Chit-Chat / Re: Your first CRPG?

« Last post by Necromancer on May 07, 2025, 12:57:00 AM »

For less stat heavy RPGs, I'm sure Ys was the first for Turbo, seeing as it came with the Duo.  As a young robot of limited means, I didn't have a ton of games early on, but eventually added Ys 3, Dragon Slayer, Order of the Griffon, Theron's Quest, and the aforementioned M&M3.

Prior to the Duo, it would've been the Final Fantasy games on GB.

After I spent eons with the HuCard version the extra sound effects of the Super CD version was very cool.

Super Raiden

Shooter Time! A good one as well. Super Raiden! It's a really good arcade conversion that is quite a bit better than the HuCard. Raiden is one of those shooters like R-Type or Gradius. Everyone knows about them and everyone plays them. Super Raiden has really nice cd tunes and some extra levels not in the HuCard version. Also, the sound effects are a little nicer. Not sure if I will 1cc this but I will try. I can come close, but it's been a while. Hope you all will be able to play this one this month. Enjoy!

  MM3 was long and tough, especially if played hardcore style!  I think the graphics actually look better on the Turbo than in the original PC version!!

  How about action RPGs, then, like Ys, Daggerfall, Fallout 3, or even Diablo?  As long as there's enough of both stat progression and NPC interaction, it will count.

I don't know for certain what would've been my first, but I've never been a fan of trying to wrangle a bunch of stats.  Might and Magic 3 on Turbob was likely the first game that I put much time into, though I never finished it.

Phantasy Star?  The Black Onyx?  Fallout?

I'm really surprised to not see more replies!  It doesn't have to be old stuff!  If your first was, say, Octopath Traveler, that's OK!!

TG/PCE Repair/Mod Discussion / Weird video quality issue

« Last post by blehstor on April 29, 2025, 02:38:17 PM »

Hey guys. I have an internally RGB modded PCEngine (white one).
This is the mod: https://codeberg.org/CBMretro/PC_Engine_RGB_and_Audio_Amp
It is giving me video quality issues, more especifically a sort of "ghosting" which is really annoying. You may also notice that the colors seem too bright I think, looking at the last 2 blocks of each color
I've tried 2 different internal RGB mods (the one installed and another one from ebay), also tried an external RGB mod which includes RCA to test RCA. Problem is the same in all of them.
I've done a recap. Scart cable is shielded and high quality.
Using OSSC and Everdrive Core, RF shield is not installed, if that helps.
Could the video chip be bad? (in that case, ive been scammed)
Thank you

I'm using the standard PC Engine controller, so there aren't any turbo sliders to worry about. Could there be some kind of compatability issue I'm not aware of with using the standard 2 button controller without switches on a Duo R?

Translation of the Famicom version of The Bard's Tale, bringing back content cut from the US release:

https://www.romhacking.net/translations/7179/


The NES really did have some interesting first person RPGs:

Deep Dungeon III, English translated.  Be sure to get the bug fixes and graphics changes.
Deep Dungeon IV, English translated.  You start out with one character but gain more.
Might & Magic, of course! Again you start with one character but can VERY quickly get more at the inn.  There's also a restoration patch, if you like.
Swords & Serpents.  Up to four human players! Or control all four solo.

Anyone else?  In addition to The Bard's Tale, I was thinking that Ultima or Wasteland would have been mentioned by now!  Or even the SSI gold box games.  Of course, Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior/Quest on the Japanese side of things.

Um, do you have the turbo sliders on?
