More PCE clones popping up on Ebay
« on: May 19, 2009, 01:23:09 AM »
Just thought I'd share

I was actually looking for the PCE clone in this thread (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=6886.0) and these popped up.  You think they would make clones of better games (not referring to the Parasol Stars/PC Genjin 2 HU).  I mean, you put all that effort into it, make something good.
Another douche trying to obtain a full Turbo collection.  119/146 so far.  Got a long way to go. Half way there. Hit the 100 mark. ich bein ein obeyer

Thanks for sharing.  The prices are less than I'd expect such pirates to sell for.

You think they would make clones of better games (not referring to the Parasol Stars/PC Genjin 2 HU).  I mean, you put all that effort into it, make something good.

I disagree; these weren't made for the Western market, so the games are pretty good choices for the intended audience:

Wai Wai Mahjong - it's entirely appropriate to include a digital version of a game of Chinese origins
Shanghai - ditto (it's good fun too)
Columns - if you're into dropping block puzzle games, then this won't disappoint
Kato and Ken - admittedly a love/hate game
Alien Crush - awesome pinball action that makes the clone worthwhile all on its own
U.S. Collection: 98% complete    157/161 titles

Yeah, I suppose you are right.  I often forget about regional differences and the tastes of other areas.  To be honest, I've never even played a Mahjong game  #-o
