Dracula X?

It wouldn't surprise me if NEC considered porting Wonder Momo or even WaiWai Ma Jong, but I doubt that they would have helped the system in the US.  Too bad that shooters weren't more popular back then.  NEC owns that!

Esteban, great to start the page.  Only comment would be that you refer to "Punk Cyborg" and the screen shot shows "Cyborg Punk".  I assume that means that Zonk was a punk with cyborg tendencies rather than a cyborg who acted punk.   

Is there anyone around with the equipment to dump the data from a Huey/EPROM?  Obviously there are people who can do it, but are they active in the community?

I have verified from reliable sources that NEC (and later, TTi) was 100% committed to bring over Hani On The Road.

Fixed that, thanks.

I guess the other thing (sorry if this is also OT) is that maybe it doesn't matter which game they should have/could have brought over here because even with the good ones they did bring over like Ninja Spirit, Jackie Chan and New Advanture Island they never really properly pushed them anyways.

Amen to THAT.

HOLY SHANANIGANS, this has been by far the coolest thread I have ever read in a while(long while at that). Thanks for starting this thread and welcome aboard MaliceDoom, as it has already been said, I too look forward to reading about any cool stories that you may have regarding NEC.
