have no clue what the story is or what the characters are saying in the game.

Fixed.
Got some common PC Engine stuff here. Nothing crazy but a nice little bundle,

Just got an Arcade Card Pro. This way I'll be able to get my old CD-ROM2 Interface unit back in full order and ready to play all games. Now I just need a System Card 1.0 in order to play Altered Beast CD. :D

I wanted to share something I have been wanting a long time. I received a package from the man, myth, and legend of PCEFX forums: Keith Courage. First I want to say is "KEITH, THANK YOU!" You have provided a drop dead gorgeous system that I can enjoy for years to come. Keith is great to work with and provided exactly what I asked for: A RGB modded beautifully restored PC Engine Briefcase Setup.
Also I know I'm in total noob status on the forums, but I like it here. Tend to read more than post. It really is a mix of talents and opinions and overall truly the best place on the internet for anything TG-16 or PCE. Thank you all for each one of your contributions. Now if you will excuse me, I'm off the play my PCE! (Modified from last post to actually show pics without having to click on links. Why didn't I do this before? Because I'm a dork!) :P

I know I've been IN TOO DEEP in LUST CITY before; let me tell you boys, there are consequences.
And something we all can enjoy, horrifically-drawn character art. This is junior-high level art here:

I've been playing the original on Ootake for a while to get to know it, and while the port is flawed, the sequel fixes just about every problem I have with the port (that being: the gigantic hitbox!). Image Fight II is a real treat. Despite its high difficulty, it is far more fair about its assholish behavior than the HuCard game. I've been told I need an avenue 3 pad to really get the most out of it, because the pod-firing button is mapped to select, which is less than ideal.
I guess that's an excuse to get an avenue 3 pad down the road, and Forgotten Worlds! (maybe; I really like the Genesis port).
If you like the Genesis port of Forgotten Worlds, you'll love the PCE port, which is much more beautiful and faithful to the original game.

Today I got Insanity and Pyramid Plunder from Aetherbyte. With these two games I supported the homebrew scene buying at least one copy of each new game published (well, I am missing Protocade on AbCard in reality but for that it's too late...)

Satellites of love.
But, sadly, even satellites of love fail to provide more than 3% of the fun vs. a proper 2-player co-op.
SOLUTION:
When playing Turbo Forgotten Worlds, simply pretend you are at the arcade with a friend, but, unfortunately, your friend has already RUN OUT OF QUARTERS.

Thought you didn't like PCE's Altered Beast?
I do not. Horrible Port. However it is still a game I'd like the option to play even for quick comparison.
And yesterday I got Avenger. I played it quite a lot in "backup" form and enjoyed enough to buy the real deal. Was also cheap enough!
(http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq198/brizi0/3D99E1E3-3CEE-4D5F-9886-5665A5CFDE7D_zps610kjyd1.jpg)
new pce stuff. I really haven't spent too much time with them and although over the years I was deliberating on possession of Powerdrift I finally caved in...I've always thought it a poor port but now I kinda appreciate it. It's just I know it could have been better if it was done out of the hands of ASMIK.
Arunamu no Kiba I am really impressed, the in-game cut scenes are really well done, also because a lot of the in-game music has drum samples. Haven't spent too much time with Neo Metal Fantasy yet.

What!? Someone switched out Revenge of Shinobi's ROM for Ghouls 'n Ghosts? The bastards!
I am honestly surprised how many TG-16 games have a Genesis port as well.
But yeah. Nice everdrive action lol
Random stuff I got today: Neo Metal Fantasy, Rock-On and Pac-Land. The last two are still brand new and are waiting to be opened tonight! :D

I've been looking for a Super CD ROM attachment for my Core Grafx for a while and finally decided to get a Duo R instead after finding a deal from lastcallhall on this site. The sale included an Arcade card, Avenue Pad 6, Core Grafx pad, multi tap, and component mod. I may end up selling my Core Grafx to help offset this purchase, but that is undecided at this time. I need to see what those even sell for right now.
Thanks again to lastcallhall for the great deal. Everything was packaged well and shipped quickly.

Well of course, the way to enjoy it as much as possible is to play it in English. :D
Aren't the Wizardry games partially in English?
Still crazy to think about all the Neo Geo ports the system got all the way into 1994... Even if the 8bit sound effects in World Heroes 2 are pretty lame, the whole package is very impressive.

unfortunately you DO need quite a bit of japanese know how to get through this... Unless someone finishes translating this then the SEGA CD might be the way to go unless you can also get the MSX versions...

To be honest, it pains me greatly that the Sega CD version exists. It is the sole reason people are demotivated from translating the PCE version, which in my opinion, is probably one of the best/pure versions of the game out there.

Well the SegaCD version does also have additional scenes and such that aren't in the PCE version if I remember correctly. So it doesn't help that it really is considered a bit more a definitive version than the PCE one when trying to convince people to do a translation.
And by 'pure' you mean 'no tittehs or jailbait butt'. Pffft, lame. :P
Today I finished off my FACE PCE collection. Once I realized there were only 10 of them, I got the mahjong game I didn't have, and one game I didn't have the case for, and now here we are!

This past week I got my first PC duo, and a few games for it. I snagged Dungeon Explorer, Samurai ghost, devil's crush, ninja spirit, Rondo of Blood, and some others that aren't coming to mind. I've never played with a PCE, until now, but I really like the games I've tried so far. I'm pretty addicted to Castlevania right now...

I scored Mysterious Song [SE] (2014 Release Version) for $19.95 today in another clearance flash sale (50 sold out in ~3 hours!) by OldRover, not bad for a new homebrew CD, and doesn't offend my cheap bastard inclinations much.
wayback://ebay.com/itm/201577211519 (https://web.archive.org/web/20190510023819if_/https://www.ebay.com/itm/201577211519)
(?action=dlattach&topic=14453&attach=6115&image)
My copy arrived today, so that was 6 days ago from the order date, not bad. CD/Manual look perfect, but slight bang-up led to a little crack on the case, and about half of the teeth that grip the disc by its center had broken off, a few more and it would've come loose! As it's just a standard generic CD case, it's no big deal to grab another one and do a swap.
Anyway, gonna add its TOC to TurboRip's internal database right now if that's not what Bernie already gave me. It's good to see the Turbo got another full traditional RPG game as it never got as much compared to the SNES back in that era.
purchased this from my boy sarumaru! thanks again buddy!

coming right up
Got a S-Video mod installed in my Duo by Keith Courage and it showed up the other day. Originally I was reluctant to get this mod since I ultimately want to get something with RGB input and then get an RGB mod, but I have a TV with S-Video now so I caved and got this. The result is fantastic and I'm glad I had this done, it was worth every penny!
Second best video mod most people can get on older consoles. RGB is the best one but not everyone has access to RGB capable display. S-Video is very good and is great if you have display with S-Video.
The next best is composite which is the default of most consoles and they do suck now day.
There's also component (which is about same as RGB overall) and HDMI but a lot of them are only on newer consoles and extreme modding on older consoles. RF round out the list and it's the pits. It was fine in 1970 when most people had tiny 13" B&W TV. It looks diwnright ugly when you're using a 100" HDTV.
Got Avenue Pad 3 & 6, Arcade Card Pro, Supergrafx, Multi-Tap, and Turbo Everdrive Deluxe edition ( PC Engine design).
Got Dracula X in a trade from another site. Feels good to finally have this game.
Got my IFU all done up for RGB. And I love how this was able to be modded so that I can still hook it up for normal composite just in case I want to downgrade my video quality for whatever reason :) This is everything I ever wanted. I can take this briefcase anywhere and everywhere
(https://i.imgur.com/u4QtN2d.jpg)
I got 2 SCDs, Ave Pad 3, Ave Pad 6, Duo-RX controller, Hori Commander, SuperGrafx, CoreGrafx II, Arcade PRO card, Turbo Everdrive, and 19 games.
Yawara, Yawara II, Princess Maker, Princess Maker II, Ys I + II, Ys III, Ys IV, Prince of Persia, CD Bishoujo Chuushinha, Snatcher, Snatcher Pilot Disk, 3x3 Eyes, Brandish, Dragon Ball Z, Macross: Eternal Love, Far East of Eden: Kabuki-Den, Graduation, Graduation II, Graduation Miki.
Wonderboy III was my first CD-Rom game and years later I'm reunited with it

Two amazing games! I love Monster Lair. It was one of my first Turbo CD's. I still have my original. I do wish they used the same cover art the JP version has. I still need to finish Emerald Dragon. Such a good game and super cheap.

Not exactly. I bought one of those cards because it was like $80 plus shipping only to realize there wasn't very much interest in it and will try the other games on my everdrive instead of buying another one. I think there are three of these caravan hi card games in total.
You can trade it to me!
Today I got Dead Moon from Gynt's raffle!!
The game is a lot more satisfying than I expected - I like the little backstory it starts with, and then the visual storytelling in the first stage, having the moon behind you at all times, looking a bit as though it's been crashed into. Then you fight your way up there - it's nice! Haven't beaten it yet, though, the mortars on the moon stage really get me! their hitboxes are kind of ambiguous.

Was that the original sale price of it back then?
I got the PC Engine I ordered from Japan in the mail today. Now I just need games or a Turbo Everdrive.

I will take that controller from you when you aren't looking.

I got my Duo back, all not squeaky and shit and now with a friendly little switch instead of my falling-apart Kisado converter! Thank you, KeithCourage!

Good luck with that. I've been searching for a TG16 for years now and finally caved and ordered a PCE (because it's way cooler looking in the briefcase with the cd addon) from Japan. Now I'm just waiting on my Turbo Everdrive and once I verify everything works I'm going to mod it for s-video.
It's been a good summer for PCE games. Thanks MNKyDeth for Aldynes and Final Soldier and thanks nectarsis for Spriggan and Dragon's Curse. It always feels good to get some new shooters in the mix 8)

Play Spriggan asap, it does not disappoint. :D

Played it a little this morning, it's great! The power ups were confusing at first but pretty unique once you get the hang of it.
How many stages is it?
Yeah the way the power-ups work is one of my favourite things about it.
6 stages iirc.

Wow, i never knew that the PCE originally didn't have Turbo Switches!! Is that a rare controller or just a nice oddity to have?
Quote from: EvilEvoIX on 08/05/2016, 08:50 AMIs that a rare controller or just a nice oddity to have?
Both, I guess. They're much less common than controllers with turboswitches, as every 'normal' (not a mouse, illustbooster, or pachinko) controller later produced had turbos; but it's just an oddity, not something that makes any difference in game play and a must have.

I have been using a turbo-less controller for years...it probably would frustrate folks who rely on autofire for certain games...
Even I want to use autofire for some shootemups :)

Big thanks to Nectarsis.
I got my Turbo Everdrive! It wasn't today but rather the morning before I left for a business trip. The smallest SD card I have is a 4gb one, it's so much overkill. I'm surprised at how good Street Fighter II looks. Now I need to decide whether to mod the system for S-Video or wait until I get the CD-ROM^2 and IFU and figure out how to mod that.
recent stuff

I think I'll have to include my technique in a Doodle video. I actually use the inside of my thumb (opposite side of thumb knuckle) to hyper fast press button I or II
As previously said in the Sega thread I got some Sega games plus a couple of other great shooters:
- Altered Beast
- Golden Axe
- Winds of Thunder
- Side Arms
I love Side Arms and WOT is so advanced!! Love the 90's heavy metal soundtrack.
Got a game guide for Valkyrie no Densetsu.

Nice! Really enjoy mine.
Got my IFU back from Keith all modded up and a scart cable from Mickcris. Excellent work from both. Was playing Spriggan again which made me :D
My bud came to visit from Japan bearing gifts of Parodius, Kunio Kun Soccer, and SF2 Dash. All really fantastic. Thanks bud.
I got an NEC Avenue Pad 3, but one of the buttons is kinda dead :/ I'll try to salvage a rubber membrane from another controller later.

I was browsing fleebay a week ago and saw this on a newly posted Buy it now. Paid 35.00 shipped for it. Not sure what they go for and I rarely see them. Thought it would go well with my Shuttle. Now I just need a HuCard that writes to backup memory to test it with.
But the pilot can't see! He gonna crash!!!
You just bought a backup fuel reserve for your Shuttle.

Got my first PC Engine game in the mail today. After agonizing over what game to get for weeks, I ended up going with Splatterhouse.

It's a fun game. :)
Perfect for October (as someone mentioned on another thread).
As a Friday the 13th fan, I've liked this game/series for years and wanted to specifically get the PC Engine version :)
I'm really happy to have a physical copy after so long, so now I want to play the hell out of it and git gud.

85% New!
The Shubibinman games are relatively new to me. These don't get enough love.
Not today but just recently (finally) got a Turbo-Duo (thanks mickcris :) ) after ignoring it after my TG16 days. Also got the obligatory Turbo Everdrive from Stonagegamer.. so now I totally got the NEC thing going once again.. woot
I also popped in Splatterhouse's PCE port for some seasonal slaughter. Since the normal mode 1CC is pretty easy, I decided to go to hard mode (hold down Select at the title screen till it shows up).
Splatterhouse's hard mode is a lot trickier because enemies have much more health. Of course, that could just be my initial shock at a couple of strategies no longer working. You need 14-15 shots of shotgun ammo to kill Biggy Man on stage 3, which forces you to crouch kick essentially the entire level.
This could be me but the floating cross in the chapel seems more aggressive, as its heads feel like they come more frequently.
Still a great port. There are aspects of it I don't like over the arcade game: IIRC, scrolling stages in the arcade will still scroll even if you are at the left edge of the screen, the slightly looser controls (e.g. you can no longer get two kicks in at a Mirror Rick as it's bursting out of the window), and while it's a minor thing I miss the auto-walk Rick does when getting to the end of a scrolling section (which allowed you to safely get out of fighting some of the boreworms and mirror Ricks later in the game).
Still, it's good fun. I don't know if there are any other non-digital-comic/adventure game horror-themed games on the system other than... Demon World.
Got myself a boxed copy of Madden today.

I had to do a double take on this.... Then I realized you had "copy" in that sentence.
I was thinking oh dang... That's not real.

What kind of info would you like? Who I bought it to? How much I paid? What's inside these versions?
Quote from: shubibiman on 09/03/2017, 11:44 AMWhat kind of info would you like? Who I bought it to? How much I paid? What's inside these versions?
The content! I'm curious about the content on each. Any slight variations/differences is what I am curious about.
:)
(I have a vague knowledge of the special HuCARD releases...plus, there is always the chance that you might notice something that previous commenters didn't mention).
For example, the art on the HuCARDs themselves vs. commercial retail product.
:)
PC Genjin 3 Sample is just the exact same thing.
Bomberman Users Battle is quite interesting : the title screen is different and there are only two modes :
- Users Battle 1 (which is the normal multiplayer mode)
- Users Battle 2 (which is the multiplayer mode with the "skull" bonuses).
Haven't tried PC Genjin 3 Taikenban though.

So, for the sample, does it appear to be standard commercial release, but with sticker affixed? Like, for trade shows/journalists/promotional events?
Anyway, thanks for the scoop :)
I should read about these items on the interwebz... I know I read stuff about them years ago...but I clearly didn't retain more than 20% of the info.

Yes, exactly :)
I'm curious how much you paid!!
Also, I recently got a bunch of new stuff that nobody probably cares about (gulliver boy, to compare to the saturn version! etc), but also in going through my collection I noticed I had a sealed copy of Violent Soldier. Why do I have that? Why is it sealed? Where did I get it from? I don't remember any of it.
does that ever happen to you all?
If you're curious, they were apparently trying to sell it for 6,500 yen new. It also had a newer updated sticker that said 1,000 yen. The poor thing.
been a while since I got any PCE tities
