Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Nearly Gone

Groover · 11/20/2015, 08:14 PM

Thank You Bernie and Team. I just got them. This weekend is looking good. I'm excited as well for the next batch.

EmperorIng · 11/20/2015, 08:31 PM

Only chiming in to say the discs arrived. My gratitude goes out to all involved in the project.

retro junkie · 11/20/2015, 08:40 PM

Got my Dracula X disc today. Looks like I will be Turbo Duoling this weekend.

martinine · 11/20/2015, 08:54 PM

Hi all. My stuff came in yesterday. I got home late, so I was only able to put the discs in for a quick spin. To my GREAT satisfaction, they all boot quickly and quietly and played like champs. Can't wait to go nuts on them this weekend.

Thanks so Much Bernie, Bluebeamer, Nightwolve (I think you have a hand in this...)and anyone else involved.

I can't wait to see what else is coming!

Happy gaming this weekend and next!

I am running a contest just for forum members with loosie Dracula X booties. Go here to see details on how to win a ready made case with inserts.

Question, why are the inserts for "super cd" and not black like other US releases? Just curious.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Marto_Jo-ing · 11/20/2015, 09:29 PM

Thanks again for the games Bernie and Team, I sent you a $20 donation. 3 great games I've never played before. Beyond Shadowgate is classic. I love the gameplay and graphics.Thanks again!!!

I already purchased a set of cases from braap, actually. I just wanted to brag a little...

Bernie · 11/21/2015, 08:08 AM

Ok peeps. This batch is officially being closed. If you PMd me and did not hear back, it is because we are basically out. Soon as we get the next batch in, BlueBMW will update the thread. Hope everyone enjoys their games, and apologies to those that missed out. Wish I had enough to keep going, but we just dont.

waynedoodle · 11/21/2015, 08:46 AM

For those that missed out, are there any alternare sites that offer these games?
I think it was outstanding to see a few dedicated fans offer something neat to the community. Kudos from me for that.

That's awesome! I got mine in yesterday and very happy! Do you want us to go ahead and PM you about the next batch now or wait?

Bernie · 11/21/2015, 10:37 AM

Wait, as they will be handled differently.

Good. If my disks weren't individually loved by Bernie then I wouldn't want any part in this.

wyndcrosser · 11/21/2015, 09:56 PM

I've done a ultra spectral analysis of my discs and they shoe no signs of being "loved" by Bernie, does that make mine more rare ;-p

schweaty · 11/22/2015, 12:41 AM

i dont suppose tobias had any of the original PCE Memories discs laying around as well. i've had a semi for that sylphia pressed disc for a while now

MNKyDeth · 11/22/2015, 01:30 AM

I was actually thinking a similar thing about all the other reproduction stuff that is out there.

Would it be viable to start a thread that could get stickied that has pictures of every known repro that is out there? With descriptions of what is different.

That way there is a resource people can go to so they know what a fake looks like. And, by comparing to the originals people can see or point out exactly the difference if someone makes a near perfect copy of something.

Just thought I would ask, I know it's a bit off topic here but seems appropriate.

As for these latest repros by Tobias under the PCE WORKS brand the discs and inserts were designed in a way to be completely different from the real thing. Not only is the artwork different but "PCE WORKS" is stamped on each disc and insert. Pretty simple.

The only exception is Sapphire and you can find a detailed writeup on how to differentiate it from the ridiculously priced original by visiting CrackTiger's site at superpcenginegrafx.net

MNKyDeth · 11/22/2015, 01:52 AM

Awesome, checking it out Mathius, thank you.

Ok, there will be an update TODAY with pics for the next batch. Hope everyone is pleased with what they have gotten thus far.

As one of my favorite YouTube personalities would say... "Game THE FUCK on!".

Played beyond shadowgate all night with some homies last night! Needless to say I am very happy with them! Thanks guys!

retro junkie · 11/22/2015, 06:13 PM

Blown away playing Dracula X on my Duo. Freakin awesome!

Gentlegamer · 11/22/2015, 07:22 PM

I was just looking at the Beyond Shadowgate bootie and laughed at the copyright info on the disc.

It's telling me I don't have enough free memory to save my game, how do I manage a Duo-R's memory?

Bernie · 11/22/2015, 07:28 PM

Press select at the Super System screen. That takes you where you can delete files or format the entire backup.

But I'll lose my Rondo and Cratermaze saves.

How do I format?

greedostick · 11/22/2015, 07:44 PM

Last I looked last year, this seemed like an impossible doing. I appreciate this project, especially the nice printed translations.

Try again, yours would be the first time we've ever heard of it not working. If you can't access the menu, try a different controller.

Gentlegamer · 11/22/2015, 07:53 PM

I reset and it worked, I got to the menu in moon runes and was able to delete some saves.

Is there a translation for the PCE menus? I just selected the first runes and then "YES" on save games to delete, but I'd like to know what the rest means so I don't accidentally format it all.

Bernie · 11/22/2015, 08:00 PM

1st is delete
2nd is format
3rd is exit

If you boot up the normal TurboGrafx system card and press select it will be in English. <3

I need more people to test the US Super System Card image running in the TED2 ... just saying!

CrackTiger · 11/22/2015, 11:58 PM

You can run the rom of any of the system cards on any flashcard to edit your saves. From what I've heard, even the TurboBooster Plus/Tennokoe 2. It's only when you trying running a CD game that you need more than a CD2 system card.

Was just a thought in case you had one laying around, could load it up on an everdrive as well.
