This is my Hello thread
« on: October 31, 2007, 07:23:10 AM »
Hello everyone,
After many, many years of yearning for a NEC console I have finally done it and purchased a PC-FX.  In short the PC-FX (other than a lack of shootergasm games) seems to have exactly the kind of games I like.  It also features a lot of 90's anime, and the anime from the 90's has always been my favorite.  I started a PC-FX blog on livejournal a little while ago, which is linked in my profile.  In short though I am now the proud owner of the following:

PC-FX
2 Controllers
Team Innocent
Anime Freak Vol. 5
Welcome to Pia Carrot
Galaxy Fraulein Yuna FX
Power Dolls FX

Oh yeah and here is a link to my blog:

I've noticed the board has seemed dead for a few months, but hopefully we can get some new discussions going :D
Nice to meet you all and take care,

Welcome aboard!  That's a interesting blog that you have going, but sorry to read about your Opa - my condolences.  Unfortunately, there just isn't that much interest in the ol' PC-FX, so it's kinda quiet around here.  More so than the other sections anyway, but maybe you'll liven the place up a bit. 

What the chuck's a 'shootergasm' game?  It sounds like Pia Carrot would fall into that category.  :)

I love the PC-FX. It's great you're just getting into it-- you've only scratched the surface of what the system has to offer.

Let me know if you have further troubles with Yuna. It's a whole lot of fun. Just wait until you get to the maze on the spaceship. The maze itself can get a little tedious, especially if you don't understand any Japanese, but some of the minigames there are f*cking awesome. I also mapped out most of the maze levels at one time or another in case you can't figure out where to go.

Unlike you, however, I can only enjoy the games to their fullest potential on the real system. Emulation =  [-X

I own the games, so I don't consider emulation a bad thing when it comes to these doki doki slots.  *shiver*  Do you know what outfit to put on Yuri in the 2nd set???  Skill slots are my  [-X  I hate them soooo much ](*,) .  Without using save/load on the slots I would have honestly quit the game by now, not forever, but for a few days.  I just find them frustrating beyond words, when I don't have a credit limit.

It's been a while, but try the same as Yuna but with a blue handbag instead of a watch.

The clothing itself is the same for Yuri and Yuna but the accessory is different IIRC.

There are no handbags.  There is a necklace, a watch and sunglasses.  None of them work with Yuna's outfit on Yuri.

OK, leave the watch alone.

Try the same outfit (including watch) but different footwear. Boots, maybe?

I've tried that and it is a no go.

The only thing I don't like about it, is I cannot seem to find a controller extender for it. :(

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Games like Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun, 19XX (on hard).  Any 2-d twitch shooter which can contain massive numbers of enemy shots you must dodge, while providing massive numbers of enemies for you to kill.  I would like to include games like Einhander or Mars Matrix in this, but they simply don't have enough going on, on screen to justify calling them a shootergasm.

In other words, bullet hell (kinda what I figured).  Have you tried out Super God Trooper Zeroigar yet?  It's not that type of shooter, but beggars can't be choosers when it comes to the FX.
