Hidden shoot ?em up game Dark Left found on the PC Engine Super CD-ROM game Tenshi no Uta II 天使の詩II 堕天使の選択 by Riot / Telenet

To access it, load the game using System Card 1 or 2 so that the warning screen appears (top photo).  Then on the joypad press up, up, down, down and buttons I+II simultaneously.  On the title screen, it says that the game is produced by Pandaemonium.

Anyone try it?  I don't have the game.

[Off-Topic / Secret Santa 2017]

Secret Santa is here again!  Here's the rules:

1.  Don't sign up if you can't / won't follow through.
2.  Sign ups are open until the first(ish) of November, at which time everyone'll be matched up and wish lists will be sent out to their respective Santa.
3.  Due to an unfortunate issue last year, no noobs allowed.  Santas must have a minimum of 50 posts or have a long timer vouch for them.
4.  To make life easier for me, please fill in the form below when sending me your info.  Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted.  Please don't ask Santa for relatively rare games that sell once every 90 days on ebay for reasonable prices; he's on a schedule and can't wait months for a deal to come along.
5.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $30-40 range - real value and not bloated, unsold BIN pricing.
6.  Gifts should be mailed by December 9th to give the PO two full weeks.  If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know as early as possible so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with nothing but tears and empty dreams under their festivus pole.
7.  Also related to last year's issue, make sure your gift is sent with tracking.  If at all possible, it's strongly suggested that you have Santa send your gift to a secure location (work, PO box, a neighbor that's home, or held at the PO); if tracking says it was delivered but your package was stolen off your porch, it's not Santa's problem.
8.  This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through; you f*ck this up and I'll ban your ass.
9.  The most important rule is to have fun!

For extra holiday cheer, one random Santa will be selected to receive 'coal in their stocking and another will get a copy of the Turbo Legacy Poster.  If you don't want (or already have) either of these goodies, please note accordingly on the form below.

Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.

I don't remember this coming up before, but the derpy looking guy in the US artwork was given an official name in the iOS and Android versions of Bomberman (released by Konami in 2014).  I'm surprised they bothered acknowledging it.

As bad as the box/manual is, at least they kept the original sprites.  These are just godawful!

I think these are PS1 games, but they don't look like the ones on ebay and the paperwork looks cheap (sorry, no cases).  They're pressed discs, but I don't know if they're from some other region, booties, or what.  Standard rules apply:

1. Don't enter if you already have 'em.... which seems unlikely.
2. No people that post almost entirely in buy/sell/trade threads.
3. You gotta play 'em, at least enough to figure out what the heck they are.
4. A random winner will be selected in a couple weeks.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Motteke Tamago Title Englishification]

Englishification is a word, right? 

The literal translation doesn't make much sense and "motteke tamago" is just romanization of the moon runes, so what's a good 'real' title for it in English?  I'm looking for something that'd fit, something that could easily have been used back in the day had it been brought to the US.  I started off with Wild Goose Chase, but there's no geese involved (I think they're all supposed to be ducks), so Dan suggested Wild Duck Chase or Duck, Duck, Egg.  I kinda like the latter, but I'm open to suggestions.

I accidentally deleted this post instead of moving it here, but luckily I could still cute and paste the content:

@Nightwolves.

I will try to be civil with you.  You mentioned that I came to PCFX to try and profit from them.  I think if I am trying and it ll be always just few dollars profit compared doing the house marketing.  There is so many houses that people are doing to profit thousand and thousand dollars.  Ohhhh maybe it s your level of profit.  Im happy send you a dollar if you really need profit from me!. It s on me!!

Again I am not here to make profit.  I am not like others who looks for the Turbos and re sell over n over and making sure my stock is still in stock.  Dont you get it buddy!.  Go after people who buys here and sell on ebay and buys here then sell again.  has duplicate titles..

1. Do i have duplication to sell - NO
2. Do i tend to look for cheap turbos to re stock to sell - No
3. Why did I complete twice and re sell them all twice - None of your fucking business - Funds went to a real good reason.  If i had chance i wouldnt want to sell my sealed magical chase for 8500.  Im sure it can sell for 15,000 in a year or two.  I dont give a fuck.  I need money at the moment to invest where my family can sleep in.

Now.  Why badger on willis stuffs.  Just let them be and keep your running mouth to yourself.  I totally agreed with someone saying if there were two games.  $500 each.  keith courage and magical chase complete in box/jewel.  I bet you. You will just buy $500 on magical chase and low ball keithcourage to $1 dollar instead of just say wow thank you for a great and buy $1000 for both  even magical chase worth 6,000 +

If you dont agree then please kindly use this..

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Illust Booster and Print Booster]

There's not much info. about these things here, so I figured I'd share what little I've learned about 'em since picking 'em up.  If I ever snag a Photo Reader, I'll amend my findings.

First up is the Illust Booster.  At first I'd feared it was broken, as it wouldn't work with Artist Tool on the flash cart.  The rom loader utility thing can't use the I.B as a controller, so I tried starting with a regular pad and switching to the I.B., but no go.  Apparently Artist Tool has to recognize the I.B. on boot (if it does, it changes "push run button" to "push III button" - there is no run button), and only then will it work properly; I thought I'd have to find a real Artist Tool (or a chucard), but luckily it can find the pad on port two of a tap.  Success!  It works okay but it's not great: the window is smallish, so you have to pick up the pen and reset a lot, and you have to press rather hard for it to register, making me fear that I'd break it.

Now that I could draw some shit, let's see how it prints!  The Print Booster is more of a Plot Booster, using regular pens to draw your art.  Unless there's a way to get it to plot each color separately, letting you change pens after each color is completed, you'll get just the one color; there may be such an option, but the only options I could figure out were one where you directly control the pen (like an etch-a-sketch) and printing the whole shebang at once.  Here's what my meager abilities could produce (don't laugh!):

   

The random straight lines crossing over areas are from having the pen pushed too far into its carrier, so try to ignore those.  In the first pic, the top left is from etch-a-sketch mode using a normal controller's d-pad, the upper obey was drawn using a d-pad, the moon rune is from the built in text/stamp tool, and the bottom obey and smiley were drawn with the Illust Booster; and the second pic is all I.B.  The flat bottom of the smiley was caused by the paper being hastily cut a smidge too wide at the bottom, making the page curl up as it hit the printer's side when it neared the bottom of the page.

Here's the manuals if anyone cares to read 'em: Illust Booster and Print Booster

[Fighting Street / Why Xak is mocked and shunned.]

Since this douche has decided to PM me and proclaim his innocence and ask why he's being prosecuted, I'll publicly state why I have no use for him:

He's earned the vitriol.  This is at least his fifth user name, and he's been previously banned for lying and stealing other PCEFXers work, including plagiarizing a game walkthrough(s) from runin (maybe CrackTiger..... it's been a while), claiming to be part of the translation teams working on Xanadu (which is SamIAm's work) amongst other jobs, and for posting ignorant, off topic bullshit.  He's useless, irredeemably stupid, and not to be trusted.

It's that time again - welcome to another year of Secret Santa!  The rules:

1.  Don't sign up if you can't/won't follow through.
2.  Signups are open now until the first of November, at which time everyone'll be matched up and wish lists will get sent to their Santas.
3.  To make life easier for me, please follow the format below when sending me your info.  Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted.
4.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $20-30 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3!! eBay value.
5.  Gifts should be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but it's not Secret Thanksgiving Gobbler so not too early either.  If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know as early as you can so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with nothing under their tree but new socks and tears of regret.
6.  This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through.  Failure to hold up your end of the bargain will result in severe beatings and/or flaming poo bags on your front porch.
7.  Most importantly - have fun!


For extra holiday cheer, one random participant will be selected to receive coal in their stocking and another participant will get a copy of the Turbo Legacy Poster.  If you don't want (or already have) either of these goodies, please note accordingly on the form below.

Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.

It's that time again - welcome to another year of Secret Santa!  Here's da rules:

1.  If you have a history of failing to follow through in a timely manner, please don't waste everyone's time; do us all a big favor and refrain from signing up.

3.  To make life easier for me, follow the format below when sending me your name, shipping address, wish list, etc.  Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted.
4.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $20-30 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3!! eBay value.
5.  Gifts shall be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but not too early either (this ain't Secret Thanksgiving Pilgrim).  If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with nothing under their tree but moldy old fruitcakes.

[Fighting Street / Sikh Temple Shooting]

Why has this shooting been relatively ignored compared to the Batman shooter douche?  Is it because the asshole is dead, because he was a known racist scumbag, because he killed a bunch of Sikhs instead of 'real' Americans, or what?  All I know is I'm glad the cocksucker is dead and won't be wasting any tax dollars for trial and incarceration.

This is the only time I've seen 'em outside of the Turbob Gear promos.  I missed 'em (even at $33 shipped I probably would've pulled the trigger), but did someone here snag one or both pairs?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / NecroPhile's game clears and mindless musings]

Here's a thread for some personal navel gazing and braggadocio of my leet gaming skillz, along with my worthless thoughts about each game (unlike runin, my thoughts really are worthless).  The goal is to clear a game every two weeks or so, but we'll see how that goes when I run out of the easy stuff.


Clear #1 - The Legend of Xanadu



To belatedly start the ball rolling ('twas finished just before the end of the June), it's teh LoX!  This is a fantastic adventurey rpg that any fan of the Ys games should take a look at; it's cutscenes are amongst the best you'll find on the PCE, the music is pretty good (though mostly chip tunes and not red book), the puzzles are plentiful and tricky but not frustratingly so, and the side scrolling bits and boss fights are absolutely beautiful.  Just one word of warning for those that find moon runes incomprehensible (like me): it's a bit hard to get started out, but the pace picks up considerably once you learn the ropes; I suggest starting with blueraven's walkthrough to get you started with minimal fuss and consulting it (whenever it's finished) or the one at mindrec when you get stuck (it will happen).

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Would you rather have a SuperGrafx or a PC-FX?]

Similar to Sadlers LA/LT poll: assuming you already have a Duo or whatever to OBEY with, would you rather add a SuperGrafx or a PC-FX to the collection?  My vote is (and was) for the PC-FX and its larger library of games.
