The Official Cool PCB You Just Got Thread!

[Magic Knight]

Another System 24 PCB I've just picked up. Made sure to backup the disk as soon as possible.




As you can tell from the fact that it's three-player, this is the Western version of Gain Ground. Very, very rare.

Massive thanks to Domino for being the middleman and for shipping this to Japan.

[caldwert]

Very cool pickup. Definitely one I'd like to have some day, but you NEVER see them or if you do see any System 24 stuff it is broken.

When I have gotten the package to me the seller did a shitty ass job with it. I had to repack it and send it to Magic Knight. I'm just happy that it works even after the shitting shipping from the seller and going all the way to Japan.

That's awesome of you to do that for Magic Knight Domino. A very kind act.

As I always say: Fuck high prices. LOL for Gain Ground going over 100,000 in Japan.

...and one more NMK rarity for my addiction.

I got a Bombjack Twin PCB for myself yesterday. Very nice update but the difficulty is unreal compared to the original.

Did you snag that one on ebay recently, it went for a great price!

[nem]

I love that game

I have an original board (looks the same as yours), however, it has two smaller daughter boards on top of where you have regular EPROMs. Plus, in game it has girly pictures between stages. Some kind of hack?

Actually, looks the same as Oxtsu's

[Dave_K.]

Strange, can you post pics of the between stage images? Do the eproms have original sticks on them, or are they open like oxtsu's? Without stickers I'd call it a hack.

[Magic Knight]

Yes indeed, I got it from ebay for $82, I've been buying a lot from overseas recently.

Also, I'd say that's a hack too. Mine is exactly like Dave_K.'s.

[neorichieb1971]

I just got an original Bombjack twin board from Germany for £100 shipped.

[Dave_K.]

As for nem and oxtsu's version, I found another one just like it on YAJ, with the two small raiser boards. Description claims its a "location test" board, but who really knows. I'd still like to see pics of the inbetween levels.

Got five new PCBs today from the Golden Week sales.



Star Trigon, Xexex, Galaga '88, Son Son and Dragon Breed. All Japanese versions, the artwork and manuals are all copies.

[KBZ]

HELLZ YES

[neorichieb1971]

What is the above game?

[linko9]

You mean Radirgy and Karous/Karasu/Crows?

[neorichieb1971]

Oh so its naomi stuff. Thought it looked hi res.

Karous is the name of the game then. I've never played it. Although I would just get the DC one if I wanted to play it.

Thanks for the answer.

[co-b]

hi neorichieb1971. just thought id say hi as i noticed you are from my part of the world, a fellow shmuper from good old bedford.

[neorichieb1971]

I just picked up a Strikers 1945 2 kit.

[sven666]

very nice looking kit richie, psikyo boxes are hard as hell to find in good condition

[neorichieb1971]

Yeah, I snagged it on ebay last night for £100 shipped. I'm a bit broke but I couldn't pass that up. After buying I youtub'ed it and found it has a remarkable resemblence to 1945+ on the MVS system. I'll probably sell my MVS kit if this is better, no point having 2 games almost the same.

I'd take II over Plus, any day. Buy what you can before you get married!

Wow - a very fair price for a kit on eBay? That's rarer than any PCB! Nice find!

[PC Engine Fan X!]

The Psikyo Strikers 1945 II PCB is a keeper along with MVS Strikers 1945 Plus. I've got one of those odd-ball USA region Strikers 1945 II PCB with a riser board on top. Could be a prototype version or repaired variant. Interesting Strikers '45 II PCB any way you look at it though.

What's rare to find a complete USA region Gunbird PCB with all the accompanying original arcade paperworks in English language text + instruction manual + full sized U.S. Gunbird marquee (has the Jaleco name imprinted on it for posterity). Plus it'll have the "May 1995 Revision" stickers in place on certain roms. Jaleco USA did release Gunbird PCB kits officially to American arcades during the month of May 1995 (hence the aforementioned May '95 Rev. stickers).

Psikyo PCB Factoid: It was Jaleco USA whom distributed both Psikyo's Strikers 1945 and Gunbird PCB kits in the USA.

For neorichieb1971,

Are you looking for the original Japanese region Irem's 1993 Ninja Baseball Bat Man PCB or it's USA region counterpart? The JPN variant is the more desirable one to play/own.

can you elaborate why ?

[neorichieb1971]

I found a pcb local, I didn't try to find out the region. However, the guy selling it is not replying to my emails.
