[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / So, what's the deal with Exile 2?]

I bought this on release when I was in high school. My memory is foggy but I am 90% sure I finished the game back then. But after reading the article on HG101, I doubt it. [I've drank since then, hence the fog] I recently played through the original Exile and had an amazing time. So, naturally I decided to keep the ball rolling and dive right into E2.

What I was greeted with was an immensely difficult, frustrating game that honestly felt like a step backwards. What gives?!

No maps, you have to track through the sidescroll levels to travel between cities. [if it ain't broke?], also noticed that it seems 1 in 3 healing tonics actually poison me. "that tonic tasted funny"

More than one [so far] of Working Designs topical jokes thrown in for no damn reason.

WHAT HAPPENED?!

Is the Japanese version easier? Did WD actually mess with the game code and change up the game? Is there a story behind this game's localization?

update: I read the HG101 article on this game I just found that answers all:

still remember when Sylphia SCD was selling at $90..................

Reminds me of when Ketsui kits were $200 -sigh-

I am excite!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What Turbo game are you currently playing?]

I played a fair amount of Exile [which I am playing through again] and Dragon Egg. I was a little disappointed in Dragon Egg.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: It only took me 13 years to put together my very first TG16 CD setup ...]

awesome read, congrats on getting it all set up! I got a US Duo from a friend and sold my TGCD stup w/sys card 3.0 to retrogames way back when for like $140. Always regretted that move.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Sylphia [complete, no spine]]

A good shooter IMO... when you get it be sure to search for the thread on the hard rock remix tracks someone made for it.  You rip the original and replace the audio tracks and burn.  Its an excellent alternative soundtrack for it.

no kidding?! That sounds awesome! I might do that with a burn, I'm just jones'in for a real version.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Sylphia [complete, no spine]]

I know, I know...

If someone has one they'd like to let loose...hit me up. Paypal ready to rock.

If you like Fire Emblem hunt down Louga 2!

[Off-Topic / Just bought...]

Full size replica!

Full Moon does their yearly Halloween sale where everything is deeply discounted. Couldn't resist.

Anyone else here a full moon fan?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE Software Bible updates]

+1 for thanking Paul. I look at the site at an almost daily basis. Love it.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: SGX shmup prototype]

very impressive to see all the scrolling and colors together! Could be amazing. I think a super polished, homebrew shmup for SGX would be rad as hell.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine has my heart...]

it's a helluva drug

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ju O Ki (Altered Beast) Sucks]

All versions of Altered Beast suck. 

hahaha QFT

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Superiorities of PCE games vs. the others?]

I definitely preferred the sound, even over SNES.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE Golden Axe]

i'd be for a double case.

the very goodie and the uber baddy

I also love this idea.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE Golden Axe]

sidenote, in terms of a professional run of these:

I think if the disk gets pressed professionally, then we can all just swap the disk in our Golden Axes.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE Golden Axe]

I want to throw my entire wallet at this!!!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Valis III manual misprint]

errors in printing and cutting are not uncommon. especially if they used cheaper vendors.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: MOTO ROADER MC]

not a fan of MC...it feels like a demo off an Ultra Box disk or something. No cutscenes...no character. The cover is misleading.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Basted]

If you don't like it or beat it and want to sell it let me know, I've been wanting to play this one.

You got it, man

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Basted]

found!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Wtb: core grafx 2 console]

An excellent way to start. Countdown to folks demanding you to buy CD-ROM hardware in 3, 2, ...

Core2 + Everdrive is just about near eternal fun

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Anyone want to sell me Dead of Brain 1&2?]

Yarr, that ain't bad.  Now if only the English translation would get completed....   

i knooooowwww! I'll be trudging through with a printed FAQ....slowly.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Compendium of walkthroughs for PC Engine RPGs]

Anyone know of a FAQ for moonlight lady?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB Basted]

Anyone have a spare?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Anyone want to sell me Dead of Brain 1&2?]

Score!  If ya don't mind me asking, how much did it end up setting you back?

About $185 shipped. Not terrible.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Anyone want to sell me Dead of Brain 1&2?]

acquired!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: * Rare Large Sale - crazyhosipital, gekisha boy, deadofbrain etc]

some killer prices there!

[PC-FX Discussion / Re: About bishoujo janshi Idol pai]

I have to bump this, as I was considering dropping cash on this game and in my searches came across this thread...which is amazing. Sidenote: who here has this game? I love mahjong and know how to play. I also do not fap to mahjong games....often

I know the games express games are supposed to be on the "budget" side? I'm wondering if I will be disappointed in this one. How does it compare to saw a Mahjong Sword?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Anyone want to sell me Dead of Brain 1&2?]

-sigh-

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Core II rear port cover]

anyone have a spare?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Anyone want to sell me Dead of Brain 1&2?]

What's it going for on ebay nowadays?  When I got mine about three years ago, a few sold in the ~$150 range.

Probably closer to $200 these days I think. I missed one recently on ebay for $180 BIN though :sadface:

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Anyone want to sell me Dead of Brain 1&2?]

Yeah... good luck with that....

For a second i thought i was on the neo or shmups forums. I expect better from here.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Anyone want to sell me Dead of Brain 1&2?]

reasonable price

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Anearth Fantasy Stories]

Sold

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: Anearth Fantasy Stories]

Complete, no OBI. Map/poster thingy and manual are in good shape. Map/poster has some wear.

I accidentally bought two copies of this one.  Great game, btw. Slowly making my way through it with the FAQ.

I think I paid $40+ shipped for it. Anyone here want it for $25 shipped in the US?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Cotton for PCE]

Complete. No OBI necessary.

Hit me up!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Anyone want a loose HuCard of Order of the Griffon?]

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Anyone want a loose HuCard of Order of the Griffon?]

$10 PP gift and I'll drop it in the mail for you

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: SGX - semi complete set of games]

my price is right in that neighborhood. thanks. Rather keep it otherwise, excellent game.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Sexy Idol Mahjong]

Not selling mine but yeah, it's one of the trickier ones to find cheaply. It plays quite a bit differently than most of the other Nichibitsu mahjong games but other than the topless rock, paper, scissors parts and a very tiny bit of video there's not much to it. Hold out till you find it at a bargain price.

will do. thanks! Yeah, it's proving very difficult to snag.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: SGX - semi complete set of games]

I really want that GnG. Sadly, my money must go elsewhere these days.

I really want 1941, but that's eBay prices.  And I'd have to hibernate to afford it right now.  Gotta get my overdraft down.

not sure I've ever seen one on ebay under $200 shipped

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Sexy Idol Mahjong]
