@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Looking forward to getting these but of course I don't mind the wait.  Thanks for putting all of this together guys.

Quote from: NightWolve on 10/31/2015, 04:13 PMOne obvious way to try to avoid resellers of course is to limit the sale of these to one CD per person. If a buyer is trying to get 2 or more of the same CD, there's your warning indicator. So, if it's about getting these to as many people as possible sans "premium pricing plans" Tobias-style or the eBay rollercoaster, that's one way to help.
Yeah, that's what we're doing.  Everyone gets one copy each.  :)

I would like to get a disc too.  Im glad these are clearly labeled as repro and offered cheaply.

How incredible! Thanks to everyone who made this happen. Can't wait to play Dracula X on my Duo!

It's an unwritten law in Japan that every shooter series has to have it's own ''parody''

I was quite skeptical about this whole thing until I spoke with the Wolves of Night about it. It's also quite the gesture on Tobias' part. Honestly, I never thought this sort of thing would happen as there was always such a stigma with repros here. I've expressed this before but I never thought repros were a bad idea especially if they are marked as such. Now, does this mean that there will be less scrutiny on the forums toward those who buy things from PCE Work/Tobias after such a gesture? Well, that still remains to be seen ;) Also, does anyone think this will drive down the price of some of these games since the market will slowly have abundance of these repros floating around? I imagine that some of these will wind up on eBay or social media sales threads/forums just by the fact that I'm starting to see new faces jump out of the wood work here. Maybe a minimal post count may have not been a bad idea but I digress. All that aside, I wouldn't mind having an English language version of Dracula X myself and will definitely be shooting Bernie a pm. This is a great thing from all those involved, I'd like to volunteer to help in any way possible .

I dont know that it will have much effect on the price of repros.  I gave out 400 discs of Sapphire a few years back and still the price of that one is high for a repro.  The originals seemed largely unaffected in price.

Bernie

I seriously doubt what we are doing will affect the original game price, or Tobias's sales.  This is aimed at the folks just wanting the game itself.  There will always be others that want his full package.  Lets face it, the man does beautiful work.

Can you burn HuCard games onto CD? or it's always CD to CD?

Sure ... it's a great way to create a PCE-themed beverage coaster.

If you actually want to play the game, then it's not such a good idea.

If you just want to play it without buying it ... Turbo Everdrive.

If you want a physical copy ... https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=19848.0

I've been wanting a copy of Sapphire (repro or otherwise) for a while so I've been trying to keep track of it and hopefully find a reasonable deal.  Even after giving out all of the repros the price of the original has actually gone up rather steadily.  Ironically, even the Sapphire repro seems to be worth some money now and that's ignoring the unscrupulous people who try to pass off the repro as an original on ebay.

I wouldn't put it past Tobias to repress the Sapphire bootie once he exhausts his future plans.

...it's called the Super HuCard ISO.

https://www.zeograd.com/super_hucard_download.php

About 75 games work off a CD bootable menu. There are varying degrees of bugs, but they're mostly playable. Only games that are 256KB or less can be converted to be played this way since that matches the CD RAM size. But yes, it's possible and the idea obviously started with the Gate of Thunder 4-in-1 CD where Hudson made Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge and Bomberman playable off a CD.

I cannot wait to get a PM back and play these great games. I have not been able to get a Rondo ISO to work correctly on my DUO since purchasing it..... so i am more than excited for this.

They are playable enough to let you know if it's something you want to buy.  I dont think I ever found one that didnt eventually crash, freeze, glitch out, ect..  But yeah, probably something that could have been proven to work really well if it had continued to be worked on.  Shit, imagine if a finished product got pressed.  :)

Like I said before guys, I am seeing your PMs.  :)  I do so many a day, and then call it a night.  We should have plenty to go around.  So, until you see us post otherwise, just hang in there.  BlueBMW, I dont see how the hell you did this all by your lonesome a few years back...   8)

Not quite.  You got it from Tobias himself.  I can only assume it will be us for now though.  It saves him time and money to let someone else handle the loose discs.

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!

Ive noticed that.  How I have been dealing with that is this.  When an old timer PMs me, he/she automatically goes to the front of the line.  I feel that is only fair, even though I am sure we will have enough to go around.
