Think I have about 40 odd CD titles. That's enough for me.

I’m very aware that I can no longer just go out and buy all my favourite games again, which is a shame, but the prices really have entered a point where I can’t justify it. I never thought PCE titles would’ve entered AES pricing territory! I have a list of stuff I’d like to find, and it will very much be a waiting game as availability these days seems pretty non existent, which obviously explains the prices folk are asking and paying. Of course I once owned pretty much everything there was to own for the system and I chose to sell up, but I’ve found a few ways to come to terms with that in my head.

I can honestly say that the gaming time I've had with the PC-Engine recently with the Super HD System 3 attached has been utterly brilliant fun. (Today alone I've had full run throughs of several games) The downside of this is it's completely reignited my love for the system, at a time when it couldn't be worse to want to own some of my favourite titles again.
Obviously I've never been one to let common sense stop me though. And three of the all time greats for the system hit the doormat today. Kicking off with what for me personally is the single greatest game for the system in HuCard format and quite possibly my favourite shmup of all time, Soldier Blade. Price wise I absolutely wince at what it cost me to get a pristine copy though.
Second it's another favourite HuCard shmup, Gunhed. I still remember drooling over this when it appeared in C&VG and being desperate to get my hands on it, and it didn't disappoint. Probably the game that really got me to fall in love with shooters on the system.
And finally the mind-blowing for the time R-Type I. This was my favourite arcade machine down at the seafront arcade when I was young, and it absolutely blew my mind when I played it on the PCE for the first time. I still get chills up my back when I haven't played it for a while and the music on the first stage kicks in. Still one of the all time greats.
So yeah, looks like I'm in deep **** as I'm hooked all over again.
Making me very jealous!

If you were to say to me at this point I needed help for addiction, I couldn't really argue it.
@Baseley09 posting pictures of his set up is partly to blame for all of this, just the sight of his briefcase set up was enough to tip me over the edge. This is going to need a little TLC though nothing major. A bit of retrobright action and some Novus scratch remover should see it in nice shape. Importantly the CD-Rom2 is functioning and the gears have been replaced, which was the biggest danger in buying it I guess, it was actually surprisingly quiet when I tested it!
To be honest this is more of a display thing rather than something I'll play on, as the HD System 3 deals with all that. (Plus the living room TV can't take composite anyway!)

I'm sticking to rekindling my missing PCE CD times to the Analogue Duo, either way it's such a great combo.
