The Official Cool PCB You Just Got Thread!

[Dave_K.]

In Lethal Thunder version, you still tap rapidly to increase your shot frequency, but can then hold down shot to leave it at that level, unlike Thunder Blaster where it just goes back down. Enemy placements and boss patterns were also changed, although I haven't played it enough to understand why, presumably to make it more difficult where you need to use your rechargeable bomb more, loosing your shot frequency, and then tap rapidly to get shot back up afterwards. So in general, just more balanced than having to always mash the shot button at all times.

Thanks for the explanation Dave_K

It is so an incredible small and tiny system...wowzer!

Great catch! I love this game. How much does it go for these days?

I bought it for a a really good price : 60€

The game is relatively unknown and best known under the name : Metamoqester (International version) .
I'm not sure about it but it seems to me this pcb (Oni) is quite rare .

Just found a move list :

€60?

You must be the one who snatched it from me on eBay

^Awesome.

Dragon Breed - nice!
Another IREM masterpiece!

Bought Xexex pcb from Vyxx. The sound was still working but I noticed the caps on the sound chip were leaking. Not good because even though the sound works now, the next day it might not. So I immediately sent it to someone that could replace the caps for me. I just got the board back with new caps on the sound chip. Shouldn't have to worry about the sound dying on me for another 15 years or so.

I just got Twin Hawk the other day. Once STGT'11 is over, I'll see you on the Twin Hawk hi-score board thread!

It is so an incredible small and tiny system...wowzer!

Everybody knows I'm a sucker for tiny PCBs, so I REALLY want that system! How's the game?

[ifog]

Can never go wrong with a M72

When the battery die , the game stop working but it's not a suicide battery : just change it

Strangely enough, I own absolutely no Konami PCBs, so thanks for the heads up. I wonder how many other companies did something similar, or was this Konami only?

Totally agree, this is the 5th one in my collection!

[emphatic]

Met up with some other Swedes yesterday and got some cool stuff.

I had a bunch of my custom move strips printed (Guwange, E.S.P. Ra.De., Ibara, Battle Garegga, Outzone, Ketsui (English) and I mounted this one and got a couple of pictures of it as I also got the game yesterday:









Just waiting for STGT to end or give us a vertical game so I can TATE the screen.

[dingsbums]

@ emphatic
I hate you for that Batrider PCB - just kidding - I'M THE JEALOUS .

@ topic
Asterix


Tatsujin Oh (Was an European version / jumper for JP version soldered )


Blood Bros. (I love that game - mindless fun )


Godzilla


Boxes


I have one other PCB project (a conversion - I hope it will work ) I'm working on but I need the chips first & they will arrive in about 1-2 weeks = stay tuned.

[robivy64]

Dave, I have to say i'm a bit surprised about the lack of Konami PCBs. You are really missing out.

Not all of them have the digital sound control PCB that suffers from failing caps.

[Dave_K.]

I'm not quite sure what it is, but something about the quality or style of Konami shmups that I never really enjoyed. The only exception being Parodius series (now that has style) but has remained relatively low on my want list. Outside of shmups, I wouldn't mind picking up Gaiapolis, if it wasn't for this suicidal sound thing.

[cools]

Must be a Lightning Fighters there somewhere though, surely?

[robivy64]

No love for Gradius?

Detana!! Twinbee?? You can't deny the awesomeness of Detana!! Twinbee.

[Dave_K.]

I actual owned Lightning Fighters / Trigon for about a month before selling it...and I rarely sell my PCBs.

Maybe it's that I never liked Gradius from the start, I was more of an R-Type IREM fan back then. Although I think Salamander series (and the PS2 Gradius V) is better. I did like one of the Twinbee's when we played it during STGT, so I should look back to this series. Thanks Rob!

I like it...really some nice gameplay and graphics in the game!

@ifog - i didn't knew there is a battery on it.

@dingsbums - some nice games you got yourself there!

[AKRATEN]

Here is some konami love
I got thunder cross 1 and 2 this week


I also scored a Radirgy Gd Rom from a local seller.


Last but not least a buddy made me a Jamma Snes interface




I have been on a konami kick this year ,
I agree with Rob , these games can be a blast.

Irem rock's too Dave ,
Nice score on that Dragon Breed!

[Casey120]

Just bought some pure shmup sex !

[PC Engine Fan X!]

What a fine SH-3 Galuda 2 PCB in all her naked glory. Be sure to take good care of her by spending some quality "one-on-one" time with her.

I got a Atomic Robo-Kid pcb in the mail today.

I used to play this in the arcade near my house on the way to school .

its awesome!

(^ Crystal of Kings) I've enjoyed the game - played it through a couple times. There are 4 characters to choose from and they did a real nice job of making them different and each has their own strong suits.

Yes, this system is pretty damn adorable, I wish there had been more releases. I believe there are only 2, CoK and Evolution Soccer. Top Blade V is listed as a release in Korea, but i've never seen a copy in the wild.

Just make sure you use protection ... ESD protection, that is!

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Can't forget the ESD protection...don't want such rare & expensive PCBs to "bite the dust," right? Lol.
