Oh yeah, that looks nice..... well, the box does; it's kinda hard to tell with her hiding in the bag, but is she in as good of shape as the packaging?  Do you have any games for her yet?  In any case, congrats on the sexy purchase.  8)

No games yet, and it still has to be shipped from Japan. I figure that I'll check around the Midwest Gaming Classic for games before I have my buddy do any searching.

Necromancer, the SuperGrafx is a "he" because it is manly.

I'm pretty sure that's what they were going for.  Kind of ironic that they dropped the "engine" branding from it... kind of.

Sweetness. :)

What does the back of the box look like? If it has anything worthwhile, I'd love to see it.

Thanks in advance...

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

$98 plus shipping, hence the reason that I couldn't pass it up. My buddy in Japan found it for me at some small shop.

Just got my Japanese Master System too, so I get the much better FM Sound. If I keep this up, I won't have any money for MGC next weekend  8-[

I picked it up from the Post Office yesterday, and the system itself is in AMAZING shape. Not a scratch anywhere. The box is in great shape, but the styrofoam is a bit discolored. The manual etc are all in the original baggie as well.

I played a few games last night.

Grandzort- uggh
Battle Ace- Not a great game, but I got farther than ever (stage 3)
Ghosts and Goblins- I forgot how great the translation is. What a great game!
Darius Plus- I don't really see any "upgrade" wen it's played in the SG, but I love the series, and this is a great game!

All-in-all, I'm EXTREMELY happy with this find! I still need to get Aldynes and 1941 (yeah right,) but I'm definitely grabbing a cd unit for this.

Darius Plus just has less flicker on the SGFX.   

Granzrot grows on ya the more you play it, took me awhile to get into it.

Granzort f*cking rocks, that's one of my favorite SGX games. Although relatively speaking, with only 5 or 6 actual titles, I suppose that doesn't mean much.

Y'know, Keith Courage grew on me. It was the only game I had for a while. That doesn't make it a good game.
