Hello,

PC Engine newbie here checking in from France (although I'm from the UK).
Retro gamer following mainly Megadrive and Neo Geo, and after hearing so many good things about PCE, I bought a Duo R this week.  :dance:

Warning: lot's of newbie questions will follow.  ](*,)

Welcome, comrade. :)

We will be happy to answer all of your questions.

:)

 :P

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the community.

Thanks guys

Got it last night and very very happy. Came with a Super CD and a normal CD (gradius 2, rayxanber 2).

Any tips for a beginner for some essential budget titles I should start with? Not the biggest fan of RPGs. Platformers, shooters, beat em ups, etc are my cup of tea. Games like Splatterhouse too.

Cheers!! ;)

Gradius II and Rayxanber 2 are great, but challenging (as I'm sure you may know).

So, that's nice couple of games to have already.

I'm too lazy to say anything other than GOMOLA SPEED.

welcome

Brill, I'll look out for it.

I ended up getting these when I went shopping earlier:

GENPEI TOUMADEN 2 is new in plastic.

^ Genpei Toumaden 2 (Samurai Ghost in North America) is a quirky little title, which many folks get into when they familiarize themselves with the parry/block mechanic, so a good pick.

Welcome

I played them all a little over the weekend. I love the music on Genpei Toumaden games  :-"
I ended up completing Street Fighter II with my two-button pad. :)

Agreed! I went the MVS way, and even there it is sky high! I have seen some expensive games on the PCE. I keep reading "Dracula X is the BEST game ever", so when I try to find one, I cry. ;)

Picked up the following:

Splatterhouse
Double Dragon II
Hellfire S
Parodius
