Only in a PC-FX forum would you see a question like, "Do you like the PC-FX?". I mean, they don't have questions like, "Do you like the Neo Geo" in a Neo Geo forum, or "Do you like the Famicom" on a Famicom forum. That's how pathetic the FX is.

Of course, if you asked "Do you like the 3DO" on a 3DO forum they probably wouldn't even be able to process the question since anyone who has a 3DO is just collecting junk for junk's sake. At least the FX is above that station.

To be fair, I think asking "Do you like X?" on an X-themed forum is pretty strange no matter what X is, and I can only guess why the OP phrased the topic that way.

The fact that the 3DO doesn't have a single exclusive/best-port 2D action game that's worth a damn makes it suck pretty hard. The main joy of having one on my shelf is looking on a gaming system that was basically a Rolls Royce back when I was nine and it hit the market. It's a small joy, but that and the chance to give a dozen or so curious games a shot was worth the $20 I paid for it.

Anyway, I'll say that I enjoyed Zeroigar, and I'll probably enjoy it several more times before I'm done.

you have to remember, this is a subforum of a bigger forum, so asking if you like the subthing isn't really out of line.

If the question were "Do you like NEC consoles" , I'd agree with you.

Maybe the question should've been "Why do you like the PC-FX?" - or "What makes the PC-FX special to you?" or "Tell us why you like the PC-FX" or something similar.

The PC-FX has a ton of homebrew potential. More so than the Saturn or the PSX, at least!

=3

will it ever see the light of day? no not really.

rover and me are about it as far as people retarded enough to try it

It had the downright best console port of Street Fighter 2 at the time though IMO.

I don't own a PC-FX, but will one day. Spent plenty of time playing them though. So to answer the OP question, hellz yeah!

Riiiiight, because everyone comes here for the PC-FX, not the PCE.

Star Control 2 on 3DO is a blast. There a few other guilty pleasures on the 3DO...but 99.99% of the library is complete and utter shite.

As for the PC-FX... I sold it for $$$ many, many years ago and I would like to get another one of these days.

Is the Team Innocent english translation still a future possibility?

It certainly is. I haven't gotten a lot of response from those who agreed to play test the initial alpha, but then again I have been very negligent in bugging people about it. Pennywise made a nice response but I haven't really followed up. Mostly because the WtPC2 testing was going very well and then we found a bunch of undumped text and I've been translating that. Also EK is still planning to dump the item text for Team Innocent which I think will help a lot with the play testing once we can translate and reinsert that. So yeah, things are going fine. It's just one of those things that takes a long time. It's coming right along though.
