The Turbo Stick is excellent for Dungeon Explorer!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine featured in the Hi-Score Girl anime!]

Yeah, I don't want this site to go down the crapper for potential illegal transfers.

If you do manage to watch it, however, it'll satisfy your nostalgia in a clever way. Rensuke Oshikiri, the original author of the manga, was an avid gamer back in his day and his character of Haruo Yaguchi, is in some aspects, a reflection of what he personally experienced as a gamer.

Do you want the torrent link?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PC Engine featured in the Hi-Score Girl anime!]

Hey all!

Just thought I'd pop in for the first time in a while to let you know about a new anime that premiered in Japan this past week called Hi-Score Girl. The anime is about a kid named Haruo Yaguchi who is obsessed with arcade and console games but happens to develop a relationship with a mute girl named Akira Ono who happens to share his obsession.

It's a cute series for those of you who happened to watch it and the recent episode covered Haruo's obsession with the PC-Engine.

Games featured were The Kung Fu/China Warrior, R-Type, Bonk's Adventure/PC Genjin, Altered Beast, Darius Plus, and Splatterhouse!

The episode also talked about the affordability of Hu-Card games in Japan at the time as well as the sheer luxury of owning a PC-Engine GT! LOL!

Unfortunately, I won't put up the episode as I don't know whether it is permitted under PCENGINEFX's terms but here is a blog site that has screen grabs from the episode and more info:

[Fighting Street / Re: Joe Redifer never beat Sonic the Hedgehog]

bump for the scum who created this thread!!! what a waste of skin you are!!

Stop. Go to Lame Trash Talk thread.

[Fighting Street / Re: frozenintears is a giant bitch and...]

Or the guy who eats at the same hobble diner every week without paying.

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

I'd like to see you make me, you bug-eyed, robotic piece of slag with a pitchfork.

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

I agree with Psycho Arkhan. Back on topic, people!

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

I'm gonna clean your clock!

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

BEAT THAT MEAT!

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

Your mom's mom!

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

You can't keep count!

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

I'm gonna turn your frown upside down!

[Off-Topic / Re: The lame trash talk thread!]

I'll stuff you like a Thanksgiving turkey!

[Fighting Street / Re: Look at this Fucking Idiot]

For a brief moment, I mistook the guy's name as Professor Pac-Man.

[Off-Topic / The lame trash talk thread!]

Post your lamest attempts at being tough right here! Don't hold back!

[Fighting Street / Re: Food for thought, Mercy Corps]

What...the...hell?

[General Gaming / Re: A factory sealed SNES going for a high value in UK Ebay auction...]

ROLF, I can't imagine spending $20 on such a piece of shit.  SNES is trash as it is, but PAL SNES?  ROLF ROLF ROLF.

Hey now, the SNES actually had good games on it, especially RPGs.

But that auction price? Yeah...I doubt it'll get bids.

[General Gaming / Re: what non turbo game are you playing?]

Ha ha! In before lock!

[Off-Topic / Re: This thread needs all the cawbells!!!]

Okay, I'm now addicted to cowbells. Somebody stop me before I raid the nearest barn.

[Off-Topic / Re: Where are they now? (Cook's Quest for M.I.A. Members)]

Man, I've been gone from these forums for MONTHS and you guys never asked where I was? I feel so crushed.

Anyhoo, real life has been taking over as I've been focusing on my job as well as doing workouts at the YMCA. I'm also driving around more often than usual.

[Fighting Street / Re: Cotton is my now my b1tch!!]

Played some Cotton and man am I out of this game. Serves me right for being PCE-CD deprived for months.

[Off-Topic / Re: Turbo Express Carry Case Project]

And now you know, Hoobs.

[Off-Topic / Re: Have you ever?]

Even the name, "McKroket" makes me want to hurl.

[Off-Topic / Re: Rusty Quarters - new retro arcade in Minneapolis]

I wish Rusty Quarters all the best of luck in their endeavor. Arcade centers are notorious when it comes to low revenues and frequent vandalism. It would be sheer luck for them to even be in business longer than a year. If Rusty can hold out, I'll be pleased.

[Off-Topic / Re: Ridley Scott will direct Alien prequel]

Ridleyculous.

At least it ain't RiDQlous.

Indeed it does! I had not realized that before.

Yup yup! The part about an alien spaceship being buried in a field was what grabbed me!

[Fighting Street / Re: lol advertisements]

A flasher wants to fuck an Xbox 360?

[Off-Topic / Re: Ridley Scott will direct Alien prequel]

When a virus decimates the non-native pig/boar population (introduced by the settler-farmers), Newt's great-great-grandmother is driven to near-suicide (her beloved pig "Quahog" being the only means of harvesting truffles). It is in a moment of desperation, however, that she discovers an enormous spacecraft buried under a substantial truffle patch near the sorghum fields. In Ridley's own words, she is "torn between the immediate crises facing her family (sorghum vs. cassava, utter collapse of truffle production) and the allure of an alien ship undisturbed for millennia beneath fallow fields."

Sounds like The Tommyknockers to me.

[General Gaming / Re: I think my ps3 just broke]

I wonder if anyone here took a baseball bat to their NES to see how durable it is?

[General Gaming / Re: parodius finally comes to the states.. well sorta]

I'll keep my eyes out for it! Thanks, TR0N!

[General Gaming / Re: Has anybody ever had problems with Japan Game Stock?]

Dude, Pepsi Man rules! I still love playing the PS1 import on it from time to time!

I really want his theme song as my ringtone!

[General Gaming / Re: what non turbo game are you playing?]

Arcade Final Fight with my arcade stick that I bought for Christmas! Pure sex!

[Off-Topic / Re: Have you ever?]

I wonder if real Dutch ovens smell that bad?

[Off-Topic / Re: Ridley Scott will direct Alien prequel]

Hopefully Ridley can still work his magic. My biggest concerns regarding any prequel are that they are potential plothole bait. I like Alien as much as the next guy but I don't want to have to see fanboys lunging at Ridley's throat just because one set of events in one movie don't coincide with another set of events in another.

[Off-Topic / Re: need a quick mustashe for Movember?...]

A lumberjack beard?

[Fighting Street / Re: Merry Xmas F-ebay crew... a gift for you!!]

* goes to clean up the pants region *

Just remember to use Tide.

[Off-Topic / Re: need a quick mustashe for Movember?...]

So, who participated in Movember?

[Off-Topic / Re: Have you ever?]

And to think I just had a Dutch breakfast.

[General Gaming / Re: what non turbo game are you playing?]

Still gotta play Bloodlines! I can't believe I never played it!

[General Gaming / Re: parodius finally comes to the states.. well sorta]

PSP has one and it's region free.

Which online stores have it?

[General Gaming / Re: I think my ps3 just broke]

I'm still not a fan of the PS3 though, aside from Little Big Planet. Now THAT is an awesome game!

[Off-Topic / Re: Have you ever?]

Okay, but you wouid still have to FEEL something, unless of course you suffer from loose-butt.  (Which there is nothing wrong with that, if that's how you roll...)

Just as long as it doesn't leave a big brown stain on the bedsheets...

[General Gaming / Re: I think my ps3 just broke]

Sorry to get off topic, but it makes you think about how well-built the old game consoles are when you can play games on a 20+ year old system and it still works like a charm while newer systems seem to kick to bucket after only a couple years.

This!

And this is also why I won't pay a dime for a 360, PS3 or any other system that will come out in the future. I'm a classic gamer and damn proud of it!

[General Gaming / Re: parodius finally comes to the states.. well sorta]

I still want an official R1 Parodius collection here though.

[General Gaming / Re: Were Hori sticks from before the PS2 any good?]

Don't our fellow members here do mod work for arcade sticks?

[General Gaming / Re: Has anybody ever had problems with Japan Game Stock?]

Has your dad tried getting in touch with JGS lately? If so, have they responded?

[General Gaming / Re: what non turbo game are you playing?]

Playing uncensored Final Fantasy I and the Aeon Genesis fan translation of Rockman 2.

Also playing King's Quest I: Quest for the Throne.

[General Gaming / Re: Comanche: Maximum Overkill PC]

Has anyone played the game with a flight stick?

so was Jezzball, and Chips Challenge

God, to play Chip's Challenge again! That game was the bomb!

[General Gaming / Re: SNES forum]

The SNES was definitely a great system! It had an incredible library of games! I've always enjoyed playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Street Fighter II: Turbo on it!
