I would recommend owning one for its fantastic Shmups although I seem to mostly play these 4 games: I started with emulation but it is laggy and playing on real hardware to me was more enjoyable. If you consider the cost of a Gradius PCB. I bought it originally to play it’s version of castlevania, but don’t expect a Rondo quality game as it is not even close to the PCE gem.

There was a huge home brew scene that uploaded there own sprites and character movements, and backdrops to make for some crazy fighting mixups before the custom fighting scene moved onto windows PC’s There is also a learning curve to learning which games run properly on 10mhz instead of turbo. I like to show off ChoShenRa but don’t really enjoy it playing it. I’ve owned the xvi for over a year and can’t stop playing its Gradius iterations. But, it will never be your daily driver, requires lots of tweaking, and will end up costing you a lot more then you think it will. It is very much a Ferrari, when it all works it's a beautiful thing. If you are an impulse buyer, I would recommend you stay away. These days, pretty much everyone just uses Compact Flash/SD Card adapters in place of an HDD, and just run almost everything off of that. Bigger games pretty much all support hard drives. Even better of course is hard drive support. If you have enough RAM, even SSF2 will fully load into RAM on boot and no disks will be needed until you reboot. Being a computer, the games will load as much data as they can into RAM. Personally I love MIDI, and the X68000 really excels at MIDI support.Īs for the Capcom games, none of them are arcade perfect, but they are all excellent either way. but it is a system that requires a bit of research and planning before one should consider buying one.

It just didn't get the software support of a typical console. It is a very good machine with lots of fun stuff to mess with, but I think the majority of people will tend to find the game library a bit limiting. I would say it is certainly not the best retro system ever lol. Even the best home PCs couldn't even get close. "Arcade perfect" was the holy grail of gaming. Discussion of how Snes and Megadrive ports differed from the coin-op dominated video game review magazines back then. If anything would have had broad appeal in America and Europe, it would be a machine capable of arcade perfection.

It's even more amazing that someone decided not to release it outside Japan.

It's amazing to me that in 1987, while Sega were flogging the Master System, and three years before SNK released the AES, there was a home gaming computer capable of arcade perfect ports of premium arcades of the day. It looks like the best gaming machine ever released (relative to what others were available at the time).ĭoes anyone here own a working one? And if so, what is it like to play Capcom arcade games like SF2 CE, Final Fight and Strider? And how are the Neo Geo ports like Viewpoint and Fatal Fury? Are they really arcade perfect and how does games coming on 5 1/4" floppy discs effect them? Is there long loading times between rounds in SF2 etc? How does the experience compare to Groovymame on a crt monitor?

Number 2 on my list of gaming hardware I always wanted (but never bought) is the Sharp 圆8000 (just under the PC Engine laptop).
