New to the PC Engine

[Tsavathay]

Hello, Hello,

Just introducing myself to the pcengine forums, I'm Tsavathay.  I'm Living in Canada and video games has always been apart of my life and growing up it was a special memory shared with my brothers.  Systems I played most and their memorable games off the top are;

NES - Crystalis, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade edition, Super Mario World, Metalstorm, Megaman series
SNES - Street Fighter 2 turbo, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Star fox, Killer Instinct, Axelay,
Sega Genesis - Phantasy Star Series, Strider, Earth Worm Jim, Aero Blasters, Golden Axe, Thunder Force, Mutant league football, Sonic
N64 - Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina Of Time, Killer instinct gold,
Playstation - FF7, FF8, FF10, FF Tactics, Xenogears, Saga Frontier, Breath of Fire, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter EX, Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, Raystorm

That was my video game golden years -  I'm older now and never was able to afford a turbo grafx/ pc-engine in those times.  The two games I was able to play and remember and still love to this day are Dragon Spirit and Bonk!  The rest I still need to discover...

I am savagely looking for either a IFU set up or a DUO-R RGB Modded system setup and would like to collect a modest but good quality collection of games.  I am here to gain feedback/info on specific titles and learn from everyone here, just by going by my consoles/games from childhood listed, feel free to pm me with any info regarding which PC Engine console variation and titles to consider.

Anything will help... PM me!

I intend to update my games acquired list to keep the convos going.

Welcome! You could also look out for a recapped PCE Duo. It's just as good as the Duo R or Duo RX once it has been recapped.

Neutopia, Ys I and II, Ys IV, Lords of Thunder, coryoon, New Adventure Island are some of my favorites on the system

[Tsavathay]

Thanks man!!

Added to my list definitely;

Neutopia - played first 5 mins off emulation stopped to experience on real console
Ys I - same, WII Virtual Console Trial
YsII - same, WII Virtual Console Trial
YsIV - by this time i realized i needed a PC engine
Lords of Thunder
Coryoon
New Adventure Island

Welcome to the mad house.

Neutopia - played first 5 mins off emulation stopped to experience on real console

Sounds like coitus interruptus.

Coryoon

Parodius might be easy and cheaper to locate, plus it's damn good.

Def look at Spriggian or Star Parodier for some CD shooter games. Welcome to the forums, and thank YOU for having a intro.

Don't forget Ys III!  You can also add Xanadu 1 and Xanadu 2, both with translations coming soon.

Thanks for this input everyone, hope I get opportunity to try these all.

Can u explain a bit further about playing translation(s) copies?

Well, Ys IV is the most obvious one. Just look around the forum a bit. Essentially, you rip the disc to your computer and replace parts of it with the translated material.

Rip your game using TurboRip, apply the patch using whatever instructions it comes with, burn a cdr of the resulting ISO, and have fun!

Or use google to find a pre-patched ISO, which is what this dumb robot does because he's too dumb to run the patch properly.

I had some problems doing it the correct way as well. It took forever to get it right.

Welcome. Nice first post. Good selection of memorable games, good selection of pce you want to play.
+1 just get a refurbished duo. They look nicer than R/RX. IFU is still sexy though.
