I hope you didn't pay too much for that dracula!  It would have been just as good to have downloaded and burned to a blank CD.  but then it seems as though this is one instance where the reproduction may end up more than the original game!

It's only worth buying if it came with an energy drink six pack and rubber stake dildo.

50€, so a lot cheaper than the original. It includes an English translation disk too.

I got one of those star soldier competition time hu cards.

I think I'll just bother with the roms instead and my everdrive to try out the others.

So you bought one of those special caravan cards just to play it on your ever drive?

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.

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.

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)

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?

Gypsy

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?

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 :)

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.

I guess you must have Popeye like muscles around the thumb.

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.

My bud came to visit from Japan bearing gifts of Parodius, Kunio Kun Soccer, and SF2 Dash. All really fantastic. Thanks bud.
Keith Courage is #1. Alpha Zone inhabitant for life. Thanks to this forum for rejuvenating and continuing my interest in all things Obey.

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.

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.
