Ok people, a little update. 

1.  I am still waiting on my shipping envelopes to arrive, they should be here any day now.  I have not replied to any more PMs, because I have folks in line that have already paid...there's about 10 of you.  I want to get those people shipped and taken care of first. 

2.  And the good news!  We just ordered the 2nd batch of games.  They should be here in about 1-2 weeks.  The games are, Dungeon Explorer II, Bonk III, Godzilla, and Dynastic Hero.  As a bonus, Tobias threw in a spindle of Japanese Dracula X games.  We didn't plan to order those, but the shipping was the same with or without them, so we decided to take them. 

Carry on, nothing to see here....  :)

Yay!  Once I get these original 3 from you I'll have to nab a Dynastic and a Bonk 3 and I'll be close to having a copy of all Turbo games that were on my "must own" list.

Woohoo, more stupidly expensive games on the cheap!  Anyway, here's a dumb question, if we wanted some of the second set of games, should we PM you now or wait until you get the disks?
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

Bernie, you rock man.  Sent a premature PM to you in anticipation of getting DEII and the rest of the games as well!  I own a Japanese Dynastic Hero but would love to have it in english, and I've never played Godzilla but have heard great things about it.  Bonk III ain't too shabby either.  Thanks for doing this, it's beyond awesome of you!

They look fantastic thanks Bernie and josh

You're Welcome!  :)

No rush on being the first PM or worries about being on top of the list.  There are plenty of discs for every contributing member of our community if they would like a set!

One thing that is disturbing is the amount of people passing on Might & Magic III!  We assume everyone ordering these will be playing them and I really do believe that M&M3 is worthy of a long playthrough!  Get yourself a copy dammit!!  ;)

I tried MM3 last night... or, rather, tried to try it. Thing must take the entire backup ram! Once I finish startling odyssey I will be geeking out to MM3. :D

It does use the entire memory.  That is my only complaint with the PCE, the small amount of memory for saves.  Sim Earth is the same way.

Man, I don't think I thanked you yet Josh for all this - and thanks to anyone else involved I may have missed!

M&MIII is really cool, I was saying to my friend that I would have really loved it back when it came out and I was young enough to devote gobs of time to it.  The CD music is really weird and great at the same time, my buddy and I were laughing at the goofy vocal accompaniment in the track for the starting area.  The samples and ethereal sounding pads are 100% 90's to my ear.  It's amusing.  It is better that I have it now, though, because I would have faced a severe dilemma having to part with my complete Dracula X saves and other stuff in memory to make room for the M&M III save!  When I was a kid, I mean.  I don't see why anyone would pass on it, though, it's actually a pretty impressive looking little dungeon crawler.  For a couple bucks, you don't have much to lose!

Hmmm I was one of the ones that passed on it and now I am wondering about it.  I could never get into the western RPGs of that era.  Is there a good online review of the game?

Also what is the best way to backup the duo in order to even play this.  Is the Tennokoe Bank the best option for this?

Just finished reading through the whole enchilada. I'm glad it all worked out somehow in the end. Thanks for all your hard work and passion.

I use the Tennokoe Bank with my Duo and it works great for situations such as M&M3. For how cheap they go for, every Duo gamer should have one.

Yarr, the Tennokoe Bank huey is the way to go.  If having four sets of saves is inadequate, you can step up to a MB128, but that seems like overkill and is a bit less user friendly.

I was just about to ask if there was a better option than the Tennokoe Bank. I know little about the PCE's memory accessories.

I need to get one too, but I'd also need a PCE converter also.  They're both on my list one day...
