A PC ENGINE PC!

Nazi NecroPhile · 04/29/2008, 05:15 PM

These beasts are kinda neat (as an oddity) and this one is in particularly good condition, but no CD capability equals a waste of money in my book. Too bad you can't add a CD-ROM drive and install one of the PC-FXGA cards, then you'd have the best of all possible worlds.

termis · 04/29/2008, 06:47 PM

Hah. That'd certainly be a nice collectible for a PCE fan, though NecroPhile is right. No CD drive factor really kills it on the practical-scale.

But the starting bid price seems reasonable for a beast like this. That's too bad -- At this point, I'd need another console like I'd need a hole in the head.

Ceti Alpha · 04/29/2008, 07:45 PM

Very cool. But as NecroPhile said, no CD drive = useless. It really is too bad that a mod couldn't be made to this.

Joe Redifer · 04/29/2008, 08:09 PM

Since this is a computer as well, can it run a PC Engine emulator on it? How about MAME? Or maybe Genecyst?

guyjin · 04/29/2008, 08:39 PM

it's not really a 'pc'; it's a sharp X1 computer. not pc compatible.

However, a combination X68000/PCE would kick some major behind!

Turbo D · 04/29/2008, 10:14 PM

I'd buy it if I had the money

Rainbow_Bright · 04/30/2008, 05:10 AM

I'd buy it too!

Pc engine is so addictive!

Ceti Alpha · 04/30/2008, 08:49 AM

Yeah, who am I kidding? I'd buy that in a second if I had the money to blow. lol

nat · 04/30/2008, 11:10 AM

I wouldn't buy it. These things have popped up before, and while cool to look at, are completely useless. Sure the fact that it has a PC Engine inside is great and all, but who wants to use a 20 year old computer with virtually no useful software? Not me. I can just buy a PC Engine without the Sharp X1 and save a shitload of space.

Exactly what I though when I saw it. A fine curio- but it would just sit in a closet somewhere. I need that closet space for music and camera equipment and porno

maybe if there were some decent x-1 games... but I don't know of any.

hence my desire for an X68000 twin

Turbo D · 04/30/2008, 04:15 PM

I thing I had the x-1 and x6800 mixed up

I'd still buy that thing though, lol.

Rainbow_Bright · 04/30/2008, 05:40 PM

I'd still buy it, I have no porn..What a waste of money! Porn or Pc engine, easy choice! Pc engine!!!!!!!!!!

OldRover · 04/30/2008, 05:47 PM

I have all the porn I'll ever need...I have a wife.

PC Engine wins it.

Hell no, gimme both! Lady Sword, Hawaiian Island Girls, and Strip Fighter 2 - here I come (so to speak).

Sinistron · 04/30/2008, 06:29 PM

hey hey- I have porn, a girlfriend, and pc-engine!

I just wouldn't buy this ancient behemoth.

Rainbow_Bright · 05/02/2008, 07:56 AM

There's nothing wrong with ancient behemoths

Ceti Alpha · 05/02/2008, 08:21 AM

Porn makes the world go round....or at least the internets.

MotoRoaderMike · 05/05/2008, 10:39 AM

Frickin' sweet.

natethegreat82 · 05/05/2008, 12:27 PM

In the X-1's defense, it does appear to have a least one good game for it: Kagirinaki Tatakai.
