What's up homes! New PC Engine fan here!
« on: August 09, 2007, 11:30:09 AM »
Today I just bought a PC Engine Core Graphx II  and Super Star Soldier.

I never in my life touched or Turbo Graphx-16. For a couple of years I have been hearing how awesome and underrated the system is. I didn't think there was anything worthwhile for the system other than Dracula X and Ys until YouTube came along. Well it seems I finally saw the light.

Congradulations! :clap: You won't regret it.

Although the best stuff's on CD, there are still lots of great HuCard games.

Oh your going to have a lot of fun. Even without the CD add on there's a lot to enjoy with just hucard games.

If your looking to boast your game count and don't mind ebay give these guys a try: http://stores.ebay.com/Superb-Articles-From-Japan-SHOP_NEC-PC-ENGINE-PC-FX_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ6QQftidZ2QQtZkm

Their prices are fair and they ship fast. Just be sure to read all the info :)

Thanks!

And yeah those YT videos of the CD games look awesome. The Tengai Makyo series looks hilarious and I am definitely looking forward to trying out the CD shooters like Gate of Thunder, Lords of Thunder, Spriggan (I recently became a Compile nut), R-Type Complete, etc. I just need to get that damn add on.

The SuperCD add-on is very kool (I have it myself), even though it's not the most beautiful thing :).

Don't worry, there are tons of cheap HuCards that you can enjoy before you graduate to CD's...

I love Super Star Solider. There are loads of better shooters on PCE but...not really. After a while I even got used to Hudson's stupid power-up system (avoiding power-ups you don't want is harder than avoiding enemies!), and learned to love the extra challenge it provides. That game is so solid.

Welcome to the forum and welcome to the 8/16 bit goodness.  Enjoy the plethora of entertaining and mostly inexpensive HuCards while you wait for a CD add-on.  :)

I bought it on ebay yesterday. I am expecting the PC Engine and the game to ship to my house by at least Tuesday, if not Monday.

Welcome to the board.  I'm still fairley new myself, but I've blown a ton of money on PC-E games in very little time, but its so worth it.  And yes you need a SuperCD to match your Core Grafx II so many awesome games.  :mrgreen:
