What PC-Engine Stuff did you get today?

[Gypsy]

Play Spriggan asap, it does not disappoint.

Played it a little this morning, it's great! The power ups were confusing at first but pretty unique once you get the hang of it.

How many stages is it?

[Gypsy]

Yeah the way the power-ups work is one of my favourite things about it.

6 stages iirc.

I got the PC Engine I ordered from Japan in the mail today.  Now I just need games or a Turbo Everdrive.

Original model without turbo switches even!

Awesome!

I will take that controller from you when you aren't looking.

Wow, i never knew that the PCE originally didn't have Turbo Switches!!  Is that a rare controller or just a nice oddity to have?

[Necromancer]

Is that a rare controller or just a nice oddity to have?

Both, I guess.  They're much less common than controllers with turboswitches, as every 'normal' (not a mouse, illustbooster, or pachinko) controller later produced had turbos; but it's just an oddity, not something that makes any difference in game play and a must have.

I have been using a turbo-less controller for years...it probably would frustrate folks who rely on autofire for certain games...

Even I want to use autofire for some shootemups

I am not a 24/7 masochist... But there are times when I am.

Big thanks to Nectarsis.

I got my Turbo Everdrive!  It wasn't today but rather the morning before I left for a business trip.  The smallest SD card I have is a 4gb one, it's so much overkill.  I'm surprised at how good Street Fighter II looks.  Now I need to decide whether to mod the system for S-Video or wait until I get the CD-ROM^2 and IFU and figure out how to mod that.

I think we need a picture of that esteban thumb.

I guess you must have Popeye like muscles around the thumb.

I think I'll have to include my technique in a Doodle video. I actually use the inside of my thumb (opposite side of thumb knuckle) to hyper fast press button I or II

As previously said in the Sega thread I got some Sega games plus a couple of other great shooters:

[ul][li]Altered Beast[/li][li]Golden Axe[/li][li]Winds of Thunder[/li][li]Side Arms[/li][/ul]
I love Side Arms and WOT is so advanced!! Love the 90's heavy metal soundtrack.

Got a game guide for Valkyrie no Densetsu.

Probs not exciting to most but as I haven't even got my PC engine yet I'm pretty chuffed with them!!

[Necromancer]
