PCE Memories "Turbo Duo Edition"

[Mathius]

An announcement will take place tonight unveiling the next boxset from the PCE Works series. Called the Turbo Duo Edition we'll know shortly what games will be included. I call Dynastic Hero and Super Air Zonk. Not sure about the rest. Maybe Beyond Shadowgate and Dungeon Explorer II. It'll be the same price as the PCE edition at 119 euros.

Thanks for the information. That sounds like they're producing even more bootlegs?

That's all kinds of cool.  I hope it's Dynastic Hero, DEII and Super Air Zonk.

I would surely think that Beyond Shadowgate would make an appearance.

I just saw the email and came here to see if anyone had posted about it.  I'm hoping for camp california, sim earth, fighting street and john madden duo football.

just kidding, dynastic hero plz.

[Necromancer]

Camp California wouldn't be a bad one.  It ain't perfect, but it's no worse than Super Air Zonk.

Hopefully this one won't have a gold coin. Then it will hopefully be cheaper. Either way, I'm excited to see the list of games for this one.

[Sadler]

It's the same price, or 7 euro more if you want the poster.

My bad, completely missed that in Mathius' post. That kind of sucks. Maybe the poster is good lookin'. I'm stuck to my phone for now.

If they're making repros of rare and expensive American titles, I will gladly buy a set. I don't care what anyone might say; I am not spending hundreds of dollars on a single game when I could get several repros of the same games for a fraction of the price.

I await the news with feverish anticipation!

If DH is part of the "collection" I'm getting it. Panchitos's shoes will have to wait.

Seriously speaking, what's the point of getting these repros? Other than the fancy artwork, I'd say it's because these are pressed discs and will help prolong the laser life.

I bought Sapphire years back because it's pressed and my TurboDuo won't play CDRs at all.  The packaging is nice too, but anyone can make a nice looking case/manual with quality scans and a cheap color laser printer.

I'm guessing you got your Sapphire boot for super cheap or free but IMO it makes way more sense to adjust/replace a laser (having someone else do the work if necessary) than to spend a bunch of money on pressed discs.  I have the same argument vs. people who want to "prolong" the life of their laser (which is a mechanical part doomed to failure anyway) since the cost of CDRs+Laser << the cost of pressed discs.

I would never support a bootlegger like this, who as far as I'm concerned has already had negative effects on the spine card market with his last release.  I appreciate that he's most-recently trying to differentiate his new stuff from the real product (unlike the care4data Sapphire debacle) but he didn't go far enough with the spines.  The only positive effect I've seen is that PCE Memories seems to have been a small release valve on demand, I was able to pick up real Kaze Kiri+Faussete+Sylphia all with spines for far less than I could have prior to PCE Memories.

spine card market? what are you talking about?

I hope they're undistinguishable to originals to some extent so prices can drop, drop, drop!!!
