No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999!

Wondered if any of you guys actually own one of these display stands or have seen one in the flesh, I once saw an ad for someone selling some of the flip pages from the binder.

I have an incomplete set of the pages out of one.

I remember seeing those at Toys R Us back in the day. I've seen 2 of them on ebay over the years.

Did you have any questions about it that I might be able to answer?

Edit: Here is a little bit better of a pic that I took:

All is well. :)

Wow great picture that thing is awesome, Was there ever any Turbo Grafx shop display rigs similar to the Nintendo M82?

Or can anyone recall how they were displayed in shops, Were they set up and running at all?

It is what it is and it will be what it will be!

Looking for some games, but I will prolly never find.  Sapphire, Magical Chase (US)

I remember seeing the Turbo running but it wasn't in anything special other than in a typical glass case.  There are a few kiosks out there. Sparky has one which is pretty amazing.  He's posted a few pics of it here:

Any pics to share?  From what I can tell there are a few different versions.  I'd love to see what exactly you have.
All is well. :)
