I can't wait!! I just bought the cart over the summer, but this (from what I heard) will have online play and probably be pretty damn cheap.

Who wants to battle online when this comes out over PSN?!

Buy/Sell/Trade / Anyone get this?

http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u107088866

I put my bid in for about 4500 yen. Figured that would be a decent price for something listed as junk. I got my x68k keyboard from YAJ that was listed as junk and it turned out just fine. THe description just made it sound like the person had no real way of testing it properly, they just turned it on and it worked so it was a risk. Was willing to take that risk for about $40 but of course the auction ended at like 4am and I was outbid.

Anyone get it? I want one of these cool amps real bad. This one just seemed to be missing the brackets.

After beating the first game I've been looking for a reasonably priced copy of the second game. I really want to play through it before the translation (yes, before) so I can play through the game again with some prior knowledge. Plus I also just can't wait and have been growing impatient.

Would prefer a copy with the spine card, but if it's in good enough condition I'll go for one without it.

If you have one or can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

If anyone has any spare Genesis model 1 ACs or model 2 cords that would be great. Desh was extremely nice in hooking me up with a model 2 Sega CD that I should be getting soon. I have both Genesiss's's's' but just need extra cables. 1st party cords are always preferred but if anyone can link to reliable 3rd party ones even, that would also be great.

Thanks!

So last year around this time I decided to give myself a bit of a challenge and try to get going at beating all of the TG/PCE games I had been acquiring. Not that I hadn't been playing them already, but more so to push myself further. I started a thread elsewhere and surprisingly kept up with it all year and in the end I wound up beating 15 new TG/PCE games. I said I wanted to clear between 12-15 and I did it!

I was thinking maybe PCEFX would be interested in doing the same (or maybe some of you already do something of your own). It can be literally anything, but I found it fun to try to keep up with something over the entirety of the year. It also helps to not let shit sit on your shelf as you play the same games over and over again (not that your favorite games are bad, but variety is a good thing too).

Challenges may include:
-Beating X number of games for X system
-Beating X game after so many years (i.e. R-Type, Tatsujin, Raiden)
-Get high score in X game
-Buy as many games as humanly possible (not recommended unless you're also doing one of the above challenges :wink:)
-Work on your magazine scan/archival site
-Print inserts for certain games
-Hold more raffles
-Obtain X game/system
-Sell your games (not recommended unless you're selling them here :wink:)
-Attend a gaming event
-etc.

I know at the very least I kept up with mine, but I'm going to give myself more of a challenge this year ranging further than just Obey related gaming. So mine is as follow.

jtucci31
-Beat 20 or more new TG/PCE games
-Play more Sega Genesis (Beat at least 5ish? Obtain Sega CD too.)
-Get a few more Sega Saturn games and beat those (Strahl, Road Blasters, Dodonpachi, other shooters)
-Beat Shenmue II for Dreamcast
-Beat Castlevania and Ys I or III for x68k
-Beat Metal Slug 3 for Neo Geo
-Play a fighting game at least once a week

I've been curious to know how all of you go about considering games you've beaten officially cleared/finished/beaten/etc.


-Do you use continues or only go for a 1cc for an actual clear?

-Do you only use the number of continues that the game allots you?

-Shooters must be 1cc'ed but platformers can use continues? Vise versa?

-Certain shooters/platformers get exceptions and can use continues? (e.g. Tatsujin, Rayxanber, Browning)

-Play default difficult then ramp it up later? Start at highest difficulty?

-Only play the first level for your "review" of the game?

-Stare at your shelf-candy and don't play them in fear of ruining their value?



For some reason, shooters I don't consider it a cleared unless I 1cc it. Null always said he uses continues as practice for later stages and for practicing a real run. I've stuck to that. Yet platformers I use continues, especially Browning because it's so goddamn hard and cheap sometimes.

I'm not trying to say so-and-so didn't clear the game because they used continues; I'm just genuinely curious to see if you push yourself purposefully or just want to see those credits roll no matter what.

NECTARSIS WINS



Up for grabs is the Arcade Card version of Strider for PCE. Comes with a spine that is slightly faded. Not sure when I'll end this, so for now that is TBD.

-Minimum post count of 200. No turds please.
-You are not allowed to sell it. If you don't want it anymore, please re-raffle it off.
-You must play it and give it a go. I'm raffling it off because I no longer play it.

THE VOTES ARE IN, I'LL BE RAFFLING OFF BRAVELY DEFAULT! Great choice. I had fun with it when I had it, but I'm raffling it for a reason. This comes with the cartridge and case. I believe there was a small insert in it (which is included).

Let me know who wants in. I'll end this in about a week or so. And I'll be home the week after to obtain and ship the game out. Anyone can enter. Prefer to ship to CON US, but international people may just be asked to pitch a few bucks in for shipping. Nothing too bad.

ALL PM'S ARE OUT. INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL ORDERS


Before everyone goes buying an everdrive on their own, why not be patient and get a discount?

For those that don't know how it works. If we buy 10 or more everdrive they are $60 instead of $80. So with shipping and everything you're saving about $10-15. You may just have to wait a little longer for everyone to sign up on this thread and pool the money together, but it seemed worth it last time and worked out rather well.

I guess I'm just starting this thread to see if there is enough interest for one in the first place. We would be buying the V2 of the everdrive this time. I'm on my phone so linking stuff is a pain, but I can put that up at a later time. (So if there are typos in this post, I apologize).

I won't buy one for myself since I'm content with the old everdrive, but I just have a lot of free time to do this. So, if anyone has interest let me know in this thread and we will get a list going!

The list:

2. cjameslv paid SHIPPED
3. glazbal
4. CPTBADASS paid SHIPPED
5. MotherGunner
6. Desh paid SHIPPED
7. elmer (x3 usb) paid SHIPPED
9. Renmauzo CANADA paid SHIPPED
10. BigusSchmuck (usb) paid SHIPPED
11. Gredler (usb) paid SHIPPED
12. SephirothTNH paid SHIPPED
13. SkyeWeIse paid SHIPPED
14. Pokun (usb) SWEDEN paid
15. crazydean paid SHIPPED
16. NightWolve paid SHIPPED
17. Opethian paid SHIPPED
18. Lost Monkey paid SHIPPED
19. SmokeMonster (x2) paid SHIPPED
20. ultrageranium (usb) NETHERLANDS paid
21. Warbucks (usb) paid SHIPPED
22. Duo_R paid SHIPPED



Here is what we are looking at:

Non-USB Everdrive orders in the US
$70 shipped

USB Everdrive orders in the US
$81 shipped

USB/Non-USB Everdrive orders outside CON US
Depends. Will have to chat with separately.

Last time I shipped them in small flat rate boxes. Sure, it's a big box for such a tiny thing, but I knew I wouldn't want my everdrive shipped in some bubble mailer/envelope. Hope that's ok with everyone. No one seemed to mind last time (at least I think). I make sure to package them up real good and safe.


With that, I also want to double check I have everyone marked correctly for what they wanted.

USB Orders
elmer x3
BigusSchmuck
Pokun
ultrageranium
Warbucks
gredler

International Orders
Pokun (Sweden)
Renmauzo (Canada)
ultrageranium (Netherlands)

If you start around 7:30 Tony Hawk talks about how when skating was taking a downturn, he had to find other sources of income. He would edit videos and do...."video editing for TurboGrafx".  :-k

I searched through the forums, but all that came up was discussion of the THPS games and whatnot. I know the characters in Riot Zone are Tony and Hawk, but it sounds like he's talking about something else. I had this on in the background while I was doing other things and when i heard "TurboGrafx" it caught me off guard.

If this is known, I apologize. I have just never heard of anything about this before.

A thread about a shirt? Dumb? Maybe. I just think the shirt is really cool. I like the shirts 1cc does but this one obviously has enough of my interest to want to buy the shirt.

http://1cc.storenvy.com/collections/257547-all-products/products/11051043-pc-engine-1cc-shirt-of-the-month-19-december

1cc shirts does various video game related shirts every month. For only a month at a time. So last month's shirt was of a Taito Egret Candy Cab and they've had x68k shirts, Hudson soft shirts, etc. I'm sure some of you have heard of them, and I've seen the site posted here before, but just for those that don't know.

Normally I'd say $25 is high for just one shirt, but since it's Christmas season i can easily shoehorn this in somewhere and drop hints about wanting this. Figured maybe some of you would want to do the same. :)

For the lazy, the front of the shirt.

And back of the shirt.

So I've been wanting an Everdrive for awhile and seeing interest in other threads has prompted me to start this thread. I'd be willing to organize this group buy for some Everdrives.

I'll purchase them from here: http://shop.retrogate.com/Turbo-EverDrive-TURBO-ED.htm

Buying one on your own runs you around $85. This group buy should aim to save you around $10-15. It's $60 per person if 10 are involved so adding in little shipping fees here and there will still cut the cost of buying on your own. I'm figuring out how much the initial shipment of 10 everdrives will be so once i have that i can get a better number for everyone. I'd say now you're looking at maybe $70. I would need the money upfront before i bought it as I don't have that kind of cash to shell out, sorry. I'm sure most of you understand how this works but if not I'll try to explain better.

So I'd like to get a list going of people who are interested and can pay within a week or two (ideally). Once i get a list of how many people want an everdrive i can get exact prices and we can get this ball rolling.


The list:

1-jtucci31 paid
2-Sadler paid
3-BlueBMW paid
4-NightWolve paid
5-Wallzter paid
6-jlued686 paid
7-wildo2ne paid
8-FiftyQuid (Canada) paid
9-Keith Courage paid
10-spenoza paid
11-esteban paid
12-MrFulci paid
13-TheClash603 paid
14-DragonmasterDan paid
15-Medic_wheat paid
16-munchiaz paid
17-BigT paid
18-Rosser paid
19-mrhaboobi (New Zealand) paid
20-reson8er paid



This list should be fully updated. If i missed anyone, please let me know.

UPDATE: So the price for one everdrive plus shipping and expenses will be $70 per person. I feel that's pretty fair and saves everyone around $15 or so if they were to buy it on their own like i said before. I'll start sending PM's to everyone today with my paypal information and whatnot. Hopefully the money can get pooled together by the end of the week and i can order the everdrives then.


Tracking Numbers are out! Everyone should have theirs!!

Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB PCE Duo R
03/16/2014, 07:21 PM
I haven't been having the best of luck on eBay lately looking for a reasonably priced one so I figured I would try here. I'm looking for my first PCE and I just want to start off with both Hu Card and CD capabilities.

I'm just looking for a Duo R. Modded or not, that's not my concern right now. If any of you know anyone selling one I would greatly appreciate it.
#20
I just have a small question pertaining to the power supply for a Duo R. If i were to get a Duo R without the AC adapter but still with the AV cables, would i be hard-pressed to find just a PCE power supply? And does the Duo R require a certain adapter or will any PCE power supply work?

If anyone could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it. I'm about to buy my first PCE so i want to make sure i have it all down.
#21
Hello! I just got accepted to the forums last night and I'm pretty excited to dive into it all. I'm looking for a Turbo Duo R for a reasonable price. Also looking for good game recommendations. I know the thing that is really drawing me to the PCE are the shoot em ups. But other than that I'm using this forum to get my research done. Happy to be here.
