Did you REALLY try?
I mean, TRY?
Hint: Type "PC Engine" (with the quotation marks) into the google search form and press enter.
You'll get and...

And this is only on the first page.
Google delivers you over 2 million results when entering "PC Engine".

Please everybody, DO search before asking for info.
I'm sure you didn't search, because it's impossible to find NO information on such a popular subject.

Go easy on him . He will learn. Anyhow did you own any of these systems manuel? Did you come across them in Japan?

I have a PC Engine and a PC Engine Duo RX, bought for 500 Yen and 1500 Yen respectively. Digitpress lists the PC Engine with a scarcity of 5 and a price of 85$, and the Duo RX with a scarcity of 8 and a 175$ price. Included with the console was an Arcade Card Duo, which costs 30$ alone according to Digitpress again. I got That all for under 20$. Made quite a good find I guess.

Indeed it did! Man your so lucky I bet your house is filled with Gaming stuff!

Not filled up completely yet.

But I guess many of you guys here have a lot bigger collections than me.
I only have 230 games in total at the time. That and around 25 consoles (some dupes there).
I think the collection will become bigger with the time.

You must be one of the biggest here, you have gone to other countries and got Game finds, man I would do anything to go to Japan and go Game hunting...

Game hunting in japan is great.
If you know the right places...
I think I was in the right places, but unfortunately lacked the money.
I was in a place where they sold thousands and thousands of PC Engine games. (Of course also Famicom and stuff) Bad thing was I didn't have the time to look through all, and even if I had the time I didn't have enough money to afford all I wanted. :/
Well, next time maybe. I'll try to find a well paid job in Japan and then build up my collection.

Did you come across alot of Sega Mega Drive games?

Not as many as I expected, but enough to find most of the good RPGs CIB, like Phantasy Star 1-3, Shining and the Darkness, Landstalker,...
Save up for a plane ticket and fly to Japan when you're older. You won't regret it. Should I be in Japan at that time and you come to my city I'll show you around of course.
Maybe we should move that discussion to the "Japan Thread" and not so much hijack this PC Engine one.
So if you want to talk more about the general game situation in Japan, post here:

I tried lookin' for people's opinions and/or comments on HERE!!......"The Nes Files.." lookin' for conversation on this subject...that's all!!...trust me, I can be clever enough to do a Google search...smartass.

Yes, but it does raise a few eyebrows when the results are on the front page... besides, manuel's the "" mod. Luke (or anyone else, for that matter) would have been far more blunt.

Other than that, I never saw what was so great about the system. Some of my friends remember it fondly, but I've never really been interested in the games.

Couldn't find any

The first sentence says that you can't find any info.
And why do you ask for questions when you ask for info in the first place?

And every nice comment like your last brings you one step closer to a "rhymes-with-van".

I look to reciprocate information...that means that I trade info..."example.." you might know something I don't & in turn I might know something your completely oblivious to...In no way did I mean to disrespect anyone here...you guys are just cool for even payin' mind...
I just got pissed because "manuel" (nothin' personal dude) seems a bit to assuming and got a bit carried away w/his conclusion...albeit I could have been more literal....and Manuel you shouldn't threaten people....it makes you sounds very authoritarian...
I suppose I'll go find another site where Turbo stuff is more appreciated...thanks for your comments you guys.. you all take care.

Did I sound that threatening?
I didn't take it personally, I just don't like words endig with *ass. That's all.

You just need to be more precise with your questions and requests.
From your first post one can't know what you want exactly.
If you wrote a post like your last one everything would have been clear.

For really good info and in-depth talk you should probably better search for a PC Engine board. At least it's a NES board here. Not so many people apart from me even have a PC Engine (me thinks...).

i saw one for $16 a couple years back and passed it up because i'd never seen any games for it in the shops i went to (this was back before i used eBay)

Man I can feel your pain, you pass up alot of deals.

Hey Manuel, you sound like a real cool dude..My apologies if I came of sort of abrasive, your right certain words can be inapropriate...I should have been more civil. Well, it just comes down to me just being so much into anything that revolves around gamin' that I came back to say what's up...I love The Nes Files to much too not keep comin back for more...just seems to me that people are more genuine about stuff here..
So Manuel thanks for the info...and puttin me in check... no hard feelins' take it easy dude!

a PC Engine, or a TG16? TG16 games are foolishly expensive on eBay or anywhere else. You're actually better off getting a PCE from eBay and importing all of your games.

It's good to see that can feel offended and still act rationally. Kudos to Wankelfast.

Yeah, I second that.
I guess he's a good guy.

Some other people might have reacted the other way an got nasty.

Hey you guys are awesome...thanks. Yeah like a said Manuel you seem cool like everyone else here...always glad to reach an understanding....
and I'll look forward to any new info PC/Turbo info that comes around (I don't know why I like that system so much )..thanks Manuel your a gentlemen and a scholar....

NES FILES ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
