The Official Cool PCB You Just Got Thread!

[burgerkingdiamond]

Dragon Blaze (with original art, manual & box)


Gokujyo Parodius (with copy art & manual)

How much is the Parodius board worth, minus the art? The reason I ask is because it came with my cab that I bought awhile back but it wasn't really figured into the price. The dude just threw it in. I've wondered how much they go for.

[professor ganson]

A clean Jap board is probably worth around $120, and then maybe a bit less for the other versions ($100-120 range).

[PC Engine Fan X!]

I paid $140.00 for an barebones JPN region Sexy Parodius PCB, so that is a perfectly acceptable pricepoint. If you can get it for cheaper, then more power to you.

Congratz Chempop to the EspRaDe get! Great game, was my first pcb too!

I thought we were talking about Gokujyo? I think I paid about $120 for the International version, but I think I overpaid just a bit.

My apologies there, at least they're part of the Parodius series nevetheless. There's a certain panche with collecting the JPN region PCBs these days and having access to International variant PCBs are cool in my book as well. It's always good to have a broad exposure to different region PCBs over time. I can easily spot some minor differences with both the original JPN & USA regional variants of Capcom's Hyper Dyne Sidearms PCB circa 1986 (having extensively played the Romstar version numerous times back in the late 1980s as a 2CC affair).

Been on a bit of PGM binge of late, here was today's arrival:

Divinating post, hehe.

LMFAO, I just looked back a page wondering if I already posted...

Here it is fellas, my numero uno pcb get!!!





Wasn't going to use this curved trinitron, but the picture on my flatscreen was all crazy and has geometry issue up the wahzoo. This setup is looking might fine for day one arcade action. Ahhhhh feeeeels goooooood!!!!!!!!

[emphatic]

^^Looks good too!

[Casey120]

RAD ......................E

Enjoy

[CIT]

Cool! Esprade was my first PCB, too. It's a great game to dive into arcade gaming with!

[brokenhalo]

nice setup chempop! best part is that you can rotate that monitor real easy. rotating an NAC is a pita in comparison.

[chempop]

Thanks guys The screen kinda looks small in that picture, but it's 27" heavy as hell trinitron.

Funny story about the mecha picture on the wall. I was at a huge open studio event in an old factory/mill that's been long since converted, checking out the various art studios... When I enter one, the first thing I notice is a neogeo cab! Running in it was Blazing Star and I start freaking out, the dork I am. The artist couldn't even believe I knew what a neo geo was, let alone recognizing the game at a moments notice. He had all sorts of shmup models in his studio, r-type ships, gundam, old vintage Japanese toys that stood nearly as tall as my waist. He is a illustrator for some very well know products, Hotwheels, Lego, etc! Apparently I was the first person he'd come across to ever know about neogeo... But it gets better. After I am offered to play a credit (which I eagerly accept), I notice on the cabinet a sticker for Fast Striker! He switches up the carts at my request and I give it a whirl. He gave me the art print after which I k we would look sweet in my game room.

Best part was getting to meet someone with a similar hobby soon after I had moved to a new town. I'll be stopping by his place again when Gunlord is in the cab which he's preordered.

Want! I'm one of those idiots that really likes this game!

[AKRATEN]

I dig BeeStorm too , Great get Culdad!

[Battlesmurf]

It's nice to see some Bee Storm love. While the game might be a little wonky at parts- I love the aesthetics quite a bit more than the latter panty shooters haha o.o

[CRI]

How much is the Parodius board worth, minus the art?

i paid 90€ for the parodius. (jap board)
the art was for free.... just like the dragon blaze art.

[emphatic]

About God damn time!

[Animaitor]

About God damn time!

Awesome get, emp!! What rom ver. did you get it with?

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Some folks like the non-fixed eprom version of Ketsui (without the shrilly laser sound effect that's used with the bug-fixed eprom variant release). Of course, your mileage may vary.

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

[chempop]

Nice get Emphatic! I've always wondered if the 360's port is noticeably faster or if it's just the nitpickers nitpicking.

[Animaitor]

It feels a little faster on the 360 than the PCB.

[RNGmaster]

Of course, your mileage may vary.

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

Shit are you a troper or something.

Also damn that Dragon Blaze PCB looks nice. How much was it? I might try to buy one for the local arcade sometime.

[emphatic]

Thanks fellas. It's not bugfixed, so I'm gonna get a new rom for it. Would be cool to have a high score save hack though.

[Skykid]

About God damn time!

Better late than never.

Personally I wouldn't worry about the bugfix, never bothered me a jot. And the lock-on sound is a little annoying.

[kernow]

Someone else must have the V3 rom fitted surely?

[CIT]

Thunder Blaster get!

[professor ganson]

Of course, your mileage may vary.

Is there a good arcade in Seattle? I have to go in April, though I'll probably be too busy with work to take advantage if there is.

You should add to the shmupmeet thread - we'd be glad to see you!

There's a small arcade in an ice-cream shop in Ballard, but mostly we just have console meets. Bobby owns about 10 candy cabs but there's not enough space to install them all right now.

[professor ganson]

Cool, thanks! I'll have to see whether my schedule permits an escape from the conference.
