YES, I'm glad someone brought this up, except they are supposed to be very rare.

I've owned one before. :D

They do turn up from time to time in game shops in Tokyo and are not overly expensive if no box. If CIB, they are very difficult to find from my experience.

Finding an LT for a good price is very rare! They are usually $600-800.

Finding it with Darius Alpha is even more rare!!!

Duo is just pretty. I would love to have ANY PC Engine CD, but the cost is what is stopping me. I mean I love my Core Grafx and my TG16, but the cost of the CD is just stupid expensive most of the time.

Yeah, it is quite a bit. If you can wait a year :shock: , I should be back in Japan and be able to hook you up... but a Super CD-ROM2 add on would still probably be over $200 with shipping.

Haha, true that! I actually forgot you'd bought that one from me. Did you get a loose one or CIB? I sold a few CGIs in the last couple years.

The Super CD-ROM2 is awesome, it's just too bad the color scheme is terrible (in my opinion).

As pepharytheworm observed, the Shuttle has the advantage that if it craps out on you, you can still use it as a toy boat or a spaceship or something.

Haha, maybe I can buy one for my daughter to play with in the bathtub. It does kind of look like a speedboat.
