Yay! He got back to me and I've got one coming.

Thanks, Fudoh!

Mine came today, but nobody was there to sign for it so.........it looks like I'll have to wait till' tuesday to pick it up

I've got to pick my copy up at the post office tomorrow. I've been itching to play this for quite some time. I just hope it doesn't let me down; doubt it will though. I've got to brush up my shooter skills for the occassion. I've been playing too many RPGs lately.

On a rather long side note two other games came in as well. One I've played before, but the other I haven't. Anyone have info on the second one, its called Magicoal. I read the discription up for it and I got suckered into buying it. The seller described it as:

"A very cool overhead action/RPG with a heavy puzzle element, much in the spirit of Alundra for the Playstation. Both characters have their own unique abilities neccessary to proceed through the levels. One or two can play, and the computer will control the inactive character in one-player mode."

Right there it scored about 4 points with me in that:
1. Its an Action RPG
2. It has a heavy puzzle element.
3. Like Alundra

4. Two can play.

Anyway if anyone has played it let me hear an opinion. If it ends up sucking, oh well. It won't be too bad since I didn't spend much on it.

I have Magicoal and I think it's quite a nice game. You don't really need to know Japanese to play it at all, though it would certainly summon up the story better. However last time I played it, I got stuck on this one part and just could never figure it out, which is where not knowing Japanese is deadly. Other than that, it's a sweet game. It has excellent gameplay with tons of different magics and items (the menus are really unique and loaded with cartoony graphics describing each magic and item), the graphics are very colorful like a SNES (hell I'd say it looks better than some), and the music is superb as well. There is also this other two-player mode you can choose where you get to battle each other or something (really nice music track in the room to choose this option).

From what I've understood in what you posted, I think you will absolutely love the game

It's a great game, & to me, is more like Secret of Mana, rather then Alundra

I got all of them yesterday and I must say it was intense. I do indeed enjoy Magicoal, and Sapphire almost made me cry (with pure gaming goodness). I mean this is what games were supposed to be like. Good music, better gameplay, and that little something that makes you always come back for more. Fudoh has my thanks for not charging an arm an a leg for his copies like he could have. I probably would have not picked it up otherwise at least not for a few more years.

Anyway thanks again Fudoh. I'm having a blast with Sapphire. It might not be quite worth the $500 price tag of an original, but its definately worth what I paid for it.

Mine just showed today. I am going nuts waiting to go home and play it. Today may be a long lunch

ParanoiaDragon · « **Reply #67 on:** July 06, 2005, 07:39:58 AM »

Got my copy yesterday as well(not to mention I recieved me Ys Oath in Felghana), needless to say, yesterday was a great day! Thanks Fudoh! Everything is perfect, & away, I go to play

Thanks Fudoh! just got mine about 1/2 hour ago. i've had a terrible sour throat for several days so i guess i'm "lucky" in not having to work today.
on sapphire is there anyway to change your ships speed?

I just got my copy of Sapphire from Fudoh last week.

Thanks to LiquidSnake mentioning it in neo-geo.com

I don't care if it's legit or not pretty much, i wanted a copy to play with. Heck i'm not realy worry about it's value or any thing.

Beside is cheaper then trying to get a copy off,of Ebay and we know how bad that can be.

PS:For collectors who fear it will mess.... up the market you can go to hell for keeping it's value up.

TR0N · « **Reply #70 on:** July 17, 2005, 09:59:24 AM »

Finally got a arcade card afther playing it,it's pretty sweet.

Thanks again Fudoh

I totally agree with you. Also, not to cast suspicion on anyone who visits these boards, but I hope the seller is not "one of us" (even a lurker). But we should definitely warn folks about this. If it weren't for these boards, I know that I wouldn't know about pirated PC Engine games (I've only encountered one obviously pirated game -- a 4-in-1 HuCard).

GUTS · « **Reply #73 on:** August 05, 2005, 08:14:56 AM »

Somebody could just check Fudoh's bidder history and see if a guy named Decker45 or whatever has bought from him recently, that would seal it.

Emerald Rocker · « **Reply #74 on:** August 05, 2005, 05:03:28 PM »

How can it be factory-sealed but not have a spine card?

Something smells fishy to me.
