PC-FX, Amiga CD32, and other assorted sexiness

[noiseredux]

PC? Is that some sort of personal computer?

I already have a few of those.

nice. I had a C64 when I was like 5. I wish I still had it. I have such a soft-spot for that thing.

But seriously if you buy a PC-FX before you build a new PC or upgrade the one you have now, I'm gonna e-punch you, cuz your priorities are way off and you're letting yourself miss so many games that you would actually really enjoy that you now use the excuse "I don't think my PC can run that game."

With a new pc you could emulate any old ass computer.

Hehe...

and your emulator of choice = any emulator of your damn choosing outputting native resolution to your standard definition CRT.
Of course going for the real thing you can possibly do it this way as well, without the hacked drivers.

I pulled the trigger and will pick one up!!

Looking forward to trying out the various games

Search continues for an FM Towns Marty and Amiga CD32 remaining...

Someone on Maine craigslist had an FM Towns Marty for sale last year. I was intrigued, but he was asking like $350 for it. I have no idea if that's a standard price - either way it's too much for me.

I actually do have an Amiga CD32. Neat system if you're into retro European games. At this point I'd probably recommend picking up one of those as opposed to an actual Amiga. It's also backwards compatible with CDTV games.

Yeah would definitely go for an Amiga CD32 and I have been intrigued by the European games.

It is a bit pricey finding one lol..

Any favorite games you enjoy for the Amiga CD32?

[BoneSnapDeez]

I don't have many games unfortunately. I've done some emulation though.

Many of the best games are ports of great Amiga titles.

I enjoy Lemmings, The Lost Vikings, Heimdall 2, Beneath a Steel Sky, Cannon Fodder, Disposable Hero, and many more. It's a small game library so doing research on the games is pretty easy.

Cool some good ones to consider once I can find a system of course lol..

Best resource I have found for cd32 http://www.amigacd32.com/

Be prepared for compatibility problems if you get a ntsc model. Pal would be better but you need to get a lot more stuff for it to work well. Amiga mouse is a must.

FM Towns Marty is awesome but be prepared to spend a lot of money on the games. I lucked out on a few games but all that means is I didn't pay more than $50.

You know how much the FM Towns Marty systems go for these days?
