GONEZO! : PC-9801 RPGs, boxed

[GONEZO! : PC-9801 RPGs, boxed]

These are now pending dispatch.

[GONEZO! : PC-9801 RPGs, boxed]

Yo.

 

I have five RPGs for PC-9801 (Japanese computer). I don't know why I have them, and I don't care how much they may be "worth." I just know that I do not want them.

Four games are pictured. The fifth is Brandish 2. It is not pictured because it's just a black plastic case with no labels. Everything that should be in the box, is inside the box.

The former owner of the games took fab care of them, so all the materials inside the boxes look brand spanking new. (God bless the Japanese, always so respectful of and careful with their stuff.)

 

Lucky recipient to pay for shipping via PayPal personal payment. USA peoples only, please.

 

Get in touch by PM if you want 'em. Otherwise in a week or so, they're dumpster food. 😱

Anyway, my question to you, Looks like ZAKU 1st release and 2nd release were good sellers?

 

Zaku moved 1,000 units overall. So I think we did OK. 😏

 

I'm incredibly proud of Zaku, as well. Being a part of the development process (as producer) was one of my favorite experiences from all the years at Super Fighter Team. PenguiNet (Osman) created a landmark title for the Lynx. Even if it had only sold 10 copies, it's just a game that, in my opinion, had to exist.

Wow, you guys, I still have Super Block Battle for my N-Gage, from way back.

 

Holy schnikes! You just brought back some fond memories of the early years of our company. I loved the Symbian platform. That was back when Nokia was the mobile phone industry. The N-Gage was my first cell phone, and I loved it (despite its many shortcomings). Needless to say I was delighted to oversee development of the first official sequel to Super Fighter on that device. I'm still very proud of that game.

I have a Supervision with a boxed TV link and a bunch of games. I never, ever play any of it. I'd like to get rid of all of it but I don't really know what it's worth.

 

I sent you a PM about that. In the least, I can give you some pointers about what you have.

[Supervision: handheld of the less fortunate]

All righty then! The page for the single-game cartridge version of Cross High actually has some content on it now, but don't get excited 'cuz it's just some screenshots and a note about the (non-)ending.

 

While preparing this stuff, I've been listening to the soundtrack of the far superior Motocross Maniacs for the Game Boy: the game Cross High poorly ripped off. Irony? Or just common sense? Maybe a little bit of both.

As far as things like Apple in a PC or Transporters or Trackstars and things of that nature, I always found them to be specialist solutions. They had a narrow range of capabilities

 

Generally I agree with you, as most of the "let's make one computer into another one" hardware solutions I've tried -- and I've tried many! -- really underwhelmed and / or were quite unreliable.

 

The Trackstar line, on the other hand -- and ESPECIALLY the Trackstar E -- is in my opinion the best of the bunch. Very versatile, extremely easy to use, and extremely high compatibility. You can have floppy disk images, ProDOS HDD images, and / or connect real Apple 5.25" drives to it. I grew up with an Apple IIc and I can say the Trackstar really provides an authentic experience very close to it.

 

Sure with modern software-based emulators these kinds of products are very niche now, but for guys like me who prefer running off real hardware, they can be pretty cool and fun. (Plus my website takes all the guesswork out of it.)

Are you sure that was the fault of the NEC V20?

 

I wasn't trying to imply it had anything to do with the CPU. Something about the proprietary PC Transporter hardware is likely responsible for the game incompatibilities. As I recall none of the issues I had were speed related, it was all problems with the keyboard input not working right in games, and/or PC speaker sound issues. Not something you'd see on your average PCs.

 

I was told by a PC Transporter enthusiast that AE targeted the business market with this product, so I doubt game testing was high on their priority list.

The PC transporter by AE for the Apple made the thing into an unholy split personality, and it worked even slower then a 286. My dreams of playing Star Control 2 on the IIgs were never going to happen, as it rapidly unfolded.

 

It shipped with a NEC V20 (8088) and was apparently not intended for gaming at all as every game I threw at it, no matter how old and simple, had problems. I could also never get it to recognize any of the several 8087 co-processors I installed, despite them being the correct model & speed. When I was a teenager I too daydreamed about playing PC games on my Apple II. It wasn't meant to be for either of us.

 

The PC Transporter is also a bitch to install, especially in the cramped IIgs case. After all the work I put into getting it in there, I'm not going to remove it even though it's basically useless to me. 😑

That is really sweet! I may have to be on the lookout for one!

 

 

If you do, I would recommend the Trackstar E. It's the most advanced of the line, and also the easiest and most convenient to use.

If you pick one up and need any help, feel welcome to get in touch.

If you had an IBM PC you could buy something called the TrackStar. It was an Apple II compatible on an IBM PC expansion card.

 

I've got a whole website devoted to it, as well as a similar product called the Quadlink...

Gobs of info there, the majority of which is based on my own original research. Check it out. 😉

[Diamond Trackstar 128: Original utility disk needed]

Rise from your grave. 😆

I have since obtained a Trackstar 128 Utility Program disk and a copy in KryoFlux format is available on my website @

If anyone else buys a 128 w/o the disk, you can write a copy of the disk, with copy protection intact, using the KryoFlux.

[Watara Supervision or Gamate items]

What???? Are you guys serious? The vextrex has a Supervision multicart? And the cartridge will work on a Supervision?

 

Wow. I don't know if I can handle your EXTREME enthusiasm for the Supervision.

 

And lol sorry, my phone freaked out and sent like a bunch of the same replies

 

I mean, even your phone is getting in on it.

 

But what might interest you, if you haven't seen it already, is my modest Supervision website @

You can learn all about what you may want to avoid collecting.

 

I don't have any items to sell you, though. You're on your own there.

 

Best luck.

These have been sold.

- Mega Jet
- Nomad w/original carrying case
- Sega CDX

[FS: Laseractive, X'Eye, CDX, TG-16 w/Turbo Booster, blah blah et Cetera.]

Let's add photos, part II: the revenge.

 

Notes:

 

1). Note the scratch on the GBC screen. Most sellers would say it "does not affect gameplay," but they'd be full of snot.

2). Admit it: Galactic Pinball is calling to you with its siren song.

3). Apparently some items were not, in fact, photographed yet. D'oh!

[FS: Laseractive, X'Eye, CDX, TG-16 w/Turbo Booster, blah blah et Cetera.]

Let's add photos: part I.

 

Notes:

 

1). Pardon the lackluster photos.

2). While controllers and AC adapters are included for all Genesis / Mega Drive systems and compatibles, those things aren't shown in the photo. I can take photos of said controllers and adapters if someone has a burning desire to see them.

3). GGPro flash cart does not come with free birdseed.

[FS: Laseractive, X'Eye, CDX, TG-16 w/Turbo Booster, blah blah et Cetera.]

Mega Jet added to sales list.

[Supervision: handheld of the less fortunate]

It's definitely a case of "much more enjoyable to research than it is to play." Which is sad. Because researching it doesn't exactly provide for a yippee-yahoo type experience either.

[FS: Laseractive, X'Eye, CDX, TG-16 w/Turbo Booster, blah blah et Cetera.]

The following items have been sold:

 

- Pioneer Laseractive w/Sega PAC

- Game Boy Light
- game.com

[Supervision: handheld of the less fortunate]

Bought a blister pack version of the QuickShot Supervision online, kindly asked the seller to please protect the cardstock insert against potential shipping damage. So of course, the guy crams the thing into a box an inch too short, and the insert gets bent. Well, whatever. I could still get a scan. And now, that scan is online. I also updated the grey box scans to include the Block Buster & Cross High 2-in-1. Enjoy!

[SOLD: Taiwanese PC (DOS) and Mega Drive games, most boxed & complete]

Hello, all.

As part of my continued spring cleaning efforts I'm selling my Taiwanese video game collection for PC (DOS) and Mega Drive. Also included are two American games.
Some pretty cool stuff here, most are rather difficult to find:

PC:

熊貓大進擊 (aka Panda, Go!) <- Two versions: One complete (CD version), second is disks and manual only.
西楚霸王項羽 (aka Xiang Yu, The Overlord of Western Chu) <- Complete except for outer box.
西遊記 (aka Journey to the West) <- Two versions: Both complete (CD and disk; disk version not pictured because box looks exactly the same).
爆笑保齡球 (aka Hilarious Bowling) <- Complete.
VR網球96 (aka VR Tennis '96) <- Complete.
排球原人 (aka Volleyball Hominid) <- Disks and manual only.
天才寶寶大進擊 (aka Little Geniuses, Go!) <- Disks and manual only.
Metal & Lace: The Battle of the Robo Babes <- Complete.
One Must Fall 2097 <- CD w/manual & all inserts.

MD:

麻雀惡魔塔 (aka Devilish Mahjong Tower) <- Complete.
悟空外傳 (aka Legend of Wukong) <- Complete.
世界職棒爭霸戰 (aka World Pro Baseball '94) <- Complete.

All disks/CDs in great shape. Recently all were tested. All CDs are fine. Floppy disks however, ~95% read OK w/no errors. However I cannot guarantee any of the data on the floppy disks due to age. Game cartridges likewise are recently tested. They work fine. I originally bought these games for research purposes, including making scans. Staples were removed from the manuals in order to get the highest quality scans. Sold "as-is." Please keep this in mind when considering a purchase.

I prefer to sell the collection complete, for USD$350 -> USD$300 (includes shipping within USA). Please inquire about international shipping.

Please get in touch by PRIVATE MESSAGE if interested. And don't litter the thread with "PM Sent!" messages. Nobody cares.

 

Pardon the lackluster photos.

Thanks for having a look.
