Might and Magic for the Genesis for $30, I pay the shipping.  Game includes

best RPGs for the Genesis and has a large amount of towns, dungeons,

I am looking to buy a used NES system.  I am looking for one that is in 
good working order and NOT come with alot of games.  I just want the base
system + the mario/duckhunt that comes with it.  I would like for it to come 
in its original box with TV adapter.  If you have a NES system laying around
not being used please e-mail me.

Just an update of the posting I have since last time.

I don't want to sell the Macross 2036 anymore, since I found out
that the very same Ranma 1/2 game will be appearing on PC-Engine
Super CDROM system. And I'm going to wait for this one instead of
buying the SuperFamicom one for the better animations.

And here is a list of what I'm selling.

Super Famicom
-------------
1. Final Fantasy 4          $25.00

Someone is interested in the Zelda game, but no deal yet, so I'll just take
it off the list for now. And the Final Fight Guy was gone the next minute
I posted.

Thanks for all of you who responded.

I know this is the wrost place as well as the best place to ask this,
but here goes:

I am sick of paying $7.07 Cdn per issue for EGM, so I'm getting a 
subscription. Being in Canada, I cannot call their 1-800 number.
Logically, this is the fastest way to get my order processed. So
would one of you lovable netters who gets EGM mind calling in an
order for me? Email me back and I'll give you my address and whatnot.

Please don't flame me for this. I'll end up buying the damn thing
anyway, so why not save a couple of bucks. Thanks again.

Is there any way to change the background music? Also, I heard from a friend
that you're supposed to be able to transform the characters: like turning
Shampoo into a cat or Ryougha into a pig. Could this be some other secret
combination of buttons? 

BTW, after playing this game a bit, I think that the best character is
Kunoh. His stick is just too deadly. However, he does have one nemesis whom
he cannot beat - Genma. All Genma has to do is to foot slide continuously...
actually I haven't figured out a way to counter this really annoying tactic
of Genma's....

Try (when the title screen appears): <up> <down> <left> <right> and then while
holding down <a> <b> and <c> press <start>. Now you can select your level and
listen to the music and the sound FX. This may not always work so keep on

It's actually pretty easy to sneak up on Santa.  You sneak towards him,
but if wakes up and starts to look around, stand still until he falls
asleep.  Once he is snoozing again, you can continue to sneak towards
him.  If you touch him, he gets startled and drops a bunch of presents.

PC-Engine Duo/ Turbo CD Duo is a machine with the regular PC-Engine(Core
Graphx)/ TurboGarphx and also the super CD Rom.  You do no need a system card
to operate the system, the system card is built in.  It also support CD-G, i.e.
CD graphics.  No system card is needed for Super CD Rom.  System card is built
in.  Comparing Sol Feace to Gate of Thunder, I found that Sol Feace is not that
attractive.  The animation in Sol Feace is quite attractive, but during the
regular game, the action is not as intense as Gate of Thunder.  This may be
because of the fact that the full potential of Mega CD has not been utilized.
Looking at the newest games for PC-Engine Super CD, e.g. Marcross 2036, Far East
of Eden II, Forgotten World, Super CD has its potential.  Mega CD needs some
really good software to support its sale.  Heavy Nova, Earnest Evan are
the worst action game I have ever seen.  Lunar the Silver Star and Cosmic
Fantasy Story on Mega CD looks very promising, judging from the screen shots in
the latest issue of Mega Drive Fan.

   Basically, the gun comes w/ a couple variations of Tetris, and some
first person shooters.  Nothing terrific, but kind of cute.

   I tried the S-Gun out at a local video game store, and was truly
impressed w/ the way it handled.  It was comfortable to hold, and was
quite accurate.  Now what I want to know is how the silly thing works!
I don't think it operates like the old photocell guns, because the
screen doesn't flash a bit when you fire.  (I also tried aiming the
gun at a light - no hits!)  Anyone opened one of these puppies up yet?

"Eject" is done via software, by clicking the cursor at the menu.

I'm quite interested in these Super CD games, could you tell me a bit more
about them? Is Forgotten Worlds two players? How does it compare graphics
and game play wise to the arcade version? Does it have all the levels? 

How is Gate of Thunder and the other games better than Sol-Feace? I thought
the intro in Sol-Feace was pretty good, do those games have better ones? The
smooth rotation of the enemies in Sol-Feace is pretty amazing and the game
gets really intense on the harder levels. Are the Super CD games just as 
impressive graphically?
