Glad I built my Sega Saturn collection when I was younger...

Have any Sega Saturn games you want to trade?  I have some of the heavy hitter PC Engine CD games I would be willing to part with.  PM me if interested.

Anyway, I have seen two JRPGs that look really awesome : Seiya Monogatari and Xanadu II. Did not check the prices yet.

Neither is terribly expensive, both are fantastic games, and both have translation projects in the works.  The first Xanadu is also awesome and is being translated.

Also discovered a pretty good website called PC Engine Bible I think. Very useful place.

That's a great site.  My other go to sites for PCE reviews, screenies, etc. are Brothers Duomazov and Video Game Den.

The very first CD games I would like to buy are Ys I & II in English and Spprigan. Both are already very expensive. I already picked Gotzendeiner, it was cheap and I will use it to test my console once I receive it  :o

Princess Kickass!  I hope ya give it a chance, look past the flaws, and end up liking it.

I have also seen a number of "PCE WORKS" games. I don't understand why they are so expensive being repros. Retro video game market and prices are really becoming insane.

Yarr, it's nuts.  It's stupid how much some peeps try to flip his boots for (and some sell!) when many of 'em can still be bought from Tobias for far less.

Would you be interested in 32X PAL games ? Because Saturn I am not really looking into getting rid of any game (love them all ! :) )

I also have one pretty expensive Neo Geo CD game I am willing to exchange if you wish. Maybe some Dreamcast games too.

of 'em can still be bought from Tobias for far less.
Is Tobias someone from the forum ?

Tobias is the lying *&^#^ #&@%^ who is/runs/owns/ PCEworks.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

Understood. I did not get the meaning of the sentence correctly at first.

The repros seem to be very well done. Too bad he is doing this illegally and stealing people's work.

Man I was gonna post some stuff but Necro covered it all. I will second that the PCE bible is great and I am stoked for those RPG fan translations.

Definitely the best thing around for retro gamers, with quality rom hacks and everdrive/sd based cartridges. Bless the community.

I played Shining Force III entirely translated on my Saturn on my CRT TV. Awesomeness. Hoping that Princess Crown's translation gets resumed !

I even made a humble romhack of Shining Force II "Gong Edition" (can be found on romhacking).

Absolutely. :)

SuperPlay has a thread that lists hundreds(?) of links (and brief descriptions) for many wonderful TG-16/PCE resources.

Just randomly clicking on any link in that thread will make you happy.

:)

Also, if you are interested in magazines, I have a stalled project here:

 http://archives.tg-16.com/magazine_database.htm

Where you can find some neat stuff...

Rock on. I beat the first one last year. I need to get alcohol on my new tower so I can burn off stuff again.

Still waiting for my controller and Gotzen Deiner.

I managed to get a decent offer on 4 games that I am interested in from a seller I bought often from on ebay. So these will be my first batch of games, very excited to be finally able to try the console :o

These 4 games are Spriggan Mark 2, Gate of Thunder, Anearth Fantasy Story and Altered Beast.

There are other games that I definitely need to get someday : Spriggan, Rondo of Blood, Winds of Thunder and Ys I II US. Building this small collection of ~10 CD games might end up being a bit expensive  :?

Yeah several of those games are quite pricey, but most of them are pretty awesome.  (you can always cheat and burn/emulate as well.)  Those four games should keep you busy with fun till you can swing some more though.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

I don't really like using burned games on my consoles, but I will give it a try no worries.

Eh I figured as much, but sometimes it's a nice option when you just can't or won't justify paying $$$4 for a game.
