Seen this kind of thing a few times over the years. That is why when collecting PCE (since the early 90s) I have either purchased to play or in the case of some rarer items, being patient for the right price or picking them up not as an investment

This game is on my playlist! If you haven’t come across it yet, there's a Stargood Un‑Worked Designs patch that restores many of the original Japanese localisation elements, including adjustments to a few boss stats. stargood.org/unworked/cf2...

One of the games I played to completion multiple times back in the day, loved it apart from some of the pixel perfect jumps you had to make! Dam, I now have the excellent soundtrack stuck in my head again 😀

There was a USA release of the game, however the Japanese release also has an English language option. To enable this: - When the game starts press right on the menu and select the only menu option. - On the next menu press right again - Select the top menu item - Then select the second menu item

Just finished Emerald Dragon (English translation) stargood.org/trans/emdr.php Used a SSDS3, had a few crashes (debug codes bottom left). However, reloading my save allowed me to progress past the hang point each time. Many thanks to all involved in the translation #PCエンジン #PCEngine #turbografx

I will have to set my alarm and get up early to catch a few more live streams soon. PCE Friday nights stream starts Saturday morning around 04:30 here in the UK. I do catch up via the VOD so keep up the great work.

Popping up to Crash Live 2025 in Kenilworth tomorrow morning. Not looking forward to the train journey, but really looking forward to catching up with friends, meeting new people - and hopefully squeezing in a bit of gaming for a break! 🙂

It’s also worth checking / removing the packing sponge, as these can also degrade and leave marks on the back pages.

A reminder to check your HuCard sleeves for any signs of stickiness. I recently picked up a brand-new sealed copy of Cadash as a replacement and when I opened it the card sleeve had become sticky causing some minor damage to the back of the HuCard. #PCエンジン #PCEngine #turbografx

This looks like a casette that was written to via an EDOS machine. We had one of these in the shop I had used to work at back in the 90's. Looks like the reseller just forgot to write the title on the label. blog.amigaguru.com/edos-the-sof...

I have just stumbled across the PDF Translation feature in Microsoft Edge. Open a PDF, select translate, highlight the text and it will perform a translation on the selected text. This feature is due to receive an update that will allow you to perform whole document translation in one go!
