I could not find a thread in here like this so I thought I could start one. It will be good to see other Pc engine fans collections. You can check mine out here along with my other stuff.

Man alive!!!!!! :shock:
Nice work Cozzie. I only buy/collect retro japanese games/systems (don't really play them these days, it's more of a nostalgia thing) and that is possibly one of the most stunning sights I've ever seen.
Let me know the minute you decide to sell any stuff you have two of.

Jesus Christ, I can't tell you how jealous I am. Holy cr*p. Why do you folks tease us? Seriously? I'd be happy with ONE copy of Sylphia, godammit.
And I LOVE that someone had Giger sign the Necromancer cover art. Did he sign the HuCard as well (that would be icing on the cake)?
And, I love the Momotaro HuCard and CD sleeve folder.... in our recent thread on HuCard folders, NONE of us has found a nice solution for adding the instruction booklets (not that it is necessary, of course). Sure, the folks with the large binders might have a simple solution, but the smaller binders / cases don't accomodate the manuals too well.
Goddam. You and cozzie and a bunch of other folks (dj898, for instance) just have too much. I can't handle it. I'm drooling. Sad but true.

oh..for sure i asked him for that (where the card-owners name can be placed) and his answer was something like that: "this is just a piece of pastic shit which i really don't like to sign, because it's really disagreeable to me"! *haha*
and when he took the booklet from me, he also asked me what's all about that? because he couldn't remember him self that he ever agreed with anyone that this artwork can be used for something like that. so i explained him, that this soft already is about 16 years old and may be you just can't remember. so he just shaked his head and signed it commentless! *hehe*

Holy crap! Wicked awesome story. On the HuCard, at least, there is a copyright notice that the illustration is from Giger. I was always annoyed by that notice because the text covered up the bottom of the image on the HuCard, which was already too small.
So *you* were the one who had Giger sign it, huh? Brilliant! As your account reveals, there are few (*if any*) Necromancer games signed by Mr. Giger. Brilliant!

another Giger story, when he came to our town man years before to sign all kind of his weird stuff, a friend of mine gave him a video game mag which contains a test of alien 3 for SNES/SFC as well as an alien 3 artwork on the front cover. then he took the mag, turned over some pages, shaked his head again and said something like:"what do all those pople with my creatures nowadays? i have no controll about it"! weird weird :lol:

Seriously, it must be pretty crazy to know that your art became such a big part of pop culture, worldwide. Granted, it took a Hollywood blockbusters like Alien / Aliens to start things off, along with Konami's huge success with Contra, but still... pretty crazy.
Moreso because Mr. Giger probably isn't the biggest video game connoiseur: it is a realm that his art permeates yet is unfamiliar to him. That's gotta be odd.
Too bad Giger's more risque art hasn't made it into some mainstream films. That would be pretty wild.

oh that was a very easy part to do that. because he's living just next to our town somewhere (where i lived before), and swiss is a very very small village anyway, so from time to time he was hired by a bookstore e.g for the signing of any kind of his stuff, so i just had the idea to let to sign my necromancer from him, that's it ;)

Your stories about this just keep getting more awesome :D ! How did he react when he saw the PCE game? Did he even ask what it was?
Also Tatsujin, that Swiss meeting sounds cool! Do you have any more info about that? I think I might've saw pictures for it on some site, but it might've been for France instead. I just remember the pictures having two PCE LT's hooked up to PCE CDROM2 units. Also if you don't mind my questions, how big is the PCE in Switzerland? I have heard that the PCE scene is somewhat big out there.
Title: Pc Engine collections
Post by: esteban on June 23, 2006, 05:25:55 AM
OK, Tatsujin, here's the scoop: For some reason I thought you were from the U.K. I don't know why, but I did. Otherwise, I would have mentioned earlier that my grandfather was from Widnau.
Quote from: "tangent!"
Widnau is a town in the St. Gallen canton near the Austrian and German border. Lake Constance borders all this stuff. We have relatives that still live in Widnau, but they've only come to the U.S. a few times and it was really my grandfather who was keeping the relationships active (he visited Switzerland a lot during his later years).
My Grandpa's family name is Swiss-German (Gugger) originally coming from Austria, IIRC, but if you ever meet a "Fry" in Widnau, there's a good chance that they are somehow related to me. There are lots and lots of "Fry's" in Widnau (my great-grandma's family line), but not so many Gugger's.
Now, due to the absolutely SEXIST policy of the Swiss government (correct me if this has been changed in the last 15-20 years), I am not eligible for Swiss citizenship (or dual-citizenship), since the privelege doesn't pass down through daughters (my mom). But my cousins are eligible since it passes down through sons (my uncles).
Of course, I'd have to serve in the Swiss "military / army reserves" (I forget how it is referred to) as a requisite for dual-citizenship, which would never have happened (I'm a peacenik).
Anyway, that's my Swiss anecdote for the day. Are you familiar with Widnau or St. Gallen? I've never been there, so I've always been curious about it.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: my grandpa played the zither... when he wasn't playing it, he was listening to recordings. He was totally into it. I don't know if nowadays anyone under 70 years of age plays the zither.

That's the last one I took like a few months ago. I didn't have Barunba yet
(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a13/Oldschoolage/000_0015.jpg) Blast from the past. This used to be my Turbo collection, then when the black PCE Duo died which was the day before my copy of Dracula X came in the mail, booyah! Turbo/PCE hiatus in a can. I'll never forget that violent surge of disappointment realizing my then newly acquired Dracula X would have to sit on the shelf for six months.

Title: Pc Engine collections
Post by: Tatsujin on October 05, 2006, 03:38:58 PM
some people say, there is the 20Mbit storage. since i never open one (though i could do it since the game doesn't cost more than 500yen (~$5) usually), i can't confirm that. may be i will open one in the future, if i can find one lose for less than 200yen (~$2) :P
but may be it is the same story as for the populous and its not existing battery in the bulge. vapor only :P

those are some big ass collections there.
I'm only gonna stick with the HuCARDs for now. My stuff mostly gets stored away though:
my humble list of PCE games although thats probably gonna get a few more additions between now and the new year. (http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/IMG_0422.jpg)
my early collection. used to have coryoon but sold that and few other games on ebay. (http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/pcenginecollection.jpg)

I'd have to dissagree with that, they do make some TINY batteries. For example, the tennokoe bank has the same type of battery that would have went in the populous card.

I don't have any pics of my collection. Its not very impressive, but I'll tell what it isn't: Its isn't $10,000 worth of still shrink-wrapped NEC crap shoved into cardboard boxes like 20 year old Christmas cards.
Show some respect. By a motherf*cking bookcase or something! Damn!

haha easy for you to say that but I guess you don't live in an area where several of your neighbours have been broken into and had their possessions stolen which is why I don't like displaying things for all to see..
The other reason.. well I had few instances when mates came over and while im away either on the phone or in the kitchen checking food, they look at my games take out the manual, it gets creased, folded up, left lying around and manual ends up being sat on and a big foot print embedded on the pages. I'm pretty sure if you encounted that you too will end up putting your stuff away in wrapping etc..
and as for the battery.. the empty pocket fits the size of CR2032 battery. I keep thinking its those batteries which are used.

If my friends were the type of people who left footprints in the manuals of my PCE games I'd get new friends.

Yeah, I actually do own both. But the reason I can quickly spot the difference is because I studied both to figure out all the recognizable traits.

Post by: herr-g on October 18, 2006, 06:45:09 AM
@Thibaut Unfortunately i got almost only official releases except the samples and special versions on the picture. I'd love to come by a Hu7D or some protos (not to mention everyone's dream, the "PowerConsole") but without a deep search within japan there's nearly no chance to get those. Yahoo Japan offers only very few interesting items these days (thanks to the growing number of rinkya buyers) so it's very hard sometimes for a european to catch real rarities (as you might know by yourself). Sure everyone got it's personal contact over there but getting more than the "usual stuff" is pretty hard that way. I'd love to see you french guys' collections, especially your protos and adol's whole stuff. A few years ago i bought some games from him, so i'm quite aware of the huge mass of PCE-stuff he owns. Sample HuCard rulez indeed 8)
@vestcoat Activity in forums needs much free time, and that's what is very rare for me these days. From time to time i keep an eye over the interesting boards and place a post if i feel like i have something to tell or ask. Unfortunately the german PCE-boards have become more and more worse so this one is for sure one of my favs.

Well, at one point I myself was about 20 official releases shy of a complete collection (I didn't care about prototypes and such) and I had enough hardware to fill a room... I'ds say there are 2 reasons you don't here from these people... one is that once you've reached that point, you pretty much know everything and in forums you only serve to provide insight, which isn't as much fun as having questions about the system you're collecting for. Another thing is many of the hardcore collectors finished a long time ago... I mean I reached my peak in 2001, and I thought I was a latecomer, because a lot the collectors I knew then had pretty much everything by '97 or '98. Frankly I'm surprised that people still collect PCE games... but it's a pleasant surprise ;)
Anyway, I am glad to see that herr-g owns The TV Show. It's one of my proudest pieces because it was so damn hard to find and, for some silly reason, I am a big fan of games by Right Stuff, so I just had to have it ^^;;; Even though I sold off a big chunk of my collection I still have this title.

Well, this post won't earn me any friends, but I think what you just wrote there is pretty f*cked. Seeing this much cash spent on stuff nobody will ever play, honestly, makes me f*cking sick to my stomach and knowing that people like you respond in exactly the way H2RdC0r3 collectors often hope (with massively misguided adoration/worship) is even worse.
A guy that owns 600 PCE games owns more bad games than I have games period. The PCE library is pretty solid, but there have to be 170 pieces of shit in there at the very least. How can someone be proud of owning 170+ pieces of shit? Even if one is hung up on spending money to attempt (and fail) to find happiness, I think a vintage Alpha Romeo, or a trip to Paris would vastly cooler.
How can owning a copy of Sylphia do anything to boost the ego of a rational well-adjusted mind? Try learning a new language, or a musical instrument, or something meaningful other that just buying someone else's work.
I don't want to sound like that girl that dumped you, but...get a damn life, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

I'ds say there are 2 reasons you don't here from these people... one is that once you've reached that point, you pretty much know everything and in forums you only serve to provide insight, which isn't as much fun as having questions about the system you're collecting for. Another thing is many of the hardcore collectors finished a long time ago
I'd say the reason you don't hear from most of these people is that they don't actually play through the vast majority of games they own. They usually have little to contribute on forums aside from lists or pictures of their collections. I guarantee you that there are guys around here with much smaller collections who can provide far more insight than most people with "near-complete" collections.

A crap PCE game is still interesting to me, as a rabid PCE fan. I understand what you guys mean though, about people who collect stuff they have no intention of playing.
But other people's lifestyles don't bother me at all.

What bugs me is that certain rare games are extremely difficult to acquire for people who are genuinely interested in playing them, while these "collectors" display them in some case and have probably never put them through more than a test run, if that. Madou Monogatari is a good example. Brilliant game, but practically impossible to find these days. You can spot it more often in collectors' photographs of their trophy cases than anywhere else. I'm glad (and lucky) I bought it when I did, but I wish other people could experience it too.

Hey door-knob, I'm offended by what you wrote. It's harsh and judgmental and I'm upset. You have a point about the idol worship in my post, but that's about it. The motivation of my post was to say "How come you guys with all the games aren't more active around here?" I threw in a hefty measure of descriptive, idol-worship nonsense because I enjoy writing like that.
I don't know about everyone else, but this forum is the one place in my life where I go to dork it up, talk to fellow gamers and be a kid again. You've posted more than me in half the time I've had an account. I also own fewer games than you. Does that make you a loser? Of course not.
I bust my ass 45 hours a week for an environmental group. I play in two bands and have an album out on label. I sew my own clothes, make instruments out of metal, and manage to keep my 25 year old motorcycle running. I quit drinking and have been with my girl for a year. My band played a gig with the guitarist from the Cramps and the Bad Seeds tonight and I don't have a credit card. That said, I still like Transformers, Weird Al, Men Without Hats and TurboGrafx games. Everybody is a dork; football players, yuppies, politicians...everybody. Some people are just more socially accepted than others.
Where do you get off judging your fellows on the forum you frequent?
I think TurboGrafx games kick ass. I think herr-g and most everyone on this forum kicks ass. Guys like herr-g who own a couple copies of Sapphire don't piss me off. That doesn't affect me. The guys who piss me off are the vermin like Bullseye who jack prices up on ebay. I'm happy to be at a point in my life where I can finally afford some of these games I drooled over as a kid. I couldn't afford them when I was 12 because I didn't get allowance and my paper route pulled in $25 a month. No, these games are not going to make me happy, but I'm still damn proud of my copy of Sylphia.
And by the way, I also have the original Optimus Prime, Darth Vader and the Millennium Falcon. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. \m/

@SignOfZeta How can you talk that bad about people you don't know? Sure everyone got it's own point of view but how can one be so intolerant? Man, i think you didn't read the topic text. You should open up a new thread called "Bad people those PC-Engine game collectors who own games that i don't like". This one is called "PC Engine Collections". I guess you didn't get that.
Just to make it clear: This is a place where people meet because of their shared madness about everything around PCE and PCFX. For me it started in the summer of 1990 when i first saw that magic white box attached to the first CD-ROM drive i ever saw. I played Monsterlair with authentic CD-Audio :shock: . Since that day i fell totally in love with everything regarding PCE. And so grew my collection. Slowly but steady. Almost all the money i earned (through hard work) i spent for PCEngine games. The next years i worked all the holidays through just to get the cash for new games. I was just crazy about my PCEngine. And that's what i still am. Only that now i got a wife and a 45h IT-administrator job (Hi vestcoat :roll: ). So please, don't think about poeple like me as kind of rich daddy-boys that simply order a bunch of hundred games a month. Everything's just a question of time and patience.
By the way: Did you ever play through "Ys 4", "Kaze No Densetsu Xanadu II" or "Sol Moonarge"? That games are really woth the time.

This is why I don't have a problem with people downloading free isos or even paying for someone to burn them sets of old games for defunct systems, when for so many titles, even money can't buy them.

I've been searching for Sol Moonarge for years now. Ever since I tried the demo in one of the Hyper Catalogs. I know its actually for sale every so often now and doesn't go for more than $30, but every time I find it on eBay, it's under completed auctions. :cry:
But yeah, Ys IV & LOXII are two of the best PCE games are really fun.

Black Tiger, Japan Game Stock has one up for sale right now for around $35 I think.
I have no problem with people collecting huge lots of stuff and not playing them, It's like collecting figures or cards, people who do that don't actually play with their toys or cards, they just enjoy amassing huge collections. Its probably tons of fun if you have the money, I mean who doesn't enjoy getting new stuff in the mail all the time? I don't see why anyone would be hostile towards these people though, it's just a f*cking video game, why act like a gaytarded shit-licker just because some people have huge collections and you don't? Big f*cking deal.

Thanks a lot, I should be able to swing that after the weekend. :)
I play with my Masters Of The Universe figures, although not as much as I used to. Of course, I also have like 600 of them, even though they only ever made like 65, so I'll admit to letting a few hundred sit in storage.
And although it'll make 'hardcore' toy "collectors" cry, I do open new and vintage sealed packages. I don't like to think of myself as a collector, since I have genuine interest in interacting with most fun-oriented things I "collect". But other people can call themselves whatever they want and do whatever they want with their own stuff.
This doesn't mean that some extreme cases don't affect me. "Collectors" destroyed an entire toy line. The recent MOTU series never even got to really hit stores, because toy store employees were snatching all the popular figures before or as soon as they hit shelves and either scalped them online or to people would hold them hostage for even more.
And thanks to the new generation of MOTU snerds, Mattel was talked into short printing a lot of popular characters to artificially increase their value on the "secondary market". But all this did was eliminate the primary market.
At least you can download an iso of Renny Blaster or buy a bootleg of Sapphire. Where's my $10 Keldor?

Well, I've been trying to figure out exactly what I kind of response I wanted to write to this thread for a month or so. I knew I wanted to write something about collectors/collections/collection worshipers that disgust me, but I couldn't articulate it until you helped me with your post, which was bascially a testament to materialism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialism), or at least it seemed that way.

No, see, that's something that's pretty much just wrong. I have no idea who Bullseye is, but eBay price gouging is pretty harmless, IMO. They only get the money that people gladly shell out. If someone owns multiple copies of a hella rare title, it most definitely raises the price. I mean, if someone owned 75 copies of Darius Alpha, the price would triple. Not that the thing is worth more than $5 to me, but thats simply supply/demand. Sapphire is nowhere near as rare obviously, but every copy the guy has is one less copy on the market, and since the print run is much much less lower than what it should have been, I'd be surprised if it didn't have a direct effect on the price of the next copy sold on eBay.

I consider myself a game collector, though my collection is nothing compared to many others around here. I still enjoy playing games and play them all the time, but another reason why I enjoy collecting games is because I love looking and reading at the packaging. It's just a real fun hobby of mine reading through every instruction manual and admiring the cover art for games. GUTS also makes a good point that it's always a great feeling to receive a bunch of new games in the mail.

You did not call me a "dork" but please read your post again and think how you would react if you were a stranger reading it and unaware of the tone you were trying to convey. The final message I boiled your comments down to was "You're a dork, get a life." You said a lot of personal things that had nothing to do with your point about the foolishness of seeking happiness through material goods.
Remember that things get blown out of proportion easily when we communicate through email and message boards. We have a lot of stuff in common and I'm sure we're all here for the same reason. That said, PCE games are so awesome it's easy to get carried away and lose track of more important things. I'm sure there's plenty of room for friendly teasing and the occasional reality check around here. Please be wary of personal comments and making assumptions.
Speaking of making assumptions... I don't know how big your collection is. The 170 bad games figure seemed like a weird number when you mentioned it. If herr-g has more bad games then you have total games, I suspected your collection to be something around the 170 range. Was I right?
I also have Folk of the 80s (Part lll) and Rhythm of Youth on vinyl. My dad introduced me to Men Without Hats when I was young and when I played NES games with exceptionally bad soundtracks it would turn down the volume and listen to Men Without Hats instead. It’s pretty good video game music. My favorite song is "I Like."

The 170 figure was just a guess at how many bad PCE games there are. I actually don't know how many games I have. Let me go count...
...
...OK, it looks like 203, but only 30 of those are PCE titles. There are a few things in the mail right now, and I also have a shared collection of SuperNES stuff. My SNES collection is intigrated in with my girlfriend's and we keep all the stuff at her place.

I didn't even have a PS until 2002. Its pretty fun picking up all the PS games I ever wanted for $1-2 each. I definitely made the right choice in supporting the Saturn back then.

Hey Tatsujin, cool pic! But what's that other CD above the game? Can't make out the details on it. Looks like a PC game or audio CD.
Dunno if anybody else remembers (or even knew), but back in the mid 90s, NEC was using the Bazaaru de Gozaaru monkey as a mascot for all their computer stuff. I don't know how long the ads went, but I remember seeing some for NEC PCs and seeing flyers and such in computer stores. IIRC, the PCE game came at the tail end of that campaign. Today, NEC still has Bazaaru de Gozaaru stuff but I don't think they're promoted with PCs and stuff as much anymore.
For the even more curious, Bazaaru de Gozaaru means "It's a bazaar". But the name of the monkey is Bazaaru de Gozaaru, so that makes things more "interesting" when it comes to translation. BTW the game is called "Bazaaru de Gozaaru's game!". :D

@akamichi: the upper cd is a give away (hibaihin) pc soft cd-rom from '95 which content some information and flash-productcatalogs as well as a flash-game "bazaaru de gozaaru wo sagase", a game where you have to look for the monky which hold a plate in the air by up/down/right/left navigation and zoom funktion. found it in an old pasokon-store.
btw: the saru-maskott is still in use for CMs etc. nowadays. the mouse-pad and note-paper i got at the security and crisis exhibition last week in big sight from the NEC-booth. the ruler is dated to '91 and back then the slogan was written in strange french "bazzaru dé gozaaré"..haha.
for us pce lover, the release of the game "bazaaru de gozaaru no geemu de gozaaru" in '95 is probably the most interessting part of all those saru-staff. :wink:

Isn't Dragon Knight II a porn game? I remember EGM telling me that I'd be corrupted by naked girls if I dared to play the game.
Depends on what you consider porn. I believe that its just a plain old RPG where you fight sexy women and they're costumes get ripped up enough when they're defeated to peak at a nipple or two.
Plus the damsels you rescue like to wait around for you in sexy poses.

Dragon Knight II is really, really good. III and Graffiti are also quality games. Sure, they show a little anime-girl skin, but they're definitely not smut.

Is graffetti a remake of Dragon Knight I? I know it has something called Graffetti mode, but what is it? This is one I keep meaning to buy, but I have barely touched II and Madou Monogatari is a lot better.
Also Dragon Knight III was released in the USA for PC as the the infamous "Knights of Xentar." It has really awful English dubbing and is absoluetly hillarious. Search around the internet and you should find a copy without much trouble...

Yes, DK&G is the first Dragon Knight with a "graffiti" mode that lets you see graphics from DK2 and DK3 as well. They may as well have called it a spoiler mode, really. If you don't like DK2, I don't imagine you'd like DK&G either.

Wait! There is a Gameboy Magical Chase? Holy crap, why haven't we heard of that before? Or have we?
IIRC, wasn't there some obscure PC (computer) version of Magical Chase as well, with Redbook audio? Or, if that's not correct, wasn't there some obscure Magical Chase soundtrack promo for the PC (computer) version?
Crap, I remember somebody talking about this 2-3 years ago. Maybe it wasn't pertaining to Magical Chase...
EDIT: WTF? Black_Tiger, I just saw your videos on YouTube. I guess I totally missed the discussion about Gameboy Magical Chase that may have taken place here recently? Damn!

The only time I've ever seen it for sale was when 16-bit had it on eBay. I couldn't afford to buy it right away for close to $100, but was lucky enough to get it for $75 by the time I had the cash. To me, its the most valuable of the three versions, since its rarer than the Turbo game.
Its also nearly identical, with only resized sprites and less color. It actually has most of the layered bgs which were supposed to impossible even on PC Engine. I've got a GBC/PCE comparison in the works, but its still a few spaces down the list behind some more important projects I need to finish.

I've read about a runour computer version before, but have never seen anything about it online, so I assume it was never made.

One is the PC Engine Fan version and one is the regular version. Its just a publishing thing, the actual game itself is the same and they're both about equally as rare and valuable.

Hey Black_Tiger, I remember someone posting a picture of a Magical Chase CD (CD-ROM or Audio CD music sampler, I can't recall), but I forget which forum it was on (it might have been one of the old "Turbo Boards" that Runin, GUTS and others are familiar with).
Anyway, I'm not sure what it was, but I'd just love to see it again, even if it is as authentic as Strider SuperGrafx HuCards :).
Also, you kick ass with all of the projects you're working on. I still haven't seen all of the stuff you've done, but the Magical Chase comparison sounds awesome. Keep on rockin' :).

Hey Tatsujin! What is the official title for the Giger piece used as coverart for Necromancer? I was trying to find the title, but I haven't gotten close (I wasn't able to find a lot of images, outside of Giger's most popular stuff).
An old friend of mine has lots of Giger books, but I don't know if / when he'll get back to me ...
I should point out that I am assuming that the artwork in question was not specifically commissioned by Hudson, but rather an existing work of Giger's that someone at Hudson liked.
Thanks in advance!

sorry guys, no idea what's the name of it. but saw it once in an artbook i was leafing through in a bookstore back in swiss.
the sign-story: when i handed over the game to mr. giger for signing it, he took it, investigated it and ask me "what kind of strange thing is that? i can't remember i ever did anything for such kind of business recently". then i refered to the date when the game was made. so he respond "oh, i see, i must have totally forgot about that, haha".
after he signed the manual, suddenly i had probably the best idea ever im my life. i liked to get a signed HuCard as well, and were a HuCard can be signed the best? haha!
but..
when he took the HuCard in his hand he respond "what shit piece of plastic is that? that's really unappealing to me, therefore i do not like to sign it, sorry!" :(
may be i should send him a copy of necromancer to his adress so he can exibit it in his museum in swiss (Gruyère) ;)

Hey, thanks for all the info -- great story!
It's a shame he didn't sign the HuCard, but his reasoning for not signing it is certainly entertaining.
I am glad that you saw the Necromancer coverart in one of his books, that means that I will be able to find the title relatively easily (well, if my friend helps me, anyway).
Do you remember what year you saw it? This would help me eliminate any book / collection that has been published since then.
I think it would be awesome to send Giger a HuCard for the museum. I don't think it has been widely documented at Giger fansites.

huh..sorry but totally can't remember which artbook it was nor from which era it is. just leafed through some books which were lying around in the book store once.
but since the artwork is now at least 20years old, it may be could be found in one of his earlier (mid-era) books. but most pobably it could be in his book Necronomicon (ISBN 3855910197), since it only handles about this theme.
or how to send a copy of the cover to the email on the offical page and ask for it? :)

there is an other story when Giger once game to our town for signing books and goods. it was about in the year 1993, at the time when Alien 3 came out for the SFC/SNES. coz my friend didn't have any stuff from Giger to sign, he decided to let him sign a german video game magazine (called "Video Games"), which a picture of Alien 3 was shown on the front page.
after my friend gave it to Giger, he was leafing throug the mag and saw the ingame pictures, after a few seconds he shaked his head and said:"what in god's name those people just do with my creatures nowadays??" then he signed the title page and gave it back to my friend.

It must be pretty crazy for him to see how much his work has entered pop art / pop culture. I imagine that from his perspective, his work has been diluted and cheapened and exploited.
Personally, I'd love to reach a point where I could lament the fact that people were bastardizing my art! :)
And, Tatsujin, I think you had a great idea: I should send the Necromancer coverart to a Giger fansite and ask them to identify it for me. Thanks!

i think he's just done with all those who wants to make cash with his creations after and after again, and sometime i believe, even without his notice and agreements. may be giger's advocacy wasn't the best back in the days. after the production of species 1 was done, he also abandon any connections to hollywood. too many times he's gotten disappointed by those who think they can make it better than himself or didn't let him work as he'd liked to do.

Kind of a shame realy, but i don't blame him it's not fun... when you don't have controll over what you create.
When.. i was watching the behind scenes disc for alien 3 from the alien quadrilogy boxset.
Giger made the comment that he was disapointed.That the studio didn't realy work with, him on how design went for the alien in alien 3.
Still fox has done it's job by runining the alien serise all ready :P
Title: Re: Pc Engine collections
Post by: Tatsujin on August 23, 2007, 04:56:55 PM
the problem is, that all his job-oriented works and its rights where given away to its client (e.g Alien to FOX), therefore they can do with those creatures what they want and how long they want (e.g. > figures, video games, merchandise and and and), without needing to ask or even pay something to its creator (ok, i'm not aware of the exact contract terms, but i think it works kind like that). that's/was may be his problem of how to manage business, but in the other hand it was his own desicion as well as the big chance to earn the glory, back then and still today.

Promotional SCD re-release of Tengai Makyou - Ziria and Deden No Den (promotional release of bomberman with Far East of Eden characters).
I have the pictured (SCD) version of Ziria. I had no idea it was a promotional release. What's different about it from the normal version (which I have never played apparently)?
I also have the Bomberman '94 Denden no Den game. Fun game, but you can't choose the CPU as a player. :(

As far as the difference between Ziria CD and SCD: the SCD version was recompiled for SCD and the script is compressed so it does use the extra memory of the SCD unit.
.... which would lead me to believe that it would have less frequent loads.

yeah, those special versions of bomberman only contains the vs. mode, for the yearly hudson competitions back in the time :)
taikenban means promotial soft, this goes for the BM'94, which then came out on a SCD. same fot the "deden no den kabuki". which again is the BM'94 but with kabuki characters instead of bombermen, as well on a SCD.
as for the shooting special versions, they where made for yearly hudson competition purposes as well.
concerning tengai makyô ziria, i dunno know well about, what's the differences. never went in seriously so far.
darius alpha was a give away present for those fast people who purchased darius plus and super darius, and sent back a small triangular snippet out from the manuals backside.
still missing hudson specials: Bomberman user battle, PC Genjin 3 taikenban, power league gold hucard, which will cost me probably more than i've already spent on those specials :(

People don't understand the meaning behind my video :D ! It's not to discriminate people with Harlequin's disease or anything, it's just a test video when I first started using Ulead Video Studio! I quickly chose a couple videos off my computer and it ended up being that one and the Alf clip. I hope more people stick around for the Alf part :( .

I don't think I've ever sat through a full episode of the live-action Alf but I used to occasionaly watch the Saturday morning cartoon...

If I ever get the time to take pics I will,but basically between me and the kids here we have a 2-Slot MVS with a tad over 35 games I think,a black GameCube with around 60 titles,a Wii with around 6 games, a pink DS lite,and a silver normal DS with around 14 DS titles,a CoreGrafx with Super Cd-rom and around 55-58 titles, 2 Nes decks and around 40 games for those,a few computers,lots of Pc games,and a little bit of Jamma pcb stuff. Also still some Genesis and import Ps1 stuff and a Mini Ps1 sitting here. I think that is it. I know this is for Pc Engine thread wise,but might as well post a basic breakdown of everything and be done with it.

there're may be big differences for different type of LCD/TFT products, but generally you never will bring the picture such nice and purely on a screen as by a good old CRT via RGB input. and for the most products i've seen in the past, old 16-bitter doesn't make a good figure on such new highend screens.
but beamers generally looking better than any LCD/TFT screens i've seen up to now.

I think I just found that out at my friend's place last night. He was doing some shit so I decided to download armagetron on his computer and give it a go. He has an LCD and the picture was terrible. I thought it just might have been the default graphics so I downloaded and installed a moviepack, but the picture was still sketchy. It was just all blurry. Like armagetron on LSD. Everything was trailing if you know what I mean. Oh, and I'm pretty sure his video card is good. He was playing Command and Conquer with no issues. The FPS on Armagetron was also quite good or as good as mine at least.
I love my flatscreen CRT. :clap: But are there any equal, high quality LCDs that won't have that blur/wave effect?

The response times have been greatly improved, and new sets are coming on the market with 120hz refresh rates to reduce motion blur. I still don't think that any of these sets will equal a quality CRT, but they're getting close.

makes sense. Things do look a little blocky on my LCD monitor, while interlace mode just looks "artificially blurred"

The main problem with retro consoles on HDTV's isn't refresh rates, its that they upscale the low res signals in ugly ways. I don't know if a HD CRT would have the same problem.

There's no such thing has "Hz" on lcd/plasma displays. They don't work that way.
And for picture quality, lcd is the absolute best way to go. A crt can never look as sharp.

Yeah, but as another user mentioned, when dealing with retro consoles you get unpredictable results when the set upscales the lower-res video output from the console. Usually the side effects are ugly. I found this out the hard way with my Dreamcast.

You know not of what you speak - do some research before trolling. All LCDs change their image at a specific rate, usually 60 cycles per second with newer models at 120 cycles. Your idea of picture quality is rather narrow, as LCDs excel only in sharpness and brightness. They are inferior to a quality CRT for color rendition, contrast, viewing angles, response times, and the ability to display differing screen resolutions. Admittedly, my point is somewhat moot, as quality CRTs are as rare as hen's teeth these days (new ones, anyway).

I have to agree Necro. I love my CRT. None of my other friends' LCDs match the clarity and resolution of my CRT. I do not suggest playing Armagetron Advanced with a low to medium grade LCD. The blur and image trailing makes the game virtually unplayable.

He has a point. Refresh rate on an LCD operates a bit differently than refresh rate on a CRT monitor. Yes, it's how often the image is updated, but the manner in which the image is updated can play a big role, and LCDs update much differently from CRTs. Also, only modern LCDs excel at brightness. LCDs always used to have a reputation for being dim. Thankfully, those days are largely behind us (except in cheap laptops). Further, LCDs are extremely sharp at their native resolution, but when they are displaying a non-optimal resolution LCD image quality often appears blurry compared to other screens.
I would say that watching non-HD video on an LCD HD screen, for example, is a somewhat disappointing experience. This includes, of course, classic video games.

well my small humble collection.. I used to have Coryoon but I sold it on ebay.. wished I kepted it now.. Just after Tatsujin and Aeroblasters and I probably be happy and work on the cd rom stuff maybe near christmas time..
Broken pc engine.. Well the seller said it was working and it came from i think singapore.. it was just posted of too me in a vanilla envelope with no bubble wrap.. I couldn't get it to work even though you turn it on you just get a white screen so I just took it apart... (http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/IMG_1646.jpg)

What the F is that card in the lower right corner? That bulge looks bigger than most other bulges.
It's Kyuukyoku Mahjong Idol Graphic by Hacker International/Games Express. Yeah, it's a bootleg game, and uses an EPROM under that huge bulge rather than the typical custom-manufactured ROM board that NEC used. It's also one of the cheapest, "cheatingest" mahjong games I've ever played.

I'm currently using these little mini milk crates. They're actually pretty neat, but they've just gotten filled up. At this point I'd rather invest in a shelving unit or some sort of display rather than keep on buying the mini crates.
Title: Re: Pc Engine collections
Post by: blueraven on August 15, 2010, 08:03:52 AM
They work great, don't they?
The dairy supply place a few blocks from my house throws out the old crates that are slightly damaged or have been hit by graffiti. Whenever I see a usable crate in 1 piece I grab it, they usually dump the ones they don't want the night before the recycling truck comes by, and sometimes they do have to be hosed down. :-&
Fortunately, after a good cleaning they stack very nicely, and keep the collection organized, if not immediately accessible.

Lol, sure old pic again, but still using those comfy boxes:
I've very much sadly missing Rondo of Blood, Gate of Thunder, Winds/Lords of Thunder, Spriggan, Bonk's Revenge and YsI&II (of course more, but those are at the top of my list to get next). As for my low quality picture? Too bad! I'll make another later when I have more stuff again.
My PC Engine is region modded, thanks to Turbokon. My TG-16 just kind of looks pretty on the shelf.

Well, I just got my first ever disc-based video game system last night! :D :D :D
I just got a region-modded PCEngine Duo from Keith Courage.
The U.S.-released Turbo CD games that I already have are as follows (all CIB):
Addams Family, The Buster Bros. Cosmic Fantasy 2 Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes Final Zone II Lords of the Rising Sun Magical Dinosaur Tour Might & Magic III: Isles of Terra - with map! Prince of Persia Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Vol. 2 Sim Earth: The Living Planet Valis II
- I recently picked the above up in a lot with some HuCard games and some PCEngine HuCard and CD games as follows (all CIB):
Bloody Wolf Bomberman '94 Demo CD Denjin (Super Air Zonk) Detana Twin Bee Double Dragon 2 Dynastic Hero Gradius 2 Gofer Gate of Thunder Godzilla Image Fight Kiki KaiKai (Pocky & Rocky series prequel) Kunio Soccer Kunio Kun Dai Undokai (Crash and the Boys Street Challenge, I think) New Zealand Story (Kiwi Kraze) PC Denjin (Air Zonk) Side Arms Special Strider HiryuuShubibinman 3 (Shockman 3) Super Darius Super Star Soldier Violent Soldier Wonder Momo Wonder Boy 3 Monster Lair Zero Wing
If anyone wants to give me some ideas for which games I should pursue next (although I plan to be busy playing the above), I'd love to hear them. I have absolutely no experience with any Turbo CD games or PCEngine games other than online reviews.

Your first ever disc-based system? You don't have a PS1 or PS2 or anything???
Get Dracula X, Lords (Winds) of Thunder, YsI&II, R-Type, Bonk's Adventure/PC Genjin, Alien Crush (or Devil's Crush) and Blazing Lazers/Gunhed. Those should be your priorities IMO.

Nope, the only game systems that I've ever owned are as follows (in order of acquiring):
NES Game Boy SNES TurboGrafx-16 Game Gear Game Boy Color Game Boy Advance Nintendo DS Turbo DUO
I have played a few computer games through the years (Warcraft, Warcraft II, Age of Empires - and its expansions, but that's been about it). It just so happened that I went through 2 phases where I didn't really play any console games at all - 1995-2002 and then 2004-2010 - (I did play a little on my handheld Game Boy Advance and my Nintendo DS during those times, but almost nothing else. I was simply either too busy with work or too busy with college (or for a couple of years - too busy with collectible card games like Magic, Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc...)
Get Dracula X, Lords (Winds) of Thunder, YsI&II, R-Type, Bonk's Adventure/PC Genjin, Alien Crush (or Devil's Crush) and Blazing Lazers/Gunhed. Those should be your priorities IMO.
Now, from your list, I do already have the U.S.-released HuCard games Alien Crush, Blazing Lazers, Bonk's Adventure, Devil's Crush, and R-Type. Are the Japanese versions any better? Or are there CD versions which are better than the U.S. HuCard releases? I'll have to look up Lords (Wings) of Thunder, though.

Oh, I didn't realize you already had those games. The PCE versions are basically the same. In fact, the US version or R-Type is sort of better as it has everything on one card. The JP version was split into two (although the part II has a cheat code in it, which is nice in a way). There was also a CD release of R-Type in Japan. It has some remixed music and cut scenes, so it may be worth checking out if you are into that sort of thing.
A few games have differences. Kato&Ken/JJ&Jeff is probably the biggest. The US version was extremely censored. So much that it lost most of its charm. The Japanese version of Lords of Thunder (called Winds of Thunder) has some extra voices on the shop screen, but that's about it. Of course it games where you need to read and understand text (most RPGs/action RPGs), you'll probably prefer the US version if there is one. The JP version of Bonk's Revenge has some nudity at the end, where Bonk's gets to get it on with a cavegirl at the end.

I'm guessing stuff like this hasn't made an apperance yet, becuase coming across and documenting "demo" and "special versions" is a lot harder than the standard games. I'm sure he'll add these in when he has time and (documentation)
