What's up PCEngineFX guys? Good to see a great resource for PC-FX fans.

A little bit about myself. I've been collecting Japanese imports and development hardware for the past 4 years. All in all, I've owned 36 different platforms, and hundreds of game consoles. I also repair game consoles on the side, so that's helped me get junk lots and deals for cheap. Recently, I've downsized the collection, and made it more streamlined.

My latest pickup, is the wonderful PC-FX console, CIB. At first I never thought I would have enjoyed such a system, but I've really liked my latest purchase. NEC had a gem, and never used it the way it should have. I'm looking forward to getting to know the hardware better, and many more hours of gameplay from the system.

I used to own a PCE Core Grafx, but sold it on due to wanting a Duo R or RX unit. Some day... Haha

Hope all is good, and keep on gaming with that NEC love!

Welcome aboard!

I'm happy to hear you're digging the PC-FX, as far too many peeps get 'em and are almost immediately disappointed.  If you've not already, make sure you check out the wonder translation patches for Zeroigar and Pia Carrot.

Thanks! I've heard that a lot as well, which bums me out. I don't think us western gamers really have the correct background to judge the system fully, as this is one of the most Japanese consoles that's ever been released in my opinion.

I actually beat the English patched Zeroigar 100% a couple days ago, and absolutely loved the game. It really showed how well the PC-FX could add a nicely presented FMV story to anything, and pull it off well.

I'll make a long story short: the FX is not misunderstood. The problem isn't the message. It just sucked. They did a terrible job making the thing. Also, no games. You'll be so much happier with the machine if you just accept that now and enjoy what it is.

The PC Engine absolutely rules.

Japanese people judged the system at the time with their wallets.   If it was good, it wouldn't have <70 games with 4 action games basically.

This is very much the case. The PC engine was still selling strong at the time. And in contrast, even with the failure of the PC-FX, the PC Engine managed to stick around for 13 years long outliving it's successor. But, I still find the PC-FX fascinating. I think it has a certain attractive charm.

Arkhan Asylum

It's actually really awesome hardware itself, and the design of the machine + controller ports and stuff is all pretty nice as well.  The problem being that the lack of 3D stuff basically fucked it over because it turns out FMV was not the future everyone expected.

I like it's appearance much more than the Saturn or Playstation.

It's sad that the last chiptuney machine ever (?) basically faceplanted.

It's different, that's why I enjoy it. To be honest with everyone, I've gotten more use from my PC-FX than I did my CoreGrafx. It might have sucked hard in it's home country, but it's got an appeal to me. Do I think the PC Engine as a platform was better? Of course it was, I know that. Do I feel the PC-FX gets slightly misrepresented here as the hentai only console? Yes, I do. It is what it is.

Sorry if some here are butthurt that I'm enjoying my PC-FX more than the CoreGrafx. That being said, I enjoyed my five Saturn consoles more than my three Mega Drives. That should tell you what generation of consoles I lean towards.

Good to be here, and glad to find a community who stands up and tells the truth about their own consoles though.

EDIT: Let's at least count our blessings... It's not a Playdia or a Loopy...

I swear I posted a reply.  Maybe I hit refresh before it posted.

Im not butthurt by your enjoyment.  Im buttglad.

I do enjoy the PCFX, and have almost every game for it, but it's definitely stupid.   It didn't get enough of anything except digital comics basically.

Ruruli Ra Rura looks like shareware, and plays like it.

It needed some more action games.  Even simple shit like Afterburner would have been great.

If you're not in the mood for basically clicking and reading, the PCFX is boring, lol

It's the perfect system for insomnia sufferers. Guaranteed to work, or your money back.  =D&gt;

Personally, I've 100% cleared Zeroigar, trying to get better at Chip Chan, and am an hour into Team Innocent. I also find Queen of Queens amusing enough, and infuriating enough to keep trying. With my latest order I'll be up to 6 physical games, and my handful of burnt discs. Hardest game to find that I own so far is Nirgends, with the spine card and registration card in tact.

It's the worst halfway decent system I've played, if that makes sense. I'll still enjoy it though.  :)  I think the worst part of it was how NEC and Hudson handled it. It's not the worst hardware in the world.

Arkhan Asylum

Yeah, I like Queen of Queens.

You're highlighting the real problem though.

After playing Zeroigar and CC, you have played 50% of the action titles.   Just bust out Zenki and Ruruli Ra Rura and you're done.

Nirgends is loosely action sometimes.

Team Innocent is a great game, at least.

I think that's one of the best games on the system in terms of using the PCFX as intended.

Yeah, you're right. I can't argue with the lack of games. I knew that going into it, so I wasn't let down in any way by this purchase. I'm honestly into it more than I wanted to be, so I can see myself hanging onto it for the long run lol.  #-o

When you've owned 35 platforms before this, there ain't much left in the scene to play.

"Butt hurt" by your enjoyment. Stop imagining that anyone who disagrees with your (in this case, rather uninformed) opinion is a hater that is bothered by you not being miserable. We do not feel anally raped because you are happy. That's the apex of some straw man bullshit right here, not to mention narcicism. We had our opinion of the FX literally decades before you owned one. We didn't love the thing and then start hating it the second you got here just because we want you to be unhappy. Please choose your words more carefully.

(I knew this guy was an asshole from his very first post. I held back, I don't know why. I guess I'm afraid to jump the gun or something...I hope he's not 12, that would make me sad. Oh shit, now he's talking about rarity and obi and he owns four games. Why do they move on us in such numbers, why oh why?)

Listen, fuckhead, the first game you played was a $500 unicorn fan translated. Something that wasn't even released. Let us know how you feel about the FX after you've owned it for longer than an XBox Live billing cycle.

It's not that it's a hentai only machine, it's that it's a Japanese CDi...which still makes it better than an actual CDi but still probably the worst mainstream game machine of all time just because it has no titles worth playing. Ok, it has four games that would qualify as C-grade PlayStation games (and in some cases, became C grade Playstaion games). You better learn to enjoy looking at its beautiful industrial design more than your TV or you better learn to like shitty FMV things that are barely games at all. You're not going to find: a race car game, a Street Fighter II clone, a platformer, you know, games. Think of everything that's great about the PCE, Neo, MD, and SNES and the only thing it got any decent representation of is mid-tier RPGs, which is probably its strongest suit, and that's not saying much. It does these well because that's pretty much what was going on with PCE as they were winding that down, menu driven things.

Damn, someone really rustled Zeta's jimmies.  :lol:



No butthurt here either.  I don't understand anyone preferring the PC-FX to a PCE*, as it has oodles of great titles similar to those on PC-FX (rpgs, sims, and digi-comics), but I'm genuinely pleased that you're enjoying it so. 

*  -  Having only a core system might be the reason, seeing as many of the most similar titles are discs.

His "experienced Japanese importer" thing, in addition to sounding like human trafficking, I think is based on four years at it. So...since the release of the XBone. The boomiest of the boom years are his only reference so he has no idea why someone would despise collectards. He, like many people, think video games and collectarding are the same thing. He's from circumstances. Lots of noobs here are like that and it's hard to blame them. Most forums have gone full collectard and HGTV and the Learning Channel have made shameless flipping an American virtue.

Also kinda shitty at forums but the background can't be ignored.

Also, he's a "joiner", likes to claim his place in things. Probably respects father/authority figures like cops and dads. "I'm a xxx" is a dead giveaway.

If it was like "Hi, I got a PC FX, this is what I've seen so far." but it came in with this expertise that drove me nuts for some reason...that reason being I've met too many people like him.

Like when someone introduces themselves as an audiophile. Like, when they actually say "I'm an audiophile." I know guys with $30k systems that don't say that, you have to be an audiophile and an joiner both to be an Audiophile, knowwhatimsaying?

You got me intrigued.

On pencils and pens, I wreck them all anyway sooner or later.
During my training years, I had to make architectural drafts on thick, but ever so slightly transparent, drafting paper, using mechanical pencils and rapidograph technical pens. Oh what fun times, when you had to take out razor blades and scratch the ink away to correct errors.

Then, I finally got AutoCAD.

Frixion ball pens are weird.  Try one.   The tips are pointy and kinda scratchy, but they got a clicker and an eraser.

I like the erasability.

They have a lot of tip sizes, too.   

In Japan, you can find tons of cool anime pens of them, too, so you can feel like an even bigger badass when you're scribbling complicated shit down with a bright orange Sailor Venus pen.
