[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Could Dynasty Wars be improved on?]

Does anyone know if it could be improved upon?

Meh.. I'm sure that turd could be polished a little more.  I'd rather see different development team build it from scratch as an Arcade Card release.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Sapphire is underrated.]

Sapphire is great, my only knock on it is it's annoying sound effects.  It's like a couple notches below Rayxamber III in "pew-pew" annoyingness.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Is the PCE craze over yet?]

Nothing is over! You can't just turn it off!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: SuperGrafx power supply]

I see Retrogamecave offers PSU for the Supergrafx:

I've never bought anything from these guys, so can't vouch for the quality.

[General Gaming / Re: Bought a Genesis... Any game suggestions?]

Any suggestions that you may have?

Get an Everdrive.  It's the best cart you can buy for the system.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Double Dragon 2 (PC Engine) Vs. Double Dragon 2 (Nes)]

does it justify the high price for the pc engine version of this game?, now that's hard question

Hell to the no.  eBay sellers are on crack.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Double Dragon 2 (PC Engine) Vs. Double Dragon 2 (Nes)]

The PCE Port is better because it is HOT WILD.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Yakuza 1&2]

Never played #1 

I'd way for Kiwami and I say this as a huge fan of the series.

Word.  The first one is pretty rough after playing the later installments.

[General Gaming / Re: Old School Pain In The Ass SHMUPs]

Vanguard for the Atari 2600 was a bitch in some spots.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Sexy Turbo Porn...]

I dare someone to call that number and try to place an order.

[General Gaming / Re: Anyone happy with their 3DO?]

I thoroughly enjoyed my Panasonic FZ-10, but as mentioned a lot of the good games can be found on other systems(and they usually play better).

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: (work in progress) Barbarian on PCE]

That's what I'm talking about.  I love me some Barbarian.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Hacking Double Dragon 2 to add more songs?]

Interesting.  I think I'll take a shit while listening to Double Dragon II tonight.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Retrobright works on HuCards]

please dont whiten anything with the boards in it
its extremely corrosive and can destroy them

Word.  I kinda like the look of my lung-cancer brown Vigilante hucard anyway.

[Off-Topic / Re: Whopper vs. Big Mac]

I prefer the Big Mac.  Whoppers have a slight ammonia-like smell that turns me off.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New to the PC Engine]

Need some advice doujindance had a duo-r for sale right now. It's been goin up and down off eBay.  I want my first investment to be a good lasting one.  I've read some feedback on forums.... should I wait for future opportunity on either ifu or duo-r? 

I def want rgb mod.

Avoid doujindance like the plague.  You can buy a stock system and have one of the guys here on the forums mod it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New to the PC Engine]

Welcome to the boards.

PS: Big Mac > Whopper

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your favorite PCE CD system? Current going prices?]

Ever since I picked one up near it's release my favourite console of all time is the Japanese PC Engine Duo.

That's my favorite as well.  I like the old-school sexy.

[Feedback / Re: Anybody noticing a speed-up in server page-load time ???]

It's roading a little faster for me.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Splatterhouse PCE - The Cleaver]

Honest question: how many folks here had Splatterhouse at a local arcade/deli/whatever back in the day?

Never in my life have I seen a Splatterhouse cab.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Tenchi Wo Kurau (Capcom)]

Tenchi is a good game, but it really could have used an AC treatment. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: 1943 Kai]

The first half is, the extra stages are where the cool people hang out.

Word.  I usually skip to the second half when I play.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC Engine Duo Who Repairs Caps and does Region Mods?]

I've never seen a PC Engine Duo that can do that.

It would be quite the neat trick though. OP, be sure to let me know if you find this magical duo.

Keith Courage

I have one.  I'll gladly trade it for a "self healing/modding" GT or Express.

[Off-Topic / Re: 10 Cloverfield Lane - Shut up and watch it.]

I saw it in the theater and thought it was a good movie.  I'm looking forward to the sequel. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine CD/TurboGrafx CD Vs Mega-CD/Sega CD - which is better?]

I gave the nod to NEC.  Developers made better use of the platform.  Had the Sega CD received the same level of support it would have been top dog.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: New store focused on TG16/PCE gear]

Thanks for setting up this store.  I swing by next time I need a part or two.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: 3 arcade games you'd love to see on the Turbo/PCE?]

You want it on pce because of it's theme right !?

One of the many reasons.  An arranged soundtrack option would be sick.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Dumb Buyers]

http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/231946668223

That game is getting ridiculous.  There's another one posted for $199.  What a turd that game is.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: 3 arcade games you'd love to see on the Turbo/PCE?]

I'd also like to add Golden Axe.  A proper port of the game would be most excellent.

There was a project some time ago, but it's been ages since anything has been mentioned...

That's the one I'm keeping my fingers crossed for.  It looks great from what little I've seen of it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: 3 arcade games you'd love to see on the Turbo/PCE?]

I'd also like to add Golden Axe.  A proper port of the game would be most excellent.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: 3 arcade games you'd love to see on the Turbo/PCE?]

1. NARC
2. Smash TV
3. Roadblasters

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Arcade Card Pro]

Prices are going crazy guys. I hope those who bought into this kind of shit when it was affordable are at least grateful they got in when they did (and not too pissed off that their collecting has probably come to a halt due to it just being unaffordable now.)

Believe me, I do.  I remember when these things sold for 100 yen a pop.

[General Gaming / Re: Games that kick your ass but you still love.]

Image Fight is brutal for me, but I keep coming back.  Same can be said about Image Fight II.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: If you had to pick between these 3 shooters.....]

Gradius II.  It's the only game out of the three that hasn't burned me out.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbografx-16 & PC-Engine Reproduction Hucards Available Soon!!!!]

Duo games reproduction hucard WIP.

That's what I'm talking about.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Always wondered...]

Why didn't NEC just wait to release the Supergrafx here in the US instead of just releasing the Turbo? I mean aside of the localization and such there was only like 4 months between release dates? It couldn't have been that much more expensive to produce the Supergrafx here in the U.S and hell you could even had older pc engine games to fill in the void until more Supergrafx games were available. Just a weird thought...

NEC didn't give a damn about the US market.  They wrote the Turbografx off as "dead on arrival" before it even went on sale.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Should I get an Arcade Pro Card?]

You forgot another benefit: still can't play Altered Beast

Yeah, go ahead and add that to list.  I think I'm one of the very few who still enjoys that game.  It's the only reason I keep my 1.0 card around.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Looking For- NtscU TurboDuo recapped w/ regionfree, component video&jailbar mods]

Hahahah.. this thread made my night.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Should I get an Arcade Pro Card?]

Just wondering if some of you could chime in on the benefits/awesome games that would come with purchasing an Arcade Pro Card for my cd rom2.  D

Benefits:

1. You will make your PCE capable of playing a small handful of kickass games.
2. The ladies will flock to you and try to have your babies.

Awesome Games:

1. Neo Ports 
2. Sapphire

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Do you own a turbo-less PCE pad?]

I have one but I rarely use it.  I only use it when I want to restrict myself from the turbo.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Honest question about Rondo of Blood]

The only game in the library that disappointed me was Blazing Lazers, which is just too much of a bore to get to the good sections later in the game.

That blew my mind.  But I respect your opinion.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Honest question about Rondo of Blood]

Have you been let down by every other game on the console?

I'm not qualified to answer your first question, but I will say I was let down by Rondo.  It's a great game, but when I first played it I thought to myself "So this is the game everybody is bouncing off their cocks about?  Give me a break!".

[NEC Console Resource / Re: Hello from Japan]

Good story.  Welcome to the boards.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: any problems with Disc Rot?]

anyone have a large pce-cd collection can tell how well their cd's have held up?

Mine are going strong.  No problems.  Aside from Shenmue II for Dreamcast I've never had an optical disc rot on me.

also any thing else I should keep in mind when buying the Duo?

Hookers and blow.

I've read some guides that the Duo R is the best one to go for as the other ones have problems with their caps.
thanks!

If you don't want to mess with caps get an R or RX.  I prefer the DUO myself.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hori Fighting Commander PC]

I will not pay market value for this, I have a budget

Better start working on those legerdemain skills, son.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: How to impress?]

What game do you pop in?

Air Zonk.  But if I had access to a CD ROM I'd play Nexzr.  Show those bitches what's up.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTT: Duo-RX 6-Button Pad for Avenue Pad 6 or HFC]

If the previous bids fall through I'll trade you two AV6's for the RX pad.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Bazaru de Gozaru]

Bazzy Guide

Thanks for posting that up.  Think I'll fire it up this weekend.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: PC Engine LT]

*drool*  Good luck with the sale.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Nexzr PC Engine]

Am I the only one who prefers Summer Carnival to the original?

I am just here to gloat that on a fluke bid I just won a copy of Summer Carnival without the manual for $35.00.

For once, getting a game for a price it feels like it's worth (might be wrong).

I'm sure you know this, but your only chances are auctions, Yahoo Japan, or a kind soul here.

That's a steal.  I may be in the minority, but I prefer SC to the original.  No cutscenes in original mode, and carnival mode FTW.
