/vr/ - Retro Games

>>4645442
HuCard Library = lots of fun if you like arcade style games and shmups, also weird SEGA ports
Super CD-ROM Library = Weeaboo trap
Get a flashcart or Super SD System, do not fall into the money hole that is the PC Engine.

>>4645442

It’s a more affordable version of the TG16 with a better library, if with a language barrier. Be warned that prices still rack up fast if you’re going more esoteric games and hardware. If you want the most stuff to play with the smallest aggregate cost, take the setup recommended in >>4645447

Yes, it’ll cost more upfront than getting even the vaunted Duo-R or Duo-RX, but it’ll let you play all but 7 games with a vanilla PCE and comes with built in composite output.

If you’re big on playing physical games, get the aforementioned Duo-R/-RX as long as you can verify the caps are working. It’s the sturdiest CD-playing PCE setup and will save you money on peripherals like an Arcade Card.

On my end, I actually have a question for you lurking PCE owners as someone looking to flesh out my portable /vr/ collection. Is a PCE GT a worthwhile purchase if it can be had recapped and in working condition for under original MSRP? Or are there too many other build issues / portability not being worth sacrificing CD playback for that to be a worthy purchase?

>>4645442
Play? Sure. Collect for as a new bandwagoner? No.

>>4645442
YES if you like Hudson, Taito, Namco and Falcon games

Capcom support was mostly second hand and Konami support was limited

Buy a pce for great shooters and fun platformers

Absolute meme of a console.

>nu /vr/ hates the PC-Engine

What happened?

Sour grapes

Go back.

>Get a flashcart or Super SD System

Do NOT support Neo-Geo store.
They are 100% profit driven, and are selling the device for 5x its build cost.

>>4647118
Well of course they're profit driven, what else would they be?
I don't disagree that selling something at that much of a markup to an extremely niche community is pretty lame though. One could get a chinese clone of the Turbo EverDrive now. I have a 'before they got cloned' official TED I can mostly recommend.

I didn't care about who you called what, I pointed out you implied /vr/ is 1 poster.

>>4647487
I didn't call anyone anything or imply anything. I answered another anons question about why nu /vr/ hates the PCE. Apparently his label and my explanation his too close to home and you sperged out. Outing yourself as a new bandwagoner who's butthurt he can't afford dads second hand toys. The rest of /vr/ who's not nu chuckled in disgust at you.

>>4647487
>>4647686

honestly, both you guys are fags. just make love already and fuck off to /v/

>>4647118
/vr/ seems to have a lot of communists

>>4645447
>Devil’s Crush

>>4647487
might as well be, you know damn well babages gramps takes up a whole percentage of /vr/ posts, whether that percentage is single digit or double digits we may never know..

>>4648196
What's the point in fucking off to /v/ when you and the rest of nu /vr/ have brought it here.

>>4648339
I'm sure if you count the posts where he drops his trip it's double digits.

>>4647118
>5x its build cost
The price of a product will also cover the time spent developing said product, not just the manufacture of the finished item.

>>4647118
>profit driven
um... duh.
that’s how a business stays in business. Welcome to the free world Venezuela anon.

>>4645447
>flashcart
this superhard. PC engine games are getting FUCKING expensive.
>devil's crush
my good negro friend

PCE GT's are pretty great. The LCD hasn't aged as horribly as the Nomad/Game Gear/Lynx, ghosting is minimal (just better than the Gameboy's IMO).

good review of one. If you can get one recapped for under 400 usd, I'd say you got a decent deal.

>>4647097
>Sour grapes
you don't have to rush out and spend money to enjoy what the PC Engine has to offer and you don't need a CRT either

sour grapes is the calling card of someone who's either frugal with money or gets everything from daddy

>>4650096
Do you even know what it means?

>>4645540
gb2/r/eddit with your gay spacing

>>4645442
it's an essential part of the "cringy vaporwavefag" starter pack

>>4650353
paragraph breaks was a thing on 4chan before reddit even existed, newfag.

if anything they should be called 4chan spacing.

>>4650362
And you when exactly do you think Reddit was invented? Get the fuck back there newfag

>>4645540
pc engine is a great system but you have to be a giant faggot if you're actually going to use a GT, especially in public. it's big and bulky and the batteries last 4 hours.

>>4647118

>They are 100% profit driven

Man how disgusting. Unlike Nintendo or Sony who obviously just create their products to make the world a better place, kumbayaah...

>wahh! Why do companies try to make money?!
>A business should only be about freeware but still make quality content that provides countless hours of entertainment!
>Gimme dat!

I kinda wish your were a businessman, too bad you wouldn't last long.

>>4650362
>4chan invented paragraph breaks
You are even more retarded than the other guy, and people like you should stop this retarded notion that just because retards in the past used to do it, is okay to do it now
I bet you post wojaks and frogs too like a faggot

>>4648339
in some threads its in the triple digits...

>>4651026
>9 posts out of 10 is triple digits!

Brainlet

>>4645442
If you like 2D shoot 'em ups then it's awesome.

>>4645442
Are you really asking a question? Because it sounds like you’ve already made up your mind.

Also, how can you be trapped by a 8-bit video game console.

>>4645613
>Konami support was limited
Only 9 games on the entire library and all of them are ports except for some shit frighting game.

>>4652381
>all of them are ports
I beg to differ.

>>4650362
holy crap this is an old screenshot. i've never seen it before either.

>>4652381
>all of them are ports

Gradius and Gradius 2 are definitive ports with new content
Snatcher was a remake and added Act 3
Tokimeki Memorial and Rondo were new games

If you look at the X68000 Konami's support was similar

>>4650190
yeah it means you're retarded

pc-engine games taste great and all i had to do was download them. no sour grapes here

I love the PC Engine. The games have the simple pick up and play quality of 8-bit stuff with graphics almost comparable to the genesis. It really does play like a stopgap between the 8 and 16 bit eras and I love that.

Also if you go for a JP console and loose hucards things are still very affordable.
