would anyone be able to provide a resource to help complete the final tower stage in Legend of Xanadu?  I'm stuck on statue 30 and can't get passed to the final two statues/areas.
Any info is appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I was currently playing through Legend of Xanadu using a guide I found on this site...i believe it was a re-typed one from a manually translated written guide.  Was super helpful and i think it went up to area/chapter 8 only....

I can't seem to find it anymore since I lost my bookmarks...can anyone direct me to a link or resource to help complete the game?  Thanks.

It's been a long time coming for this but I finally got my PC engine duo-r.  Thanks to everyone here for there help and knowledge, and especially to Mickris for referring me to Leon in Toronto Canada to handle my RGB mod.  He did a quality, professional job.  Very highly recommended if your in Canada.

Here's a pic of my current set up.

Games I have at the moment are:
Spriggan 2
Download
Dragon spirit
Ancient Ys book 1•2
R type Delta
Hell fire

They all bring back amazing gaming memories.  Does anyone have advice of how to play Ys?  Can you link me to a guide or do you reccomend playing with translation patch?

Thanks for sharing that vid Sunsteam Paul, I'll be reviewing it more in depth for sure because ...

I just purchased my first duo-r! 

Won it off eBay auction, not modded or anything from Japan.  Comes with street fighter and this babel game.

Very anxious now.  Hope there are no surprises.

Contemplating asking seller to ship seller to ship directly to mickcris or KC to have it rgb modded/serviced (if their available) or should I ship to myself first....thoughts anyone?

Need some advice doujindance had a duo-r for sale right now. It's been goin up and down off eBay.  I want my first investment to be a good lasting one.  I've read some feedback on forums.... should I wait for future opportunity on either ifu or duo-r? 

I def want rgb mod.

Honestly - it has to be crystalis.  It was my first action adventure RPG played and finished. 

I loved it because:
The story line was sick- just seemed to have no limits was vast and worldly. 
Tasks/side quests -  some were very puzzling/challenging, some logical, but when you completed them (in the right order) the payoff is well worth it - u get to teleport, u get to ride a dolphin, u  get meet Kensu/zebu...crazy gameplay!  Ahead of its time
The music - probably  best ever
Level up/battle system - 4 elemental swords, power boots, magic
Characters/graphics

If anyone loved it too let me know ur thots or games on pc engine that can trump it??

Quote from: guest on 10/27/2016, 01:59 PMRip your game using TurboRip, apply the patch using whatever instructions it comes with, burn a cdr of the resulting ISO, and have fun!

Or use google to find a pre-patched ISO, which is what this dumb robot does because he's too dumb to run the patch properly.
I had some problems doing it the correct way as well. It took forever to get it right.
Really!  I will definitely look into this.  Thanks man.

Hello, Hello,

Just introducing myself to the pcengine forums, I'm Tsavathay.  I'm Living in Canada and video games has always been apart of my life and growing up it was a special memory shared with my brothers.  Systems I played most and their memorable games off the top are;

NES - Crystalis, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade edition, Super Mario World, Metalstorm, Megaman series
SNES - Street Fighter 2 turbo, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Star fox, Killer Instinct, Axelay,
Sega Genesis - Phantasy Star Series, Strider, Earth Worm Jim, Aero Blasters, Golden Axe, Thunder Force, Mutant league football, Sonic
N64 - Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina Of Time, Killer instinct gold,
Playstation - FF7, FF8, FF10, FF Tactics, Xenogears, Saga Frontier, Breath of Fire, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter EX, Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, Raystorm

That was my video game golden years -  I'm older now and never was able to afford a turbo grafx/ pc-engine in those times.  The two games I was able to play and remember and still love to this day are Dragon Spirit and Bonk!  The rest I still need to discover...

I am savagely looking for either a IFU set up or a DUO-R RGB Modded system setup and would like to collect a modest but good quality collection of games.  I am here to gain feedback/info on specific titles and learn from everyone here, just by going by my consoles/games from childhood listed, feel free to pm me with any info regarding which PC Engine console variation and titles to consider.

Anything will help... PM me!

I intend to update my games acquired list to keep the convos going.
