Pc Engine

[mattmagoo]

I was just wondering if anyoe knew anywhere that did PCEngines (preferably Super Grafx)

I have looked on ebay and they are going quite cheap, but im not a massive fan of ebay

I have also looked at Telegames, but they charge SOOOOOOOOO much

so i was just wondering if anywhere knew a highstreet or internet shop in the UK that sells PCEnginges (or turbo grafx, but i'd prefer a JAP unit)

thanks

The last gamestation I was in had 3 of them, but I didn't check the price.

 

[mattmagoo]

my mate works in gamestation so ill see if i can get one ordered

but they had a trade in sheet and it said PCEnngine £60 trade in, so they will be selling em for bouts £80 which is a bit OTT

Won't there be issues with PAL/NTSC video output?

Not with any semi-modern TV.

yeah TG16's in america are VERY cheap as no one liked them here. I'd rather have a PC Engine myself or Core Graphx as they are so much more compact and cool looking... I dont know why they felt it necessary to more than double the size of the thing when they brought it here :angry:


It amazes me that PC Engines are still going for so much considering how old they are and the fact that they were VERY plentiful and popular in other countries.

I wouldve prefered a Shuttle sice they are the sexiest, but ill settle for a TG16 because of price reasons (I dont hae £150!!)

i sold my jap white pc engine(rgb converted)and 6 games for £125 on ebay about 3 years ago and lately i wished i never had. matt magoo where did you order your turbo grafx from?

 

[grooveholmes]

but i'd prefer a JAP unit

i sold my jap white pc engine(rgb converted)and 6 games

let's try to use JPN instead of JAP as it can be offensive for our japanese friends viewing the board.

 

[finty]

How the fuck is JAP offensive? We're talking about video game systems, not people.

EDIT: Another case of political correctness gone mad.

 

[Enslaved]

JAP JPN whats the fucking difference. Whats next, people saying not to eat crackers because its offensive to old white women? This is just like gamefaqs "anit-racist" people. If you were truly not a racist you wouldn't give two shits about a racial term used out of context.

Telegames is expensive, but, all of the stock is brand new. They were also about the last place I saw that actually had any US/JAP Hucard convertors.

If it were me, I'd go for a Duo; a JAP one preferably or (like I did at the time) a US one with a Hucard convertor for JAP cards (of which there are squillions more than US games).

Can't beat the original white/grey/black coregrafx though. I keep meaning to pick one up just to play my JAP hucards without a convertor.

TBH, Ebay is the best place to pick stuff up. Search for the seller 'Hit-Japan', he has excellent stock, is friendly, and I've bought loads of stuff from him.
