That sucks man. I wonder if there is anything you can do before gaming that would alleviate your motion sickness.  :-k
I wish there was something to help me out. So far I can’t play flight simulators, Aero Blasters, the Virtual Boy and Contra 3: The Alien Wars lol.

@Mathius: Although I’ve had my Turbo for more than 10 years, I still consider myself a newcomer as I’m still learning a lot about this great system. I too am building up my collection but I only have a TG-16 at the moment. As of today I’m up to 26 games! Glad to have yah aboard man.

This may sound obvious, but have you ever tried Dramamine? I hear that works for some people. Navy guys use it to alleviate seasickness.

Sadly, Dramamine is also an antihistamine and probably shouldn't be taken if you are on other antihistamines. Also, it tends to be drowsy-making.

Have you tried the 'less-drowsy' Dramamine or Antivert?  They're based on a different drug than 'normal' Dramamine, so they might work without making you quite as sleepy.

I noticed, spida1a, that you did an awesome(as always :D) review of Dungeon Explorer II for the Duo. This is a U.S. release but I can't find that dang thing anywhere! The awesome group of people here recommended the japanese version but I kind of like the story of the first game and would like to continue it. I guess there are walkthroughs but I'd rather just read english. Do you or anybody else know a place to pick this up and how much?

eBay is probably the best bet. Think I saw it recently for about $20.

I believe he was saying people recommeded the jap version but he still wanted the US version.   That being the case I don't think you saw it on eBay for $20.00.  Maybe you saw Dungeon Explorer (the first version) and not version II.
All is well. :)

I feel your pain.  Its one of the very few games I am missing for my collection.  Personally I think if you can find it, it will probably be in the $80-$120 range.

I think that the english menus consist of "New Game" or "Load" after the title screen and that the in-game menus are english in the PCE version.

If anyone is willing to drop over $100 on DEII in english without playing it first, why not spend a measly $20 on the PCE first and decide if it's worth it?
