Short after the picture-shock was gone, I was wondering, why isn't it docked into a SGFX? It doesn't make sense to dock it into a simple SCD ROM and hey play some rad SGFX games. lol.

It is docked into a SuperGrafx.  At that perspective, the slightly wider bump at the back-right is all of the SGX that sticks out of the Power Console (the Expansion Bus lump is visible too, of course.)  And I "connected" the whole thing to my SCD to take RGB screenshots from the Power Console software, of course.  O:)

Ah lol I'm le uberdumb. How could I have forgot about that  #-o The Power Console literally eats the whole SGFX!

This was awesome.  One to remember for years to come.  I can't believe how much work you put into it.  Thanks for the thrill at first and then the great laughs after!

You played on our wish thinking, i remember dreaming about what the next super grafx game would be, this was 1991 after 1941 counter attack was released...20 years later my dreams were crushed once again :(

Chris, I'm not joking, and I know you have better things to do with your limited time/energy, but the only thing that would have made the SuperGrafx prank even better:

A SuperGrafx sequel to Blodia (Timeball). I honestly love the game and wish there was a "100% pure adrenaline" version of the game with with gratuitous special effects (even if the effects were confined to the background art). Actually, maybe a SCD update of Blodia (that I fantasized about previously) would be just as awesome. Anyway, even if you only create mock-ups, I would be able to die happier.

Agreed!


To be honest, I was totally fooled by the article.

I'm not especially disappointed; at least no more disappointed than I am about there not being an Arcade Card version of King of the Monsters, SuperGrafx Strider, and all the other hinted at goodies.  'Twas a good laugh.  8)

HOWEVER Chris did raise something that I never even noticed before: are those 2, 3, 4, 5 ports on the right side of the peripheral really for extra controllers?

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

Nice bump... I've got to admit I would much rather use a power console than a wimply lil duo tap when playing a 2 player game!

LOL especially it it meant the first player had to use the power console controller itself!

Apparently, NEC designed the Power Console to support daisy-chaining. This allowed up to five Power Consoles to be daisy-chained together for maximum MotoRoader mayhem.

That's what I was thinking. 5 of those things at once!  Largest console ever!
