I can donate both my nuts if you send the TG-kiosk to Sweden.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Different PCE units, and some pirates?]

So TG/PCE was sold in France?

The PCE was imported in France by Sodipeng, which is a shortened form for "Société de Distribution de la PC Engine." They also sold a few accessories of their own making.  Follow the link above to learn more about them and to see a ton of their old adverts.

Yeah, it was a lot of old nice advertising here!

OK shubibiman I see!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbografx (PAL, European) 50 or 60 Hz?]

I will not buy one, I was just wondering about 50/60 Hz.

I'm into to PCE!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbografx (PAL, European) 50 or 60 Hz?]

OK thanks Tatsujin!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Different PCE units, and some pirates?]

Aha OK from France. I did thought it was a "Hong Kong clone"

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Different PCE units, and some pirates?]

Ah, yes I saw that now.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Turbografx (PAL, European) 50 or 60 Hz?]

Yes I wonder if it plays 50 or 60 Hz a European PAL TG-16?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Different PCE units, and some pirates?]

Hi everyone!
I found a picture of a nice collection with a lot of different PCE models.
But I also noticed some units I haven't seen before, the blue boxes "Core 5" and "PC boy". I think they are "pirate consoles"? Like "Hong Kong imports". Or what do you guys think? (click on the pic for higher res).

Shit, what a nice TG16-kiosk!
How much did you pay to get it?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

I looked at "Chew man", it looked a bit fun, lika a mix of bomberman, lolo/eggerland and something more..

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

CrackTiger: Thanks a lot! I really appriciate your list, very friendly of you to write prices too, so I don´t pay too much for the games. I will set up my own wantlist soon. And then start to find the games I think is the most interesting and best buys for me.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

rag-time4: Thanks for the recommendation! I have already had my eyes on Gate of Thunder and Lords of Thunder, they really looks great in graphic, I definitely think I will spend some money on them

I will check out mage Fight for PCE.. (I already got i on Famicom, I think I have to compare them.. end choose the best one)

Super Star Soldier sounds good, I know the Star Soldier games from the NES and Famicom consoles.

I will begin with the shooters, and then I will go for platformers and puzzle games.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

Thanks for the gamelist Nekromancer, I will check them out, I know some of them by other consoles.

Tatsujin: OK! I think I will spend my money on a Japanese Duo-system with a Arcade Card Duo then.

I have done a registration on http://www.pcedaisakusen.net now! I will put up my collection online when I have one!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

OK I see! (and I saw the Retroware video, good documented and explained)
So the Arcade Card a Memory Expansion. How much cost a Arcade Card for the Duo? Are they rare to find?

Because it´s using the HuCard port on the system then I understand that it´s only a expansion for CD games right? No HuCards can be used with the Arcade Card?

Thanks for helping a new (soon) "PCE Lover" out..

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

Yes sorry.. it´s titled '92 Recca of course! (he founded it for cheap money when he was in Tokuo last year)

I picked up a copy of Rondo of Blood recently from a friend, I got it for 550 SEK (=70.00 US dollar).
Nice condition but missing spine. Supercool game, the graphics are incredible to be on PCE. And the music is so good.

Why do I have to have a "Arcade Card Duo" to play Sapphire? And what is a Arcade Card Duo?
I did thought I just could own a PCE Duo to play all cd games, isn´t that enough?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

Thanks ceti alpha for the recommended games!

My friend have Summer Carneval 93 on Famicom, so I know it, it´s a really great hori-shooter!

Dungeon Explorer do I have on HuCard to play on my PCE GT, also great game.

So I will check out these titles!
New Adventure Island (HuCard)
Gate of Thunder 3 in 1 (SuperCD)
Nexzr (SuperCD)
Ninja Spirit

But what is the big difference beteween the standard Duo-system and the Duo-R system? I need to get things clear for me Please compare them and explain why I should go for the R-system and not just the standard Duo-console.

Tatsujin: Seirei Senshi Spriggan (PC Engine) it looks really good, smooth with nice graphics, I didn´t see any slowdowns either when I looked at it on youtube.

Is it expensive to get?

One other game I have heard about that is expensive is Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire, is it really good and worth the money? Or is it more like a collectable rare game?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

Thanks for quick and friendly answers!

I mostly like japanese PCE games, so I think I will go for a JAP system.
So if I want to play both CDs and HuCards I will need the Duo-System of course.

But what is the best argument to buy a Duo-R or RX ? Instead of the standard Duo-System?
They removed a sound port on the newer system right? Do I need this for any use?

Is the R and RX-models better in any way? (technical, faster?)
Can they play more games then the Standard-Duo?

And what is a good price to pay for a complete good boxed version of  Duo, Duo-R and Duo-RX?
(so I don´t pay a too high price)

Thanks for helping me!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?]

Hi everyone!
I am new on the forum and have decided to start to collect PCE games.
I have looked around, and it seems that a PCE Duo wouldbe the best for me, I already have some HuCards since I own a PCE GT handheld console. But I want a lot of CD games to, so it seems that a PCE Duo would fit perfect.

Is it worth to buy a Duo R och RX, or is i fine with a standard Duo?
Please let me know your guys experience of the Duo-consoles.

I also want tips of great (top games) in the following genres:

Shooters (both HuCard and DC)
Puzzle games (both HuCard and DC)
Platformers (both HuCard and DC)

One more question.. can I play US (Turbografx games) on a JAP system (Duo) ?
Or do I need som converter?

Thanks a lot!
