I would buy it, but I don't know if it is a "good deal" or not.  All the games are solid, I can tell you that, and will provide many hours of fun.  If the seller were reliable, I wouldn't pass on it.

Does the Supergrafx come with original box/manual?  If so I would buy it too.

Not boxed. The person just emailed me and but this on the email:  Also what games should I pick?


You can pick an additional 2 games:


Battle Ace    Another shooter ...A super grafx game!...complete with cardboard outer case
Gradius   A shooter classic that needs no description...very nice...game chip-manual-jewel case
Gunhed   Another shooter that is the first of one of the most famous if not best shooter series ever...game chip-manual-jewel case
R-Type II    The game that sold the pc engine system...fantastic and timeless shooter that will withstand the test of time...game chip-manual-jewel case


The bonuses if you buy it now are:

a one to four person pc engine tap
a XE-1PC joystick...these are fine joysticks ...they have auto fire option for turbo...slow motion for turbo...very nice variable speed controls for turbo and LED indicators
a very rare pc engine controller pad

Just checked out the auction.  Not bad, nice extras for using the 'Buy it Now'.  I'd forget about Battle Ace.  Personally I found the game very weak and boring.  

You could pick R-Type II but you'll be missing the first 4 levels of the game.  On PC Engine R-type was split across to HuCards and the CD version contains the whole thing.  Unless you already have the other, I'd just forget about it.  That leaves you with the other two choices  :D

Battle Ace would be good to own as strictly a collector's item. Ya, the game itself does kinda suck. :D

Pick Gunhed and R-Type II.

The only thing I don't understand is, wasn't you supposed to get all the games listed in your initial post for the 190 bucks?

The auction includes all the games listed in the first post AND two extra from the list in the other post, if I'm reading this correctly.

I had to buy it...
I waited and waited and you did not buy so I did.

I had been watching it and I have wanted a Supergrafx for so long I had to do it.

For those of you who were following the auction I took Gunhed and Battle Ace, I know it is not so popular but I want all the GSX games so it gives me a start on the collection.

Anyway I’m new here thought I’d say Hi.

I'd go for Battle Ace (since it has a higher value) and Gunhed (because it's awesome).

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