Yeah, that's what I said, Nintega. Did you have a point ? Also, when does your ignoring me kick-in, since you've now stated that the self-deletion of your account won't kick-in ?? Are you even capable of remembering much of anything that you say ? Heh. God, you're pathetic!

Thanks to everyone who came to see us and spend time talking turbo and/or 3-d printing :)
Like Arkhan said, cards go to the protocard buyers first - without them, there would be no abcards.
Now that we know roughly what percentage to make pce and tgx, we can get started on a general release. Until then, we hope to see what people think of them :)

Dude it is cool.  The fact that new games are being released for not only NEC hardware but, all old consoles in general is so sweet.  This could have been the worst game ever created and I still would have bought it, just for the admiration I have for the people putting the blood, sweat and tears into stuff like this.

As it turns out, this game is also very good.  The controls are great the music is great.  It's like a 16 bit era shooter mated with an older game like Missile Command.  It is thoroughly kicking my ass so I'll have more news to report when I get through it a bit more.  Also, the fact that it saves the high scores if you have ram backup on your hardware setup is a nice touch.

Tommy please leave, and/or please stop being a shit disturber.

Picked up a loose Dungeon Explorer from Arkhan at the CCAG and also nabbed a complete (with spine card) copy of Emerald Dragon from another vendor.

Also got to appreciate all the great changes in Atlantean from 2 years ago when it didn't actually have hit detection or AI or anything. Also, game is damn hard (and I suck at Defender, so of course I think it's damn hard).

That's noble enough. There's no offense meant here, it just looks like a game I would not care to play. I'm not gonna act like a blind fan boy as apparently Tommy/Nintega thinks that I should. What would get my interest would be something like say a SSS/Raiden-type shooter and what not. And I'd wanna see purty graphics too, maxed out capabilities of the system! ;)

Yeah, that's the thing, I've been trying to get him to stand by his stated intentions of leaving, but he reneged (to nobody's surprise); seems we'll be stuck with the manic loon for the foreseeable future, and if he really is Nintega, well, we've been stuck with his psycho love/hate obsession with PCEFX for YEARS!

Awesome work!  I didn't get a chance to meet you but I talked with Arkhan for a minute.  I had no idea you guys were in Ohio, that's awesome.  I'm in Toledo and Turbo stuff is non-existant around here.  I only ever see it when I go to the east side of the state.

Makes me think of the "toy hunter" Star wars forum feasco.

For those not aware toy hunter is a show where a semi anoying guy buys up vintage toys as a reseller and flips them (soon I foresee a video game version as we even have a comic book versn of this show) pawn stars spin offs HO!!!..

Well this guy got a hold f two mint on card 12 pack original Starwars figures which he got graded and sold for a tidy profit.

Well between the grading and selling he asked a fan or friend to go n various forums that are fan run for collectors of Starwars stuff and get a pulse on pricing. 

Well it ending in a tommy eque failover with ratings from a underage girl or so everyone thought who the host of toy hater was trying to help and or groom to become a toy reseller as a payed intern. 


Well it turns out the girl wasn't a girl.  But a long time star wars troll forum user who was a middle aged guy with possible mental health issues portraying himself as a young girl and spent years trolling the host f the show BEFORE he even got the show but was a simple reseller at conventions through the computer who pretended to be a girl and gained his trust. 

So yeah.  ..... Tommy feels liks a similar entity all together.

Well, it's only taken me more than 2 decades but I finally got my CD attachment. Just picked it up today

That's great!  What are the first games you plan to get after waiting for so long to find the CD system?  You will be able to play anything with the 3.0 card, great planning.

Yes I feel very fortunate that I was able to buy this from a game store that had two of these things sitting around and to NightWolve yes it's modded, looks amazing on my CRT. But there are a few glitches that occur when playing games and not sure what causes it. I will have to look into at some point.

I bought Prince of Persia and Shadow of the Beast years ago and played them on my PC so now I can play them properly. But, what I really would like is Dracula X (sorry don't know the proper name for it). The same game store has it, but asking almost $200 for it.

New games for July-August:
IMG

Initial impressions:

Mysterious Song - Wow, what a great game to start into the TG homebrew scene.  The writing is witty, the music is great and it's a fun 16-bit RPG!  I have been playing this one concurrently with Ys: I & II.

Chew-Man-Fu - a cute, well made puzzler, I have gotten ten levels in and I like what I've seen so far.  The graphics are large, well animated, detailed and colorful.

Psychosis - I like the wacky shooter Naxat made here.  I have heard (through Turbo Views) that the game is a little short, but it is punishing me harder than Deep Blue.  It is surreal, but I think that was the point.

Pac-Land - It is often referenced by game developers as the key early platformer, pre-Mario.  I thought I would hate it, but I do not now that I have gotten the chance to play it.  It deserves more respect than it has gotten.

JJ & Jeff - What..what what...did Sega rip off Sonic's jump sound fx from this game???  It certainly seems like it.  It's an enjoyable romp that reminds me of the first Wonderboy/Adventure Island.  There is enough of the unedited original here to see what the devs were going for.  An essential TG16 purchase!
THANKS TO ALL PCEFX members who have helped fix my hardware and add to my games library!  What a thrill!

I've not yet taken the plunge to purchase any of the homebrew stuff... I am planning on doing so, but I've spent quite a bit this week.

I picked up an Everdrive, CIB Bomberman and World Class Baseball, and Complete Space Harrier- King of Casino - Jack Nicklaus Golf.

Quote from: guest on 08/13/2014, 06:12 AMHail-  oh I think you know what it is. It actually wasn't purchased this month. It was a freebie thrown in (or, rather, dropped in) with a magazine lot last year by some generous guy on ebay. I believe the seller name was AvidBathroomReader420.  The subject came up in my CHAT and was good for some lulz so I included it here because rum.
That is very "Eww." Mister Nullllll. Should've sent it back to him in a very large box, because funny. :3

I was so happy when I found my Neutopia II after a long search, it is also loose.  I hope someday members here will reproduce HuCard bottom cases and the front manual cover of these late cardboard released games.  I think those products would make a lot of us really happy because there are so many loose copies, and often loosies are all that is available for a reasonable amount of money.  Hey, on the bright side, we have reproduced sleeves to put them in, that's a great start :)

Thanks NecroPhile, but I am still way short of the post count cutoff.  I'll get there though, eventually.   When I'm ready I'll be getting a full set of US HuCard labels and whatever manual reproductions are available from Mr. Sparky.  The quality looks so very nice.  The Gate of Thunder reproduction is on my radar.

Picked this up for $40 CDN, plus $5 shipping from fellow Canadian

Fantasy Zone w/ manual, case (missing hu sleeve)
Gate of Thunder loose
Chew-Man-Fu w/ manual (missing case, hu sleeve)
Boxyboy  w/ manual (missing case, hu sleeve)
Galaga '90 w/ poor condition manual (missing case, hu sleeve)
Cyber-Core loose

* I have never bought games that showed up this filthy. And not sure what is causing the pages of Galaga '90 to stick together .. but might be looking for a nicer version of that manual. I always clean all games before putting them in my console. But these were nasty. Some people need to learn to wash their damn hands.  Eww. At first I felt bad about only paying $40, but not now.

I usually only grab games when complete in jewel case .. but seemed like a good price since I wanted Gate of Thunder pretty bad .. and I can always pickup labels from (I think it's Sparky), and hit up The Cover Project for now.

Congrats, Elderbroom!  That's all win in my book.

I've picked up some Genesis, SNES and NES carts from thrift shops in the past that have been OMG filty and just wonder how someone can treat their stuff that poorly.  Luckily, it's not as common among obeyers.  Most of us know better. ;)

Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

I sourced locally. I had an ad up for almost a year looking for tg16 games. Every once in a while I get a bite. I was just contacted out of the blue by a guy who had 9 or so games. One of them being BSG. Got really lucky. I never imagined I would find it locally. I live in a mid sized Canadian city. The chances were not good.

Upload it to http://tinypic.com/ and use the resize option to 640x480 for message board compatibility.  Works pretty well, and eliminates huge pics with scroll bars.
