OPE - that looks sweet! compact but full of goodies.

I'll trade you my Gunhed special for that 1941 over there!

JapanTokei · 08/30/2011, 02:55 AM

Since I'm doing some thorough cleaning, I decided to unbox some of my hardware collection and zap a few pictures to share.

Here is my collection at a glance (complete)

https://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab222/japantokei/3.jpg

https://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab222/japantokei/4.jpg}

with the DE2 US Duo version on its way from ol' beamer, I'm pretty much complete (sans a LT!! lol)
Out of these, the most difficult one to piece together was the Super CD-Rom units boxed. (of course the boxed Shuttle took forever to find, but it came complete) The tale went like this:
1> I bought a collection + SuperGrafx that came with the boxed unit, but no instructions, during the height of the economic crash in Feb 2009 for an amazing 27000 yen.
2> It took me then 6 or so months to find another Super CD unit that was sold without a box yet had the instructions.
3> I then bundled up the non-complete one and sold the duplicates off, finally bringing the Super CD unit together with the instructions and all

The PCE RX is a fancy one.. the box is almost in mint condition. I endedup buying a Duo-R from Michael (the guy in JP that mods Duos to RGB) and leaving the RX in the box.

I mainly play with my TG-16 for US, and the Briefcase setup for my JP/PCE titles. Just worship the slick design of that briefcase (notice how I am pumping it with the US TG CD instead of the PCE whitie one, which is my backup unit....

RR1980 · 08/30/2011, 03:27 AM

Did someone say "LT" ?

NecroPhile · 08/30/2011, 11:14 AM

Though not so neat with the cords attached, that Shuttle is a neat lookin' machine.

Senshi · 08/30/2011, 12:47 PM

"sample disc: Faceball"? Something you made tokei or some kind of rare give away?

They're legit; being the Facclerball loving goon that I am, I must have a copy someday.

thrush · 08/30/2011, 08:31 PM

These are some nice set-ups! ^^b

JapanTokei · 08/31/2011, 01:26 AM

That Faceball is some rare sheit. Supposed stats is only 1000 were made, on par with Bonk 3 sample PCE huey. I saw the faceball as part of a big bundle and snatched it up. Its fully playable too. I made a silent review on Youtube. Look for Japantokei or faceball sample

Bernie · 09/04/2011, 04:27 PM

Here is mine. I had this shelf special made for my growing Turbo collection. A buddy of mine is a woodworker, and made this shelf from solid maple. No nails involved, but some special type of lip joint that holds it together at joints. Anyway, I dont normally have the console set up on it, but did so for the sake of this picture. Hopefully I will fill this up over time.

hoobs88 · 09/04/2011, 06:26 PM

Very nice Bernie!

PunkCryborg · 09/04/2011, 06:53 PM

That's a friend you wanna keep! Yeah that maple looks gorgeous. I made a stereo rack using maple with a natural finish like that and it looks fantastic. You have some sweet games in there too!

Bernie · 09/04/2011, 08:42 PM

Thanks guys!

JapanTokei · 09/05/2011, 12:50 PM

Sweet setup Bernie! Is that a bootleg sapphire? I cant tell

Bernie · 09/05/2011, 03:18 PM

Yeah, its a bootleg Sapphire with a Sparky insert.

The TG-CD box is so ridiculously huge. It looks like it's almost big enough for all the other boxes to fit inside like a big mama cichlid.

P.S. - Is the LA hiding out of shame for being nude?

The 'no ebay' tag gives it away as a bootie.

CGQuarterly · 09/06/2011, 02:40 PM

My collection is a lot smaller than most peoples' around here, but I like it.

This is where I do all of my gaming. The monitor is a Sony PVM-1341 13" RGB display. It's small, but it has a great picture and fits my setup perfectly. I don't really have room for something bigger unless I move away from a CRT, which I don't want to do. I play all of my systems in RGB (except the Atari, which is s-video modded), so I've done a lot of modding, and it's totally worth it.

My only Turbo is the PC Engine Duo-R in the picture, there. I used to have a TG-16, but sold it when I bought this. It's from Doujindance, and is RGB and region modded, and came with a new laser assembly. It's pictured there with a US Turbo Duo controller, but I also have a white PCE controller, and a 6-button Duo-RX pad.

Due to space constraints, the PCE isn't always what's sitting there. The NES has a permanent home on top of the TV, but the spot where the PCE sits is where I rotate in whatever other console I want to play at any given time.

This is my collection of Turbo games. Not the biggest, but I have a bunch of good titles there, I think. It grows slowly, because I'm not going to pay eBay prices for things. You can't really see it, but there's a PCE flash cart sitting on top of the cabinet, which let's me play the games that I haven't been able to buy yet. All of the loose Hus in the pile there are in those little credit card sleeves that some of us bought cheap off of eBay. I highly recommend them.

That's it.

Nah, I just didn't realize it was hidden until I got ready to snap the shot.... and I was too lazy to recompose the pic. The GT and LT are nude too. The LaserActive wouldn't have made the pic, but Beamer was kind enough to supply me with the NEC branded one, so it is now part of the family.

Nice collection. Go Aggies!...are you a Aggie alumni too?

GameFreak · 09/07/2011, 04:16 AM

Damn... you guys have some GRRREAT collections! My collection is growing fast recently. I really like the original JPN interface unit and US tg16+cd more than the duo systems. It looks so much nicer IMO. I have never had a problem with the internal plastic gears (yet).

The people that have helped me with my collection most are BlueBMW, Keith Courage, Henrycsc, Senshi, Hit-Japan (ebay),...and others. Thanks guys!

The wireless controllers are actually pretty smooth, but overall they are more of a "collector item" than a "gamer item".

Ok,....but seriously, you could have the best system, and the best games, but it doesn't matter unless you have the best (most adequate) controllers! Most recently I have been seeking the 6-button accessories which I highly recommend!!

pc-engine wireless controllers
pc-engine mouse boxed
pc-engine pachinko controller
pc-engine Imagineer Arcade Stick (Also works on SNES, Sega, Neo-Geo) boxed
pc-engine Hori Fighting Stick PC (this arcade stick is SO amazing

)
pc-engine Hori Fighting Commander PC

PunkCryborg · 09/07/2011, 01:56 PM

jibbajabba that sony monitor looks great. I hope to find one like that sometime as I also do most of my PCE gaming on a smaller tv on my desk. The colors look so crisp!

Lilgrafx · 09/07/2011, 07:23 PM

I bet Beamers got a great collection wonder If he'll ever post hear?

Nice to meet a Turbo fan that's also an Aggie.

I graduated in '01....wow, just realized it's been 10 years.

Everyone has got some great collections/pictures! I'll have to round up my collection and snap some pics soon.

bartre · 09/08/2011, 01:49 AM

well crap tats.
you just made me feel soooooooooooooo inadequate.
you too beemer, damn.
that said, i WAS pretty proud of my collection, all 35 of them, counting US and JP.

arcade pad = RX pad?

Mishran · 09/08/2011, 07:48 AM

Well, there is the reason for the lack of PC Engine and Core Grafx systems available anywhere... Tats is hoarding them!

I love the RX-6 button pad for some reason, feels better in my hands compared to the Avenue 6. Didn't even know they sold the Arcade pad separately in retail! I want it!

TATs - time to suck it up and move undust your collection and retake the pictures!! wasn't that picture from a few years ago?? (lol, I can only say things like this since I just finally undusted my colelction myself and finally took new pictures that obeys)

The RX pad does feel nice in the hands, I like the lumps on the back. The d-pad and buttons don't do it for me though.

Sadler · 09/10/2011, 05:46 PM

Wow, OK, there are some amazing collections here!

BlueBMW, that's a very aesthetically pleasing arrangement of games! Are you accustomed enough to it that finding a game you want to play is easy?

Tatsujin, holy shit. That's about all I can say about that. I don't think my collection will ever be near that bad ass!
