The Supergrafx was the first 'cult import system' I ever tracked down.
I remember, sheesh, way back when it came out in japan,
a gamer mag did a blurb on the daimakaimura game for it,
had a screenshot for it, and me and my buddies all went
"dammit I want THAT version!" heh.
So jump to....man, several years later, and I score one
via some long-gone game store in mesquite Texas (damn
you Mikey for closing doors the WEEK after I found
your game store!). Damn if the guy didn't also have a pc engine
w/cd attachment in the glass case, for a hundred bucks,
I bummed money off a friend and bought it too.
Ended up w/just enough gas money for the drive home,
heh heh. Man, that game store was awesome, I remember
what seemed to be several hundred pc engine games on
a shelf. "We'll be back next week with big time CASH!"
was met w/apathy and an "I'll be closed down by then"
auuuugh. He ended up dumping all the crap on the
newsgroups, i think. Pre-ebay, remember that kids?
SG looked NIB, w/Gran Zort and Battle Ace for 150,
I thought it was a deal. Now if I could just track down
an FM Towns Marty for cheap, I'd have cult system
closure, nyuk nyuk.
*wanders off, trips over an arcade pcb*
Dammit.
