Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Nearly Gone

[HailingTheThings]

All great choices except for maybe Camp California.  Is that game any good?  I don't know anything about it really.

I think its fun. Kinda awkward. Decent soundtrack, some tracks are downright wow-status. Also, there be leather gimps if you look closely. <3

Don't get me wrong I appreciate what Bernie and Co. did with the first two rounds.

Does everyone really have issues reading CD-Rs?  I had issues on my PC Engine DUO and TG16 cd and after changing both lasers they read everything perfectly.  Not trying to be an ass just wondering.

We have had a couple devs say they were not against having Tobias press their stuff, but I will let them speak here if they want.  Those projects are not anything ready right now anyway. 

But yeah, I feel shying away from fan translations would be the best bet, UNLESS said translator has said they gives no shits.  I am fine with getting the more expensive releases, and anything else is just a surprise. 

On another note....we do have some inside info on getting fan made projects pressed here in NA.  I won't say too much about it at this moment, but the idea has taken form.  Do not expect anything soon, as everything related to that is still ways off.  Thee guys making games, and converting from NES to PCE, they have lives, and this is a time consuming hobby.  But, yes...there are a couple things on the back burner right now.  I will let them chime in if they so choose.

Yep, my Duo can't read CD-Rs. I don't really want to bother with changing the laser, and besides, Bernie's prices are essentially covering costs, there's no point in doing so. Having almost original art on the CD is an added bonus—who doesn't like admiring all parts of a game, gameplay + media + manual + artwork?

I believe his comment was geared more towards fan translated games.

I have a stack of CD-rs that I really need to put to good use so I can finally enjoy NightWolve & co.'s work on Ys IV and Xak III. A doujindance-modded system shouldn't have problems with CD-rs, right?

I would imagine that if potential titles come from Tobias' stock, then Sylphia, Fausette Amour, and Kaze Kiri would be somewhat logical picks if you wanted to avoid fan-translations. I'd definitely love to see the first two, but I'm willing to offer congratulations on what was already printed.

Did he already do Renny Blaster?  Surprised he didn't do     
Bazaru De Gozaru No Game Degozaru or the TV Show yet, but quite a few don't even really know about those games unless they are heavy into the pc-engine.

[EmperorIng]

Probably just as well he skipped The TV Show; he printed enough meh games as-is. =)

[geise]

Heh, I like The TV Show.

[Gentlegamer]

Bernie banned himself?

[synbiosfan]

That's what it looks like.

Helpful guy, long before this thread came about.

[MNKyDeth]

I appreciate all he did for the forum here. The pressed discs and making xmas super great this past year.

Is it just temporary?

[wildfruit]

Bernie is gone?
Gee I missed a lot on hiatus.
Shame, I was going to hit up a DE2 and DracX

"Feel the Bern"

Truly one of the best out there.

He will be missed.

It seems Im a bit late to this party. If Bernie is out, then who can we contact about the discs that are still available? Is it all over? wont someone think of the children?
