Title: WTB: Legend of Hero Tonma (HuCard)-community reproduction?
Post by: ifkz on December 12, 2015, 07:27:21 AM: Short story: Does anyone make one-off reproduction copies of this game?

Longer story: I have fallen into slowly getting the US released Turbografx card releases over the years and it turns out this is the last game I do not have yet*. Being so close to having all of them, I figured a new thread was in order. Spending years hunting and hundreds of dollars on this title does not appeal to, well, anyone at this point.

*My just deliverd Bonk 3 is on CD thanks to Bernie and crew, my Magical Chase is a community reproduction too.

It might be that the only solution is to buy a TurboEverdrive just for this one game. Not the best solution, but it is something.

I had hope that someone would use the available reproduction PCBs, write a solderable PROM, and make this game more available; so far no luck.

Did you talk to Chop45 to see if he has any more chopsados? That should allow you to play pce games on your US equipment.

Why a pirate copy of a weird export version of a game better completes a collection than an original...it would probably take a lot of therapy to locate the cause of that mentality.

All the more reason to buy the PCE version instead of a different looking bootleg. Probably cheaper too.

Yes. Most of us picked up multiple copies. I have a baker's dozen. They look really nice. Sealed and pristine.

Shame you missed it.
