These beasts are kinda neat (as an oddity) and this one is in particularly good condition, but no CD capability equals a waste of money in my book.  Too bad you can't add a CD-ROM drive and install one of the PC-FXGA cards, then you'd have the best of all possible worlds.  8)

Hah. That'd certainly be a nice collectible for a PCE fan, though necro is right.  No CD drive factor really kills it on the practical-scale. 

But the starting bid price seems reasonable for a beast like this.  That's too bad -- At this point, I'd need another console like I'd need a hole in the head.

Very cool. But as necro said, no CD drive = useless. It really is too bad that a mod couldn't be made to this.

Since this is a computer as well, can it run a PC Engine emulator on it?  How about MAME?  Or maybe Genecyst?   :wink:

it's not really a 'pc'; it's a sharp X1 computer. not pc compatible.

However, a combination X68000/PCE would kick some major behind!

I wouldn't buy it. These things have popped up before, and while cool to look at, are completely useless. Sure the fact that it has a PC Engine inside is great and all, but who wants to use a 20 year old computer with virtually no useful software? Not me. I can just buy a PC Engine without the Sharp X1 and save a shitload of space.

Exactly what I though when I saw it.  A fine curio- but it would just sit in a closet somewhere.  I need that closet space for music and camera equipment and porno  :P

maybe if there were some decent x-1 games... but I don't know of any.

hence my desire for an X68000 twin :)

In the X-1's defense, it does appear to have a least one good game for it: Kagirinaki Tatakai.
