Unless that badass Zaxxon LCD game has a huge joystick extention to mount on the "d-pad", the buttons and d-pad are placed the wrong way round.

But a nice hauly

Meh, it controls just fine. Even has 2 screens stacked to give two "sprite planes", it actually works quite well.
Nice sense of depth considering it's age. Not a bad attempt to port the arcade. Much better then most of the LCD
crap you find for 100yen

I want that Alisia Dragon looks yummy

I was digging through the thread and saw this. I pre-ordered mine in August 2009 and it shipped yesterday from Amazon. What a pain.

Tell me more about this poster. Is this homemade? It looks fantastic.

dingsbums · 02/19/2011, 12:39 PM

The three PCE Games are from Thibaut

.
The poster is made from my scanned manual (only 600 dpi - I don't have a better scanner

but it looks really good

). I went with an online printshop since in our little town are no print shops

. It's B1 format (70 cm x 100cm) on high glossy paper.

Joe Redifer · 02/20/2011, 05:31 AM

Thems are some nice games!

Tatsujin · 02/20/2011, 06:55 AM

Yeah, and not the cheapest as well.

PunkCryborg · 02/20/2011, 01:39 PM

Aww man I love Battle Mania. That is a prime example of how Americans ruined some awesome cover art with "Trouble Shooter"

TheClash603 · 02/20/2011, 01:49 PM

I just ordered two of the manliest PC-Engine games, Double Dragon II and Ai Cho Aniki. Even though I am primarily a TG16 guy, I am excited to add these games to my list of 20 or so PC-E games. Double Dragon II on NES is one of my favorite games on the system, and the PCE appears to have the definitive version.

...however, I also thought I was getting the best version of a game when I ordered PC-E Ninja Gaiden, and that was not as good as the NES.

No way! The PCE version of Ninja Gaiden blows away the NES version!

Agreed. Except for the music. The NES versions tunes are way better!

The music is exactly what killed the PCE game for me. Also, the backgrounds were updated, but they were just distracting and sloppy, and took away from the fluidity of the game.

Very nice. I figured the poster was homemade--you inspired me to make one of my own

Send me Sylphia, OK?

Last I checked, its YOUR core grafx now

So you can do whatever you please with it. Although folks around here would probably prefer you play it! Which it looks like you're doing just that!

grahf · 02/22/2011, 08:50 PM

I picked up a copy of Dracula X yesterday for ￥3880 (a little over $40, I guess). Disk and case is mint,but the manual has a little wrinkle. I can live with that

Arkhan Asylum · 02/22/2011, 09:36 PM

I got YS I/II for PSP, and am too lazy to photograph it.

also, Radiata Historia.

and hyperdimension neptunafish a few days ago

Got some goodies in this week.

Round 1 (all bought from people on here!) A good working TG/CD setup

and a non-working US Duo

/systemssystems.jpg

Round 2: Now I didn't pay for ANY of this. This was sent to me out of kindness alone from a very cool dude on here! Awesome stuff all of it! (not sure what to think about the lesbian vampire killers..

)

Mathius · 02/24/2011, 10:39 PM

Wow! That sure is a purdy Duo there Beemer. Sure is.

Not what you'd think

Just a compilation CDr with a custom made label it looks like. Still cool!

Yeah, I'm so freakin jealous. I'm on the haunt for a turbogarfx cd, coregrafx and possibly a duo-r myself.

Sparky · 02/25/2011, 01:39 PM

Looks like the mail man has come to us all

in the mail today from a swell guy on this forum... 2 wavebird controllers and Animal Crossing!! (we still have to talk about payment there beamer)

The rest from a local guy i know.

chany60126 · 02/25/2011, 04:04 PM

I got two T-16 controllers that are rarely mentioned around here. The one on the left is the Acemore Superstick and the one on the right is the Beeshu Ultimate Joystick. Gotta love the life saving slow function on the beeshu stick (It says so on the box).

chany60126 · 02/25/2011, 04:09 PM

I also got a CIBler New Adventure Island and a Neo Geo Pocket Shock N Rock. It's a neat accesory that gives the NGPC a rumble feature, and it also acts as a portable battery and has external speakers.

DragonmasterDan · 02/27/2011, 08:03 PM

I haven't put one up in a while so here's my weekend haul.

Opethian · 02/27/2011, 09:31 PM

el viento fuck yea! this is what I ammassed over the week:

NecroPhile · 02/27/2011, 09:32 PM

Chany: what's up with that banded New Adventure Island box? Is that strips of cellophane tape?
