I always wanted one of these, and I got one today.




NICE!  I remember seeing similar boxes in Canada (Montreal)  Still baffles me that they elongated the system. Sigh..


"The last Story" looks pretty sweet and it seems to have gotten really good reviews, as well as Xenoblade. Makes me almost pick up a Wii. Almost.

Bought Zaku from superfighterteam, it looks a lot like Air Zonk, if it's anyway near as good I'll be happy.

Nice pick up DragonmasterDan!
So what's the deal with the EU TG-16 model when it comes to use in USA/Canada?
Do you need a 60Hz converter or upscaler?  I was tempted to buy one before leaving the UK 5 years ago since there was a brand new boxed with accessory pack for 50 quid with 10 common games but moving back to Canada, I didn't think it would work so I left it.

You need a TV or monitor that can display PAL signals.

Always wanted one of these.  Now I finally have one!





Got it off the original owner who was also a collector.  He played it once then stuck it back in the box and it has been that way ever since.  Everything is mint, including the instructions that are still stapled shut in the original bag.

Definitely cool Flare.  The anticipation waiting for it to show up would have killed me.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

Nice.  I always thought it was called the Shuttlegrafx.  I swear there was an early GamePro article that showed off the SuperGrafx and the ShuttleGrafx.

PCE's had the sexiest designs of any systems from the orginal to the shuttle to the PCFX.  SO much better than the standard rectangular box design that nintendo and other have designed to death
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

she's a fine beauty, Flare.  I'm a proud owner myself on one :) 

yours is gem minty indeed...  did you get a good deal?  these dont came cheap completely boxed and minty like that.. I think I paid $250 ish for my complete and boxedwith all inserts but non sexy minty box like yours :) 

love every part of the shuttle though.  it is the best looking one in my opinion out of all the other version of consoles.. Super CD rom attachement is next in my book as #2 coolest looking.

Always wanted one of these.  Now I finally have one!

I kinda remember that feature in GamePro as well, and I do remember the Shuttlegraphix name too.
