[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / My TG-16 mug was featured, on a, "Retro", nostalgia type site]

I submitted this months ago, as in 2014,  to Dinosaur Dracula (Formerly X-Entertainment) when I heard he was looking for unique mugs, for an article;

Turns out, the TG-16 mug was popular. Years ago, could not give TG-16 away... almost. Now? Hot stuff.

[Off-Topic / He-Man in a horror movie?!?!?!?]

I didn't care for the first so much to buy a copy, but I did rent it,

The sequel, ABC's of Death 2, they chose smart.
Smart, in that they began their trailer for the sequel for what it would be like if you got sucked into your Castle Greyskull playset, and had to help out HE-MAN!

After the first 25 seconds, the clip is over. not available separate, at the moment, so I gotta link the entire trailer.

[Off-Topic / Surge cola is back for sale]

http://money.cnn.com/2014/09/15/news/companies/coca-cola-surge-return/index.html?iid=HP_LN

It's back for sale, 12 packs are for sale on Amazon. $14 USD.

I was never a fan of carbonated sugar water, but I did have a few of them when they were around, including other 90's oddball things, such as Orbitz, Cystal Pepsi, etc.

Surge, that's the one I notice MANY people talk about a lot. Due to High caffeine and such. Preferable to Jolt cola, for some.

[Off-Topic / Super Mario Bros. (1993) coming to BLU-RAY!]

I have not seen it in years, but I saw it when it was new, and I didn't think of it as a bad film, though not anything great. I thought it was goofy fun, for what it was, back in the early-mid 90s. It was one of those movies, where if  I caught it on TV, flipping through channels, I might leave it on, even if I wasn't paying attention to it 100%.

I notice there is a 60 minute documentary attached to this new release. John Leguizamo is mentioned, and it also mentions archive footage of Bob Hoskins. What I'm curious about, is if the documentary is going to be mostly positive, or if it will touch on some of what John Leguizamo mentioned about how one group wanted to make a film for older folks, the other more of a children's film. Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo drinking together on set while making the movie, since they knew it was going to turn out somewhat of a mess, anyway. etc.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KXWHCSI/

It's a Region B Blu-ray release, for the UK market, but it just may turn up in the US, Canada eventually due to this release.

The price is not bad, minus VAT, for importing, if one has the ability to play Region B Blu, or if one opts for the DVD version of this new release, ability to play region 2 PAL.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Last sealed Turbo Grafx game, or hardware, you opened]

I was thinking about this, due to the homebrew game Arkhan is putting out there.


For me, the last sealed game I opened, for the Turbo Grafx 16, was Super Star Soldier, in 2006 or 2007 or so.

I already had one, but someone I had been dealing with before, I knew had some sealed games. I was seeing what stock he had left, and asked about SSS, we agreed on $50. I opened it when it arrived, then sold off my more worn copy. I forget what was awkward about that one, the box may have been sunbleached, or crushed. Maybe the instructions were well-worn?

I know, "Collectard" is a thing around here now, but back then, I did stuff like that on occasion Things would even out, or I'd just end up spending an extra $10-$20 or so after I sold the other copy. Plus I liked opening the sealed SSS, because even back then, it wasn't too easy to come by. I think most would have left it sealed, so I at least saved that copy from entombment in shrink-wrap for who knows how long.

[Off-Topic / Menahem Golan (of Golan-Globus), dead at 85]

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/menahem-golan-producer-1980s-action-724260

If the above doesn't ring a bell, I am sure some of you also saw The Masters of the Universe movie when you were younger!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / What game led you to buy a TurboGrafx-16?]

I was thinking about this the other day, since I haven't posted here in a while.

When I was younger, early 90s, there was someone nearby who had a Turbo Grafx 16, and one of the games I really enjoyed was Bloody Wolf. He didn't like it much, or he'd had his fill of it, so it didn't get played often.

I already had an NES, Atari 2600. For that new group of 16-bit consoles, I got a SNES first. So, early on, if I played TG-16, it was at Toys R Us, Children's Palace, or this guy's house.

Sometime later, I bought a used Bloody Wolf Turbo Grafx 16 game for a reasonable price at that time - $6? $10? something like that. I bought it knowing in the near future I'd get a system for that game.

I remember, at the time I bought that Bloody Wolf game, I had already had a Sega Genesis for a while. I'd say no less than 3 months, no more than 12 months after getting that Bloody Wolf game, I bought a TG-16 system and some games for it. So for the "16-bit" consoles, I first had a SNES, then the Genesis, and lastly the TG-16.

So, while I was familiar with Bonk, that did not sell me on the system as much as when I played Bloody Wolf.

[Off-Topic / Book collector's neighbor steals $25k in books, ebays them.]

I saw this on the news this morning. Not video game related, but, it does relate to collecting things.

[High Score Records / 30-year-old Chicago woman sets Splatterhouse score record]

She set the record on the arcade version, but, in the article, it mentioned she got a TG-16 years ago when she was younger. Her dad bought it for her. One of the early games she had for it - Splatterhouse.

wayback.examiner.com/splatterhouse-chicago-woman-sets-new-arcade-game-world-record

October 21, 2013
The cult classic beat-em-up Splatterhouse has a new world record champion.

Caitlin Oliver, a 30-year-old Chicago native, achieved the new record score of 493,700 points on Saturday, October 19 while playing live at Windy City destination Galloping Ghost Arcade. Oliver's new mark, which was set during a live internet broadcast, shatters the previous record mark of 373,100 points set last year at the same location by Anthony Paparo, according to the Aurcade high score database. The score has been submitted to longtime world record adjudicators Twin Galaxies for complete verification.

Caitlin's new world record mark makes her the first woman in almost 30 years to set a world record on a video arcade game. It also marks the latest chapter in a longtime history with the Namco classic.

"I first got my hands on Splatterhouse as a young girl," she recalled. "My father picked up a TurboGrafx-16 for me one lucky Christmas and he was always good about letting me pick out a game to rent for the weekend at the local video rental stores. Once I got it home I was totally hooked. Gross monsters, corpses, skeletons; it had it all."

[Off-Topic / F__K ebay]

Mind my typos, I just awoke. Someone from here bougth somethign from me there, asked where I've been, here I am again. next time I decide to part with spare parts, and excess TG stuff, I think I'll go to this forum first, less BS. Ebay is so much more of a hellhole nowadays, for sellers. I hate wasting my time with crap like this;

Dear ____________,

Look at the invoice I sent you. it's is $13.50 for shipping. a flat rate, medium size, USPS box is $11. Delivery confirmation, another $.70. The rest of that fee, $1.30 is "handling". Not too excessive, I'd say. I'm very fair, i've been with ebay since 97 or so, though my name says 99 (I merged account, years ago). It's up to you, I sent you a very fair invoice. an extra dolalr and some change for me to pack things, use my fuel to drive to the PO, and to take time to ship it, not to mention ebay and paypal fees, Which I am eating, it's fair. Sorry about Gunboat, but, 2nd chance offers have never worked out for me, and I don't liek eating the 9% ebay wants to charge me for the sale if I don't file a non-paying bidder notice for said item. I am trying to be as fair as I can be, without losing too much money. Understand where I am coming from.

I would rather not, as it wastes my time. I would have to file a non-paying bidder claim, so ebay can return the fees for that item. After that, I would have to relist, and wait another week to sell this item. I have no luck with the second chance offers, either.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / For Sale; Sega CD System, in box. Barely used. Original owner.]

I bought this as the Sega CD was being phased out. This was after the 32X tanked. I recall buying this system for less than $100.00. Maybe only $50....

I used it on weekends, and for audio CD's, until I bought a DVD player for that TV. The system was boxed away in 2001 or so. I have brought it out 2 times since then, and it worked each time.

During the late 90's, I played this system not often, and when I did it was usually on weekends.

I have a JVC X'Eye, and I just recently found a home for my spare Genesis 2 model. So, without a Genesis 2, I decided now is the time to find a home for this Sega CD system.

Excellent condition, I can't find any scratches or blemishes. I always have (And continue to) care for my electronic purchases, video game or otherwise. It includes everything that was in the box, except for;

- The mixing cable (For older model Genesis).
- Tomcat Alley game.

Other than that, all the paperwork and such is there.

The box is damaged, however the ripped portion of the box is also included. I can't recall exactly how that happen.

Anyway, I'm looking for a good home for this system. Before going to ebay with it, I figured I'd list it here. I have no set price, other than buyer pay $16.00 shipping (Delivery confirmation).

I ship within the USA.

Offers accepted. Reasonable. PM me. If there is no interest by Friday, I will be listing this on ebay at $0.99, no reserve.

Other than finding one of these new, i don't think you can easily find a Sega CD in this nice of a condition. Especially being sold by the original owner.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Red Frog's "TZD", gone?]

I just noticed that tzd.com doesn't load to redfrog anymore, the domain is gone, and I don't even see redfrog online anyplace.

Did they already clear out the remaining TZD stock, and shut down?

I saw a thread on here mentioning they are no longer on ebay, but not much else. This thread here, https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=5528.15

 I've been out of the loop on pceningefx.com for some time, I'm curious what happened. It would be interesting to hear if TZD, after changing hands, has finally reached "The End".

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Hori Fighting Stick, for Neo Geo. Needs cleaning (I think...)]

I'm unsure what to price this at. The stick WORKS, however, the joystick is a bit slow to move. Not sticky, but just not smooth. It's not fun to play with as is.

I have other sticks, so I'm willing to let this go. SOLD AS-IS. Perhaps it needs a part replaced, or a simple cleaning. I don't know. All i know is all buttons, and directions work, except the stick doesn't move properly. I have other sticks, and I don't really need this one.

I'd say, send me an offer. I think this may be an easy repair. I paid at least $50 for this a few years ago, it arrived working in this manner, however it was too difficult to return, as I purchased it direct from Japan.

Item would be shipped either FCM or priority, with delivery confirmation.

PM a reasonable offer. I think all it needs is a cleaning, however I could be wrong. Sold AS-IS!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / 3 Turbo Grafx games for sale. New, shrinkwrapped.]

I have dealt with others on this board before. I also have 400+ feedback on ebay. I ship through USPS, either FCM or Priority WITH delivery confirmation.

All are brand new, with original shrinkwrap. No tears, all is OK. Games will be shipped inside a cardboard box.

The VHS is free to whomever wants it. Order a game, and I'll toss it in the shipping box for free. I purchased this 3 years ago, when I was playing through Efera and Julia (I think that was the game...), someone here told me this was based on the game, so I watched it.

Shipping for 1 game will be $5. Each additional is $2.00

Prices are;

SOLD - Bravoman - $20
SOLD - World Sports Competition - $10
- Addams Family - $20

PM me. I accept Paypal and money orders.

[General Gaming / For Sale: Beggar Prince, 2nd printing, Sega Genesis game]

ON HOLD - AWAITING PAYMENT


I've dealt with others through ebay, and a few times through this board. Nat was the last person I sold to (I think), and that was when he purchased a new JB Harold TG-16 game from me.

No paypal. Please send money orders or concealed cash (Fold it into a few sheets of paper, greeting card, etc).

I ship fast, and through either priority or first class, and ALWAYS with delivery confirmation/tracking.


For Sale:


- Beggar Prince, 2nd printing, Sega Genesis game.

I purchased this new, for $46.00. At the time, i did not know this version will not work with the X'Eye and CDX. I own an S-Video modified X'Eye, and that is what I leave wired to the television.

After purchasing Beggar Prince, 2nd printing, I loaded it onto a Sega Genesis model 2 to test, and after that I shelved the game. Later, a 3rd edition was printed, that functions with my X'Eye. I purchased that printing, as it would probably be the only way I'd play the game. Now, I don't care to hold onto this 2nd printing, I'd rather have some $$ for it.

All is in like-new condition. Only flaws are that one of the clips for the instruction manual snapped during shipping. It is still in the case if you care to glue it someplace. Also, the clear plastic cover has a few wear marks on it from placing it onto a shelf along side other Sega Genesis games.

I am asking for $36 for this game, and that includes shipping within the USA.

*** Also included, is a package of pens/pencils that were a freebie included with something i ordered sometime ago. So, I'm passing it alogn to someone else.

*** Not seen in the picture, I'm also including a new in box, Sega Genesis team-tap (4 player adapter).

[Buy/Sell/Trade / GONE: PS1 Asciiware Joystick (JOYSTICK DAMAGED?)]

GONE

The joystick is in nice shape, all of the buttons work, however the joystick sometimes gets stuck and/or won't move in a specific direction. I can't recall the exact quirk or which direction gave the issues.

I opened the stick to check the mechanism. It uses springs and such, not a plastic blister. This may be an easy repair if you have spare joystick parts.

This is free. Perhaps someone can repair this item. If no one is interested, this item will either be trashed, or sent to goodwill.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Efera & Jilora, HELP]

I've been playing this game off and on the alst few days. It was reccomended to me by someone on this board, when iw as looking for more ARPG's.

So far, it's been alright. It's no Neutopia, ahhaah.

I'm playing as Jilora.

I'm stuck. I figured out the maze of trees. Took a while, and I had to make notes of which side of each tree was "safe", other than that, no major problems.

After going through that maze, I made it to a castle (Enemies are knights, red shields and gold shields). Inside the castle was someone i spoek to in a room, and 2 chests. One chest had a sword that brought my attack up to 60, and the other chest, i forget what was in there.

I went into the tower. Navigated that maze, and the awful black-outs. I made it to a room with a dragon statue that spits 5 firebals every 2-3 seconds. To my right and left are spike walls closing in on me. I died here about 30-40 times. I figured that since the spiked walls flashed when i hit them, they must be what I need to destroy. The Dragon doesn't flash when i hit him.

After 30-40 deaths, I attempted to dash through the spikes (Special power equipped). Well, ti worked! Though, it seems to be a bug. At the moment, the spikes are closed in the center, the CD audio track has looped three times, and I have a weight on the attack button, attacking the other side fo the closed spikes. These spikes are not going anywhere, ahahha.

At the moment the caracter is still slashing away, however nothing is happening with those spikes.

Help me out. Did I miss an item? Should I equip a different sword? Something is wrong/missing...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Splatterhouse bootleg PCE game]

Then came the Hu-Card PC-Card label, which is actually a sticker.

It plays well, I've only gone through the first 2 levels, though during that time I didn't notice any glitching.

I notice there is a VERY large thread here, where a member has posted about 73 pages of reviews. There doesn't seem to be anything like that on the main pcengine-fx.com site.

That got me thinking.... are there any plans to add a game review section that certain folks could contribute to?

I'd very much like to see that.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / GONE! Two 3rd Party PS1 memory card, NEW. GONE!]

GONE!
I ordered what was advertised as an official PS1 memory card. I received a Pelican brand, 4X (60 block) PS1 memory card, with LCD screen.

I cannot use this card. My slim PS2 only accepts official Sony PS1 memory cards.

I read 3rd party PS1 memory cards will work in original model PS2's, however I cannot confirm this.

You should have no troubles with this card in an original PS1 system

The card is new, still in blister pack.

- also, I have an unused Hip Gear PS1 memory card that is also included.

Due to the low cost of this item, an exchange with whome I purchased these items from would not be worth my time. So, I am lsiting them here!

 I will ship these items for free within the USA only.

I may open the blister packing on the Pelcian card when I ship, in order to place it in a smaller shipping contatiner.

If interested in these 2 cards, please PM me. The first PM I receive will receive the cards.

GONE!

[Off-Topic / 7-11 a few miles away is a Kwik-E-Mart]

Tonight, someone who had a cellphone camera shared pics with me of the 7-11 converted to a Kwik-E-Mart.

They told me it was in Bladensburg, MD. iI knew where that was, off Kenilworth Avenue!  One of the first things I said after announcing I'm familiar with that location was, "Why there?" hahahaha.

As it was coming to me, someone pointed out a lot of traffic goes INTO and OUT of DC through that road.

It's interesting. I was already planning to visit the Arcade at the nearby mall (Beltway Plaza. Greenbelt,Maryland) in a week or so to defeat The Simpsons Arcade game. I defeated TMNT Arcade game in an arcade, however I have never defeated The Simpsons inside an arcade. I have not seen that arcade game in YEARS. It now all makes sense why that arcade brought back that cabinet (Other than Galaga and lethal Enforcers, it's probably the oldest game in the arcade).

So, now I have a day set aside, where I will probably get my fill of 2 Simpsons related thigng. Dump $20 into the token machine at Beltway Plaza, which should be more than enough to play through The Simpsons arcade game, then go on over and snap a few pics of the 7-11/Kwik-E-Mart in Bladensburg, since it is due to return back to a 7-11 at the end of July.

Wild stuff, considering the next closest "Kwik-E-Mart's" are in Orlando and New York city.

I have not watched the show in a year or so, decent show. However, the Arcade game is of more interest to me at the moment. The 7-11/Kwik-E-Mart is just the extra interesting site, 3-5 miles away! http://www.nbc4.com/news/13603133/detail.html

[Off-Topic / The postman wonders about my packages from Asia.]

I felt the need to share, as this led to a bit of laughing yesterday, and moreso at this moment today.

Lately, I've been tracking down certain games, and sometimes for certain PC Engine and Neo Geo games I have to order from Japan, Hong Kong, etc.

Yesterday a package arrives I have to sign for. I'm home, so I go to the door, accept the package, and look it over, I say, "hold on, let me see where this is from". The postman says, "TOKYO! Japan". He puts emphasis on the Tokyo, almost in an accent.

Oh, my postman is of "Asian Descent". 30's or so.

As I'm signing, he asks if he may ask a question about my packages, and that I do not have to answer, it is just him being curious/nosy. I chuckle and tell him to go for it. He mentioens he notices a lot of packages lately from Japan and such, and was curious if I operated my own business.

I laugh, and say no... no... hahhaha These packages are not related to a business.

I ask if he had heard of Neo Geo. He shakes his head and says Yes. I explain that I recently got into the Neo Geo Arcade carts, and that I buy and trade carts with others. This package has a Neo Geo arcade cartridge inside. Cheaper than tracking it down in the US, sometimes. He mentioned somethign about Japan games working in the US, and how that sometimes doesn't work. (Something like that, my memory is a bit foggy). I continue, and explain that the guts of the carts are the same, it is the hardware that determines the language, so I can buy Japan carts and have English Language.

I told him not to worry, it will slow down soon. He laughed, and said it's no problem.

Funny stuff. I mail-order lots of stuff; dental floss, DVD's, VHS, games, books, power tools, etc.

Yeah, quite the nerd I can be...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Fray SCD. Help, I'm stuck in a town]

Earlier this morning I had some time, noticed I didn't lose my saves due to having the system modded, and decided to spend a bit more time with Fray.

I am at the town after you defeat the Squid. I've done much of what appears to be needed done. Some person fell out of the sky, the item shoppe now sells items (health, etc). I've talked to everyone I've encoutnered. I think i msut need a certain item, I'm not sure.

In the upper left corner there is a group of 4 characters, one gives me an optional answer; this or that. I have a feeling not being able to exit the town has to do with that somehow. I've chosen both answers, then talked to all characters agian, still nothing

I ran a quick search, I didn't locate any walkthrough for this game. Isn't much surprising, since these towns seem to only be there to purchase weapons and ehalth.

Help.

[General Gaming / Looking for the name of an arcade game]

Figure it's worth asking here.

There is a game I recall from the arcades. It is difficult for me to place when this game was released (late 80's, early 90's), however I would have to overshoot and say it was released no later than 1993.

What i recall about the game, was it was at least 2 players, possibly 4. It was somewhat fantasy based, but a sidescrolling action type game. Graphics were early 90's, late 80's. it had powerups enemies would drop.

The only level I recall involved walking into a castle/tower. Once inside, you climbed this spiral staircase, with the edge of the tower scrolling in the background as you climbed the "stairs". After a while a dragon, or some flying creature starts becoming visible through the windows you pass during your climb. Eventually, you reach the dragon, etc, etc. I didn't hang aroudn that game much,a s there was a crowd, and other folsk were already ahead of me ready to dump in their change shoudl one of the other players feel like dropping out.

I can't recall what this game was, however it was pretty popular when I saw it and had quite a crowd wathcing the other players. Upon returning to that arcade, I found the game was gone. This arcade was on the small side, it had 40 games or so, and would rotate them often unless it was a big money maker.

I never caught the name of this game.

I've looked through the KLOV site, and not found any leads. Definately not Cadash.

Any help is appreciated.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Fray, PC Engine SCD game]

Anyone play this game all the way through, or at all?

I purchased ti on a whim, as it appeared to be a Neutopia type game.

So far, I've played through what I'm guessing was the intro. It took a moment for me to figure out the timing of the jumps and how to avoid being crushed by the boulders (Had to power up the weapon).

I found myself laughing toward the character interaction as I was lost as to what was going on, this character finds a statue, and the head falls off, and a dragon pokes out of the water, then the rest of the statue falls into the water! The dragon attacks, and I fight it. Soon after that, I'm in a town.

I recognize "Inn", I figure out that it costs money to save.

It was an interesting 20 minutes or so.


I'm posting this topic because I'm curious:

- How long is this game? 12 hours?
- Is the path fixed, or is there some open exploration?

- Night Creatures - Formal rental, but in great shape, loads fine. The art on the card is in one piece. The case in in great shape, however the spine label is sun bleached. The Manual is a bit worn, though no bent corners, a rental sticker for C-Vue Video (Brooklyn, NY) is on the back of the manual. The box is in decent shape, it's square however the former shrinkwrap had squeezed the box and it is a bit caved in on each side.



- Pac-Land - Great shape, loads fine. Art on the card is in one piece. The case is in great shape, no fading of the spine. The manual is read, but nothing is bent, still pretty sharp. The box is in great shape, however there are a few pieces of scotch tape towards the top of the box which were placed where rips started to occur.




- Lords of the Rising Sun - CD is in perfect shape, not even a minor scratch. Case in in great shape, the rear art is in one piece. The Manual is read, but nothing is bent, still sharp. The map is read, though it has a few marks/indentations from the CD door tabs when the case was closed on it. The cardboard box is in great shape, however there is some sticker residue in the lower right corner. It isn't sticky, just leftover bits of paper sticker. You may be able to pick them off.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Reputable places/people installing S-Video,etc on Duo's?]

It's pretty easy to have a Neo Geo, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Atari 2600, etc modded with S-Video. I know of at least 2 different sources for each of those systems.

I would really like to have S-Video on my Duo-R, however I'm not about to tackle it myself and foul something up. The Duo isn't as cheap as a genesis!

Anyplace else offer this S-Video mod? I asked Old School Gamer (Canada) about the mod, they said they only install region switches on those systems. D-Lite I've contact about 3 times the past 9-12 months. So far, every 3-4 months I send him an e-mail asking him if he is performing this mod. No response so far, though I did just send out another e-mail today, perhaps that will receive a reply...

Looking for someone to point me in the right direction.

[Off-Topic / Article that mentions NEC's counterfeit discovery in 2004]

I read the article in a magazine. Good article. Pretty wild stuff, and it's somewhat related to Turbo Grafx/PC Engine!

What I found most wild about the NEC mention, was that the bootleg NEC folks were licensing out technologies, had NEC business cards, etc. It all looked very legit.

Small part of the article here, http://www.newscientisttech.com/channel/tech/mg19426001.800-foolproof-fingerprints-the-counterfeit-killers.html

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / How long does it take for Multimods.com to reply to e-mail?]

I gather some folsk on this board have dealt with the person at this site.

I sent one e-mail earlier this year, I didn't receive a response, my attention floated elsewhere, and I never got around to e-mailing the person again.

Lately, my attention is back towards multimods.com, I only sent an e-mail yesterday, however, I'm curious how long does it generally take for multimods to address e-mails?
