[captain ahar]

kick ass! I just won a PC Engine Duo! So it appears I will have a way of playing those games Wanderer sold to me sooner than I thought! Gate of Thunder here I come!

[BulletMagnet]

Congrats, what kinda contest/raffle/whatever did you hafta enter to score it?

[captain ahar]

ebay strikes again! friggin evil i know

[BulletMagnet]

Ah, "won" in the sense that you still hafta pay for it, heh. Pretty much the only types of contests I ever win, and even then only occasionally.

[captain ahar]

yes i am the of the despised "vulture" breed. i wait until the very end of the auction, place a bid or two to test the waters and swoop in at the last moment to steal it away (usually)

Oh man, the first time you SEE GoT or for that matter HEAR it, your jaw is gonna drop. Assuming you have the U.S. disc you'll also have Bonk 1, 2 and an unlockable Bomberman which are darn nice extras too. It has a fun little animated opening/intro with Bonk too.

[captain ahar]

^ nah, it's the pc engine cd. anyway that rocks, i loves me some Bonk! i might have to pick that up anyway at some point.

Hey,congrats!

The Duo's got an extensive line-up of shmups,many of which are now considered classics,so yeah,you're in good hands

Also, don't fall for the trick that Sapphire is the RSG of the PCE. It's an expensive game, it has some amazing visuals.. but even Super Raiden is more satisfying of a game. Get Spriggan and Macross 2036 if you can.

I was inspired by this thread to get myself a Duo,and I did just that!

TurboDuo deal

Heh heh, you seem to be on a roll when it comes to scoring cheap system/games deals, eh BIG? With all the scavenging I usually hafta go through to find a decent deal on something, I'm half tempted to point at you and angrily scream "You stole my mojo!" in Austin powers fashion, heh heh.

As they say,when it rains,it pours

Yeah,I've been doing pretty good lately. It just so happens that I seem to find myself at the right place at the right time. But seriously,I think $80 shipped was a pretty good deal for that bundle,wouldn't you say?

[captain ahar]

previously i had bought the pc engine lot Wanderer was selling.

so when i receive the system i will have:

Soldier Blade
Download
Gate of Thunder
Blazing Laser
Cyber Core (card only)
Ninja Spirit (card only)
Dragon's Curse (card only)

all for $48!

next up are: Lords of Thunder, Dracula X, Steam Hearts (if i can find it), Summer Carnival: Alzadick and Nexzr Special (i thirst for caravan shooting!), Spriggan (i love me some MUSHA, so this is a given in my book), the rest of the Star Soldier series, and Cho Aniki.

i know it is my own fault and all, but shmups have put a serious strain on my bank account. at least i can i am enjoying the hell out of being broke!

[captain ahar]

i received word it arrived in the mail today. now i just have to get home and play it until it lives (that's a lot of playing)!
