I have an old EGM from 1996, and one page showed a collection of Japanese systems-- PC-FX being one of them (even though it was just described as "NEC FX"). I really wish I could get this system despite its price and the majority of slutty, not-so-kid-friendly games on this thing.

@gshowguy Other than serious collecting....I do not recommend picking this system up.....without any knowledge of Japanese it is almost impossible to enjoy anything about it....only a couple of very expensive action titles can really be played without needing to read text....check out ZENKI on ebay......

If there's my system to be sad about its failure, it's the amazing Sega Dreamcast.

@ojideagu dollars the system is used but the system is near mint with slight discolor on the top of it but barely noticable. unfortunately no box

[ojideagu]

@TheImportGamer93 Is that dollars or pounds. And brand new or boxed? What's the condition like.

[TheImportGamer93]

@ojideagu around 270 

[ojideagu]

@jlchambers82 Wow really? Where from and what's the condition like. I've seen a uk company trying to sell them for $700 I think brand newish.

[jlchambers82]

@ojideagu The system itself was only like $60.....cost like $80 to ship from Japan

[ojideagu]

@TheImportGamer93 How much did you pay

[TheImportGamer93]

this system is beast i just ordered one of these a few days ago with 2 games and im waiting for it in the mail im quite interested in the games for it even though i understand little japanese i love nec and the games that came out for their systems i dont know many games on their systems that actually suck i think these sexy beast is a great piece of gaming history that should be owned by hardcore gamers and hopefully some people should start homebrewing for this system :) btw man love the vid

[seemoremacstuff]

Very cool, the systems are not to expensive but the shipping on those from japan is crazy!

[jlchambers82]

@gshowguy Zenki looks like a blast....really a game designed for what the system could do.....I just can't shell out the $350+ on ebay....maybe I will come across a copy....one day....next to the winning lottery ticket and the unicorn...
