No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999!

Folks here are super-nice, helping others expand their TG libraries.  I don't believe I ever got a hold of this one back in my Turbo Prime, so I'd love to give it a shot.  Thanks!

Greetings all,

I'll throw my hat in the ring here.  I had a very close-to-complete Turbo collection before we lost our home in a fire just under 2 years ago now.  We pulled a bunch of Turbo stuff from the rubble and most was beyond saving but I've managed to clean off a few of my CD games (cases/manuals/boxes were destroyed).  I think this may be one of the games that made it but I have to go find the "to be cleaned" bin it is sitting in to be sure.

As I can't replace everything I had gaming-related, I've been trying to go for "unique" things or "themes", such as "everything Ys related I can find" or "every variant of a specific game to see all the differences (like Exile across all platforms).  Hanging a cool map on the wall would qualify so it would get some love here. 

I will say that as much as I am excited, if someone here loves the game or has a nostalgic connection to it like I do to Ys, I'd rather them get it.  If no one like that is around, then I would give it a good home.

This is a great idea and I love this community for these types of things.  Thanks!

Wow, what a nice thing to do.  I used to have stuff like this and found things like the system cleaning device useful, so please sign me up!

Thanks.

While I'm not sure this is the super-best place to ask, if anyone has an extra-extra copy I would love to grab it too.  I snagged the other 4 games that came in this batch but apparently I was one person too late to get Dynastic Hero.  Figures.

I also missed out on the first batch so if folks have extras of those around, I would love to give them a good home as well.

It kills me that I used to own the originals of all these before the fire that took our home a year ago.  I feel I let down the community by "letting" them all get destroyed, even though I know that's not true.  I do miss them but I simply won't spend hundreds of dollars per title to get them back.

When I heard about these things I was thrilled...it's a great "compromise" for my current situation.

Anyway...that's that :)  Thanks everyone for listening.

Howdie!  I know I may be late to the party but if there are any left, I'd love one.  I realize color options may be limited but please advise how I get in on this.  I love the Everdrive 2.4 I have, though I haven't had time to use it much, but I always fear touching the thing :)

Thanks!  Gamedude is still around??  I remember getting their flyers in the 90s and calling them (long distance...back when that mattered!) to ask if they had games in stock here and there, then asking to make sure the manual was included, etc!  I will check that out for sure.

And I plan to keep my eye out here as well.  It seems that folks don't sell their stuff as often as they used to.  I swear every time I look on eBay I get mad as it's crazy-expensive, and most of the time the condition isn't what I'd want to see for that kind of money.

Greetings PCEngineFX forum go-ers.  Matt here, known to some as Landis from the days of the Turbo Mailing List (which is still around, btw!  Thanks BT!).  I have been a turbo fan since my first TG16 system back around ~1990 or so.  I joined the Turbo Mailing list and traded with many of the key listers back in the day, grabbing cool stuff from Japan and working on what would be the start of my Turbo collection.

I had quite the setup...shrinkwrapped-in-the-box Duo systems, a PCFX and Supergrafx, shrinkwrapped copies of almost every US CD/SuperCD game...it was awesome.  I loved it.

Then on Dec 27, 2014 we lost our home in a fire.  No one was hurt (even our turtle survived the roof collapsing on her tank) but most of my games were lost. I say "most" because I've managed to pull some from the rubble prior to demolition and while the cases/boxes/manuals were a lost cause, some of the CDs/carts were not destroyed inside the boxes.  Score one for keeping things complete, huh?

I am a huge Ys fan and really enjoy games in complete/excellent condition.  What I'm finding troubling is that while I can't afford to replace everything I had, I'm having a hard time finding anything that isn't beat to heck and/or crazy expensive.

So I figured I'd reach out here and for anyone still reading this post, I'd love any tips on where to find reasonably priced TG16/Duo gear and games that are in good+ condition and are complete.  I miss my TG16 boxes for all the games, spine cards on the imports, etc!

If BT (owner of the Turbo Mailing list) wasn't kind enough to let me help him beta-test his last game, he also started my re-collection off with a couple games and I am very grateful to him.  Plus it's nice to know some people out there keep stuff in good condition like I do!

I'll be quiet now.  For anyone still reading, thank you.  Even a "nice to meet you" would be great, but any tips/etc would be most appreciated.  With young kids and all the hubbub of the house fire, I am WAY behind in posting here but...better late than never?

Matt (aka Landis)
