And so my collection begins (again)!

Last I checked, the games on the three(four) in one disc are actual games and play on actual hardware, but whatever.

Received this in the mail yesterday. Now I just am waiting for the console to arrive.

...and if you are truly an old school gamer you need to open the case and throw it aside on the table/desk, somehow get a liquid stain on the manual, knock the case onto the floor, don't pick it up, and make sure to step on it 12 times over the next year and half. You should also lose the hucard in a drawer somewhere and move homes at least 4 times over the next 10 years.

12 years from now you will find the hucard in box with other things like elastic bands, receipts for groceries, paper clips, burnt out lightbulbs, old dead batteries, and a bunch of Entertainment Weekly magazines from 8 years ago. The hucard paint is scratched to ^&%$ and there is a strange brown crud where fingers and food stuffs have come into contact with the Hucard. You now go on an epic journey for the case.

You find the case in your garage in a box behind some bottles of used oil. In the box is also an old Blu-ray player, some s^%ty iPhone 5s, and a bunch of old HDMI and component cables. The case now looks like straight up 100% garbage.

So, 12 years from the original purchase date, you find a newish jewel case and put it around the water (or Pepsi Lime) damaged manual, you spit on the Hucard and wipe the crud off with your t-shirt, put it all together and place it on your shelf like a prize....the way it should have been treated from day one.

This is how the rest of us did it. For the true organic old school gamer anyway. Any other way is just fake collecting. You have to suffer with at least 10 years of stupidity before you can truly value your collection

I never did find my original Bomberman '93 manual.  I did find the box decades later, crushed with the plastic insert still inside it, in my moms attic.

Of I wait to have an actual copy it'll be that much more interesting, I enjoy actual games on actual hardware, original copies lol.

Then you really should take the time to learn the actual meaning of the words you just said lol. Lest you give the impression that you're a pretentious fool admist others who are already knowledgeable on the subject.

If you were truly an authentic game connoisseur, then you settle for nothing short of the unmolested PC Engine original versions of those games, played only on an original white model PC Engine, displayed through rf on channel 96 of a crt television.

Why did you take a copy of the emu warez 4-in-1 disc out of the hands of game players if you hate it so much?

[neutopia6]

Holy f*ck lol, no matter what I say people get pissed off on this site ahaha.
I got the disc because 1, it came with my Turbo Duo, and 2 because Gates Of Thunder is f*cking sweet, already have Bonk 1 and 2, figured I'd hold off on the secret Bomber man until I get an actual copy, why that pisses you off is beyond me, of all the things in the world to be frustrated about ahaha.
I'll start collecting PC Engine after I get a good grasp of the TurboGrafx stuff, I'm aware its all original, I'd just prefer to have something to look forward to when I buy the actual NTSC Bomberman Hucard, glad that pisses you off.

I didn't read anything in this thread,  but I wanted to tell you to suck my left one.

Also, you can't do anything correctly.

 

[neutopia6]

I agree, and gladly lol.

[Necromancer]

The only one that sounds frustrated and pissed off is you.  BT and I thoroughly enjoy mocking the 'special' people.

[neutopia6]

Yeah, I was having a bad day, sorry for being a twat. XD
I know what you guys mean, and you understand what I mean aha, nothing like getting a new TurboGrafx game.
