[General Gaming / Re: Let's talk about light gun games.]

+1. I love Typing of the Dead as well.  Can't beat the fun of typing some silly phases and cheesy voice acting actually adds to the fun. 

I also love Typing of the Dead.  It's not a light gun game, but it is obviously based on one.  It's my favorite Dreamcast game. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Do you play your games? Are you afraid of insertion marks?]

At first, I thought the OP was talking about Neo Geo.  Back on topic- Games are meant to be played!  So yes, I play my games (Hucard and Neo Geo homecarts) and I am not worried about insertion mark.

[General Gaming / Re: Let's talk about light gun games.]

No difference other than the color for SS stunner.  I did most of my gaming on import Sega Saturn back in the days so I have not tried the PSX version for Area 51.

Yes, you need to try some point blank games!

kitkit - was there a difference other than color for the SS stunner?

also, wasn't Area 51 markedly better on PSX over SS?

I seriously need the point blank games....

[General Gaming / Re: Let's talk about light gun games.]

Light gun of my choice:
SNES - Konami Justifer
PS1 and PS3 - Namco Guncon
Sega Saturn - Japanese Stunner
Sega Dreamcast - Starfire Lightgun

I used to play lots of console gun games and here are my favorites:
SNES - Lethal Enforcer 1
PS1 - Point Blank 1 2 3, Elemental Gearbolt
PS3 - Time Crisis 4, House of the Dead Overkill
Sega Saturn - Virtua Cop 1 2, Area 51, Mechanical Violator Hakaider
Sega Dreamcast - Confidential Mission, House Of the Dead 2

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Youtube: The Shubibinman (Shock Man) Series]

I used to own all 3 games + Shockman.  Out of all 3, I enjoy 2 the most and I would only recommend that game to newbie.  I agree that co-op in Shockman is a plus, but there are better action platformers out there as mentioned by Michirin9801. I prefer Dracula X, Splatterhouse, Ninja Spirits etc over the Shubibinman series.

All told, I think it's definitely one of the better franchises on the PC Engine.  There isn't exactly a ton of action platformers on the system and playing Shockman co-op is a real treat.  I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't played them yet.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What Turbo game are you currently playing?]

Out of all the Japanese dating sims that came out in the 90s, I would say Tokimeki Memorial is the most enjoyable and playable.

This does not really sound like my kind of game. A dating sim RPG?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What Turbo game are you currently playing?]

Great game and it's nice to see someone who appreciate the game.  I used to spend hours on the Sega Saturn version.

Tokimeki Memorial - so much charm and nostalgia for old konami in here

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Best PCE Sega game?]

I voted Outrun as well. Somehow I like the PCE version more than the Genesis version.

G-Mantle failed to provide concrete evidence regarding his "deal" with nectarsis at Neo Geo forum.  nectarsis might have a few bad deals in the past. However, it's not acceptable for G-Mantle to make groundless accusation. 

As a result, G-Mantle has been limited to the War Room at Neo Geo Forum.

Rockman X4 (Saturn version)- spent 6 hours trying to beat the final boss using Zero. It was extremely frustrating.  Beat it and never want to play that game again

Ninja Spirits (PC Engine)- I beat it once long long time ago.  I remember the last 2 stages are pretty tough. 

Super Ghosts & Ghouls (SNES) - Beat it once and never want to go through the torture again.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Akumajo Dracula X - chi no rondo [rinne] = overhyped game?]

If you played straight through the game (without finding any of the 'side' stages or characters) and didn't like it, playing through a second time isn't gonna make you suddenly love the game.

I take a different view. There are games that I didn't like at first, but started liking/loving it after I give them more time. 

As I said in my other post, I thought it was OK but not amazing. Definitely better than the SNES 'version' and I would like to have it in my collection eventually.

I imagine if CV4 was the first CV game you ever played, you definitely wouldn't appreciate Rondo (or CV1, 2, or 3 for that matter). I grew up on CV and I think I've played through every 2D 'non-Metroidvania' CV game, and probably in pretty close to the order they were released (except Rondo which I didn't get to play until many years later). Bloodlines was the only one I disliked enough to probably never play again. I play through CV1 and CV3 at least once a year.

Your assumption is incorrect. I played through CV1 & CV3 during the NES era; played through CV4 in 1992 and CVX (SNES) in 1995. Not until 2000, did I play Dracula X - chi no rondo (purchase the game with Duo R at the same time). To me, Akumajo Dracula X - chi no rondo is so amazing that I was playing the game for 3 straight days non-stop to get it 100% complete.  The music & atmosphere are simply awesome.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Akumajo Dracula X - chi no rondo [rinne] = overhyped game?]

No way! Akumajo Dracula X - chi no rondo is not overhyped!!!!

Did people who criticized the game spend their time playing through the game (100% complete)?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Finally got a Supergrafx!]

Hi guys,
I am just wondering if it's ok to use Duo R AC adaptor on Duo RX & vice versa.  As far as I know, both system uses Model PAD-129

The only difference is Duo R's input 20VA while Duo RX's input 19VA. Otherwise, both AC adapter are identical.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: PCE Hu Cards - PC Genjin 2 + 3 and Raiden]

If you don't win that eBay auction, I'd pull the trigger on this one if I were you.  I just bought PCE Gradius from twalden, and unlike a sketchy ebay seller he ships immediately and in a box, so you know it will be secure.

You might ask him what it comes with, too; the picture of the Gradius I bought showed only the manual, case, and Hu like the pics posted in this thread -- but it also included the reg card and a konami promo insert for Gradius, Salamander, and Parodius (I was very pleasantly surprised).

Lochlan is right. Buy from twalden!!!  I bought a whole bunch of PCE games from him 2 weeks ago and he gave me an incredible deal.  All of his games are in excellent condition as well.  If I weren't looking for the CD version, I would have bought this Raiden from him in a second.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Bomberman '94 Taikenban: what is it worth?]

I bought it today at the NW Classic Gaming Enthusiasts annual Retro Gaming Expo.  Picked it up with New Zealand Story, Tennokoe Bank, and a loose copy of Boxy Boy for $25.

From the same guy I got a MINT/complete copy of Vay for $20 and a Saturn joystick for $5.  The guy I bought it from had a crazy amount of good deals (the one I really wish I could have picked up was BoF IV sealed for $20) and some really weirdo rare stuff that I couldn't afford (Dreamcast dev kit).

I'm definately going to save my pennies for when next year rolls around

Yeah, demo copies are not easy to come by for some reason.  I own some DC & SS demo that cannot be found on Ebay or store as well.

$25 for all 4 is one hell of a deal!! I guess you are mainly getting the Tennokoe Bank   Zealand Story is nice too. 

LMK if you ever want to let go this demo. I wish San Francisco has similar gaming expo like the one you mentioned

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: turbografx 16 AC adapter & modding question]

FYI, it's my understanding that modding a Super Grafx to play US Hucards causes problems with Aldynes.  I believe it's playable, but it causes problems with the demo.  IIRC his is based on something Dean said to the Turbo list.

If you can't get somebody to install a region switch that will open/short pin 29 (IIRC) I would just stick to a mod on your Duo.

Thanks for the infor Lochlan,
I might not mod the Super Grafx if that's the case.  Maybe modding Shuttle or Duo R is the way to go 

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: turbografx 16 AC adapter & modding question]

Thanks for the quick replies!  I will probably use my Sega Genesis AC adapter for now.  In the long run, I am gonna to order from the owner of this site.  I assume the AC adapter they are selling is original, made by NEC.

As for region mod, I am not in a hurry.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / turbografx 16 AC adapter & modding question]

1st question
I recently found a US turbografx 16 system but it's missing an AC adapter.  What is the specification of the original US turbografx 16 AC adapter?  Can I use an AC adapter of another system (ie Nintendo, PC Engine)?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: after all these yrs I just realized I bought a bootleg game :-S]

haha so lately I have been going through all my old stuff in the basement caues I am moving out of the country soon and I found my old PCE GT along with my Hu Card games. I am going try to see if I can sell them since I would rather let someone enjoy them instead of letting them sit in my basement for another 10 yrs. So I was just taking pics of the cases and manuals with the games and one of the games is Super Volleu Ball but to my surprise when I took out the manual instead of being a booklet it's actually a folded up poster type and the instructions are in Chinese! And then when I looked at the Hu Card itself the image on the card instead of being printed directly onto the card it was actually printed on a sticker and then put on the card. I guess volleyball is pretty straight forward so I never really needed to open up the manual to find out how to play the game so I was fooled all these yrs!! :-S hehe

Back in the days when PC Engine was popular, bootleg Hucard surfaced in Hong Kong and Taiwan.  "TL system" does not stand for the bootleg Shuttle system that was made in China (these Hucard exist before those bootleg machines were made).

As I remember, there are quite a few bootleg Hucard made. I have bought/seen these bootleg titles:

Splatterhouse (there is one currently on Ebay, item #280246785560).  Notice the company is "King music" on the manual.

Altered Beast

Mahjong Gakuen

Super Volleyball

4 in 1 including Super Dodgeball, Basketball, Super Volleyball & Human Cup soccer

I would say "uncommon." There are fewer of them out there than SuperGrafxes which aren't incredibly plentiful to begin with. They aren't very highly sought after items however, since most people with SuperGrafxes tend to want the Super CD-ROM^2 drive instead of the big bulky dock.

That said, you're absolutely right about the prices being all over the place... I've seen them sold for $100+, which is just ludicrous. I couldn't pay more than $20 for a used one, myself. That said, buying a brand new/sealed one for $20 still felt pretty good. Gotta love those "30RAU FOR PC COMPUTER"s[/quote]
Nat is right. I have sold a new RAU-30 SuperGrafx CD-ROM^2 adapter for $125 6 years ago via Ebay auction. I was asking for $25 only.  I can't imagine myself using The Super Grafx + RAU30 adapter + Super CD rom unit to play CD games.

My score over the years:

Dracula X SCD + Fighting Street CD $60
Super Grafx console no AC $35
Ys I & II US Turbo CD complete $1 (yes, $1.09 with tax)
