My first PC Engine!
« on: January 14, 2011, 03:10:10 PM »
Been wanting this for too long. My wife wanted to surprise me with one for my birthday and finally gave up. She was like "I don't even know where to start with this PC Engine thing, there's like a billion different ones on ebay and they all look different! Why don't you just buy the one you want". So I did and my Duo-R came in teh mail today and it arrived on my birthday!

I have a Turbo that I found about 5 years ago at a thrift store for $3.50 but never really found many games around town. I picked up a couple of games on ebay for cheap and I nabbed my cute Sapphire booty from BlueBMW. I also have Ys I+II and the US Gate of Thunder on the way, also from another forum member!

First Impression- The Colors! so crisp and bright! I love my Sony CRT, my wife wants a flat screen and while most men would love if their wives wanted to get a new TV but my games look great on it with no noticeable color bleed through.


my new DUO with her lover, I hope they make me a cute little GT one day!



As you can see my collection is small and I am looking for some more games! let me know if you have spares you wanna sell!

Thanks to everyone on this forum and pcenginefx.com for all the great information and help!

By the way, it hasn't been mentioned but the fact that your wife went all out for you on this one is NOTED...

If you have the right stuff, it can be done somewhat decently. Just plugging the thing in though, OEM composite to retail consumer level LCD...yeah, that's total crap. Blurry, fuzzy, delay ridden crap.

Welcome, elabit. :)

I think the humble little HuCard with Space Invaders Plus is a treat. "Plus" is nicely done and well worth it, IMO.

But, you should clean off that poor, dusty CRT :). Not that I should talk, because there is a forest of cobwebs on my own CRT.

Enjoy!

Well, I think it really depends on the TV hardware... I've been lucky with an old Vizio LCD (and an old Panasonic Plasma)... far from ideal, I know, but I wanted to see if my purist heart could handle PCE on a modern TV. Thankfully, it was passable (no blur/fuzz/delay).

Hey thanks everyone, I appreciate it.

Yeah by the time I get a new TV I think I might move my old consoles to another room to another CRT and that way I can get alone time with my DUO

Are you certain that her genes would dominate?  Maybe you'd end up with an 'Express.
