UPDATE: Just a quick update. LMS wanted me to to you that the crawl space is jam-packed with canned foods, water-purification kits, first aid supplies, and duct tape. He knows the discs are somewhere, but he hasn't found the crate yet.

I have traversed the crawl space... shuffling my way past the canned foods and first aid supplies, beyond the vintage taxidermy and just around the corner from the many boxes filled with covert surveillance photography of estaban, taken with my telephoto lens over the years. On completion of this truly epic voyage I was rewarded with sadly only TWO spare copies of the fabled 'Bootleg Ginga Fukei' (see attachment).

Like I said before, I'm happy to pass them on. Blue Beemer originally sent me a few extra's to pass on to some old friends from back in the day but as it turned out only one of them was interested. If you're unfamiliar with these, there's no case or manual or anything, just the misprinted glass mastered (silver) discs as can be seen in the attachment (yeah that's my massive middle digit, and yes of course you are most welcome).

The issue now is who to pass them on too. I'll give it a day or two for anyone else to register their interest below while I settle on a suitable strategy for selection. Currently I'm thinking maybe I'll go to a local cafe and start slapping stickers with individual user names onto the foreheads of random customers. The two 'participants' of this exercise that protest the violation of their personal space most prefusely will be awarded with a stern response of "Bootleg Ginga Fukei" shouted directly into their face. The forum member who's username graces their forehead during this exchange will in turn be awarded one of the two discs. If in the meantime anyone else wishes to contribute alternative ideas for a selection process then please do chime in and let me know, I'm certainly open to suggestions. However, those that involve shouting at strangers are likely to be considered somewhat more favourably.

Many thanks and warm regards.

It's obviously going require a real life bomberman setup, kinda like that bud light commercial (
) real life pacman setup. Except unlike the fake ghosts in that commercial, these bombs will be real, and the consequences will also be very real. I will not be participating, wish the best to the competitors, and am off to go post in the thread about the best CD-R's to buy.

I'm not sure when and how I'm going to play this game, I haven't even gotten to the Arcade Card step yet!  I should watch some videos of it at least.

I have two or three of these (loose BWM copies). The thing is, as much as this makes me sound like a total prick, I think I'll keep ahold of them for a while longer. I'm %90 certain that anyone who I give them too will just flip them. Almost none of the new members we get here are "lifers". They usually didn't know the PCE existed two years ago and then dump their collections quickly. Even if the guy I give mine too gives it away for free when he dumps his collection, the next guy to own it is likely to flip it. If not him, the next guy. Someone will do it.

So if you're still here in eight years I'll send you one. Hopefully you won't need it by then. Hopefully someone will make a flash card that runs CDROM2 isos right off a memory card and all those Capital One cards dry up and the game market totally crashes.

I agree with you.

I know it sounds horrible, but we have seen so many folks treat PCE/TG-16 as a fad.

We have also seen folks who are selfish bastards and just want to make $$$$.

I actually am less offended by some goofball who is temporarily obsessed with PCE (the newly faithful, who then lose their faith) than the calculated machinations of a flipper.
