oh I bet some people would be willing to trade you that spine card for a manual hehe

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Korean Vistar (Vistar-16): Does anyone here actually own one??]

I was talking to Cabbage at the new chatroom and he said he has one. He's an american working in Korea right now. He said the Vistar is pretty rare even in Korea and the one he found looks to be a display unit. I asked him if he would take some pics for us and he said he'll see what he can do.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Could a TG-16 TV game be successful?]

aren't those things mostlt for party games where you would hook it up when you have friends over so probably games like Bomberman, Cratermaze/Doraemon

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbografx arcade system?]

damn that second went up to almost $400!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Darius Alpha]

hmm most of us aren't big money collectors here so this might be a  tough sell but if even Tats says this is a steal price then maybe you can throw it up at ebay if you are lucky you might even end up getting a bidding war going and end up getting more for it!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: like NIB TG-16 set with about 45 games FOR SALE!!!!]

yeah the games and the tg16 console are all priced very reasonably!

[PC-FX Discussion / Re: Angelique: Requiem of the Heavens]

everytime I see the title of this game it reminds me of her:

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What's the difference between the Core Grafx and Core Grafx II?]

http://www6.airnet.ne.jp/wataru/pce/pce_mech.htm

PCエンジンコアグラフィックス (PI-TG3) 1989年12月発売
Core grafx December 1989

PCエンジンコアグラフィックスII (PI-TG7) 1991年6月発売
Core crafx II June 1991

Looking at the prices of all those pce hardware back in the day it's crazy the LT was actually more expensive than the Laser Active!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What's the difference between the Core Grafx and Core Grafx II?]

another difference is price. When the CGII came out the retail price is much lower than when the CG first came out. Same with the Duo/R/Rx

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

I believe the game is in black and white and like most of the scd/acd titles the arcade card most likely would just shorten the loading time.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Need: Briefcase unit]

oh I thought the LT can fit into the white pce/CG/CGII slot in the briefcase unit?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: pc engine with region mod]

yeah for a modded PCE $55 shipped is probably as good as it's gonna get especially coming from a US seller and a trusted forum member at that!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hate last minute bidders on ebay.]

I use Yayhoo.Japan since there is no such thing as bid sniping and tool-bidding.

its worth the fees usually

Do people on here normally ship outside of Japan?

I believe most sellers on Yahoo Japan do not ship outside of Japan so most guys not from Japan would bid with a mail forwarder's address so they will end up having to pay for shipping twice plus service charge by the mail forwarder.

[Off-Topic / Re: So my car was broken into...]

omg this reminds me of that forum member who mentioned that his LT was stolen from him some yrs ago. Man that would really hurt me if my LT was stolen from me! hehe

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC engine LT owners where are you?]

the picture quality is much closer to a tv than the gt!

[Off-Topic / Re: So my car was broken into...]

As a victim of physical assault a few yrs back I can totally relate to what you said about you "not having it coming to you". The worst part for me was that the guy ended up being my neighbour from across the street but my roommates really didn't want me to go to the cops because I was moving out of the country in a few days and they were afraid they might have suffer some level of retaliation once I have left so I didn't.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Need: Briefcase unit]

I think forum member coolmod said he has a bunch of them with the broken cdromrom so if you don't need the cdromrom maybe you can talk to him. He's in the US  too I believe.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC engine LT owners where are you?]

I've never seen an LT in real life. How does the screen compare to a GT screen?

The screen is bigger and also has better resolution than the GT. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that basically the GT's resolution can only show 65% of what the pc engine is actually capable of and the LT is at 90%?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

Get a TG and never before seen game for it.  (Not gouging, just funny)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TURBO-GRAFX-16-GAME-SYSTEM-AND-GAME-/220889188904?pt=Video_Games&hash=item336e058a28

what was that game that was included in that listing? which system was it for even?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Kid Friendly PCE titles]

yeah Niko Niko Pun was specificially designed for kids although I dunno if 6yo might be too old for it even. You basically just choose from 3 cutesy characters and go from start to end in a level and you can't die but it has nice music and the manual is actually a fold out poster for the kid's room.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hate last minute bidders on ebay.]

Also with bidding on auctions alot of times people end up bidding more than they were going to in the begining because towards the end of the auction they kinda feel like "well I already have this much in I might as well go this much more" so bidders alot of times end up going into bidding wars. There's been a number of times where I listed an item as BIN at a certain price and it didn't sell then I would list it as an auction and the auction would end up going for more money than my original BIN price.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: If you could only keep one single PCE game...]

for me it would have to be Drac X with its amazing graphics and music, 2 playable character and multiple possible game route I am sure I'll never get sick of playing it!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC engine LT owners where are you?]

man sorry to hear that your LT was stolen from you. I know how much joy my LT brings me whenever I turn it on so I can imagine how crushed I would be if it's taken from me! On a side note if you ever want to get rid of your box and manual I would be interested since I got mine loose!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Japanese 20th Anniversary Famicom Edition Game Boy Advance micro + Games (Mint)]

hmm is it just me or the OP reminds you guys of someone?

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

haha it looks like something my mom used to own in the 80s hehe

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hana Taka Daka ... did I get a good deal?]

I think that's a pretty sweet deal for that game especialy considering the fact that that game doesn't pop up for sale that often.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

good thing this type of grading systems is only for the TG16/Turbo CD stuff and not the Japanese PCE stuff.....unless the 85% new grading system starts to catch on hehe

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

Ys I&II complete is starting at $599.99, get in before the bids get out of hand 

Seller also has Cadash for $299.

...looks like all I can afford is the the Might and Magic poster...   

haha looks like his logic is that Ys 1&2 must be worth more money because there are 2 games in one! hehe

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What Turbo-Inspired Cartoon would you wish for?]

Valis could have been a great anime serie. I can see the tagline in the US: "She's a school girl by day, She-Ra by night!" hehe

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Never seen or heard of this before...]

yeah looks like he just added a vid of his own he made with probably a crappy phone cam but funny how he said it was tested and working but he never even opened the plastic wrapping that whichever retro gaming store he bought from wrapped the box with hehe

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: New, Boxed CD-ROM2 System]

wow that's pretty sweet you should get  it anyways cause these IFUs are common loose and in various degree of rough shape but boxed and in like new/brand new condition doesn't come by every day plus the bonus CIb CGII too! Although one thing is the cdromrom  tends to have a really high failure rate tho and I would have reservation buying it untested but hey if the price is good it might be worth it just to get the box hehe

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: PCE/TG-16 games]

well the pce library is pretty big so you kinda have to be specific about which games you want instead of letting us know which ones you already have.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Never seen or heard of this before...]

omg those thieving ebay gougers! you should complain to ebay and get that listing removed!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New Duo Owner: Drop Your Knowledge On Me!]

my feeling abourt cd-r is this: if you know that there's the most remote chance that cd-r would cause some level of harm to your precious duo/r/rx/IFU why would you still use it!?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Region modded Duo-R]

hmm what happened on craigslist? We love to hear stories like that!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Is PC Engine hucard game "Saint Dragon" worth buyi]

damn 2004 that was like 10 lifetimes ago!! hehe

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Introducing myself - Robknoxious1]

wow you had Drac X back in the day? you must have been like a Superstar back then! ;)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Four PC Engine games for sale]

as I was recently in Japan I can say that these prices are crazy good even in Japan standard let alone from a US seller and such an awesome guy at that!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Emerald Rocker's "blame that jerk who screwed me" rockin' PC EVE sale]

yaeh some really good games here City Hunter has also been harder and harder to come by in recent yrs

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hooked on HuCards]

wow lucky guy being able to buy all that pce goodies in a month! before you go you probably should buy some extra pads and sticks and any hardware if you can find a good deal on like a shuttle/LT/SGX. As for what you said about cd games is it because you haven't gotten to the really good ones yet like Drac X/Spriggan/Nexzr?  but yeah for sure the hucard being as small as it is it sure has the ability to output some awesome game play like Solider Blade, PC Denjin!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Pc engine fan magazine and pc engine accessories]

most of those items you listed are hard enough to find loose as it is today it's gonna be near impossible to find them boxed and in good condition.....the most likely person who can help you is Thibaut as he has his connections to find super minty stuff although he will also charge you  a fair bit of them tho

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: 16bit's Collection for Sale: PCE Duo, PCE Games, and more]

Buy with confidence guys 16bit is an awesome guy to buy from

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

ope did you get that from lingjr from ebay!? is it 85% new? hehe

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: I am Looking for Might & Magic 3 US Turbografx - Rare Trade Item]

yay congrats!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: English friendly PCE games?]

was wondering if any other ideas popped up?? I was thinking of the Carman Sandiago game. I really want to give that a try if it has an English option.

Carmen Sandieago on the PCE is good although a little on the short side tho

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

Chis no Buken is a good game.  Don't know why it gets such a bad rap.

yeah I enjoy that game too alot of people complain about the weapon which I don't mind at all the only thing I don't like is the time limit it can be very unforgiving there were times I literately ran out of time by half a second! hehe

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS : Lots of games + Magical Chase]

wow the box and the manual for that MC are super minty but it didn't come with a jewel case?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Rayxanber II CHALLENGE!!!]

haha I wonder if Tfan had gotten rid of it yet maybe this will give him a reason to stick it out and finish this game for good hehe

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Man, these seller's games have seen some serious gaming (or Combat)]

oh remember a while ago someone on CL said they were selling a bunch of TG16 games they won from an estate sale maybe these are those games these games literately went to hell and back hehe

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2011]

Can we find out who the SS is this year? Never found who was mine, was in Japan but that is all I know. :-)

hmm let's just say I was the only overseas participant last year
