Looks wonderful, I will definitely place an order when it comes out.

Not to worry, I find it quite difficult as well. I think I have only made it to the third level. Which version are you playing by the way? I have the Sega Saturn version.

I am thankful for Bonking.

C'est sans doute vrai mais j'espère que tu trouveras malgré tout des membres avec qui organiser un événement. Il doit y en avoir quelques-uns tout de même.

 La Turbografx était-elle populaire au Québec à l'époque de sa commercialistion, ou est-ce vraiment une console qui n'est connue que par quelques amateurs passionnés comme nous?

Blast Wind is a lot cheaper though. It is in a similar price range to a lot of other Saturn shooters. Not a bad game but I prefer Hyper Duel.
#11
I have it and like it a lot, but it is indeed very expensive. Still, with the Yen having lost a lot of value you should be able to get it for somewhat less than 300$ now.

Is it still possible to purchase one of these and if so, do I qualify?

What I have never understood is why it is called Altered Beast, seeing as it is the man who gets altered and not the other way around. Or at least that would seem to be the case.

It should have been called Altered Geek.

Is the PAL Turbografx still available? Where would you be posting from?

I am looking for the following Amstrad GX4000 games (boxed and complete):


-Barbarian II
-Copter 271
-Dick Tracy
-Mystical
-Operation Thunderbolt
-Plotting
-Chase HQII Special Criminal Investigation (if it actually really exists)


I have plenty of doubles of PC-Engine and Turbografx games I can trade. Or games from other systems as well (PAL and JPN Megadrive games, Master System/MarkIII games, SG1000 games, games for all the Atari consoles, 3DO games, FM Towns Marty games etc.).


So if any of you has some spare GX4000 games gathering dust somewhere let me know.

Some of my favourite games from the West:

-Phantasy Star
-Golden Axe Warrior
-Astérix
-Astérix and the Secret Mission
-Wonder Boy series (I-II-III-IV)
-Alex Kidd in Miracle World
-Master of Darkness
-Spellcaster
-R-Type
-Bubble Bobble
-Castle of Illusion
-Land of Illusion
-Deep Duck Trouble
-Golvellius
-Kenseiden
-Ninja Gaiden
-Power Strike II
-Psycho Fox
-Road Rash
-Shinobi
-Star Wars

Most of the light-gun games are fun as well, Laser Ghost - Assault City - Missile Defence 3D (you need the 3D glasses for this one) to name a few.


For Japan-only games, it feels a bit more subjective, but my favourites:


-Megumi Rescue
-Rygar
-Solomon's Key
-Enduro Racer (has twice as many levels as the Western version)
-Tensai Bakabon

By the East do you mean Japan?

General Gaming / Re: Never Played NES
10/14/2013, 10:09 PM
I am living in Japan but I am from South Africa and have most of my games collection with me here.

I use multi-region CRT televisions for playing my games so I am not stuck with NTSC-J at all.

Most French consoles (technically SECAM) came with a Peritel cable and some output RGB directly (Atari 7800 and Sega Master System for example). The difference in quality is huge when compared with the RF output of the consoles which were sold elsewhere. In this case, it is not simply a question of switching the cable as the consoles sold elsewhere do not output RGB despite being from the same region (ex. UK Atari 7800 and UK Sega Master System). This is why I tend to only use French consoles for playing those systems. Of course the more modern the console, the easier it is to get around this.


But if the NES only outputs AV, then as you say, it makes no difference. My question was more in relation to the games themselves and in which region they would be cheaper to acquire.

I play a lot of my consoles in PAL format and being from South Africa I have a large PAL collection. Having said that, I don't even have a PAL Turbografx. It really depends on the console, for some like the Megadrive I have a lot of both.

One of the huge advantages of many PAL consoles, for me anyhow, is the Peritel/Scart connection which means getting the best possible picture without having to do any modifications.

As far as the NES is concerned, I don't really know which is why I was asking.

I have also never had a NES. In fact I don't think the NES was ever released in South Africa where I grew up. I can remember a rich friend had one as his father had managed to import one somehow and I did play it a few times when I visited his house.

Is it generally cheaper to collect PAL titles or NTSC titles? And which version of the hardware should one get?

There would be no point in making bootlegs of Spriggan or Gate of Thunder. They are readily available and cheapish here in Japan.

With regards to Sapphire, Punkic Cyborg is correct, you will most likely need to spend hundreds if you want a real one.

I am sorry to hear that.


An excellent game. I also like the fact that it has a 2-player mode.

Ai Cho Aniki's bosses are unforgettable.

I don't particularly care much for either, but I find Cotton slightly more appealing for some reason.
#46
Sorry, I haven't been around the forum for quite some time, I am not sure I understand what has transpired.


Who made this PC-Engine port of Megaman?
#47
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but Moeroshop's Turbografx stock completely disappeared from their site a few weeks ago.

They still had quite a few sealed games and accessories.

Does anyone know what happened?
#48
If you are still looking I can send you a complete one from Japan (without spine) for about 100$ plus shipping.

Buy/Sell/Trade / Akumajou Dracula X

Hello all, I have two spare copies of Akumajou Dracula X which I am thinking of selling off.  Can anyone tell me what is a fair asking price for this game at the moment?  Both are complete in excellent condition but without spine cards.
