Same here, but I'm also thinking if paying good money for one, why not go the whole hog & get a Duo-R

Brand new unopened? That has to be a good price then is it? Seems like one.

That's the exact auction I was thinking of when he said it was brand new

Been tempted by that a few times but in the end didn't go with it as it's PAL.

Professey Chin

Theres something about the gamecards for the Trubografx I love but I have no idea what -_-

Its a PC Engine. Those mere words alone should make your decision for you.

About as much use as still loading amiga games from floppy disks.

It will test your patience to the limit.

Thats the JAP TG16 isn't it? I'm not too well up on that whole scene yet. But enough to know I want a Duo R...which is a PC Engine & Cd Addon combined isn't it?

safetyboy

whats the difference in this and the one alpha bought http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Pc-engine-Turbo-Core-Grafx-Video-Games-Console-Set-W-UK-PSU-/200697012664?pt=UK_VideoGames_VideoGameConsoles_VideoGameConsoles&hash=item2eba7961b8#ht_2448wt_1022

PC Engine is something ive always wanted!

o1s1n

One is called a PC Engine, the other is called a TurboGrafix

Nah the turbo is PAL, so is going to be in 50hz with boarders. PC Engine on the other hand will be NTSC 60HZ full screen.

I'm not sure if the games are compatable across regions either? Think I remember someone saying the TG games library was quite small.

I love the cardboard boxes but beware the dangers.

Finally, Zool is mine. Keithgeo slayed the copy Infideals had that I was eyeing up...so got this on ebay. Also, Aladdin on the Megadrive which completes the Aladdin games I wanted. never played this version, & its completely different to the Snes version so happy days.



Whenever I buy from an ebay seller that offers combined postage discounts, I always see what else they're selling. Alex Kid in the Enchanted Castle for £1? Sure why not.



Virtua Racing 32X, by all accounts the definitive home port? Damn sticker on the box, I'll try remove it when cleaning the cart.



32X collection coming along nicely. I havn't spent over €10 on any game for the system yet.

Got my new arcade VGA card and motherboard today to replace the ones that got fried a while back. That means I'm back to 15hz hyperspin in the candy

It's really amazing the difference between 15hz and 31hz on an arcade monitor.

Got this today, megadrive mastersystem converter to add to my megadrive. missing the little flap on top though, but still works!

CiDeRmAn

I never liked Star Wars Arcade, even in the arcade it felt dated.
But Virtua Racing on the 32X, that really is a blast and the best ad, aside from Virtua Fighting for the system

Professey Chin

Whats the card input for in the converter?

Optimus Prime

also check out the two battered NES games i got yesterday, the other half went at them to try clean them up. She is to cleaning, what scotty is to warp engines.

Some really nice finds there!

I actually tried e-mailing infideals recently to see if they had a controller in stock but haven't received a reply unfotunately.

I might try to contact them through the ebay store.

There's always the possibility I may have mistyped my e-mail address though.

Sega in the 90s were looking to build transformers but the technology wasn't there, so they just released multiple ad ons for the megadrive instead.
"Megadrive bits, assemble!"

That's my next purchase right there though. Just waiting for a nice one to pop up.
That and a NTSC Snes and believe it a NES. I don't have any NES crap!

K.O.Kiki

I just realised I have to get Retro Gamer issue 100.

Hopefully I can find it during the week!

In what way, good or bad?

@Pyongster, whats that pic of the goal

My Psikyo spending spree continues...
Just picked up Sol Divide and Tengai (Sengoku Blade/Sengoku Ace 2), around €20 for the two from France.
That seems to be a great place to pick up budget PS2 releases, and many of Psikyos stuff seems to have been launched in Europe only, no US release for a lot of these.
Ibara and the rest are still expensive though.
I reckon I will need a region free 360 soon though...

Happened again..
Just bought Castle Shikigami II for the PS2...
It's a sickness I tells ya, a sickness...

I really love that game.

It's out on the Dreamcast too. So if you're looking to play it now on the rotated TV, power up that cd writer!
