[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB Arcade Card for White Duo-R!]

Just realized that my duo-r wont play arcade games.   For some reason I thought I didn't need one of these.  Looking to buy from the USA/Canada if possible!  Thanks in advance and have Paypal waiting!

Byron had just forgot to ship my games. Received everything today, good to go now!  Thanks again m8!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Pc Engine Duo/TG-16 Duo hi res scans?]

Hey everyone,

Looking for a collection of Pc Engine Duo/TG-16 duo hi res inlays front and backs plus the cd scans?  Anyone have any of theses or partial?  I found a collection, but the quailty is a little on the low side.  Of course these are all for me personally and no way or intention of being sold.  Sapphire is a perfect example of one I'm looking for.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Finally had a chance to play Rondo of Blood!]

I use it to hop over the Minotaur's final desperation attack.

That attack almost destoryed me, didn't see that coming.  I love those last attacks the games do actually.  Very unique for the time (and to a degree still unique today!)

Hey m8,

Its been over two weeks for the $80 dollars in games, the last tracking number you gave me was for the wrong address, and I still haven't received the games yet or heard a response for a couple of days?  Any updates or a proper tracking number?

Thanks,
Tyson

Byron is an honorable guy and I am sure he will set things straight. Please give him a little slack as he is going through a crisis currently. I know this guy in real life and will vouch for him 100%.

Thanks m8, that all I really needed to hear.  I'm sure you can understand my side as well since I don't know him personally and he had sent me the wrong tracking number.  I had seen he had a lot of successful transactions on here, that's why I sent $ via a gift payment.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Finally had a chance to play Rondo of Blood!]

Been wanting to play through this one for awhile!  What a fantastic game!  One of my favorite Castlevanias!  Only reason it isn't my favorite is due to nostalgic/retro memory reasons with SOTN!  I didn't figure out that you could do the back flips until the last boss battle though.  To bad this game was never released in the USA, could potential been a game changer for the Duo IMO.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: So I overpaid for 12 case/sleave/hu card/manuals today! Shoud i go back?!?!]

I'm usually the guy always looking for bargains.....just hurt me to just walk away from someone's collection when it was right in front of me...lol they finally got me.  I may try to haggle them down also since I spent so much today.  Possibly shoot for $100-120 for it all would be a decent price.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / So I overpaid for 12 case/sleave/hu card/manuals today! Shoud i go back?!?!]

First time I've ever came across turbo grafx 16 in the wild today!  I got excited and bought it all! (mainly because I found it out in the wild, which is always a thrill).  Really was only looking for Tg-16 controllers, and came across 20 games!

I bought the following with case/sleave/hu card/manual and 3 tg16 controllers for $300.  (I "know" this wasn't a steal, pretty much high retail, but no added shipping cost and I got all of these in one shot today!)  I also didn't own a single Hu Card, sold my collection years ago, but came across another one today! (this was someone's personal collection, not all pieced together which is always cool!!)

Parasol Stars
The Legendary Axe
Military Madness
Sidearms
BravoMan
Cadash
Ordyne
Turrican
Keith Courage
Vigilante
Victory Run
Dungeon Explorer

Now the place where I got this called me back and they had some more games - Should i go back and get these also and keep this person's previous collection all together?

bonk's revenge case/sleave/hu card/manual $34
bonk's adventure case/sleave/hu card/ manual $30
splatterhouse case/sleave/hu card/ manual $45
fantasy zone case/sleave/hu card/ manual $20
jackie chan Manual, case, hucard $39

They give 10% off so i can get the above for $150ish.  I know its very high, but they are all in decent shape and part of a previous collection....what to do....what to do?!?! (they don't neg. here either)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Looking for High Res scans of all Tg-16 duo and Pc Engine Duo games]

Your site is actually great btw!  I've used it to look through countless great titles for me to find/try!  Plan to use some of your scans as well (btw I have zero intentions of selling or taking credit for any scans used on my cases, the above double dragon 2 was taking from an extremely high res Nes cover, and I Photoshopped out all of the Nintendo cover elements to better match the pc-engine cover, even though it isn't exact).  If i do use any scans to post a cover on here, I do at least plan to post where I found my scan, if thats okay with you?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Looking for High Res scans of all Tg-16 duo and Pc Engine Duo games]

Anyone have a set/website to find the best quality scans other than thecoverproject?  I'm making custom dvd style cases for my games, but having a difficult time finding quality scans of the games covers/backs?  These covers are for myself personally, but I would gladly share them with everyone once i'm done.  (made a custom double dragon II case last week, it isn't perfect, but works well for me!)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: If you could experience any game all over again for the first time?]

Looks like one of the first games I'm going to tackle is Ys 1&2!  I don't have enough experience in Turbo Grafx, but other systems I would say Chrono Trigger or Earthbound to replay for the first time, but they still hold up really well even today.  I would love to experience Final Fantasy VII again for the first time, unfortunately by today's standards the game doesn't hold up very well graphically and makes it hard for me to get through!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / If you could experience any game all over again for the first time?]

What would it be?  I just got my pc-engine duo in the mail today, and been having a great time with Dracula X!  But as my title says, if you could experience any game all over for the first time, what would it be?  Pc Engine or Tg-16 hucard or Cd rom!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB 2-4 PC Engine Duo pads and multitap(looking to two turbo)]

Let me know, I would be interested in both if they work well( a for the yellowing I'm going to try an mix up some retrobrite to bring it back to life! Will gladly post pictures if we can work something out!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB 2-4 PC Engine Duo pads and multitap(looking to two turbo)]

Thanks for all of the input everyone!  Might just stick with the tg-16 pads, but still interested if anyone has any!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB 2-4 PC Engine Duo pads and multitap(looking to two turbo)]

Is there much difference in the feel of a duo pad and just a normal TG-16 Pad?   (sorry not the place for this topic, but it is somewhat related  O:)  )

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB 2-4 PC Engine Duo pads and multitap(looking to two turbo)]

LOL, I know I know new member that post wanting to buy as a first post ;) (figured I would get some of this) ,but I'm just excited about my first pc engine duo, but  that I only have one controller and can't play with my buddy yet (and wanting to experience more of a duo-r type controller then a Turbo Grafx controller !!!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB 2-4 PC Engine Duo pads and multitap(looking to two turbo)]

Just bought my first Region Modified Pc Engine Duo-R!  Very excited to receive this, but looking for some more controllers to go along with my system to play with a friend of mine!. (it is coming with a modified Turbo Grafx multitap and one Turbo Grafx Controller). Really looking to play with the Pc Engine Duo-R controllers, but what is the best option?  Most likely looking for two Duo-r Turbo Controller and two Duo-R regular controller and a multi tap! 

Thanks for looking in and looking forward to being a part of this community!
