Its not that bad, friends from college lead by Ack, bought me a copy of it when I graduated. It is not a good fighting game, but it is not the worst game ever made. Now Shaqfu on the Game Boy is crap - low punch and you win...

I also own Shaq Fu, and it really isn't as bad as everyone claims. Not good, but there's much worse out there. I would argue in favor of the GameBoy version as attempting a little innovation. It did include platforms that the player could jump onto to add a new angle to the fights. Still, Fast is right about being able to beat it by crouching and attacking...

I have yet to try the Genesis version, but I did buy it for my girlfriend over the weekend (I'm not a bad boyfriend, I gave her Golden Axe and Vectorman along with it...).

But anyway, getting back on topic, Henry, you're the man. If I ever go to South Africa, you better believe I'm showing up to play some games.

You're most welcome :)
Let's just hope though that I won't end up being another crime statistic before you get here. lol

Newest acquisition to the collection.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I got it because these Duo's are renowned for having fauly capacitors that affect the sound. Fortunately this one looks and works great.
The seller also included a CoreGrafx I unit, so that's pretty neat as well.
Next step is to start collecting a few decent games for it, so I reckon my wallet is going to take a pretty big dent in the coming months. lol

Well it was only a matter of time that after I purchased a TurboGrafx system, that I'd end up going after the portable verion as well. lol
So the TurboExpress came in the mail today and it's in pretty near mint condition. No dead pixels and no sound issues at all, so I'm glad about that. It came with a TV tuner as well as a few games, so it ended up being a pretty good deal.

For now you can play some backups on that duo. I just got mine from japan a month ago, and had not tried it until this week. Got to play some SCD games finally, but still need to download a few more to try out. There's a cd called the super hucard you can download it comes with a bunch of hucard games in there, some work and others don't but its fun to try out. Also bought bonk and ninja spirit and they were just as good as I thought they would be all this years.

A few days ago I say a tv tuner for about $50 on ebay and was considering buying it. My next move will be getting a multitap and an extra pad (don't know for which, the T16 or the DUO), then a complete copy of street fighter 2 and some shmups.

I was going to say something about the TV Tuner being useless now, except I remembered you guys aren't in the US.

Latest addition to the collection.
Nothing special here except for the fact that my winning bid for this item was only $8.
Misspelled eBay auctions FTW! :lol:
