I want to start up a PC Engine collection, but I don't know which is better to get...the core PC engine, or the super graphic engine?...I only intend to play the HuCards and not hte CD based games ...... also can anyone recogmend a good list of the must play platformer and shoot em ups and arcade ports that this system has...(either jap, or the US counterpart is fine)...
@medicwheat69 I would just get a Core Grafx to start with. There werent many games made specifically for the Super Grafx. As for games, you cant really go wrong with any of the Arcade ports imo. Check out pcengine.co.uk theres loads of reviews and stuff on there.
Less of a review than a guy talking about his retro gaming collecting hobby... I see these from time to time on action here in Japan but I don't really get the appeal. They are big and ugly, unlike they very well designed and sleek core grafx systems. I'd like to get a PC Engine LT one day though. You can get them for between $200-$300.
just thought of something after watching this video for like the thousandth time since that was really for the kid market thats the reason they did that locking thing with the ac adapter port
i didnt see a turbo express when you had all of your systems laid out,but that lt handheld i must admit that is something i hve NEVER seen or heard of i kinda liked my pc express better though ,and didnt they have a japaneese version of the turbo express that was white or something or was it black too?i cant remember,and yea the shuttle i think i heard about it or saw it but till recently when i was lookin for super grafx on ebay
Just like you I saw this PC-Engine special in a British magazine and it immediately fascinated me. It was like some other dimension beside NES and SEGA that had all these obscure titles. The fact that PC-Engine was never released in Holland made it even more intriguing to get my hands on one ! I finally got to borrow one AND a PC Engine GT around 1992 which was so cult! It blew me away. Sadly they were just TOO expensive to buy/import back then.They are STILL on my wish list tho !
Dam,i used to have one of these,bought off ebay years ago for around £35!Unfortunately went through a selling stage of all my retro stuff that didnt get used much and sold it for around £80.Also sold my original white pc engine and turbo duo. So wish i had'nt sold it all now! Nice collection!
i always thought this thing looked like the Atari Jaguar. although i think it's safe to say that this machine had a LOT more awesome games than the Jaguar ;)
@skunkkey666 I know the PC engine is next gen its just that he said he had completed is PC engine collection and thought that he should include since at the time lukeMorse1 was selling his i beleive
Hehe - I was going to mention the LT to you to whet your appetite in case you hadn't heard of it - but you totally beat me to it :P
I think the only other rarity is that in car / GPS version isn't it? Although I may have muddled that up with another console as a quick google returns nothing. I guess in that case there's just the Sharp X1 Twin and the Pioneer Laserdisc add-on unit if you're feeling crazy enough to collect either of those - possibly not! :)
@alagear He's been collecting since he was a child. Its not like he just went out and bought it all at once. Plus he has a good job because he's very intellegent.
@alagear "How the hell can he afford all that?" It takes years to build a collection like this. I assume that he is in his 30's and that he has been collecting since he was a kid.
I've always been fascinated with the shuttle as well. Thanks for showing us other fans what it's like.
I myself have been wanting a Duo-R and the LCD screen that matches the PC-Engine Duo. Those two things, Turbo Express and Turbo CD would just about complete the hardware part of my TG16/PCE collection.
Wasn't there a white PC-Engine shuttle at one time? It seems like there may have been but, I may be wrong.
There's another variation of the TG16 in some other country but, forgot where.
I don't own a videogame collection, I usually sell my consoles after a while even though I love them (you know that being a collector is hard work, and I know I can't do it), but I've been thinking about getting myself a PC Engine.
I first saw a PCE on a game magazine, and loved the idea of cards. I've played lots of PCE games through emulators (99% of my gaming life revolves around emulators), but I really feel I HAVE TO buy a PC Engine. I know I'll do it, sooner or later.
yo dude nice collection never knew about the shuttle very nice vid or the lt wow. anyways i was wondering i knew about the super grafx for awhile but wasnt there another one in the shape of a computer?
Excellent episode. I have a PC Engine Shuttle but its missing its "cockpit window". Anyone with spare "cockpit window" i'd be happy to compensate you. I thought the Shuttle was obscure even back in the mid' 90s so I picked one up on-sale $99 a at local import / domestic gaming store. Its barely been used because most of my gaming was done on TurboDuo due to the accessible CDROM gaming ^_^
Does the PC Engine Shuttle controller have a standard plug that works with all PC Engine systems or is it a special plug so it only works with the Shuttle?
@CEEPMDEE -- You don't make any sense. That 1989 issue of Gamepro was very insightful at the time. Many of us never knew NEC had several incarnations of PC Engine. Besides, like HCG said, the PC Engine Shuttle was geared towards the younger gamers in Japan.
1st Grooveraider, thanks 4 NOT bein an asshole. I just think we where getting ripped off back then.
the arcades where so much stronger than home consoles n it makes me mad just thinking about it. they could have made it with a cd upgrade built in at least
Game and console collecting can sometimes feel like a kind of sickness sometimes, can't it? I got a few titles I'd still like to get including a few import Saturn games like Radiant Silvergun and Akumajou Dracula: Nocturne in the Moonlight. But with times being the way they are, I think I'll stick to mainstream releases for the time being. I'd like very much to procure an American copy of Valis III but the CD component of my TurboGrafx conked out a few years back. :(
@YoureNotAlexander -- Times are rough economically, I totally agree. Depending on how bad you want it - the CD component of your Turbografx-16 can be repaired. Do a Google search for: Old School Gamer They can fix it ^_^
When I got a bit of money to spend, I may go ahead and do that. To be honest though, I'd be content with a good emulator. Unfortunately, Magic Engine doesn't like to play the music tracks when running a Turbo CD game. Such a shame to as otherwise, it's a perfect TurboGrafx emulator. If anyone can help me figure out how to make that work, I'll go ebay me a copy of Valis III next paycheck (probably not actually as I very much want to get the School Rumble season 2 DVD boxset but soon though).
We all know that you're PC Engine IS NOT complete (aside from the LT). I predict that you're going to buy a Core Grafx I eventually. It matches the colours of your Shuttle and Super Grafx!
Wow! I didn't know that the thing Danny Glover used to kill the Predator was a PC-Engine system too!.....Be carefull, it's VERY sharp and I heard if you beat Splatterhouse on it you win an antique pistol, but Iv'e never done it........Emilo SNEStevez did.
I remember the Shuttle. Never really liked the looks of the thing (compared to the perfect PCE anyway) but it is rare and that controller looks cool too. It does look like a Shuttle. I mean I never really noticed that before lol but wings on the back and the window up front. I think Luke showed us an LT at Hard Off once. I'm sure it was crazy expensive.
Very nice video, glad you got the Shuttle safe and sound. It really is a neat little system and a great conversation piece.
When I heard you say your PC Engine collection was complete, I was thinking to myself what about the LT, and then you said it lol. That system is cool but really more of a novelty than anything today. I would love to find a Duo Monitor for my collection but they are also very rare and expensive.
Shuttle before! I think it looks very cool! It's fun and sleek. I love how I learn something new everytime I tune into this show! Johnny, you are the PC Engine king!!
It seems that the Japanese keep their boxes more. I always see Chrono Trigger boxed for super fami for like $15. I also have been wanting to get the original Shin Megami Tensei game for the Super Fami, which you can get boxed for cheap!
before i had my atari 2600 i had a game system and i dont remember what it was called i think it just had 5 games built in, it had a gun and i think it had a pong type game cant remember anything else. anyone know what it is?
you're either ignorant or just stupid. 16 bit graphics were being first introduced, and the TurboGrafx-16 blew people's minds. I must admit that the Genesis was around in america first, but fewer people actually bought one before the Tg-16 came out. and remember this was 19 years ago.
Whoa, calm down dude. If you seen my channel I'm actually one of the biggest fans of the Turbografx out there and it was 20 years ago. I was just saying that NEC had some tough luck with certain systems like the Super Grafx which only lasted a year.
And girlfriends never understand awesome things. My girlfriends the same way about me and my game collection. She doesn't like it so she doesn't understand how someone else might.
Excellent pickup man. I don't think Luke himself own this. I never seen this before(looks more like a hover craft) but PCE sure spawned a lot of cool looking machines. I'm not a big fan of its games but loved how it the graphics looked back in the day.
Yet another great video! I've owned pretty much every incarnation of the PC Engine except for the Shuttle, or as I always used to see it referred to as, the Shuttegrafx. Once I found out it couldn't hook up to the CDROM attachment, I decided not to buy one. Also, I was wondering if you would say something about the PC Engine LT. I always wanted one of them, but they are SO expensive. It was way ahead of its time, and too expensive to be a success. Keep the awesome videos coming!!!!
Congrats to Happy Console Gamer :) You know, it was kinda funny to hear you tell us how hard to get the Shuttle version is 'cause I got mine (with out a box) 1-2 years ago for less than $200 (and I think it was closer to $100) total. And though I wanted it for it's AV-outputs I wasn't exactly hunting for it 24/7 on Ebay. I guess it's simply about a good timing. For so long I wanted to get Sailor Moon for the 3D0 but there was a time when it simply wasn't on Ebay. But I eventually got it too :)
This is a perfect example of why a person should never give up on a search. I know speaking for myself when you actually find whatever it is that you are looking for, its such a rush. Just like treasure hunting, probably just as addictive as any drug out there. Anyway great find and great vid as usual.
Others will never understand why gamers have diffrent models of systems, or so many games, or diffrent varaitions. They will never understand.

I'm surprised you don't want the ultra rare UK model though. I've got two in my collection, but was totally by accident.
But there's a clone of the shuttle called the PC Boy. Really nice to own too, absolutely worthless, but a nice talking point.

Get a Turbo Express!!!
And girlfriends never understand awesome things. My girlfriends the same way about me and my game collection. She doesn't like it so she doesn't understand how someone else might.

Excellent pickup man. I don't think Luke himself own this. I never seen this before(looks more like a hover craft) but PCE sure spawned a lot of cool looking machines. I'm not a big fan of its games but loved how it the graphics looked back in the day.

Yet another great video! I've owned pretty much every incarnation of the PC Engine except for the Shuttle, or as I always used to see it referred to as, the Shuttegrafx. Once I found out it couldn't hook up to the CDROM attachment, I decided not to buy one. Also, I was wondering if you would say something about the PC Engine LT. I always wanted one of them, but they are SO expensive. It was way ahead of its time, and too expensive to be a success. Keep the awesome videos coming!!!!

Congrats to Happy Console Gamer :) You know, it was kinda funny to hear you tell us how hard to get the Shuttle version is 'cause I got mine (with out a box) 1-2 years ago for less than $200 (and I think it was closer to $100) total. And though I wanted it for it's AV-outputs I wasn't exactly hunting for it 24/7 on Ebay. I guess it's simply about a good timing. For so long I wanted to get Sailor Moon for the 3D0 but there was a time when it simply wasn't on Ebay. But I eventually got it too :)

This is a perfect example of why a person should never give up on a search. I know speaking for myself when you actually find whatever it is that you are looking for, its such a rush. Just like treasure hunting, probably just as addictive as any drug out there. Anyway great find and great vid as usual.
Keep up the great work.
