The road to Hong kong..

[rainbow_bright]

My brother is going to Hong Kong, with his gf (her family is from H.K). I've noticed quite a lot of Pc engine games, systems etc from hong kong on ebay. Does anyone know, any district or shops that sell Pc engine stuff?

[rolins]

Can't help ya, I've never been to Hong Kong. If you're going to buy video games check if it's NTSC b/c i think PAL is standard out there. Unless your from europe I guess you'll want PAL games.

Tell hin (them) to go to Noble Dancers mall in Kowloon...another place to try is orient 108 in Hong Kong proper (don't remeber if there was much PC Engine stuff there..but lots of other video game love).   Most games you find are NTSC over there, PAL  is around, but many (most?) people use NTSC, or both.  If I remember any others I will let you know ASAP.

Thanks, I'm in the uk. I hope I can get him to pick me up some systems which are pal.

I never saw many PAL systems whileI was there.  But there are 2 shops for sure that had STACKS of systems in the Noble Dancers shopping center.

Stacks, sounds good I can get them converted anyway..Do you know average prices or anything?

It's been almost a year and a half..sorry.  At the time I was looking for stuff for my new toy (PSP).  As for games..I didn't see many places that had anything "retro".  PS1, and older was kinda scarce...I guess I needed better hookups..lol

[rainbow_bright]

Well, my bro and his girl friend are not going for a few months. So, I'm hoping enough people know information and I can make their holiday, into a Pc engine buying holiday!

[nectarsis]

My brother, and his wife go back at least once a year. I hope to get back this year also.  Great city, more shopping than u can imagine

And..the babes

[nectarsis]

LOL...I had 2 job offers when I went.  If it wasn't for my daughter, I would be living there now.  I loved it there, would've missed my red meat though.

[rainbow_bright]

Hey! She could have came along and you could have cooked her.. lol
I'm kidding!

[nectarsis]

Most people I know couldn't handle the food over there, much less the constant mass 'o people...lol

[rainbow_bright]

Too much people is always bad!

Actually easier to gwet used to than I thought.  My brother, and sister in law ditched me after being there for 2-3 days.  I was on my own for most of a day, know almost no Cantonese (I can order a beer, and insult white folks like myself).  After a few minutes, I was on my way, had one of the best times ever.  It was fun taking on a challenge like that with no help.
