What PC-Engine Stuff did you get today?

[NecroPhile]

If my obey skills don't fail me, your right, the bottom game should be "Far East of Eden: Kabuki Den".

This could be a fun game, kinda like the screen shot quiz thread.

What's the second one from the top?  My guess is Don Doko Don, the only mostly green cover I can think of.

[Digi.k]

I feel sorry for the four games underneath Tenchi O Kurau (Kabuki Den on the bottom?).  Sorry, guys, but you're not cool enough to be in the family photo. 

they still in that picture tho!


ah well here they are.. taken separately.. >__> 

I'm too lazy to re-position the pc engine right now

Don doko Don....pppppffffffttttt.....

[VenomMacbeth]

Efera & Jiliora, Gotzendiener, and Gradius II...I am envious -.-

[johnnykonami]

I'd like to get Gradius II one day also, never prioritized because I've had the Saturn double pack since the 90's with I/II in it.  I love the PCE intro though showing all the ships weapons, I always thought that was awesome.

[NecroPhile]

Mmm, those are some goodies.  Dat Arle and Princess Kickass!!!

[johnnykonami]

Don doko Don....pppppffffffttttt.....

Don doko don is an awesome game!  You aren't implying otherwise I hope!

Funny enough I thought the game was Gain Ground, and then see it was Gradius II and was like well dammit haha

You could tell it was Gradius from the original photo because it has the "Konami" logo at the bottom right. From there, it's just a process of elimination to remember out how many Konami CD games have been released, and what the covers look like.

some fun mail call today



I have another box 'o goodies but it seems to be hung up in customs 

[Groover]

I got my discs from Bernie and co. I can't wait to dig into Dynastic Hero.

Daaamn I'm jealous. That's a real nice looking cyber stick, AND you got the adapter too! Lucky bastard you

[Vimtoman]

Just received this in the post.

[martinine]

Ugh. I have a new PCE Duo Black with purple accents sitting in customs all week! Can't wait to play with it instead of my muddy Duo RX 6 button. The d-pad is strange...

[HuMan]

I must obey now too. I've never owned a Duo before, or PCE I guess. I used to have a TG16 years ago.

[EmperorIng]

That everdrive will make you a happy man. The Core unit is in very nice condition - a display piece, perhaps? 

[HuMan]

No.

/nJmZwND.jpg

The Turbo Everdrive is awesome, I wish it existed back when I had a TG16. The original PCE is a lot better though, super tiny and has a smaller controller plug.

Left out the controller part there... Anyway, it's still sitting in customs at JFK...

Got Skweek and Götzendiener in the mail today. Götzendiener is a bit awkward to play but I like the look of it quite a bit and find it strangely compelling. Skweek is fun but became a little tiresome after not very long.

Gotz!  It's a short but interesting game.

That thing is cool as hell!  Don't think I've ever seen one.

I've heard that but it's not short for me because I keep getting stuck! :]

[martinine]

Controller came in today! It's actually in better shape than advertised. It seriously looks almost brand new. Everything is tight, and it plays like a dream. Using the original PCE Duo controller vs the 6-Button RX controller makes me feel like I'm definitely not playing the games on emulator now. For some reason the controller just makes everything perfect. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

[Digi.k]

These talks and pics of analogue controllers and 6 buttons is making me quite jealous...

I just received these but I don't think I got the time to test it out till after I'm done with Xenoblade C.X .  Dat Sim Earth will still stay wrapped up for a little longer..

[Sarumaru]

I got to go back to Japan very recently and these were some of my PCE pick ups.

[Bernie]

Thanks to Professor, I now have Cadash, Splatterhouse, Nectaris, and Vasteel for the PCE.  Thanks man!!!  No pictures, use your damn imagination.....

Got Rainbow Islands and Fray Xak Gaiden in the mail today. Lost at least 2 and a half hours to Rainbow Islands, the game is so frustrating for me but I can't stop playing it. Fray is OK, I think with this one I liked the look and idea of it more than anything though. Even if the game was in English everything would still seem way too drawn out; I've only gotten to the second boss and I almost feel like I've spent more time sitting through dialog and scrolling through text than I have actually playing anything.

[EmperorIng]

The dialog in Fray can be a little drawn out, and I wish I could skip it. It's not Right Stuff-level of complete and total incessant droning; we can all be thankful for that. I found the action stages to be enjoyable, though overall the game is (pleasantly) easy. You're more in it for the fun and colorful ride; luckily the game gets better as it goes on (it really picks up, in my opinion, by the time you start crossing the ocean floor).

Rainbow Islands is indeed fun, though I get murdered by the third world or so.

[gheebee]

Yep, the fun graphics and similar gameplay to Valkyrie no Densetsu were what made Fray hard to resist for me, I'll stick with it and look forward to more action later in the game.

There is a certain section in Fray that I found so frustrating that I just put the disc away in a drawer away from sunlight... Maybe I am just crap at it but there is a level where a sage splits the lake apart and you get bumped into the bottom of the sea..  A section where you have to jump on falling logs.. That is really pissing me off..

[NecroPhile]

Definitely, digi.  That spot is annoying as hell, watching poor little Fray fall to her doom over an over again.

Eh, you're doing better than me; I haven't even beaten the second boss yet! Like most I get frustrated when I have to do parts of a game over and over again but this one makes it worse because even though you continue on the boss you still have to go through some of the dialog and/or text before you can fight again.

[MNKyDeth]

Well, I didn't get all of this in one day but this is basically my xmas present to myself over the past month or two.

SuperGrafx unit that was sold as junk. Fully restored and working. I even found an original SuperGrafx power supply for it.
The Super CD-Rom 2 unit was locked away in a box for some collectard. So I decided to liberate it. I recapped it and RGB modded it. Works great with the SuperGrafx.
LAst but not least I bought myself a Memory Base 128 after reading the Hero thread from Nulltard. This was brand new in the box and well, I opened it and now use it full time for backing up saves.






Cosmic Fantasy, Cosmic Fantasy 3, Cosmic Fantasy 4ch1, Cosmic Fantasy 4ch2
Y's 4: The Dawn of Y's, Popful Mail, The Legend of Xanadu, The Legend of Xanadu 2
Emerald Dragon, Wizardry 1&2, Wizardry 2&3, Wizardry 5
I really enjoyed Cosmic Fantasy 2 US version so I wanted the rest of the series. Y's 4 and the Xanadu games have translations or are being translated so I wanted those to make patching an original much simpler instead of trying from a .bin .cue from online.
Emerald Dragon and Popful Mail are memory base 128 compatible and I read good things about both so.... Wizardry 1-5 was something I found interest in after the game of the week. I found a full set from one buyer and jumped on it.



All of the repro's from Bernie and crew.
All of the SuperGrafx games original and enhanced by the SuperGrafx. <-- This was the collectard showing in me. But, Darius Plus, Battle Ace and Madō King Granzort were brand new and sealed. Once again I liberated them and they are now ready to be played once I get to them.
Last but not least the Arcade Duo card. I plan on grabbing two 6 button controllers at some point with more Arcade card games down the road.

[Bardoly]

Looks like a nice Christmas to me, MNKyDeth!

[gheebee]

Got Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury Special the other day but my arcade card still hasn't shown up! :/

[Samuray]

I got "Devil Crash" yesterday.
For free. o_O

There was some guy a bought a bunch of games from and he discovered he had a second copy of DC, next to the one he wanted to sell. And since he knew I was looking for one to fill the gap between my "Alien Crush" and "Jaki Crush", he gave it to me totally out of the blue! Very happy about that.

EDIT: It seems to be very awesome, by the way. Just played for 15 minutes or so so far but wow....visuals and music sure are nice.

I think there's a reason that Rastan II and Rock On are sealed. 

[Vimtoman]

Ha Ha

But Puzzle Boy is nice and open, hell yeah!  Love that game.  Dat music.

My Arcade Card Duo finally showed up today! :]

[johnnykonami]

My Arcade Card Duo finally showed up today! :]

What game are you gonna christen it with?

[gheebee]

What game are you gonna christen it with?

I tried it out with Fatal Fury 2, then Fatal Fury Special, and then Art of Fighting. Sadly, I don't really find myself a fan any of these games because they're too hard for me; I'll stick with it though.

[johnnykonami]

I can play using Terry and Ryo in these games and that's pretty much it.  I played a lot of KOF 95 on the Saturn and Match of the Millennium on NGPC, but all of the other titles I've only played a little bit of.  So I feel ya on not being great at fighting games, but even still every now and then I like to pick one up.   For me, I get bored long before the point you'd need to play to get really good at one.  Kabuki Ittoryoudan seems like a pretty good PCE exclusive if you like fighting games, I'd like to get that one myself to complete my PCE Tengai Makyou collection.

Yeah, Kabuki Ittoryoudan is a pretty decent fighting game.  I played it just recently with a friend.

[geise]

Kabuki is probably my main reason to have an arcade card duo besides Sapphire.  The arcade card ports of the neo fighters are the best you're going to get next to an actual neo-geo.  It's also nice to have for certain hybrid games when watching cut scenes.

[johnnykonami]

Yeah, and it's not as hard to get as Sapphire, to boot.
