Turbo/PCE collection percentages
« on: June 28, 2007, 09:44:46 AM »
I'm talking games here - things like Arcade cards, tennokoe banks and consoles don't count.

so right now I'm at exactly 50/50; 20 American games, 20 Japanese. a single purchase could tip the balance.  :shock:

Almost 100% PC Engine. I have two non-Japanese games: Ys 1-2 and Ys 3.

~50 PCE games / ~12 Turbo games  => ~ 80/20 ratio.

My numbers are heavily skewed toward the JP region games mainly because I picked up most of these when I was living in Japan. 

For a similar price (which isn't most of the times), I'd rather have the English-text, but too many good PCE games just weren't released in the western markets.

edit: Oops, I voted the other way - uhwell!

My collection of "official" games stands at 14. 13 of these are US releases. >90% Turbo.

90% Turbo / 10% PCE

I mostly buy US games, so I guess that I must be stupid.  Only morons would buy a US game when the Japanese counterpart is so much cheaper.  I figured that I'd toss that out there so the overly cautious accountants don't start the 'Wasting Your Money' lecture.  :roll:

You just enjoy conflict!

Mine is about 50/50%: 57 Turbo games, 55 PCE. Of course as everyone knows, I'm a hardcore Turbo fan for life so AMERICAN POWER!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

100% PCE, but I've only started and do plan to get TG games including Ys I&II and JB Harold.

Hu Games: Bomberman, The Kung Fu, Dungeon Explorer, Out Live, Baseball, Tales of the Monster Path, 1943, Nectaris, Kato and Ken, Bikkuriman World and Necromancer.

CD games: Ys I&II, Classmates, Ultrabox 6 and Side Arms

I do have US Wii VC games, though: Bomberman 93 and Dragon's Curse. I didn't count those in my vote because they're emulated.

Expect a swift trip to Hell for this glaring discrepancy.

Mine is probably around 50/50 but I have too many games to count because I'm lazy.

100% PCE, but i have to say that there are 2 Turbo cds (got, bonk, bomberman combo and ys book 1&2) in my collection.

so that makes in fact about 99.6666667% PCE and 0.33333% Turbo :-"

I'm in the 80/20 group, as I own most of the US releases, and about 35 Japanese releases.

That's a pretty good percentage table Runin has. We got most of the good HuCards out here in America, but we didn't get nearly as many CD games as we should've gotten. I'm still satisfied with some of the CD games we did get, mainly Ys I - III and Gates and Lords, which are all essentials for the Turbo/PCE owner.
