SuperGrafx games didn't even come in jewel cases like regular non-super HuCards?  Did they hate their SuperGrafx customers?  I guess they did.  That right there is the reason the system failed to sell more than 100 units... it just had a very cheap feel about it since NEC never really tried.

They do come in jewel cases, but they're just so SUPER, that they also come with a special cardboard sleeve for the jewel case.

Not only that, but the deluxe sleeve out Working Designs Working Designs by utilizing shiny bronze paint technology in places, years before WD had even invented it.

Quite the opposite, as Black_Tiger indicated.

As a matter of fact, it was the Turbo/CoreGrafx customers NEC hated. They  loved the SuperGrafx customers so much they provided mega-awesome cardboard sleeves OVER the regular HuCard jewel cases just as a way to say "thanks, you're cool" to SGX players.

Ah.  But in your picture it looks like the SuperGrafx cases are thinner than the real PC Engine cases.  Look how much thicker the Ys 4 case right above it is.  It may just be the way things are positioned, but it gives it the illusion that they are in a weak cardboard case like the games included with the Sega CD model 1.  I hope you can get that damn sticker off of the Ys case.

Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. There must've just been something under the Ys IV case.

That's an old message-- that stuff came in like two months ago. Yeah, I got the sticker off cuz it was on the plastic wrap not the case itself.

I bought some PC Engine games almost two weeks ago, but they still haven't arrived. **** the post office!

Dragon Spirit
Neutopia II (finally!! I even got two copies just because I felt like it)
Bikkuriman World (I already have the much better WB in Monster Land game for Master System, but this game could just be worth the two bucks I paid for it)
Another Tennokoe Bank

If I don't get them on monday, I will set things on fire.

Well these aren't "In the mail" since I bought them from
stores in Osaka, but here are my newest additions:

Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire (Mint with Spine Card) - a lot of money, but just holding
             the case feels strangely cool. Plus the game rocks!
Hellfire S - Nice game, a little simplistic at times, but the music is beautiful.
Devil Crash - wow, now this is a pinball game!
Street Fighter II - very nice port.  bought this more out of sentimental value
             (and it was super cheap)

I've bought WAY too many PC Engine games recently. Just waiting for PC Genjin and Asuka 120% to arrive, then I'm done for a couple of months.
Pop 'n Magic will probably be my next purchase.

Ya, Karnov was bad ass. I like how he came out as a boss in that other game, I think it was bad dudes.
