teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Mathius]

It has nothing to do with the Konami version of Kid Dracula as this PCE version was made by Naxat Soft. Here is the link for the game on Paul's site:

Didnt actually buy this, but Chris Bucci sent me a manual for Might and Magic III.  This makes my copy complete now!!

Are you folks paying top dollar for those PCE Magical Chase games? I still wanna play it, but can't justify spending nearly 200 bucks on it.

[Mishran]

Is that 5th Ann. version of MC a rerelease of the original, or is it updated like the US version? I always wondered what the difference between the two was other than physical appearance of case and card.

Can't wait to play manhole ;-) LOL. Been loosing the little hair I have playing Pomping world.

The JP versions of magical chase are exactly the same, just in slightly different packaging.  The enhancements that are in the TG version are not included which is a shame.

The packaging of the original release was in a standard gray baked hu box.  The PCE Fan release comes in a clear case, like CD titles did along with some of the later Hu card games.

Snip from Videogameden.com

"The original Japanese version of Magical Chase was released twice; first as the standard edition (tested here), and secondly as a special mail-order "PC Engine Fan" release (picture on the left). PC Engine Fan was a Japanese magazine dedicated to covering the PC Engine system and published by Tokuma Shoten. Both games are identical but the back of the case and the instruction manual come with a different "PC Engine Fan" logo. However, they are both equally rare and expensive. "

Here are the pics of the case backs:

A few pick-ups from the PCEFX boards and elsewhere:

I paid less than $200 for mine

Wow, I didn't know they tried to make it look like an old style case with a spine card.  Did anyone else do that?

Did it actually come with a spine card or was it just made to look like one?

I think SF2' is the only huey to come with a spine.

So this isn't a real spine? What about Populous?

Yeah, although it's kind of weird, a piece of paper glued to the outside of the case. I tore mine off and threw it out. (It's not like SF2' is a rare game or anything)
