I still need some of these, mostly some of that Color Dreams stuff, and others that would be a terrible financial decision

PM sent

Wish I had the space and the willingness to blow a grand (because international shipping is gonna be a major oof) to blow on this. I'll prolly settle for just the cart one day

Heck Yeeeeaaahhh! The VGS artist army is growing!

There's you two, @SuperJimtendo, @G-type, @Vectrex28, @BortLicensePlate, @Gloves, @Mumphy, @Sir Centroid, @OptOut, @Red, @BouncekDeLemos, myself, a bunch of the homebrewers, and a ton of other members I'm obviously forgetting. 

I swear we need to do some big collaborative art project here someday.

Hahaha don't flatter me, I wish I was half as good as some of you are

1/10. Better off smashed - I heard there was a homebrew that lets you do that

(Memes aside I'd give it a 6 prolly)

I'd be down for either Jackbox or Cards

Do they go for less than that?

I got mine for 5000 yen, though it was broken. If you don't mind fixing the CD unit it's absolutely worth it. You could also go for a Duo, those can be had for 7000-10000 if you're patient. Be aware that those need servicing as well (I saw a boxed one for 15000 yen, though that one might need a recap)

That's a pretty nice list, there's some pretty cool songs in there, even though I wouldn't have scored Ducktales moon and Wily 1 so high because they're the definition of overrated (not saying they're bad, far from it. I tjust hink they get far too much exposure when there's far better NES songs)

Needs more Codemasters music too, Follin is great and all but there's other great composers in a similar style. I'd recommend CJ's Elephant Antics or Super Robin Hood for some great tunes

9/10

If the PC Engine didn't win my heart I'd give it a 10. I mean Super Metroid is probably the closest gaming has ever been to perfection, and is my second favourite game of all time.

And aside from that there are so many gems on this system such as Kirby Super Star, Mario World, Link to the Past, Metal Warriors, Chrono Trigger, FF6, etc.

On the other hand, while it has some of the best games ever made, for each gem you get 5 pieces of rancid shovelware. It'd also have been a 10 if it didn't have such a high concentration of unplayable messes such as all those shitty football games or especially crappy licensed games

Thats one of my “grail” wants. I know i could just drop 300$ on a japanese seller, but that feels too easy. 

Late, but wouldn't it be great to have someone with access to Japanese auctions and classified ads wink wink nudge nudge

One day I'll get a pic of all my PCE tapes in the same place

(Gotta keep them separate because the file sizes are too big haha)

My personal favorite console as well, I was that one kid in the neighborhood you knew that had it in 1989.  This is actually an older pic, if you're collecting for the platform please arrange your cib's by color.

I tend to sort mine by publisher. I have way more cases back in my country so it's not as impressive here (I'll also include a pic of those hah)

Trying to drink as much semen as you can from a masturbating man on a roof top.

Also given the context of the rise in popularity of the Turbo I can definitely see why some of the people in the community might feel bitter about it. I really sucks for everyone to have so much speculation in the hobby, especially on such a niche console like the PC Engine (I know that all too well, I got into it very late and while it's now become my main system to collect for, the prices sure aren't the most welcoming for newcomers... Oh how I wish it was 2008 all over again)

Right?? Assembler went down too, 2019 was a horrible year for forums. At least with PCEFX everyone saw it coming, nobody was ready for NA being $SOLD$.

Oh NA getting sold came straight out of the blue, not even the **MODS** knew about it until the sale was finalised. Can't remember for sure if I still was on the mod squad when it happened but it came as a shock for sure (I stepped down around the time the GoCollect™ fiasco was about to happen)

Supposedly it has a very active homebrew scene.  Aren't you into that type of stuff? (I honestly can't recall.  I just thought I've seen you hanging around the homebrew posts.)

I'd be very much down for some homebrews for my lynx. What would you recommend?

Oh boy.  This is starting to resemble the old PC Engine FX Forum experience.  lol

Gio is famous on there.  A legend, if you will.

The forum was basically dead by the time I got hardcore into the PC Engine sadly, though I heard of its reputation hahaha.

Hahaha reminds me of this one Discord I moderate that has nothing to do with the PC Engine and yet I always post PC Engine propaganda in there, so much so that it became a joke in that server

The Lynx blows the Jaguar out of the water tho. Hands down Atari's best console.

Oh for sure, I love my lynx! Wish I had more games for it though haha

It had such potential but was ultimately ruined by Atari being Atari, just like the Lynx.

Great hardware for the time, but it was way too ambitious. 5/10

It's such a shame the SGX wasn't more successful

My main PC Engine is a Supergrafx actually, and the port of Daimakaimura they made for it is one of my favourite games ever (It was basically my first time playing this masterpiece and it's a pretty damn good conversion)

Also, I got 1943 Kai the other day, might as well post a pic here as well. I was jamming to the sound test on my GT that day

Has anyone ever found a Hucard with some kid's name on the back in that little name space? I have yet to see one where that is the case

I wish I could take a pic of all my collection, most of it is on the other side of the planet as I speak. I prolly have about 200 HuCards by now
