Claims it is the rarest add-on for the pc engine...

I think Thibaut had one for sale a little while back. I guess its basically like a subwoofer that you put under your cushion and certain games would provide "feedback" during play. IIRC Metamor Jupiter is one such game that supported it.

Sounds interesting... thanks for the input...

I vaguely remember one being pictured in an old EGM, Turboplay, or other magazine of that era. I've never seen one in person though...

SuperDeadite · 10/30/2011, 08:14 PM

$990? LOL these things are very easy to pickup in Japan, I made a demo vid of mine like a year ago now:

SuperDeadite · 10/30/2011, 08:16 PM

WHAT THE FUCK! THAT AUCTION STOLE ME VIDEO. THAT IS NOT MY SALE DIRTY FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BigusSchmuck · 10/30/2011, 08:38 PM

I wants it, but not for a $1000. How much do these things go for in Japan? I have a brother over there and could talk him into getting one if the price is right.

BlueBMW · 10/30/2011, 08:42 PM

Hahahaha! Get em SuperD!

That is pretty funny that they'd steal your video as their own...

RR1980 · 10/30/2011, 09:53 PM

Hahahaha, as others have indicated, these are all but rare.

This is the same sort of person that would advertise a Pac-Land or Keith Courage as "OMG RARE L@@K"

I'm guessing it was the unboxing video(as it says "Embedding disabled by request"). You should contact eBay and tell them about the video. That's not right......

SuperDeadite · 10/31/2011, 06:16 AM

Yeah after seeing it I disabled the embed option on it. To be fair, he doesn't say it's his video, just that it's more info, but still that's low.
I haven't logged into ebay in over 6 years now, not gonna bother reporting myself. I just don't want anyone confusing me with this gouging asshole is all.

Price wise, you can pick these up in any Tokyo shop for about 6,000yen these days, they are uncommon, but not many people really want one. And far far far from the rarest PCE items.

RR1980 · 10/31/2011, 07:47 AM

yeah looks like he just added a vid of his own he made with probably a crappy phone cam but funny how he said it was tested and working but he never even opened the plastic wrapping that whichever retro gaming store he bought from wrapped the box with hehe
