Hello all,

If you had any suggestions or things you would like to see added to pcengine-fx.com, please feel free to post them here.

Well, I think a chatroom might be nice for a while, just to see if it catches on with the site's visitors. Even a simple JAVA chatroom would be cool. Nothing fancy, just a nice basic way to chat with other users.

Thanks for the suggestion!  That is a good idea...and I've been thinking about that too....we will see.

Developer Kit tutorials. Lots and lots of them.
Title: re what do you want
Post by: nec man on 01/05/2002, 06:50 PM
Well you have lots of pictures info and reviews and the nec legacy has long ago died so I dont think there is too much more you can do. Most of your updates consist of pc-fx users list and even though it is interesting to see how many people still care about the pc-fx it won't bring in any new visitors. I personally like the reviews best since I visit them alot when I am buying games that are japanese so I can find out if you can play them without japanese knowledge. Actually the one thing that would be good is a list of good pc-engine emulators. I tried magic engine but it did not seem too good. Well that's what I want. Hope that helps you.

I feel the need here to defend Magic Engine. It plays nearly every Turbo/PC Engine/SuperGrafx game made with very few problems. It is also still being updated on a regular basis.

As far as site suggestions, I'm glad to see more PC FX reviews but would like to see some more faqs/walkthroughs/hints too. Maybe someone could translate some PC FX manuals too ? Yeah, I know it's a lot to ask! :)

The hard work put into this site is appreciated! Keep up the good work!

Well, I can't please everyone with my updates :)  Though most of my updates are of the FX users list, what you don't know is that I'm always working on new features or specials for the site as well...and those don't come around on every update.  I'm also constantly working on other sections as well (like the TurboStation 16 site re-make).  As for the FX site, if you have reviews you want to submit, please do so.

Could you change the shade of gray used on the front page just slightly? it looks like a strobe light w/ my res. and color depth. I have to close my eyes and blindly click for 'enter'. Sorry if that sounds too harsh! Its the best turbo site I have seen :-)

Love the site. One of the best around, especially for the Duo.

Possible suggestions:

Where are they now? A section reviewing the recent software of PC Engine/PC-FX developers like Falcom, Hudson, NEC, Konami, etc.

I don't see what you could do about it, but I wish more people would post in the forums.

I LOVE all the video content. The more the better.

Have you considered a section fo TG16/PC Engine reviews from forum contributers?  I know that there are times when I am looking for opinions or to share mine.  There really isn't a good place to do this online, one that is consistently updated or has enough contributers, except this site.  This is by far the best site on the net for nec info and being able to provide or recieve feedback about games on all nec consoles would be awesome-

Try www.pcecp.com, sometimes you have some luck and the game you're looking for is reviewed, but most of the time in very briefly manner.

If we take Nutribrain's idea to the next level: we should start posting reviews, or mini-reviews, or even explanations / descriptions of games at www.pcecp.com

1. we could start a thread here (pcenginefx) and keep an updated list of the titles we have contributed reviews/comments for.

2. we can scour our own history of posts here (pcenginefx) and recycle the "mini-reviews" we've already written here when we post info on games or make recommendations.

3. we can encourage folks to contribute stuff at www.pcecp.com.

I suggested this in the past, but I never followed up on it.  If we made a concerted effort here and at magicengine.com forums (possibly other places)... we might get a handful of folks to make regular contributions to pcecp.com

i think this would be awesome.

Post by: Keranu on 08/20/2005, 03:04 AM
I like that idea and since I have been writing a lot of material for my site (including full and mini-reviews), I'll have some good stuff to use already. I think I have submitted a review or two to PCEP before in the past...
Title: What would you like to see on pcengine-fx.com?
Post by: esteban on 08/20/2005, 03:33 AM
all right... so let's start a thread and then we can update it as we add more and more mini-reviews. we can even help each other by posting our mini-reviews here first, then getting feedback. This is totally optional, of course...

Post by: Keranu on 08/20/2005, 04:48 AM
J.J. and Jeff - A wonderful yet wacky platform game! Choose between J.J. or Jeff and fight your way through fun, challenging levels while the opposite character taunts you through. Very fun and very hilarious!

King of Casino - Certainly not a very exciting game, but for myself, I found this game unbelievably relaxing and soothing, due to the well mannered atmosphere of pleasent art and charming music. The game itself isn't bad at all too if you're into casino games and it has a cool plot.

Time Ball - A unique game and can provide some solid entertainment at first, but it's clearly not a game for everyone and can get boring after the first time it's played. It kind of plays like the classic Brickout game, except there are bricks on all corners and it even has some maze elements. It's original, but don't play Time Ball if you're looking for lots of action.

It Came From the Desert - Cool for it's time, but being an old FMV game, it hasn't aged very well. While most people dump this game, I find it quite creative. The gameplay is not very much, but it's decent and the cheesy FMV sequences are a treat for people like me. This game is actually pretty frightening at times, too.

The Addam's Family - The concept of this game is actually pretty fun, but the way the game came out wasn't so great. The graphics are not eye candy for sure and the gameplay isn't the most comfortable. However the boss fights are REALLY cool sometimes. The concept and boss fights make this game worth playing, for me at least.

Terraforming - Presentation wise, this game is a treat. The graphics are colorful, nicely detailed backgrounds with a good amount of parallax, and tons of sprites on screen at once with little slow down. The music is pretty rad as well. The gameplay isn't very complex or varied, but simple and linear, which can be cool in my books. Hardcore shooter fans might not appreciate this game though.

Of course I reviewed a few HuCard and CD games that get dumped on, so I had to defend them as usual ;) .

I'd like to see the number of forum subcatagories reduced. Having PC Engine, and TG-16 is seperate catagories doesn't seem that smooth since...well, they're the same thing.

I suppose it would be different if both forums were just overflowing with posts, but that's not the case, and I don't think there are many TG-16 owners that don't import. We're all the same crowd.

Anyway, I've loved the site for years. Keep it up.

Oh, one more complaint, wmv. format. Its a pain. Xvid, or MP4 would be nicer, especially for non-Windows users.

I posted a thread earlier stating I would like to see more turbo stuff preserved and saved here so we can have it all on one website. Manuals, game scans, game pics, turbo magazines in pdf and whatever else can be saved before it is lost. I believe a website so dedicated to the NEC consoles should probebly focus mainly on preserving what we can still find of the turbo games for future generations to enjoy. And like I stated before, I have about 55 manuals in pdf that I would like to share but need some help cause I am not the smartest when it comes to sending files larger then what can be sent in email. I also have a dungieon explorer II faq on game faqs that I would be more then happy to share here. I am also working on a Dynastic hero, and magical chase FAQ.

I actually have a good idea.
Since there are some who despise the growing number of polls on the forum-
perhaps a place can be made just to put the polls in- so if people do want them- they know where to find them- and if people don't want them they won't feel bombarded with them.

This is coming from one who has gone poll crazy himself.

Well, I am a member of a lot of other forums, and none of them stray like this one - it's almost out of control, and pretty much unvisitable (if that's a word) if you're gone for a week or more.  For the next little while I will only have sporadic internet access, and, well, this forum becomes VERY hard to read/browse.  Just trying to put another refresher in people's heads without pleading.  Some of you are thinking: "if it's so hard to read, don't come back".  It's something I'm currently considering.

I mostly stay in Chit-Chat and Console chat, leaving your "precious" Turbo threads the fuck alone. Maybe you should leave, if you can't take me posting in appropriate forums. However I need to warn you... OTHER FORUMS HAVE PEOPLE WHO POST THE RIGHT THINGS IN THE RIGHT SUBFORUMS AS WELL. 0_____0

Outside of the Chit-Chat area, I'm curious to know what threads you people are referring to as being so unbearably off-topic. All the currently active threads in the PCE & Turbo areas are on-topic. I'm having a difficult time finding anything off-topic at all, actually, much less whole handfuls of threads.

Post by: Mooney1to10 on 04/19/2010, 08:15 AM
I didn't know who to talk to about this so ill post this on here. Ive been thinking of this for a while and i think it would be a good part of the site if added.

So i was thinking this site should have a price guide to help new members and maybe some old members who don't know how to set there price when selling in the selling forums or maybe just to see the value of the private collection. I think since we sell on here we should at least have a good price guide. i would be willing to do some research to help make the guide because one man can't possibility create this guide by himself. the price guide would have to listed from lower end to higher end meaning lower end is just the Hu card or Cd and higher end meaning complete in mint condition. Plus the guide would also have to consist of turbografx 16 Hu, turbografx cd, pc engine Hu, and pc engine Cd games listed separately meaning U.S from Japanese.

thanks for reading if you see errors jest let them be if they don't interfere with understanding what im trying to say
Title: Re: What would you like to see on pcengine-fx.com?
Post by: TheClash603 on 04/19/2010, 12:37 PM
I believe we should do an official price guide, and the prices should be 1/3 of the going ebay rate.  Maybe someone will look at the guide, and I can get the last 5 games I need on the cheap.  I don't even care if that would devalue the 139 games I currently own.

Actually that guide was stopped because he left the site and doesn't post here anymore.  Those prices were pretty good at them time..  Hell most of them are still good...  Either way a price guide is pointless, people pay what they want and it flucuates daily..  You also mentioned taking a look a the price of eBay.  Generally on this forum eBay is pretty hated and noone here wants to use eBay as a guide.  Besiades, if you want to use eBay as a guide, just go check eBay then.

Mooney, I gave my two cents on the guide because the guy who posted it and I were talking on the phone and just started talking about the prices when he was making it.

As far as Windancer not being devoted?  I'm with nectarsis on the  :roll:

Gamegavel:  We all wish it would do better.  But I don't think it will.  Ebay just has to much of the viewing market for people (auction site users) to want to put their items anywhere else.

Price guides for video games are a bad idea, plain and simple. I've wanted to delete that one linked to earlier for a while now, but some people here like to keep it around for nostalgic reasons or something so I leave it alone.

Like someone mentioned, people will pay what they will pay for a game. There's a large majority of people that will tell you Magical Chase is worth over $1,000 because that's what some lunatics paid for it on eBay. If you define a game's "worth" by what some idiot wants to pay for it then sure, Magical Chase is worth $1,000+. Personally, I decided the game wasn't worth over $200 so I found a copy for $165 and bought it. So what should we put in the price guide? $165? Or $1800? You see where I'm going with this? Just because a game fluctuates in price drastically from sale to sale has little to do with sellers "not knowing what to price a game at" and a lot to do with a buyer's intelligence-to-throwaway-cash ratio.

Let's add a thread with a new smokin' hot naked chick every day.  Women don't post here anyway...  and who knows, maybe that kind of thread will be inviting to some trashy women to start posting here?

How about unsticky and lock it?  That will keep it around still but show that it's not current.

Thanks for that, by the way :).



Mooney: You should take a deep breath and think about how you can become a part of the community here. Clearly, you want a price guide. You must realize what a huge undertaking a project like that is, even if folks thought it was useful and wanted to pursue it.

Are you buying games (and don't want to be ripped off)? Selling games? Just curious about prices in general?

1.0 Start a thread where you ask us what a "fair" or "ballpark" for a particular game is.

2.0 Be honest, ask, and see what happens. First impressions are important, and I'd hate to remember "Mooney12345678910" as "that guy who wanted us to make a price guide."

3.0 Expect folks to give you warnings about how inflated prices are on eBay. Expect other folks to cruelly inform you that they picked up the same game for only $1.50. It's OK to shed a tear or two during this process.

Don't buy from "esteban". He is a scumbag. His HuCards are dirty and the cases are cracked.

Quoted for truth, justice, and the American way.

The entire forum is a feedback area: if someone screws people over, they're going to be run out on a rail; and if someone new has a bad reputation on other forums, you'll hear about it from other members.

Or lesbians.

Surely that's a win-win situation?

I know this is an old Topic. But Nat if you could please delete that Price list it seemed like a good idea in the beginning but yeah they are useless really. It comes down to what someone is willing to pay or can afford and and what a seller wants to sell it for. Even keeping a pricelist doesn't seem to effect anything its just a general idea of costs. But that is a very old List and should be removed. I think it will just give people the wrong idea

As a general policy, I don't think it is a good idea to delete stuff arbitrarily. The price thread is a piece of our history now, regardless of how folks feel about it.

Now, if there was a very good reason to delete a thread (i.e. it was full of sexist/racist/homophobic garbage)...I would consider it.

One of the worst things is to erase our conversations here: what better way to dissuade new folks from creating a New Price List than to link to the old price list debates?

We can learn from the past. :pcgs:

You were the original author, so if you tell me on no uncertain terms you want it deleted, I will delete it. But I think esteban has a point; at the very least it's useful now as a counter-argument the next time someone starts talking about making a new price list. It's only a matter of time before this happens, really.

It's not stickied, and the thread has a big, giant "NOT UPDATED IN 3 YEARS" warning so I don't think there's any danger of someone actually using it for pricing.

So having said all that... what'll it be, Windy?

Don't get me wrong, the pricelist is my most-hated thread after "MC Waiting List", but jesus christ, don't delete the whole thread.  If Windy wants his initial post edited and reduced to a period, that's fine, but everyone else posted nine pages of thoughtful comment and debate after that.  This is why users no longer have a "remove" option.  We've discussed this before and decided we didn't want people pulling a Royvega and deleting entire threads.

I agree also, but I also believe that since Windy was the one who posted it, he should have the sovereign right to delete it if he wants. I would just prefer he didn't.
