Starting collecting PCE and tip of Top Games?

[Mathius]

and of course the uber fabulous seirei senshi spriggan!

I can attest to that statement

[ceti alpha]

...so the Arcade Card Duo only works with the Duo R, but the Arcade Card Pro only works with the Duo RX? 

Ahhhh, I get it: a moose kicked you in the head.  That explains a lot. 

And he did it with a smile on his face. 

[Tatsujin]

HAHAHA

[Arkhan]

Isnt the way to explain it more like

Arcade Pro: Anything with a HuCard slot and CD drive from Japan
Duo: Anything that says Duo in the model, from Japan?

That's the best way to explain it..... if you want to be wrong!  Neither the LaserActive or the Super-CDROM² have the word 'Duo' in their names. 

...so the Arcade Card Duo only works with the Duo R, but the Arcade Card Pro only works with the Duo RX? 

Ahhhh, I get it: a moose kicked you in the head.  That explains a lot. 

woops, left out my OR in that and part to cover that supa ceedee rom part

and, Laser Active.

Heheeeee, youre funny.

I try not to recommend expensive games to people starting out with Turbo/PCE. The best expensive games aren't any better than the best cheap games and instead of dropping $1000 on a handful of games, they could start off with up to 50 - 75 great games. Down below I listed some variety, but with prices.

Is it worth to buy a Duo R och RX, or is i fine with a standard Duo?
Please let me know your guys experience of the Duo-consoles.

If you're looking for a reliable fully functional console to play as many games as possible, buy a Duo or Duo RX, whichever you find a better deal for. Even if you don't plan on getting any mods anytime soon.

There are few U.S. HuCard games you need in english to play and U.S. Some games are more expensive than the PC Engine version and some are cheaper. From your favorite genres, there aren't any games that you need the U.S. version of except to save money at times. The cheapest way to play U.S. HuCards is normally just to buy a TurboGrafx-16, but I don't know how that will work out for you for shipping.


Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire is definitely NOT worth the money. Download an iso and try it before considering a purchase. If for some reason you still decide to spend hundreds of dollars on it, beware of counterfeits.

I've incliI also want tips of great (top games) in the following genres:

Shooters (both HuCard and DC)

Id say that last list is pretty much the best rundown.

Dont forget Skweek and Tricky Kick!

and boxy boy, and somer assault.

(for strange puzzley games)

theyre all pretty cheap

[Black Tiger]

Be Ball is another great puzzly game.

[boogiecat]

Cotton and some fighting games for the PC Engine..

[MXS]

Black Tiger: Thanks a lot! I really appriciate your list, very friendly of you to write prices too, so I don´t pay too much for the games. I will set up my own wantlist soon. And then start to find the games I think is the most interesting and best buys for me.

[exile]

I'm new here but I'd recommend the sleeper gams too Chew man fu is a puzzler game and very cute graphics and animation


Side scroller: Vigilante is cheap and has some bad @$$ music

While some may disagree but I'm rather fond of the MOto roader games In your case MOto roader 2 and possible MC if you enjoy racing titles

[MXS]

I looked at "Chew man", it looked a bit fun, lika a mix of bomberman, lolo/eggerland and something more..

[Necromancer]

I looked at "Chew man", it looked a bit fun, lika a mix of bomberman, lolo/eggerland and something more..

It's good fun, colorful, and has nicely sprites, though the music and maps are repetitive (multi-screen maps would've been great).  It's mediocre as a one-player game, but the two-player mode nudges it into the above average group for me.  Besides, who doesn't enjoy cute girls with ball handling skills?
