Title: Finally Part of the Club
Post by: tbsjordan on November 20, 2012, 08:32:57 AM
After wanting a PC Engine for a couple years, I can finally say I am the proud owner of a PC Engine Duo-R! A good friend (and fellow forum member-I believe) is getting out of collecting and sold me his complete collection. It feels like Christmas came a little bit early this year. Here's some pics~~~

Thanks so much, everyone. I'm really looking forward to trying these all out. All these will capture my attention for a long time to come I'm sure, but I can't help from already thinking of other titles I want to get haha

Wow awesome collection from your friend! Hopefully he hooked you up. You definitely got some sweet games in there like Hanatakadaka!, Jackie Chan, Kyukyoku Tiger, Ninja Spirit(japanese one is harder to get the the US version so nice score there), Parodius Da and the Ys games. In fact most of those games are awesome!

A great collection!  Unfortunately, you won't be able to play Art of Fighting until you get an Arcade Card Duo...

One other odd thing I noticed, Eternal City's cover art has it spelled "ETRNAL CITY".  :D

yeah but the start up screen is spelled right which is pretty weird! That game is pretty cool once you learn how to play it

Thats a really nice collection you have there, but we have a new club now. After much deliberation we decided to raise the bar. Unless you have a region modded system with either RGB or S-video out, you're not part of the club.

Haha, well one step at a time I suppose.

Yea, an Arcade Card Duo will be one of my next purchases, I really wanna try on that version of Art of Fighting, plus all the other games that support it.

Thanks for the welcomes again everyone. Also another thing I have to say- even though many of the cover artworks I've saw online, it just looks so awesome in person, it's too bad the TG-16 had such generic artwork, because these are some of the best I've ever laid eyes upon. Makes the anticipation of playing the game even stronger.

Derp, I have been on here for years and I still haven't made "The Club."

Nice!

I would recommend that you go ahead and PLAY the games, while making a list of what else you'd like to get and then just keep your eyes open for good deals on what you want rather than just going out and buying up a lot more games right away.

Welcome to the Klub, comrade.

The highlights of your collection: Blodia, Spin Pair, Populous.

Do not forsake these games. Nurture them.




Thanks for the welcomes again everyone. Also another thing I have to say- even though many of the cover artworks I've saw online, it just looks so awesome in person, it's too bad the TG-16 had such generic artwork, because these are some of the best I've ever laid eyes upon. Makes the anticipation of playing the game even stronger.


My friend, TG-16 covers were a bonus (omake, if you will) gifted to all TurboLovers. Sure, some TG-16 are lame, but the same holds true for PCE covers. When you realize that the North American releases only serve to enrich your life (and not detract from it), you will truly have joined the Klub. I have faith in you, comrade. I know that you will see the Truth.

Sterile CGI vs. Trippy-fantastic-psychedelia (PCE cover simply can't compare to TG-16)

I was confused and posted here by accident.

So....

Welcome, once again, to the club.

Fatal Fury Special is absolutely fantastic. It's harder to play the Street Fighter II, but it's amazing crashing down onto opponents as the mighty Kim Kaphwan. Also has kickass arrangements too for all the stages too. :D
