WTD: Help With FM/Towns Marty Collecting

Post by judesalmon »

I have researched this system a little and have seen some games (such as Splatterhouse) that I would love to play, so was wondering if anyone out there could answer me some questions:

Is the Marty 2 the best console version to go for?

What shmups are there?

What are the best and most collectible games?

Thanks in advance for your help.

And a shameless plug for the stuff I'm selling on eBay, if you're into that sort of thing.

Well I just spoke to BIG earlier and he came across a splatterhouse for $275.

Only apply if your wallet will back you up!


Shmups on it include viewpoint, Raiden and Truxton 2 among a few others.

Don't know much about the hardware. The games come in big boxes like AES from what I remember. Its more a collectables machine more than anything though.

I'm guessing "Wanted".
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

I was browsing gamechoiceclub a while ago, and I think of all the collectible systems there, the FM Towns / Marty has the most adult games, even more than PC-FX. Yikes! O___________________O;;;;


I want one too, but the system is so expensive....
