Various Newb questions for your amusement
« on: July 31, 2007, 12:16:41 PM »
Hi
New to the PCE scene, and to the boards.
Got me a basic PCE on the way from from pinkgodzillagames.
Now that it's too late to ask, has any one had any experience with them?

More questions :
I find myself interested in HuCard games exclusively : am I the wierdo :oops:, or are there others like me?
Can anyone point me to a list of games which use the PCE mouse? (Populous, I hope...)
Is there a reliable place online to buy some cheap games, besides eBay (which is rarely cheap), and here, which I assume is intermittent?

If I were to place a modded Saturn (plays ALL games) w/2 original controllers, including the 3-D controller!, a couple of games, plus a TON of "backup" (LOL) games on the PCE sale/trade board to trade for PCE ... stuff... :pray:
 would I have any takers ( I can give greater details if so), or a ban/lock? ](*,)

Thanks everyone !

More questions :

You aren't going to get banned for offering a Saturn in trade for PCE or TurboGrafx stuff. Using our boards to exclusively peddle Saturn stuff might be frowned upon, but offering it up in trade for something PCE-related shouldn't be a problem.

That's something I've been wondering.  I have other stuff to sell, but never figured out quite where to put it.  Like where would I put an iPod?

People often include games & hardware for other consoles in for-sale postings that include mostly PCE/Turbo stuff. With the volume of games you seem to sell on here, I don't think it'd be a problem if you tacked on the odd Dreamcast game or iPod to your listings.

It's when we starting seeing exclusively non-Turbo listings that problems arise.

Of course, Keranu is going to have the final power of veto in that department.

 :-"  Hmmm.  I am one of those wierdos.  I got into the TG scene because I like the HU Cards.  I was collecting Atari Lynx stuff because of the little cards.  I've always liked them. 

I have never played a TG or PC Engine CD based game.  Super Grafx... or anything like that.  Nothing but HU Cards (US versions at that). 

However, I just ordered a PC Engine Duo-R.  All that is about to change.  I still love my HU Cards though.  I simply find them more collectable than the cd games of the modern systems.  :)  Perhaps that will change soon.
