Hey, folks.  This just came in today... no, it's not Strider for the SuperGrafx (I don't think that ever really existed anymore), but it is something that we've never seen!

I'll have to take proper pictures after work and make a webpage, so hang on until then!

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I'm hoping they aren't Battle Ace revisions 1, 2 and 3. :)

Did I mention how awesome this is?

I'm predicting another capcom arcade game (obviously not strider) and.. some puzzle game.

Modem?!? What on Earth gave you that idea?

 It's obviously a prototype cartridge, the same as the others just without the protective plastic casing over the chips.

SG kanfu? Did they port The Kung Fu to SGX? Why!??!?!!?? There are so many more deserving games!

I can't wait for more pictures. I desperately wish to be proven wrong.

As posted above I also would have thought this was an april fools joke if posted a day later.

Awesome!

The suspense is killing me! The first one is clearly Kung-fu, but what the hell could "03" stand for? I hope those last two are two more unique games, but non-final betas would be cool as well.

I hope that the full reveal isn't just an April Fools joke, with or without fake screenshots. If they are earlier versions of released games, I hope that there are noticeable differences. The prototype hucards look very cool and much nicer than any I've seen in the past.

Knowing Chris, he could very well have programmed a SuperGrafx demo (like China Warrior with added parallax and/or multiple human enemies onscreen) to release as a "long lost" rom on April 1st. I really hope that it isn't a prank, but it will likely still be pretty cool even if it is. :P

Maybe one of the games is R-Type SGX. :wink:
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!

Congrats on picking up a truly one of a kind treasure!  =D&gt; I (and I'm sure a few other collectors) am envious of you right now. If possible, could you upload more pics, and a video of super kung fu running? I would love to see the game in action especially with the added parallax. Ah to live in Japan...

It's so hard to trust people around this time of year so I just don't even bother.  It could be true, but thanks to April 1 I am gonna say that you are full of shit for now.  April 1 only amuses the pranksters.

Yeah, especially since this is coming from a guy who could easily make semi-functional ROMs of this stuff himself.

Real or not, The Super Kung Fu is fucking hilarious. It makes Art of Fighting look like Katate Champ, sprite-wise.

This is exactly the kind of quality production I'd hoped for. :P Although overreaching made it less plausible, it is all the more entertaining (like the fake Bio Force Ape proto) and impressive. Still, very creative. I love all the hardware features. :)

It's too bad that a higher quality image of the Power Console wasn't available for the base of the photoshopping. But it still wouldn't have made sense for the extra controller ports to have a handle bar blocking them from use. :wink: Also, as cool as it would have been to have had Bruce Lee pose for the 'much more smooth' animation, I don't think that he was available at the time. :P

Of course those are only some of the more convincing aspects. I hope that the screenshots are from actual roms that Chris created. :D

I love how it's called "The SUPER Kung-Fu". =D&gt;

A very nice gift to the PCE community, which doesn't receive enough April Fools' gags. :)

I do have to give props to The Super Kung Fu, though I doubt it could compete with the awesomeness of Super Thunderblade.  But the character is still too small.
