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

Alshark is quite reminiscent of Fang of Alnam, another traditional-style RPG released by Right Stuff. Both games feature excellent battle systems, but they share the misfortune of being plagued by abysmal visuals, and neither lives up to its vast potential. The soundtrack, which travels a back-and-forth line between goofy and generic.

Also, the seller took a picture of his chocolate cake and printed it on the cover?
He clearly does not give a shit about his product.

Well it did happen because I made that page ages ago and I marked each game off as I beat it. You can simply say pictures are required for proof. By saying "or it didn't happen," you are kinda insulting a hardcore PCE gamer.

Are you really this naive and/or retarded?

Here comes Mr. Insults.

Count me in.  This game looks awesome.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Anyone taken the ASTRALIUS challenge?]

I am thinking about it. But man, this game does sound terrible. However, hearing all the negative things has sparked my interest.
Anyone tried tackling this beast? Your thoughts?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Getting through some epic RPGs without a guide or knowledge of Japanese]

and don´t forget to buy and play through legend of xanadu 1+2, startling odyssey 2, dragon knight 2, tenshi no uta 1+2, star breaker, tengai makyou manjimari and so on. all freakin awesome rpgs.

Didn't care for LoX too much. The constant backtracking became really annoying. I kinda stopped playing on chapter 7. However, I did finish LoX2.

@Arkhan

I will send giant Mario from New Mario Brothers to stomp on Kung Fu.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Getting through some epic RPGs without a guide or knowledge of Japanese]

I have yet to play it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Getting through some epic RPGs without a guide or knowledge of Japanese]

Thanks for the suggestion. Also bought Burai 1 & 2 because people on this forum love these games.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song is now released]

So how many copies are still remaining?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Getting through some epic RPGs without a guide or knowledge of Japanese]

Bought some cheap RPGs from Hit-Japan ebay, and I was wondering If it's possible to go through these without help of a guide or any knowledge of Japanese. I tried searching for a guide, but there seem to none available at this time.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Vasteel 2]

What does the arcade card do for this game?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Vasteel 2]

What are your thoughts on Vasteel 2?

I recently saw the only gameplay video on YouTube on this game, and the music had me hooked. Soulful Pc-engine soundtrack...love it.

How is the game? Will I be able to sail through it If I don't know Japanese?

I really wanna grab a copy of this one. The music rocks.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: worn out AV port]

but it sounds more like the tightness of the receiving pins within the unit are worn and don't make good contact after the cable is fully inserted.

I believe this is the problem. But I will try cleaning the contacts.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: worn out AV port]

Do you have an original cable or one of those pieces of crap TZD was selling a while back?

I am using this AV cord for my Duo-R.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: worn out AV port]

Might just need to resolder the joints to the pcb.

I will look into that. But When I partly insert the AV cable into the port, it works fine.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / worn out AV port]

The video becomes fuzzy on my PC engine Duo from time to time, so I need to replace the AV port.

How can do this? I can't find any help on the internet.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB:Terra Cresta II]

hmm...yeah.....heard the game itself is pretty mediocre. Even if I don't get a good deal, I think I won't be missing much. I think.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: This EGM preview convinced me to get Rayxanber III]

Yeah...Rayxanber III isn't too hot in terms of game play. But the graphics are sweet.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB:Terra Cresta II]

I remember someone saying they see copies in japan for 60 bucks or something. Can anyone from japan consider helping a fellow PCE fan.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB:Terra Cresta II]

Really wish to add this to the collection.

Can anyone spare me a copy for an acceptable price?

Complete copy would be preferred.

Thanks in advance.

[General Gaming / Re: Games or series you suck at]

I suck at new first person shooters.

Who got rid of their PCE?

Oh I am positive we have a few here that strive to be just that, a moron...

Sounds like you are taking a indirect (cheap) shot at me.
As a fan, I have been collecting Pc-Engine games over the past several years, so it makes no fucking sense for me to sell my Pc-Engine.
I still like the system.

[Off-Topic / Re: Best Sega CD shooter?]

Edited the Poll.

[Off-Topic / Best Sega CD shooter?]

I havta say Robo Aleste is #1 because of the awesome music, story and gameplay.

Silpheed is close second, because of the great twitch game play.

Android assault is pretty good too, with some rocking tunes; it's at number 3.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE shooters have lost their magic for me...]

Oh ya, I will go back to them eventually, because I love shooters and teh PCE. But these days I am totally hooked on the Saturn, and I do enjoy the crazy "edge of your seat" type game play.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE shooters have lost their magic for me...]

I understand, but the Saturn is one big censored flip-flop system, that breifly took the place of the PCE, along with the Playstation. The Saturn is a 3d system, with two proccessors. The PCE can do every single 2d feet the Saturn gave to us, if they only tried.

What? Not possible! Let me see Pc-Engine handle stage 2 of Galactic attack/Layer Section.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE shooters have lost their magic for me...]

Don't get me wrong, I still love some shooters like Sapphire, Lords of thunder, Nexzr and various other CD shmups.

But Hucard games seem to suffer the most for me.

I guess PCE shmups are more fair in terms of difficulty and gameplay, whereas Saturn shmups throw everything at you but the kitchen sink.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PCE shooters have lost their magic for me...]

I recently got into Sega Saturn, and started collecting shmups for it.
I must say, after playing games like Darius Gaiden, Sōkyūgurentai, Dodonpachi, Batsugun and Battle Garegga, I am having hard going back to the PCE shmups.
They seem dated to me now in terms of presentation and game play. Anyone feel the same?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: ULTIMATE CHALLENGE: decipher inscrutable lyrics in song (MotoRoader MC)!]

Is this game worth the 15 bucks?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Legend of Xandu map 6....]

I can't get the story to progress. I am on map 6 (I think), where you go through this plant cave in order to reach a town surrounded by mountains.

I am at the part where monsters invade the town where you begin your quest and you have to find the runaway villagers. I found all the villagers, but the game is not progressing. I talked to everyone and searched every bit of the map, and no luck.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Dynastic Hero US/Jpn differences]

You only have about 10 seconds to answer each question before you are awarded an automatic wrong answer. Not really enough time to snap a photograph

And the questions are swapped every time. good luck!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Dynastic Hero US/Jpn differences]

Honestly, you shouldn't have ordered the Japanese Dynastic Hero, because you won't be able to get past the questioning cat. I think Wonderboy in Monster Land for the Sega Genesis should have been a better choice for you. I regret buying the jap version of DH.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Why is the music in some PCE Rpgs so mediocre???]

I just want to know what the original poster, found so displeasing about the music in Neo-metal.

It's not repetitive, it's just lifeless. I do like the map themes (there are 2), and few other tunes played in the town area.  I also like the "sad" theme played from time to time. But that's it. I was especially disappointed with the battle and boss theme, something I look forward to hearing in any RPG. Overall, the music doesn't leave a lasting impression on the player. It's there to get the job done, and in that regard N.M.F. composers accomplished that task. I've already listed some examples of good RPG soundtracks in my original post.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Why is the music in some PCE Rpgs so mediocre???]

Kabuki Den music is good from what I heard. Have yet to try Anearth stories.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / I think I have a defective game.....]

I am talking about Tenshi no Uta Super CD game.

I am at the point where you fight a boss in the snow cave, and a cut scene is suppose to play after the battle.
After that, one character leaves your party and you obtain a blue tear shaped object.

But the cut scene didn't play and the character didn't leave my party. Moreover, I can't pick up the blue object even after beating the boss.

I back tracked to every town I consider relevant to my progress and talked to everyone, and still no progress.

Can anyone help? Duomazov Guide is of no use either.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Why is the music in some PCE Rpgs so mediocre???]

I've played through Neo Metal Fantasy (great RPG BTW, very underrated), and currently trying to tackle Tenshi no Uta (Not bad so far).

While, these RPGS deliver the graphics and the game play, the music is sadly lacking. I only found 2-3 tracks in NMF worthy of being called decent, and rest mostly forgettable. The music in T.N.U. isn't any better, and features the most obnoxious battle theme I've ever heard in a RPG.

In other words, the music merely gets the job done.

Are there any PCE RPGs that have exceptional music? At least something comparable to Lufia 2, PS IV, Dungeon explorer, and DQ 5.

[Off-Topic / Re: Best Genesis/MD shooters???]

MUSHA=takes a monstrous shit on all shooters in existence.

Nope, no trolling here. 

I can think of at least a dozen shooters that are more fun that MUSHA.
