The 30th is nearly upon us, we need to celebrate.

Marathon sessions of Deep Blue?

Here's a couple more options:

Play the first game you ever had on the PC Engine.

I'm not liking where this is going. The very first PC Engine HuCard I owned was:

I took the time to find you a photo of my pants. Hopefully this proves that a variety of Asian people really do find my genitalia quite large.

Use this thread for PCE setups.

I'm not posting my collection just posting my setup.  I should post my controllers too eventually I suppose.

Hmmmm... actually, that's a fair point!

Drakon 1 : le Bomber 0

Your s-video/headphone inputs looks pretty good. Did you say you did those yourself? Maybe I'll ask you to s-vid and headphone jack mine, too! I'll wait until I pick up a spare Core Grafx to play with though, if my whitey is going to be gone for a while at some point. Does the RF and composite need to be disabled, though? I like having those options. Just a thought!

Here's an actual photo of mine. Turbokon did the region mod on it. Funny that I didn't ask BlueBMW to do it, since I usually talk to him. He's pretty busy I think anyway and Turbokon did a great job. I totally recommend him if he isn't too busy.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Raffle request: Magical chase]

Oh, I want in on this raffle! Not the best game, but it's certainly playable. +4.27 Turbo karma to tggodfrey for raffling off this game.

You're in luck. You are "in" the raffle. I'm not drawing the winner until August 31.

Do you have anything else I can be "in"? *wink, wink*

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pc Engine collections]

Slowly, slowly, slowly rebuilding...



I've very much sadly missing Rondo of Blood, Gate of Thunder, Winds/Lords of Thunder, Spriggan, Bonk's Revenge and YsI&II (of course more, but those are at the top of my list to get next). As for my low quality picture? Too bad! I'll make another later when I have more stuff again.

My PC Engine is region modded, thanks to Turbokon. My TG-16 just kind of looks pretty on the shelf.

This thread needed to be brought back to life!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: whats the best knock off retro console]

Links and pics if you don't mind please.  I've tried Googling some of these names, but all I get are useless Wiki links. 

Here is the one that Sega made. Just be warned, the Sega port of Afterburner II from the NEC Avenue original is severely lacking. Best just to stick with the original PC Engine version:

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Will cdrs wear out a pc engine cd system?]

Which component of an optical drive wears out a CD, and how so? Honest question.  CD's don't wear out by being played like a tape or record does.

You might want to take a look at the title and OP of this thread again. It's as it was originally and has not been edited. No excuses.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Setups]

SGTJAMMA, the exact same basic thread already exists. There is a very predominant search bar at the top-right of the site. I suggest using it.

Seriously though, it's not really a huge deal. I just needed to raz you a bit.


Yup, that's why I use. My PCE was modded by Turbokon (I bought the whole thing from him, and sold/traded my old PCE to T2Kfreeker). I make sure to hook it up with RF, just to annoy you guys.

Before that, I had a PCE/Super CD-ROM2 combo that I liked to play in stretched widescreen with composite and mono, despite having a component hook-up. Again, just to annoy people like SuperDeadite.

Whatever.  Tatsujin still doesn't have this game:

Rofl!  I've been here long enough to get an in-joke!

I didn't get it at first... then I realized what the kanji is. Now I get it.

How are the KFC twister things, Tats? Still good?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Why the PCE? Why Not the Genesis or Snes???]

I like the SNES a lot, I think it has a great library.

The Genesis on the other hand is a bit of a different story, the Genesis had a fairly diverse library of games being released between 1989 and 1992, after that the Genesis library became overrun with 1. Ports of games that were better on SNES 2. Sports games 3. Sega first party games which varied wildly in quality.

Simply put, for the Genesis there's not enough unique software on the system for it to have any major advantage over the TG16 in my book.

Added in edit: The PC Engine itself has another huge draw which is it has a lot of games that quite frankly I've not played. I was a huge gamer in the 16-bit era, I subscribed to lots of game mags. Most Super Famicom and Genesis games worth owning made their way to the US. The PC Engine and TG16 have vastly differing libraries which leaves more to be discovered.

Also the library suits my "likes" as far as gaming goes. My three favorite Genres are J-RPGs, Platformers and Shmups. Two of the three are well represented on the PCE .

I have to completely agree with this. I was pretty heavy into gaming during the 16-bit era, and owned a Genesis, Sega CD and SNES back in the day. I had played a Turbografx-16 and knew of the PC Engine, but almost nobody I knew had one. The only games I had a chance to play was Keith Courage and Bonk's Adventure. That was it. None of the movie/game rental shops carried TG-16 games, just NES, SMS, Genesis, Sega CD, SNES, etc.

In the mid-late 90s, I discovered emulators and roms. I got into NES, Gameboy and Genesis roms quickly... mostly playing Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force II, which, ironically, were games I owned anyway. The novelty of playing them on my computer and not taking up the family TV was awesome. Of course, by this time, rental shops had moved on to the 3DO, Saturn, PS1 and N64. Although I had a Saturn and PS1, I LOVED having a way to try out all of the games I'd missed earlier, or wanted to play more but didn't have access to.

Thanks to Harry Tuttle's website, "The Dump", it wasn't long before I was diving into the TG-16/PC Engine library (why was the TG-16 the ONLY system where you had to pay for the emulator???). All of those games that I'd read about in Gamepro and EGM were at my disposal, and then some! Well, the HuCard games anyway. I finally got to spend some quality time with the Bonk games. I saw how awesome Devil's Crush was. I had fun on Blazing Lasers. I discovered that the NES didn't have the best version of Life Force, but wondered why it was called Salamander in Japan. I discovered how different JJ&Jeff was from Kato&Ken. I realized how sad the SMS version of R-Type was when compared to the awesome TG-16 version. WOW, it was a whole new world of 16-bit games that I'd missed right there for me to play!

Later on, I moved to Japan. I had a modded X-Box with all the emulators on it, as well as a PS3 when it came out. I was spending a lot of time playing MAME games on the X-Box mostly. I mostly hung out in the PS2/3 section of game shops. Then, a boxed Sega Saturn caught my eye for just 3000yen ($30). I bought it, along with about 30 games at a few yen each. The bill came to about 5000yen. Not bad, I thought. Just two years later... I had every retro system and most every retro game I'd ever wanted. Which 16-bit system came out as my favourite out of the bunch?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pop cultural references to TG-16]

I think it was called Pandemonium, or something like that.  You had to complete a series of about 4-5 puzzles.  They offered extra prizes each round if you paid some more money.  Probably a bit of a scam, but the prizes sure looked awesome.

I think when I tried it out, it was for an SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, 3DO and Jaguar.  There was also an entertainment system in there.  Maybe a PC, too.  That would've been from 1993, I guess.  I don't remember there being a Duo, although I'm sure there was in the 1992 edition (or at least a TG-16 w/CD-ROM).

edit:

Google images came through!

Here's the one I entered (no Turbo...  it was either 1993 or 1994, considering the consoles in the picture.)


Here's the one Old Rover was probably referring to.  Interesting how they're including a Super Famicom.  Maybe they should've had a PC Engine as well!!!  Must have been a 1990 or 1991 contest.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / PC Engine GT]

PC Engine GT
-GT unit (has the common sound issue(can hear it with good headphones), and the video takes a while to warm up)  Basically, it needs the caps replaced
-TV Tuner (works fine!)
-AC adapter

Bought from a Hard-Off in Saitama 8 months ago and used a fair bit (with giant headphones on the train!).  It came with the TV Tuner.  The AC adapter was bought from Trader #2 in Akihabara right before they moved to games to the other store.  There really is not much profit being made here!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Post pictures of your PC Engine and/or Turbo hardware here!]

It's not as pretty as some of the pictures here, but it's functional!  I've also got a boxed Duo hidden in a closet somewhere.

There are two (kind of) peculiar things about this photo.  Can anyone notice it?
