go to www.pcengine.co.uk

It will answer all your questions!

lots of games like Rtype, salamander, gradius... theyre the same in Japanese.

Anything action/arcade style will be just as enjoyable in Japanese. If you click around pc engine software bible, you'll find lots of good games, lots of reviews and screenshots, AND it will tell you if they use the arcade card.

you will quickly find that like nothing uses it, and the only game worth having it for is Sapphire, and its expensive as balls.



Just get your system region modded for sys card 3.0. Lots of reliable, trustworthy people can do it for you.

Sapphire's kind of iffy as well, I thought it was a pretty decent game but I wouldn't pay $300 or whatever it sells for today. Buy the bootleg if you can find one, they're far cheaper.

[Press_Start]

i won an auction on ebay is this worth the $350 i payed

Nice haul but my CAG senses tell me it's a little too much.

I hope it came with CD system card, otherwise you can't play ys (great series btw) on the console.

And yes, if there's no 3.0 card, you'll want to consider either:
a) picking one up (the US ones are pricey)
or
b) eventually having the system region-modded and picking up either a JP 3.0 card or a JP Arcade Card Pro.

Don't forget c) PC-Engine Duo-R or Duo-RX. Just as pricey as a) or b) but plays both Amer. and Japan CD and SuperCD titles plus Japan HuCards and preferably better to get Japan SuperCD games cause US ones will cost a *very* *very* pretty arm and leg.

There's the obvious Dracula X: Rondo of the Blood, but there's also Future Boy Conan. They're playable without knowing Japanese, but you might not fully understand the cut-scenes as they're not in english. Future Boy Conan is a really good game, it made me look up and watch the show that it's based on. Luckily the show was fan subbed, the game is a faithful retelling of the show.

I am very bias towards games that have hot chicks blowing shit up.



I wouldn't even call the bootleg a bootleg. The things so damn nicely packaged It dont even matter.

For all complete games, I think he did pretty well.

And yep, I've recommended going the Duo-R route (also what I have) at least once in this thread. The quote above was in response to his purchase of a US/CD system.

[BobaFettHotep]

i got the 2.0 card but i bought a Japanese 3.0 card and a Japanese to us converter for around 90 dollars

[Arkhan]

well that seems pretty reasonable.

Which converter did you get?

[BobaFettHotep]

Kisado

[Breetai]

yikes. 49$ for an AC Pro is kinda high from what I remember. Are we goin off ebay prices again?

That was exactly my point. They should only be $25-35 max (or less).

Duo-RX is sexier though.

I kind of like the black and purple of the Duo. Plus, it has a headphone jack.

Either way, I've got a Duo and a Duo-RX for sale right now! Yay! I played them both today and wasn't sure which I liked more, to be honest. The dark colour scheme looks GREAT, especially with the 2-button controllers... but the RX looks really good, too. I just don't know...

[Arkhan]

Kisado

oh good, you got a nice one, not some tarded up knock off.

aside from your TG-16 looking like it has an erection, youre all set now. Let the gaming commence!

[BobaFettHotep]

Quite a thread excavation here. I forgot Nintega even existed.

Yeah me too. I wouldn't mind a few.

I've been wanting to take the plunge on this system for years but never have. Partly because of the extreme ebay values on this stuff, and because I can't find one in the wild.(I've only found one and he was holding it for someone.) Never saw a single game in the wild either.

Someday though I may just buy a PC Engine and dive in. It really does look like a fun system.
