Title: Well, NOW I've gone n' done it...
Post by: punistation on September 28, 2002, 09:48:00 PM

I got me my own PC-FX (yay!).


I bought it from the Yahoo Japan Auction service (just like e-bay).  Naturally, Japanese users never ship internationally, so I used the RINKYA auction service, which bid for you.  Once they get the package, they ship it to the US (or Australia, in my case).

I got mine for $77 US (not including S&H), plus 4 games thrown in.  RINKYA hold it for a month in case you win anything else, so you save on S&H costs.  That allows me some time to pick up a game or two.  I already have TENCHI MUYO FX, and am currently hunting down AKAZUKIN CHA-CHA.


QUESTION:  What about those ANIME FREAK games?  What are they exactly?  AF1 has a Cha-Cha cover, and AF3 has a TM! cover.  Are there games on it, preview samples of games, or just movie clips from the anime?

With Rinkya's commission charges, things get expensive if the purchase isn't sizeble, so I need to know if the games are worth gettin'.  IS there anything in AF3 that is exclusive to that game, and not found on the TM! game itself?  Can anybody help me out on that?

Pwetty pwease?

P.S.  Knowing my luck, a PC-FX emulator will be released in a month or so...

Jen,
   Hope you enjoy your PC-FX. I'm still in the process of trying to get one myself, but with my bank being in the U.S., my base being in Germany, and lonely little me currently in Kuwait, things are a little difficult right now. Oh well, gonna keep trying (maybe eBay). Good luck with everything.

Hi Jen,

Contrats on your PC-FX purchase!  The Anime Freak titles are a collection of lots of goodies - each one usually has FX game previews (in video form), interviews with voice actors/actresses, playable FX game demos, FX/PCE game database info, a playable (simple) FMV type game made just for the Anime Freak series, karaoke songs from Anime/games, and a episode of an anime series (the ones that come on the CD are Private Idol I think)

As for the TM stuff on AF3, all it is, is a LOT of video from the series...nothing really from the game if I remember right.

...and the PC-FX emu is still slow going...we probably won't see our alpha emu until next year (http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif)  Aaron Nanto
