Swung by the GW today on my way home from work and found something a bit out of the ordinary sitting on the merchandise counter. There were a stack of 7 immaculately mint PC-FX games (even include promotional material), along side a CIB controller for the system. I don't know much about the PC-FX other than it was the successor to the PC Engine and was only released by Japan; the manufacture is NEC. Eventually it was ousted by the PS1. I am not a huge import collector, but decided to not let a chance like this slip by.

The titles are:

Battle Heat
Cutie Honey (sealed)
Deep Blue Fleet
Neo Generation II (Yikes, are those girls 18?)
Return to Zorn (sealed)
Team Innocent
Zenki

I purchased all 7 games ( two of switch seem to be sealed), and the CIB NEC controller for $43.

Here are a few pictures:

Nice snag.
I've wanted a PC Engine for quite some time now and have yet to come across anything in the wild. Never heard of PC-FX but definitely cool stuff. I'm not so much into the Anime psuedo-pr0n but they look like some cool titles anyhow.

It's not very often you see stuff like that in Goodwills.

Some poor guys mom or gf prolly got sick of it "laying around the house" and decided to get rid of it.

Not sure if you saw this already, but it might have some interesting info on the PC-FX.

Yeah, no such luck. I was hoping and praying I would find it.
