Got it!

Congrats! I can't wait to see it the next time I am up that way!

Haha thanks guys. And thanks for the auction link, Kkasino.

It's shipped so it will certainly be here by the time you roll into town.

Now will I actually own any games by then? That's a whole different story.

Got it!

Glad another member's got one. It's cool that it includes the box but those pictures make it look a little yellowed. Nothing a little peroxide and sun can't fix, not so sure about the power button though.

[BoneSnapDeez]

Yeah I noticed that a bit. Doesn't look worse than any of my SNESes. I'm also colorblind so it just appears off-white to me and I have no plans to resell so 'sall good.

I'll update this thread once I have some games.

[BoneSnapDeez]

Got it today!

The console looks like a computer tower, but the top pops up where the discs go.

Love the controller - reminds me of 6-button Genesis.

I don't own games yet unfortunately. But I was able to test the console with audio CDs.

First game I'll pick up is probably Last Imperial Price.

One of the ones I own and a good one. Not to hard to play not knowing japanese. The Pc-engine Duo RX also came with that controller too.

[BoneSnapDeez]

I should be okay with the Japanese. I was able to read the PC-FX manual okay. Looks like LIP is a good game to start with as it's an action-RPG from what I can tell. I look forward to playing a good number of PSX / PC-FX / Saturn RPGs next year.

I do have reservations about purchasing such a niche console though, and I have a fear that it may become another dust-collecting "collection piece" like my Amiga CD32 rather than a console I regularly play.

Do you have one of the Canadian NTSC Amiga CD32 consoles? Always wanted this console but didn't want to mess with an PAL issues (although the games can boot).

If I remember correctly, he snagged one from Hobie and my big lot.

Congrats Bone! It's truly one of the more odd, unique consoles out there. Always been curious about them, and i'm looking forward to hearing about your take on it when you get some games.

If he doesn't and you have questions about them - I have a Canadian model. (Also a huge dust collector)
