PGM Owners' Club

[CosmicMonkey]

I though I'd start this thread to get a list of eveyone on the forum who owns a PGM system and what games you have. It's not the most popular of arcade systems and dealing with IGS directly is, apparently, hell.

So how are you guys running yours: Cab/Supergun/Consolized?

I have Demon Front, Knights of Valour: Super Heroes and I'm waiting for The Gladiator.

Over to you

[Captain Wrong]

I can't help, but I've always been curious about this system for no other reason than Cave licensed out the Donpachi series to them for reasons I still can't asertain. Is there a good place other than system16 to get info about this thing? What's worth playing and all that jazz?

[ClubNinja]

Yet another fantastic system that, sadly, I have up for sale ;)

The Knights of Valour games, Dodonpachi II, Killing Blade, etc. Excellent stuff. Highly recommended.

[Mr. Wardner]

I'm running my PGM system in my 25" JAMMA cab and I must say it's simply amazing. I only have Demon Front so far, but plan to get more carts in the future.

CosmicMonkey, how is Knights of Valour? I always see this game for sale on eBay and was just wondering if you think it's worth getting...

[ClubNinja]

Knights of Valour is why I got into PGM in the first place. Great beat em up set in ancient China. If you like Streets of Rage, or Final Fight, or Golden Axe, or anything like that, then you must own this game.

Yeah, KoV is absolute class. I really like my scrolly beat 'em ups and the PGM is a good system for them. There's a few variations of both the KoV games:

KoV
KoV Plus / KoV: Three Kingdoms
KoV: Super Heroes

KoV 2
KoV 2 Plus
KoV 2: Nine Dragons

Firstly, I'd like someone to help confirm if this list is correct. Also I've no idea what differences there are between normal/ Plus/SH/ND, and if it's worth getting the different versons? There's also the two Oriental Legend games as well (and Super Oriental Legend?). The Gladiator has finally arrived, so I'm gonna sit down and have a good crack on that later.

Martial Masters is supposed to be a very good and very unkown fighting game. I'd like to get that in the future.

Yes, please let us know your impressions on Gladiator...the screenshots I've seen look very interesting!

Quality. Absolute beat-'em-up-ass-kicking-combo-style quality. Buy this game.

[MagicMajenta]

Anyone know where to get a good deal on a PGM. Besides the usual places Excellentcom.net, Cosmicco Amusement, Coinopexpress. If you know any sites please post links.

Also are there games that require the kick harness for it?

[CosmicMonkey]

By 'Kick Harness' you mean the 3/4player connector on the side of the unit? The system uses the exact same 4button pin-out as a Neo MVS board. It seems that some of the scrolly beat-'em-ups have a 4player mode, but you'll need 2 TVs. The 3/4player adaptor plugs in the socket on the side of the board and basically ends in another Jamma connector that goes into a second cab for 3/4p controlls and a 2nd monitor. No idea why you can't have single screen 4p, but it seems you can't.
