[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: PC Engine LT, PCE games & misc]

Is the LT a Game Boy Advance SP for PC Engine?

Pretty much, except that it doesn't have a built-in rechargeable battery back and does run on regular batteries. It does however work with an IFU the same way regular core units do.

The screen was amazing for the time.

I have an LT but I don't recall there being a battery compartment since I was always envious of people that made rechargeable battery packs for theirs to play on the go while I was stuck playing mine near an electrical outlet.

Great game and raffle! I already own it so don't include me but kudos to you kind sir.

[General Gaming / Re: Drop Wizard, a Parasol Stars-like game for iOS]

Thanks for sharing! I love the Bubble Bobble/Parasol Stars franchise.

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2014]

I was one of the lucky guys to have an additional Secret Santa. Got a PC Engine magazine, Bazzy Pencil Case and greeting card from the United Kingdom. Thanks Superplay!



My Secret Santa decorated the shipping box with this cool Obey artwork (sorry for the fuzzy picture).



Santa (aka Medic_Wheat) gave me Skweek, Stratego, and a bunch of Christmas candy.



Also got these 2 pieces of Anime but I don't have a Blu-Ray player so I will be re-gifting the one on the left in the form of a raffle.

I'd like to thank my Santas (Superplay and Medic_Wheat) and Necromancer for hosting/organizing this event. 

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2014]

Penis Gummies!!! 

Mmm, look at the delicious RPGs Santa brought me.



Valkyrie Profile and Brave Story were even sealed.  Thanks, Hoobs! 

I asked, but did not adhere to the normal PCEFX rules of this, so, I almost followed the rules of this.... only I was not-so-secret, and cheaper, and not so random.

Interesting to see how others handle this, each year, though!

Uh, what?

What Hoobs found sealed PSP games?  I am having a hell of a time just finding them complete.


Why do I feel Amazon is the answer? Lol

My local "Video Game Castle" had a huge display case of PSP games. I didn't even realize they were sealed until I was packing them into the shipping box.

Cool raffle! Sign me up for the Sol Ring, please!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Best PC Engine / Turbografx controller: The Shuttle Controller]

My favorite controller for the system, anyone else have another favorite?

The Bee-otch pad is my favorite!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ninja Spirit vs. Shinobi 3 - An 8 year old's opinion :)]

On a side note, I also had him play Ninja Gaiden for the NES... he said it was fun, but the graphics were "kinda crappy" and it was "too hard and annoying".  Hahaha

You didn't have the PCE version of Ninja Gaiden?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Is this a rental item or salesman sample?]

I have one too, its molded inside for the controllers, console, booster and a few games. No foam

I have 2 different versions of this case...one has a molded inside and the other has foam.

[General Gaming / Re: Smash Bros Wii U thread!!]

I picked it up yesterday but haven't had a chance to play yet. Also got the gamecube controller for it but the adapters weren't available I love the Villager in the 3DS version. Do you know if he is available on this one too?

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

Just sold the whole shebang on eBay for about $500 total, which honestly is probably about how much I spent on the game as a kid in total.

I had no clue Dual Lands were worth so much. Holy crap. I remember as a kid we used to get PISSED when our rare card in a booster was a dual land, which in hindsight is hilarious. We all wanted that Lord of the Pit, baby!

I remember when dual lands were worth $5 and we would trade our extras for a BK meal. lol

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Coryoon Manual]

Talk real nice to sparky and maybe I could send him my manual and he could make a repro of it....

This would be amazing but I'm not sure how much interest there would be and if it would be enough to motivate sparky.  But, hey, who knows?  Post here if you would be interested in a Coryoon manual re-print

I recently picked up the Coryoon Chu card. Naturally, I would be interested in having a manual reprint to go with it.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Modless RGB and A/V Upgrade for TurboGrafx-16 and PC-Engine]

Hi guys, here's my latest creation - a sort of TurboBooster clone focusing video output for both TurboGrafx-16 and PC-Engine.

To be released very soon!

http://www.db-elec.com/home/News/dbgrafxboosterttptestedandfullyoperational

What will the price be for this?

[General Gaming / Re: Games you never finished?]

One game that I have never completed that I must get back to is Super Star Soldier.  If I remember correctly I when this was in the play pile I could shoot myself through to the later levels, however I hit the wall of no progression!

Another one that springs to mind is Neutopia 2.  Managed to get to the last section of the game and for some reason stopped playing.  Maybe work just got in the way of fun!

Also there is still Tatsujin in the same pile as well ;-)

I've gotten to the final boss in Neutopia 2 and haven't been able to beat him.

[General Gaming / Re: Games you never finished?]

I've got a lot of OBEY that's just too hard for me to beat (mainly shewties); there's too many to list.  There's also quite a few that haven't been given a fair chance yet, but I hope to get to 'em some day.

For PSP, most all of 'em have been cleared or not yet played.  The ones that I gave up on are few, namely Frantix, Bubble Bobble Evolution, and Dungeon Explorer (90+ hours in and maybe half way).

Can't remember if it was Bubble Bobble Evolution or the one for the Bubble Bobble for the Nintendo DS but they forgot to put the boss in one of the stages and you can't pass that stage.

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2014]

Count me in! I'll try to submit my wishlist over the weekend.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Memories: Best Of Japan box set...]

Got mine today! 10 of 100 apparently.

Mine arrived today too. 89 of 100

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Adaptors to use Duo Controller on TG16 still being made?]

First off...hi

Sorry to drag up an old thread (especially as this is my first post ) but my question is pretty relevant.

I've been searching for an adapter to allow my PC Engine pad to work on my TG16.

retrogamecave.com seem to be on vacation right now and that ebay cable is the opposite of what I need.

Anyone else have success finding this adapter/cable ?

Brian.

Just swap out the PC Engine for a TG-16 cable... There's 5 screws on the back of the controller and the cable swap doesn't require soldering.

[Off-Topic / Re: MotherGunner checking in!]

Sounds like Mother is a Father!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Brand New Dragon Slayer Sealed Mint ... What's it worth?]

There were a lot of new old stock copies floating around a few years ago for 50-60. It's not among the rarest turbografx games and is more common as a sealed game than a lot of others are.

I picked up one of these at that time along with some other members. I think one of them even had a video showing himself opening the sealed game.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Kaze Kiri]

Not that I want to steal the OP's copy, but how much is this game going for these days anyways?

I believe somewhere in the ballpark of a "Benjamin Franklin".

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Wtf!! Magical chase protype?]

Not a prototype.  Chop sells these.  He also sells Coryoon on the same chip. 

Is Chop still selling these? I've been looking for Coryoon and Magical Chase for a while now.

[Off-Topic / Re: Might and Magic III images]

Anyone have access to a couple images of the game.  Front view of the case opened perhaps?

I could probably provide photos later tonight after work (if Necromancer doesn't beat me to it).

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

The new Commander sets being mono-colored is a bad idea. They could have reprinted the filter lands but most definitely won't at this point. Not in that product, that is!

I don't hate the new layout of M15, something which bugged other people. The change from old frame to new frame was shocking to me (post-Masques), but the M15 layout change is minor.

A set I'm skipping altogether.

I actually like the new card face but I've always disliked the change on artifacts. They were best when they looked brown.


The new layout is ugly.   The newest layout, is worse.

Wizards is going retarded.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

Brown Santa just brought me Dragon Slayer 2 and Xanadu! sorry for the lack of visual evidence

Brown Santa lol

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Your new TG16/CD collection purchases for the month?]

Atlantean just arrived! The battery for my camera was dead so I need to recharge it but I'll provide a photo later.

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

Anyone play at M15 Game Day this weekend? I took 1st place at my local store with Naya Superfriends. I was surprised that the champion playmat didn't have Garruk on it. I think I'm gonna make the infinite turns shenanigans deck for next week's FNM.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Ane-San,BOMBERMAN 94 TAIKENBAN(SCD), Deden No Den]

I'm interested in Ane-San if you would be willing to break up the 3 games (since I already own the other 2).

[General Gaming / Re: OT: Does anyone else own a LaserDisc player?]

I have the NEC Laseractive System that plays laserdiscs as well as TurboGrafx games. I only have the Star Wars Trilogy and Back to the Future Trilogy on Laserdisc.

[Off-Topic / Re: New England Meet Up]

Nice! Wallingford is only about an hour away from me. I'm in!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Looking for Genesis/Mega Drive clamshell cases]

I think I have some empty clamshells from a flea market lot that I picked up a while back. PM me later as a reminder to see which ones I have.

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

I was only able to play in one 'flight' of the Prerelease.  I choose white and went 2-1 in three rounds - got totally mana-messed over in both games of my loss.

We had 40+ people in my 80-person flight choose black, and the store ran out...

I played in 5 flights...got 1st place in one of them and 2nd place in the other 4 flights. Chose Black in the first flight (pulled Liliana Vess). Red in the 2 Headed Giant flight (pulled Soul of Ravnica and Soul of Shandalar). Black again in the third flight (pulled Soul of Zendikar) took 1st place in this one with a Black/Green build that splashed Red for Burning Anger (so good!). Chose White for the 4th flight (pulled Nissa Worldwaker but couldn't play her since my card pool didn't support Green very well). Planned to play Green for the 5th flight but there weren't any left so I had a choice between Red or Blue so I went with Red again since Blue seemed very meh.

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

By the way, what color are people choosing as the best color for the M15 prerelease this weekend?  The black promo card looks awesome, but I've read good things about white, red, and green (not blue).

I haven't even seen what the promos are. Got a link to the site that shows them?

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

Is anyone going to the 2014 Comic Con in San Diego?

I would LOVE to be able to get this.

If anyone is going and can help me in getting one of these, please let me know.   

Looks like the San Diego Comic Con is going to be doing this every year. Last year's boxes were selling on ebay for around $700.

[Off-Topic / Re: Nintendo Power Magazine]

I used to have #1-50 but gave them away a while back. A friend of mine gave me a 1 year subscription a few years ago so I still have those 12 issues.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Do you have a Protocard?]

I have one...I'm too lazy to photograph it in my hand and leave a derogatory comment.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Silent Debuggers]

I have a spare loose one. PM me with an offer if interested.

[General Gaming / Re: Just got a 3DS. What are the must have good games?]

I was disappointed with Castlevania for the 3DS. Zelda was very good but didn't take long to beat. Cave story is another good one.

Are you talking about Mirror of Fate? I've never tried any of the newer Castlevania games. You wouldn't recommend it?

Yes, Mirror of Fate... I have almost every Castlevania game and I was looking forward to its release because Castlevania + 3DS seemed good. After playing it though, it couldn't hold my interest. It was simply inferior to the 2D platforms that we are all familiar with.

[General Gaming / Re: Just got a 3DS. What are the must have good games?]

I was disappointed with Castlevania for the 3DS. Zelda was very good but didn't take long to beat. Cave story is another good one.

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

Well, for FNM last Friday, I wanted to play Standard, because Grand Prix Chicago is this coming weekend, and I've been planning to go, so I wanted to get some Standard games in.  Unfortunately, I had no time beforehand to play/practice, so I ripped through my Dimir deck and turned it into my own version of mono-black (think Liliana and Squelching Leeches).  I got hosed 2-0, so I dropped just in time to join the Journey/Born/Theros draft.  I took second place, and I feel that I would have taken first if I had been more up on the rules.    (Basically Crystalline Nautilus is useless.  I had a Prognostic Sphinx, and I thought that Crystalline Nautilus would be safe to play on it, but alas, it was not.    )  Oh well, I won a few packs, and I got a copy of the cool foil promo card - Dissolve.

Is anyone here planning to participate in Grand Prix Chicago?

I'm not near Chicago but I was thinking of attending Grand Prix Worcester. It is Modern format so I was going to play my own version of Birthing Pod.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Raffle: Altered Beast and System 1.0 card]

Please sign me up! I'm pretty sure I've had this game on my Secret Santa wishlist for a few years now and always ended up getting something else.

[General Gaming / Re: Pics of your gaming set up!]

Nice setup! Where did you get the console tower from?

[Off-Topic / Re: Magic The Gathering: The trading card game]

So, who is going to draft Conspiracy this weekend?

I'm still trying to figure out Lore Seeker.  It adds a pack to the draft.  I completely understand the mechanics, but the question is who pays for the extra pack?  Since this format is non sanctioned, and prizes will be difficult to assign, since any 2-3 players should be able to knock any other single player out of the game, figuring out how to pay for extra Lore Seeker packs and who pays for them is quite confusing to me.  It anyone has any ideas, please enlighten me.

I am hoping that they have a rules insert in the box to elaborate on stuff like that (haven't checked the Wizards site yet to see if there is an FAQ). We'll probably make up our own "house rules" when we draft at my buddy's house tomorrow but when I go to local stores on Saturday & Sunday, they will need to be ready for those questions.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Original non turbo pc engine pads]

The screen is white when a hu card is inserted and the power is turned on.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Original non turbo pc engine pads]

I think I have one. I also have a non working TG-16 system that I was wondering if you could repair?
