Devil's Crush is a much Page 1 of 15 ---- Generated from Megalextoria sought-after game, so I suppose there are more people who want one than there are copies of the game to go around. So I suppose the price is higher for DC than for say, Time Cruise, which had a smaller release. The same goes for Military Madness, it commands a decent price still, even though there were tons made, because it is the best in it's genre of games. You were lucky to see tons of Dynastic Hero's at TRU, because few TRU's sold the Super CD games, none in my area, and I looked everywhere. Not even the Babbages or EB's were still carrying Turbo games when Dynastic Hero came out, in my area that is. I made it a point to go and buy every TTi game that came out in my area the day they were released, to try to keep my local EB carrying Duo games, unfortuneately it didn't work long enough for me to get Dynastic Hero :) Later gamers -Scott ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From: [email protected] Date: Tue Jul 27 03:17:40 EDT 1999 Subject: Re: PC Engine's are TINY!

Who knows, at that point in time they may have been right to do so?

Page 2 of 15 ---- Generated from Megalextoria This was my first guess too. Then again, maybe they just thought, hmm, american = Big + Dumb and just came up with the design for the Turbo / Turbo CD. J/K, I still love the Turbo CD even if it's a behemoth.

He's a good guy as far as he will send the product as wanted. I just feel that the fact he goes on ebay and claims everything to be rare and usually has high reserves($60-$100) is kinda proposterous. We have a running thing on the 3do newsgroup about that, but that's another thing...he will get the product to ya, his prices are just too much for my liking. -=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-==--=-=-=- Michael Durr aka Kedrix of Aldrianian(*The Forgotten One*) [email protected] members.spree.com/kedrix/ www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Dungeon/4469 -=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From: [email protected] Date: Tue Jul 27 10:31:20 EDT 1999 Subject: Adol I have bought things from him in the past and he is reliable. I have to say that his prices are on the high side but to UK gamers, it is as low as it gets. In the UK the prices of most PC Engine games are in the 55-60 pounds range US$96. Adol's reserve on some so called rare items are normally at $49.99 but those much lower can be got in Japan for next to nothing. I remember buying a few PCE CD games in Fukuoka one time for US$0.80 each!!! Page 4 of 15 ---- Generated from Megalextoria Some were more at 1700 yen and even one at 3000 yen. But I tend to think that Adol is getting his games in Japan and selling them making a profit, and a quite high one too. Still he is reliable and as long as you're prepared to pay the money he asks, he will get you the goods. It's a matter of convenience money paid if you have no other ways of getting these games. I still sometimes buy off him on ebay.

The PCE's insides are nice and compact, but the TG is all spread out. The right-hand side of the system is mostly void of components and really just contains the Hucard slot and the controller port. I'd assume that NEC thought Americans wanted a larger, more powerful looking system or something. It's interesting, though - the empty half of the TG-16 has several empty pads for chips that aren't occupied. Maybe NEC was trying to do a Supergrafx-like machine, but scrapped it.
