teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Mathius]

you guys are so completely wrong. it hurts

It all comes down to teh $$ Tats. $300 for a PCE game is out of most peoples' league. It's easy for those who already have the real Sapphire to look down upon those who don't. And those who don't have no other choice than this well made alternative. What I paid for Dungeon Explorer II will be the most I'll ever pay for a Turbografx game, but rest assured if there was a copy of DEII as well made as the Sapphire boot I would have bought that one. And if the US DEII was going for $300, I would have thrown out the prospects of playing the game in English, and would have just gotten the PCE version.

Isn't it better to obey than to not?

[Joe Redifer]

It hurt me when I was using a CD-R to play Sapphire.  I wanted a less-ghetto bootleg and this fits just nicely.  The real Sapphire still has the same obnoxious sound effects that drown out the music, the same bosses that flash so much when they get hit that you can't admire the detail, etc.  Look at it this way... I get pretty much an identical copy as the real deal, it just didn't come with the gloating rights.

I do my best to obey.

what else is new....i've already complained about the US art on another thread....wasn't until TTI took over that the art got better i think.

Anyways, nice purchase sir! that screen size blows away the TG Express and the extra port for 2player is major bonus!

[Tatsujin]

and the extra port for 2player is major bonus!

the extra port isn't for 2-player, it is for the normal player-1 pad, since 98% of the games can't really be played on the built-in pad.
if you want 2P or more -> regular multi-tap.
