Anyway, I would thank Bonknuts for the Dracula X translation project (he has a Paypal donate BTW, so feel free to help him out! He donated $50 to me BITD, so stand up guy!) but it appears I got a regular unpatched Japanese one... That's no fun... I want the one that makes BurntLasagna angry. :)

Thanks to those that offered me one, but looks like I just got fooled by the CD label... Tobias didn't bother to change much between the Japanese and English patched versions... The English patched version still keeps the 'X' on the CD label and all he added is "PCE Works" to it as well as Bernie just pointed out to me... Pffffft. So yeah, Bernie hooked me up after all!

So anyway, yes, thanks be to Bonknuts for his hacking prowess/work on this, even though Tobias pressed it onto a nice CD-ROM without permission/support. ;)

Since the man is too humble, I will do it for him here. This is his Donation Page, so if you wanna buy him a beer, here ya go:

You can donate to my site/projects/whatever via paypal. Just use the email address tomaitheous_@_pcedev.net. Of course, remove the underscores (as in “ous@pcedev.net”). Set the type of ‘payment’ as ‘gift’.

So his same email address is tied to his Paypal account.

Dunno what's going on, my discs seems stuck in Jamaica  :-s



- December 3, 2015 , 8:33 am - Arrived at USPS Facility - JAMAICA, NY 11430 

Try putting your tracking number on the French postal service site and see if they have started tracking it yet.

Got my batch of Dynastic Hero, Dungeon Explorer, and Bonk yesterday.  Thanks again Bernie!  I'll be getting with braap to get some cases too, but I gotta' get some spare cash before that.

tracking say it's arrived in Michigan so it'll probably arrive in my mailbox tomorrow morning or if the postal workers fouls up, Monday

That makes a total of 5 rare games that I don't have to pay an arm and a leg.

Another happy PCEfx gamer post:  Thanks to all involved that made this happen.  With everything else in my life blowing up and/or needing attention lately, I almost missed these but Bernie came through.  I have never added this many CD games to my collection at once.  These games are easily some of the top X-mas presents I will get this year.  They are all in individual hard CD cases now.

My mind is still blown, hard to believe they are here in my hands on my community resurrected US TurboDuo!  Wow!

Looking forward to the next rounds like everyone else.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
THANKS TO ALL PCEfx members who have helped fix my hardware and add to my games library!  What a thrill!

Got my discs late last week and they look great. Jazzed to finally be able to play Dungeon Explorer II! Thanks so much guys. U da bomb.

Might (and magic?) anyone have an extra copy of Beyond Shadowgate? I was a little late to the party and have always wanted to play that game (but haven't had a lot of luck with CD-Rs)
I'm a notorious strange man.

Strange, I had one guys that got hung up in Australia for a while, but he finally got em.  The tracking just stalled and stopped updating.

I've been talking with USPS post office employees lately as I've had a lot of packages coming and going using their services. When I asked them about many of my packages being rather delayed, and several of them having issues with the tracking (no updates, never scanned in, etc), they said it's unfortunately just the holiday rush. They said that they are at 5x usual volume due to the Christmas holiday. Apparently, some employees aren't routinely scanning packages, as this saves them a lot of time and allows them to help partially offset the overload. 

So, although I don't recall having issues like this in previous years with USPS, apparently it's the norm this year? All my packages eventually did arrive, even though some of them never had a single tracking update.

Just some food for thought.

Thanks for posting this NightWolve  I just sent Bonknuts a donation.  Pretty awesome job he did on that translation.

Waiting for a Xak3 one, but I know that's still just as sketchy as Dracula X
