Damn Japanese and their non-english language

[DEL]

No but seriously. The Super Famicom was excellent, so why will only three people be allowed to the JAPJAC Party?

[Skykid]

No but seriously. The Super Famicom was excellent, so why will only three people be allowed to the JAPJAC Party?

Because they're the best three people in the world and they discovered the Super Famicom before anyone else.

[Elixir]

No but seriously. The Super Famicom was excellent, so why will only three people be allowed to the JAPJAC Party?

Because there's only 3 people dumb enough to live in Japan and not speak Japanese.

JAPJAC's choice of words may not be the best. But bless him he is trying. I would go if it were not 7000 miles away.

[PC Engine Fan X!]

I have some fond memories of trying out the SNES demo kiosk at my local Software Etc. store back in April of 1991. The store manager said that they had just gotten it in the day before and just set it up the night before. She also said I was the very first one to try it out customer-wise. So it was a quite a pleasure to try out Super Mario World on one of those flat screen CRT monitor setups.

I had seen a Super Famicom set up for display/demo purposes at the San Francisco based Mikado toy store in Japantown a month earlier before the proper U.S. official debut of the SNES -- it was priced at $1.00 USD for 15 minutes of playtime or $4.00 for one hour. I just would watch some other folks play and was intrigued by how cool the SFC console looked in appearance (compared to the SNES console).

It's a pleasure to try out both SFC & SNES games on a candy cab/supergun setup with one of viletim's awesome Scart to Jamma convertors. Just need access to one of them SFC/SNES JPN RGB or Scart cables & you're good to go. Sure beats going with the lower quality R/F switchbox, composite video or even the better S-Video cable route with an SFC/SNES setup. Even the optional Monster Game Gamecube composite video + S-Video combo cable set (with 24k gold plated connections) is worlds better than Nintendo's own 1st-party released SFC/SNES A/V cable hookups indeed. Of course, most hard-core gamers' A/V monitors had either RF input or composite video input at best for 1991. It wasn't until a bit later that USA based NTSC A/V monitors had the standardized S-Video input in place -- meant having to shell out $$$ for the latest A/V gear back in the early 1990s.

A/V Factoid: S-Video was around back in 1986 but was utilizing two seperate video inputs to take advantage of it (as found on the back of an Amiga 1080 monitor setup). It wasn't until the early 1990s that the A/V manufacturers decided on a standardized single S-Video input for the consumer TV monitors and professional RGB monitors. Even the big CRT-based TV monitors from 1983-1984 were using the new-fangled composite video inputs, namely the ones produced by RCA (but most gaming consoles i.e. 2600, 5200, Colecovision, etc. used an RF switchbox at best -- cheaper for production costs rather than making a gaming console with dedicated composite video output like with the 1st-gen NES console).

There's actually a fair amount, oddly enough.
