Still none so far but maybe next month i will.

I got my eye on a few related pce games.

Still i did get SMB2 yesterday in the mail for my FDS

Turbo D · 04/24/2007, 12:59 AM

That game rocks!, too bad my disk system's belt has disinegrated

nat · 04/24/2007, 01:01 AM

What the hell is up with the FDS, anyway? That has got to be the worst idea in the history of video gaming.

It's so lame that you can only play SMB2 (J) if you have a Disk System, because that is one piece of video game history I will never bother with.

I think it's an ok add on for the famicom still it's not perfect.

As turbo D mention the belt drive can go bad then you need to replace it.

Wich is one of the reason why i don't play it as much.

If any thing i have the, FDS as a collection peace heck i play the carts more then the disc.

Also there are "boots of SMB2" that can be found as well on cart for it and there was also the offiical release of, SMB2 for the GBA import only of corse.

FDS was simpley a cheap way for nintendo to get there games to the consumer nothing more.

While in the end... it was replace by carts once it got cheap and they could more with it.

You can read more about it here if you care http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/fds/fds.html

Don't know if this will help.

Hmm i remember a member at ng.com had to replace the belt drive for his FDS.

The name escape at the moment though.

jfgoods does have a ebay store and they sell replacement belts.

GUTS · 04/26/2007, 01:25 AM

I thought SMB2 was the Lost Levels on Super Mario All Stars? Isn't that version good enough or are you guys talking about Doki Doki Panic?

Turbo D · 04/26/2007, 01:52 AM

The disk system version has the old skool graphics. Doki Doki is cool too

Yeah, LostLevels/SMB2 is on Mario All Stars as well.

Still i've herd fans complain that they change the way it plays on it some how.

Just another reason why i wanted to get it for my FDS.

Btw i got np with, Doki Doki Panic either when it became SMB2 for the U.S.

I think it's a good enough game in it's own right.

nat · 04/26/2007, 02:36 AM

I'm a fairly big fan of Mario...

Super Mario Bros. 2, the USA version, is by far the best Super Mario game ever made. I've never played it in it's "original" Doki Doki Panic form, but clearly the creators meant for it to be a Mario game from day 1.

The only time I've played the Japanese SMB2 was indeed on the All-Stars. It intruiged me enough that I wanted to get the Famicom version, until I found out it was FDS only.

Actually, there really is something about the way that one and the original SMB play on the All-Stars cart that bothers me. For SMB1, I'll take the original NES version any day.

photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/spaceinvaders1-1.jpg

I like it! its a bit minimal on content though but it is space invaders...

some scans of the manual and short clips..

I love those vector graphics in the intro for space invaders plus XD (sorry folks with low badwidth)

/spaceinvaders2.jpg

I'm not too keen on the upbeat music on the Plus game..

/spaceinvaders.jpg

The new battle ships you control!

/spaceinvaders3.jpg

Its a bit strange that on most space invader shrines there is no mention of the pc engine version.. its almost as if this is the forgotten space invaders game..

Did the original space invaders game have play mispelt on the enemy information screen cause on the pc engine's the Y is upside down..

Nazi NecroPhile · 04/30/2007, 03:54 PM

Digi.K - Thanks for sharing Space Invaders. I like how the invaders are damaged and shoved up a bit before disappearing. What types of power ups are dropped?

Digi.k · 04/30/2007, 05:50 PM

I think there are 8 different types of power ups that drops from the UFO..

apart from timer (stops aliens for a while) shield recovery, shield that appears above your head.. I think the rest are various types of lasers, missiles etc

Nazi NecroPhile · 04/30/2007, 06:01 PM

Thanks again, Digi.K - looks like I'll have to add Space Invaders to the loooooooong list of eventual must buys.

Carbon Tiger · 04/30/2007, 06:24 PM

World Stadium 91
Populous
Doraemon Meikyu Daisakussen
Takahashi Meijin No Shi Boukenjima
Bomber Man 94
Neutopia II
R-Type II

I think that does it until late summer. :-)

They should be in next week.

Nazi NecroPhile · 05/01/2007, 12:33 AM

Oh yeah! - Evil Dead: Regeneration (PC) is in the mail. I can't wait to kick some deadite ass.

CrackTiger · 05/01/2007, 09:30 PM

I received a package with most of those sealed TG-16 games today and it turned out to be the real deal.

Hopefully, the three remaining games are coming in a seperate package.

offsidewing · 05/01/2007, 10:05 PM

Those sealed games are nice...

Here's my list of my most recent binge that are in the mail.

Neutopia (TG)
L-Dis (PCE)
Soldier Blade (TG)
Military Madness
Sealed Blazing Lazers
Bloody Wolf (TG)
Final Lap Twin (TG)
Street Fighter II (PCE)
Vegeius Tact Gladiator (TG)

Received as a bonus with the Purchase of my DUO-R:
Tennokoe Bank
Gulliver Boy
Far East of Eden: Kabuki

How can I forget my "85% NEW" Battle Tap coming from Indo-China...

Your 'bonus' items alone justify the purchase of a Duo.

MrFulci · 05/02/2007, 08:46 AM

CrackTiger,

I think I know of where those games were acquired!

From Direct4games, right?

I'm guessing their TG-16 stock isn't moving fast enough, so they discounted them quite a bit.

The shipping is still a bit outrageoes, though when you add it all up, the cost of each game is worth it.

I'm pretty sure that company, direct4games.com, is what became of telegames.co.uk.

Good prices, it made me jump on a few items that I'd like to replace. Not that the specific games I picked up are in poor shape, however my Night Creatures box is a bit sunbleached on it's edge, damage like that justified my spending in that area, haha. Plus, it's always fun to open a still sealed TG-16 game.

offsidewing · 05/02/2007, 02:44 PM

I have Far East of Eden Manji Maru that's been sitting in a box for ten years. I never played it. Now I have the sequel!!

Hopefully I can find Engrish walkthrus for both.

I'm most excited to play Blazing Lazers. I may not open the sealed one and just buy a bare card to play.

Don't worry, there are real actual english walkthroughs for all 3 PCE Tengai Makyou RPGs.

DaveGeorge · 05/09/2007, 06:01 AM

I finally ordered Valis IV (don't know why it took me so long), $26.99 complete with spine..

Also I finally got my precious Arcade Card Pro in the mail yesterday, got it for only $29.99 (since I was stupid enough to include my Arcade Card Duo when I sold my other Duo-r)... Finally I can play Sapphire again

MrFulci · 05/10/2007, 01:49 PM

CrackTiger,

Ever receive your 3 missing games? I've ordered from Direct4 about 3 times in the past, though always directly through their web site. I've never had any issues with them. Though, I've never dealt with them through ebay 'til recently.

I actually just had a similar experience with another seller where I purchased 2 games, only 1 arrived. I just e-mailed him to see if it's supposed to be mailed later. I've had this happen with mass purchases every once in a while, whether it be toiletries or Video games. Still, no fun when it happens.

Some recent purchases:

PCE:
- Download
- Asuka 120% Burning
- Kabuki Ittou......
- Flash Hiders
- Space Invaders
- Puyo Puyo CD
- Populous

Turbo Grafx:
- Turbo Link

offsidewing · 05/10/2007, 10:24 PM

Just got Vasteel (US) in the mail today. Great condition plus map for 35 bones off ePay. I've got enough turbo games to last me until next year!!

TR0N · 05/15/2007, 12:12 AM

PCE/TG16
Steam Hearts
Star Parodia
Chew Man Fu
Duo Extension Cord:Got that from TZD.

Famicom
Duckhunt:Wouldn't beleave how hard it is to get for the, Famicom compare to the nes one

Keranu · 05/15/2007, 01:10 AM

Legend of Xanadu II and Neo Metal Fantasy. I got these for a steal from Hit-Japan with each being $10 plus $9 shipping. I can't wait!

They're two of the very best games for the PC Engine, RPG'ish or otherwise.

Plus I'm pretty sure that excellent english walkthroughs are available for both.

Keranu · 05/16/2007, 12:06 AM

I know! And JEE, I wonder if a certain Tiger wrote walkthroughs for them! LOL!

I am really looking forward to playing Neo Metal Fantasy. Ever since you made such positive comments about it months back, I've been incredibly interested in it. This definitely seems like it's going to be a fantastic untalked about gem.

OldRover · 05/16/2007, 09:20 AM

Yesterday I bought a small lot of games from a user here at pcenginefx. Collection includes:

Victory Run
Blazing Lazers
China Warrior
Super Vollyball
Takin' It To the Hoop
Dragon's Curse

Not much of a fan of sports games but I plan to eventually have the complete US collection. A complete PCE collection is impossible to obtain so I'm not even going to try.

SuperDeadite · 05/16/2007, 09:28 AM

My last spree for a long time:

Alien Crush
Magical Chase
Sylphia

I own it and played it a bit. It is a very good game. Good art, a few nice cut scenes and very playable. It's an old school RPG and kind of reminds me of Phantasy Star II.

Nice i'm sure Sylphia and Magical Chase set you back a bit.

Now if i can just find a copy of, Sylphia for myself since i don't see it on ebay offen

SuperDeadite · 05/17/2007, 08:58 AM

Yeah I spent a lot of money the other day but it was certainly worth it.

Sylphia is one awesome shooter, the early backgrounds are a bit bland, but they do get better and the general asthetics are great. The aquaduct and Leaning Tower levels are a total blast. I also adore that dark, almost mournful soundtrack! Only problem is the game is a bit easy, I one-credited it my second try on Normal. Thankfully though there is also a Hard, and Super Hard mode (haven't tried these yet).

Magical Chase is one pretty little game. The colors are so bright! Postioning your "stars" where you want them takes a bit of getting used to, but its not a bad thing. The game feels a bit unbalenced though, most of the game ain't too tough, but that goblin king just utterly destroys me every time.

In the end though, these were certainly worth the money, they look quite nice on the shelf next to Sapphire

Carbon Tiger · 05/17/2007, 05:44 PM

Scored some stuff off auction

I got lucky I managed to grab briefcase CD add on pretty cheaply (and working or so the seller says).

_{https://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/qlebeau/matu5067753-img320x240-117835236220.jpg}

Anyway I didn't notice when I won the bid but it also came with a few games. That was a nice surprise, however, the camera shot is kind of blurry and I can't make out all the games. I can make out the Far East of Eden game and the system card but eh no idea on the rest.

So any PC-E fan out there with sharp eyes who can tell me what these games are and if their any good

Pretty good arpg too since the princess must save herself, not some knight in shining armor.

Most of the time i recomend it to.. any body who wants a arpg on the cheap

Nice package deal. I'm trying to find another CD ROM to replace my broken one. Hopefully everything works well. I ended up buying a briefcase+CD combo with a broken CDROM drive recently. That sucked.

Anyway, I think I can make out the games (left to right; top to bottom):

1. Formation Soccer 95 della serie A
2. Gotzendiener
3. Shin Megami Tensei
4. Magical Dinosaur Tour
5. Dungeon Master Theron's Quest
6. Kabuki Den
7. System Card 3.0
8. Daisenpu
9. Tengai Makyou Ziria (back of the case I believe)
10. Might and Magic
11. Sherlock Holmes 1

Hope that helps!
