Quote from: Joe RediferThat dude is awesome.  He graces my TG-16 box.  He watches me play games, and he is obviously happy about it.  I mean god damn!

I wonder if we can find that all-american dude and see what he's doing now..how did he get a gig like that...did they tell him to smile like that? or was he really a huge fan?  

AAron should interview him! -Doom

That would be kick ass if we could find that guy, as doom stated. Lets begin a search for him.

He's probably 35 by now.

Does anyone have a picture of how the Turbo CD case is supposed to be packed? I am extremely retarded and can't seem to get the controller and games to fit in without everything being jammed really tight.

Three more reasons why TG16 is better than PCE :D :

1. ) We got R-Type on ONE HuCard! :D

2. ) We got Beyond Shadowgate! :D

3. ) We got It Came From the Desert !! :D :D :D

I feel bad for Japan and that whole R-Type CD thing.  Poor guys.  At least with the split up R-Type HuCards, you had your choice on whether to purchase the boring 4 levels at the end of the game or not.  Unfortunately the  good levels (1-4) cost as much as a real complete game.  So I guess the US got the extra boring and lame levels as a bonus, but is still missing the really cool bonus stage that's in the SMS version (which has awesome music).

I'm pretty sure the US version of R-Type runs in a slightly different horizontal resolution than the Japanese version just by eyeballing it on my TV screen. 

EDIT:
Confirmed!  Check out these two pics grabbed from the same emulator:

Japanese version - 352x240

US version - 336x240

What the hell ?

It might be the emulator - which one did you try?

TGEmu for Mac OSX, one of the few which actually does screen caps in any resolution the machine is capable of.  Plus I can see the difference on my TV as well.  The US version has a slight black bar on the right side whereas the Jap version takes up the entire screen.

Then they did that to reduce flicker. Since you can only have 16 sprites per active part of the scanline, the shrunk the active area so sprites in the overscan area of the TV wouldn't cause possible flicker.

If that means that the North American version of R-Type not only has all the levels, but less flicker too, then thats awesome!  :D
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

The less flicker thing makes sense to me. Even though I am pro-TG16, I will try to defend the Japanese R-Type by saying that even though the TG16 version might have a little less flicker because of the cut screen, there is still plenty of flicker anyways so you get a nice full screen with the Japanese one.

Of course that means nothing since you only need one HuCard for the American one 8) .
