No pics yet, because I have not received them yet, but I am pretty excited about it.

I picked up 2 copies of Lucienne's Quest for the 3DO for 12.99 each.  Had to have been a typo, I hope they don't cancel my order.

That's a nice collection.  I haven't drooled on my screen this much in quite some time!

Joe Redifer

That's awesome!  I've never seen the boxes for those things until now.  If those were on a store shelf, I'd want to buy 'em.

That's one damn hello of a bunch of greaties you got there. you sure are one lucky guy :D

That's great news they arrived henry, I was pretty worried about it showing up.

Here's my new addition.  Holy hell when it arrived it was horribly dirty.  Took literally two hours to clean it up.  It had a horrible black film all over the whole thing and the orange piping around the edges was the worst. The cards were disgusting also.  It cleaned up well though.

Arkhan Asylum

lol, epic.


you have to pray to that every time you play TG
This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

lol, that's pretty cool. Now all you need is a TGX kiosk like the one Sparky has.

Roy - awesome pickup you got there.  That's definately a prize to have.  Bummer it was so dirty - did it look different than the one pictured in his auction (ie - did it look like the seller had more than one?)  That would be pretty crappy - photo the clean one, sell the dirty one.

JapanTokei- I paid Sicboy's asking price plus I paid some extra for the shipping insurance.  My only hesitation was that I have so many duplicates of games, but those will be going on my trade list sometime in the next week or so.  Some of the great stuff like Sapphire (Legit), DracX, and Spriggan will be added to the list.

Nah, it was definately the same one from the auction.  The pics in the auction, now that I look back, show all of it...  If you compare the pic I posted of it to the completed auction you'll see what I mean.  I'm happy though.
All is well. :)

Yea, I think so too.  Anyone have Mystic Formula?  from reviews that looks like Time-Soldier with 4 player simu action... looks darn cool, but also relatively elusive, I haven't seen one come up for sale.

Henry - $1400 for that is a steal.  If I were you I would sale some of the systems w/games you don't need as bundles and keep the rare items like Darius Alpha and 1941.  With some effort, I think you can net $1K or so in a few auctions, leaving you with a cost basis of $400 for lots of goodies :)

just curious, does the Draculax / Sapphires / other tough PCE CD games have spine cards?  it's not showing in the pics.

JapanTokei, most of the games have spinecards and registration cards, but I'm keeping those.  I do have duplicates without those items.  I've got to locate my dracx spine/reg - I bought it new and know I kept it - just have to find the items to add to my trade list.  Keeping track of everything is a chore for sure.  I may do as you suggest and sell, but right now I would rather get trades.  I'm still missing a few US games/parts and am looking for some PCE titles too.  Here's the trade list: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=8161.0.  Oh, and I have another BIG order coming in that will really beef up my collection.

A couple of my purchases all came in at once - including the biggie!  I wonder if my bank will take a credit card for the mortgage payment?  Boy, am I screwed if someone puts up a large PCE Shmup collection for sale!

Actually, only a very few duplicates out of this lot (mostly upgrades of what I had), and no, I'm not looking to complete the PCE collection.  :lol:  I will add a few dupes to my trade list once I go through everything!

Oh, and thanks for the interest on the trades.

oh WOW Henry - fock I am drooling now.  That is one heck of a nice collection, with PC Genjin 3 hucard, the Gunheads, and the Bomberman 93 taikenbans... <-- I still want that myself.

how much did that set you back?  The PC Genjin3 collection itself set me back almost $200 !!!

Quote from: henrycsc on 06/18/2010, 02:02 AMToday was a pretty good day

I got the bulk of the lot (stuff inside the BIG BOX) from Thibaut's sales thread.  He gave me a really good price since I bought so much at once.  Let's just say it was somewhere between the price of US Might and Magic III and US Magical Chase Complete In Box.

Yeah henry that's one hell of a nice grab.  Congrats!  After my vacation next week I need to set aside some money for a couple games I've been trying to get.  Sadly Coryoon is one of them so I'll be saving for a while.
