[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Are you in it just for the CD ROM games?]

Just curious to know how many folks on here are just here because they like the CD ROM classics and not so much the HuCard titles. Why are you here? Let us know!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PUSHRUNBUTTON.COM What should it become?]

I recently picked up this domain name with the intention of doing a little blog and review sort of project with it. Was wondering, though, if there is something that the community here would like to see incorporated into it.

There was talk in another thread about acquiring tzd.com (the old Turbo Zone Direct domain) and creating a buying/selling/repair sort of site. The negotiations apparently didn't go well with the current owner of the domain. I'm not sure if I want pushrunbutton.com to be heavy into the e-commerce segment (at least as far as selling/buying games/system - seems like eBay is the dominant player here). What could be cool is to have some centralized resource for repair and mod services.

Anyhow, what are your thoughts? I'd want this to become something that, while small, would be a useful resource with a different slant to what other Turbo/PCE sites have to offer currently.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Advantages of Duo RX?]

What are they? Just curious. Any info would be great!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / NEC: Beautiful, unreliable hardware?]

Why is the Turbo and/or PC Engine so notorious for having hardware problems? From leaking caps to CD ROM gears, it seems like you hear more about problems with hardware on this group of systems more than any other. I've had so much bad luck lately with caps (thank you to BlueBMW for fixing!) and two CD ROM drives, it's really been discouraging. 

Is there a reason why we don't hear about many of these problems on the Sega and Nintendo systems as much?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Good RGB to HDMI or Component converter?]

Anyone have any experience using an RGB converter in the US? Are there certain brands, features to look out for? Any info would be great!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Has anyone played Laplace No Ma (Laplace's Demon)?]

It looks really interesting. Wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Blue baggies?]

Every new PC Engine system I've gotten had a clear blue baggie around it when packaged in its box. Is this the norm for all PC-Engine systems?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Special Versions?]

So what's the deal with the Special Versions PC Engine games? Anyone have any footage of these games?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / unbalanced sound through earphones on PC Engine GT]

I never noticed it before, but if I fully insert my headphones, I get low sound on the right, normal sound on the left. If I pull out the headphone plug about half way, it seems to come through both earphones equally. Is this normal?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB wireless receiver and/or controllers]

Post title says it all. Hit me up with what you got.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Lunar Silver Star intro totally rips off Ys']

I've heard so many great things about Lunar, and have tried to play it a few times on the Sega CD. But two things make me cringe and I can't get into it.

First, the vocals on the opening song are just embarrassing ("all through the night...."). It sounds so lame. The second is what a rip off the intro is. You can tell they used the Ys intro as a template (storming clouds lightening to start, red eyes then lighting that exposes monsters, etc). Check it out and see what you think.

I guess I'm wondering if I should give the game more of a chance. What do you think?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Super CD-ROM2 or original briefcase system wanted.]

I have an old briefcase model, but it's starting to wear out. So, looking for a complete Super CD-ROM2 system (the grey one with orange lettering) or original briefcase system. If you have one, or know someone who does, let me know. Thanks!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Easy to use HuFlashCard?]

I've seen a few here and there for sale, but there never seems to be a simple solution. Either the interface only works with some ancient Windows computer or things just simply don't work for one reason or another. Can anyone recommend a simple, idiot-proof Hu-based flash card?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Did Ys I & II come with a map?]

So, I bought Ys I & II back in 1991 and still have the same copy. While I didn't keep the outer box, I thought I had everything else complete. Recently I've heard that there was a map included with the disc, manual, case, etc. Did it? It's not like me to be throwing out maps and I seriously don't remember any sort of map, but then again, I am almost 35 and my memory isn't what it used to be... 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / First time the Turbo / PCE made your jaw drop?]

I'd have to say it was a demo of the Turbo CD on some public broadcasting channel. They had reps from Sega and NEC there to show off their respective systems. The fact that there was real voice and music was incredible in game. That, along with the Ys review in EGM made me have to get a Turbo CD.

Just curious, when did the Turbo or PC Engine stun you with it's brilliance?
