Title: More PCE clones popping up on Ebay
Post by: BlackandBlue on May 19, 2009, 01:23:09 AM

Just thought I'd share

I was actually looking for the PCE clone in this thread (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=6886.0) and these popped up.  You think they would make clones of better games (not referring to the Parasol Stars/PC Genjin 2 HU).  I mean, you put all that effort into it, make something good.

Thanks for sharing.  The prices are less than I'd expect such pirates to sell for.

I disagree; these weren't made for the Western market, so the games are pretty good choices for the intended audience:

Wai Wai Mahjong - it's entirely appropriate to include a digital version of a game of Chinese origins
Shanghai - ditto (it's good fun too)
Columns - if you're into dropping block puzzle games, then this won't disappoint
Kato and Ken - admittedly a love/hate game
Alien Crush - awesome pinball action that makes the clone worthwhile all on its own

Yeah, I suppose you are right.  I often forget about regional differences and the tastes of other areas.  To be honest, I've never even played a Mahjong game  #-o
