[Off-Topic / Is anyone here in touch with member: Cozzie]

I am looking for a member called cozzie and I am hoping that someone here may be in touch with him or at least have an old contact email address for him! I have sent him a couple of PMs but no response. He last signed in here on Oct 2006!

Thanks.

Is anyone in touch with the original creator (cozzie) of this post or have his email address? I have been sent him a number of PMs however he hasn't signed in since Oct 2006. Any info would be great! Cheers.

.. the best game available under 20 bucks.

Thats a whole new thread!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Top 10 Best PC Engine HuCard games]

See, some interesting lists and some games (which I won't mention) that I wouldn't give the time of day are appreciated by others!

Whats the saying again: One mans meat is another mans posion?

Thats why the PCE (ok, and Turbo) rocks - so many games and so much choice!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Top 10 Best PC Engine HuCard games]

Hanatakadaka (so many ways of spelling it) is excellent - cutesy graphics and great tunes (which Taito are very good at). Some parts of the gameplay are very original - for example, there is one level which I remember where it switched from being left-right shooter to right-left - simple and effective and hints that the developers were trying to be a bit original which I like.

OutRun if like me you played at the arcades when I was younger back in late 80's is not quite the arcade however still a very good port and listenining to the music is enough to remind you of the good old days!

SF2 needs no explanation. Tatsujin is an awesome shooter - perhaps on par with Soldier Blade!! But it is difficult as hell, arguably the hardest shooter on the engine. Another is rather hard to track down and costs a pretty penny.

Magical Chase also doesn't need an introduction - a cutesy shooter, great graphics and tunes.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Top 10 Best PC Engine HuCard games]

Yeah well I am glad GunHed came out on top... the original shooter when RED were on top of their game. I would say it was only surpassed later on with Soldier Blade but GunHed was and will always remain #1 and rightly so!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Top 10 Best PC Engine HuCard games]

Probably didn't feature on the final list as most people haven't played it due to it being a limited IREM release and a high price tag. Shame really. One of the most original games ever to be released!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Top 10 Best PC Engine HuCard games]

Ahh only looked at the results which looked like Turbo games.

I guess posting that in the Turbo area would bias against turbo owners?? Certainly you named them all using the US names.

Personally I can't believe Gekisha Boy didn't even feature in the Top 25!! An outrage I tell ya! No Coryoon? And no Bomberman??

Hmm. Very Turbo-centric if you ask me!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Top 10 Best PC Engine HuCard games]

Ahh but that was for the TurboGrafx!

This one is for the PCE

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Top 10 Best PC Engine HuCard games]

PCE Hucard only! NO Supergrafx, TurboGrafx, ACD or SCD etc. I did this on another forum and got some interesting responses. The 10 best PCE Hucard games (they don't need to be your favourite).

Here are mine:

1. Magical Chase
2. Coryoon
3. Parasol Stars
4. Soldier Blade
5. PC Denjin
6. Tatsujin
7. Gekisha Boy
8. Outrun
9. Hana Taka Daka
10. Street Fighter 2

Even with 10, it is really difficult. There are sooooo many good card games on the engine. The skill and talent required by developers back then when card size was limited to just 3-4 megabits (~500kb!!) in most cases and to come up with the games as good as those above, is frankly remarkable.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Duo-RX 6 Button Pad Accessory]

Well I would consider paying $70 for a new one with box simply due to their rarity, so $50 would seem fair. Otherwise, "get the Avenue Pad, it's cheaper blah blah" ;)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Duo-RX 6 Button Pad Accessory]

I hope I find that pad someday  I may have to buy an rx to get it though, haha. 

There is a brand new one available for sale here - no box however!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Duo-RX 6 Button Pad Accessory]

Found it! Looking at the box and I do now remember definitely having this brand new. Unfortunately I also remember selling it



Does anyone have a picture of the box for the original white PC Engine pad sold separately as an accessory??

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: 1992 PC Engine game of the year]

without a doubt, Tatsujin

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Duo-RX 6 Button Pad Accessory]

Yeah, found the link that was mentioned above. Model #: PCE-TP1, with an original cost of approx. USD$30.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Duo-RX 6 Button Pad Accessory]

lol.

Yeah well judging by most peoples posts it seems to exist as an accessory albeit it's very rare! I definitely remember having the RX pad years ago (I've never owned the actual RX console) but don't remember if I had a box for it or not.

Seems to be as rare as the GT Power Pack!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Duo-RX 6 Button Pad Accessory]

I have been looking for the NEC's official 6-button RX pad BRAND NEW/BOXED - I used to own a brand new one about 4 years ago but I can't remember whether NEC ever made this as an offical boxed accessory or was it only ever available if you purchased the console?

I've googled but can't find any information that it was available as a standalone accessory. Any help would be much appreciated.

(ps please don't turn this thread into "get the NEC Avenue one - its better blah blah" )
