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

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.

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.

I truly have a special place in my heart for the Turbo/PCEngine systems and games. Of all the 16 bit systems, the Turbo had the best games, especially on CD. The CD games are actually good, compared to the Sega CD where developers seemed to think "Interactive FMV" was the best kind of cd gaming experience.....Although the Lunar series is incredible but I've got that on Playstation so I don't need a Sega CD :). Lets face it though....we're all a bunch of PC Engine freaks on this list! :) I'm so much of a PC Engine freak that I am trying to save up for a PC Engine LT so I can play PC Engine cd games anywhere I go. That or I can wait till Magic Engine 1.0 comes out and install it on my laptop :). Although I think the PC Engine LT would be cooler just to own one.

Ciao,

Eric

Just to throw my 2cents in the discussion. Price tags also differ from country to country. On the turbo-list you won't see such a big difference but I come from Germany and must say that some games are priced higher here compared to the US. For example here in Germany Time Cruise II have nearly such a high price tag as DC. Or the FEOE-series has a much higher price than in the US. But the same goes vice versa as for example if you can find a copy of DraculaX here, you can get it for about $40-$50. I fully agree with Neofan1's statement that much-sought-after

Page 8 of 15 ---- Generated from Megalextoria games have a high price just because they are good and no one who ever possesses one of them ever sells them. By the way, I also won't ever sell my games, I love them!

I am collecting PC-Engine games for at least 7 years and just once I sold some of them in order to get money for a new Macintosh. But now I regret it, because I am a collector and have much fun collecting and playing those games for my lovely PCE. The last time I freaked out because of a new game to get ahold of was when I received my copy of Dead of the Brain 1&2 and PuyoPuyo2. But there are still many games out there to get for me, (like Sapphire,Spacecruiser Yamato,Macross ELS and on and on), so I hope to have at least 7 more years of fun by collecting PCE-games.

Okay, that's enough for now. At least I want to thank Ninon Marquis for trading his copy of PuyoPuyo2. It was the first time I traded a game and I must say that everything went great. Ninon Marquis is a honest trader and I recommend him.

I have seen and played the PCEngine 64 and it is pretty impresive. The problem(s) with the emu are that it supports no music, and it only plays one game (Galaga '88). Presence of Mind (POM) is a Nintendo 64 coding competition put on by Dextrose.

As for being possible to code something on PSX? Not with sound/music. I've

Interestingly, a PC-Engine friend of mine from Japan called the Turbo "baka na kodomo". This, regarding the packaging of the Turbo, and certain marketing decisions which led to its ultimate demise.

The direct translation of the phrase is something close to "mentally-retarded kid" (but probably not in a hostile or mean-spirited way), possibly related to the English phrase "bastard child".

The implication is that he regards the Turbo the same as a mother would regard such a child; "Although it is not perfect, I still love it".

Page 12 of 15 ---- Generated from Megalextoria Hmmm. I have a flyer for a Emu-Wizard Pro for the PSX. It's another Game-Shark-like device that plugs in the rear PSX port, but instead of being a code device/game converter, it's actually a Game Boy, Gamegear, Master System and PC Engine emulator. There's no place for hu's obviously, but it's supposed to be able to read hu roms through on CD, although I'm not sure if it can run actual PC Engine CD's or not. Of course, piracy is an issue here, but with all the talk of a PC Engine emulator for the PSX, I just thought I'd mention it.
