WTB: Legend of Hero Tonma (HuCard)-community reproduction?
« on: December 12, 2015, 07:27:21 AM »
Short story:  Does anyone make one-off reproduction copies of this game?

Longer story:  I have fallen into slowly getting the US released Turbografx card releases over the years and it turns out this is the last game I do not have yet*.  Being so close to having all of them, I figured a new thread was in order.  Spending years hunting and hundreds of dollars on this title does not appeal to, well, anyone at this point.

*My just deliverd Bonk 3 is on CD thanks to Bernie and crew, my Magical Chase is a community reproduction too.
THANKS TO ALL PCEfx members who have helped fix my hardware and add to my games library!  What a thrill!

Why not just put the PCE HuCard into a case with a printed Turbo manual cover, or just use the near-identical PCE cover?

None of my equipment can play PCE card games; I do not have a converter.
It might be that the only solution is to buy a TurboEverdrive just for this one game.  Not the best solution, but it is something.

I had hope that someone would use the available reproduction PCBs, write a solderable PROM, and make this game more available; so far no luck.

Did you talk to Chop45 to see if he has any more chopsados? That should allow you to play pce games on your US equipment.

He doesn't actually want to play it guys, stop trying. He wants a Collection.

Why a pirate copy of a weird export version of a game better completes a collection than an original...it would probably take a lot of therapy to locate the cause of that mentality.

All the more reason to buy the PCE version instead of a different looking bootleg. Probably cheaper too.

Yes. Most of us picked up multiple copies. I have a baker's dozen. They look really nice. Sealed and pristine.

Shame you missed it.
