while still waiting for bubble bobble cabinet parts, something else arrived at my doorstep
something which must be handled carefully
let's have a look at the customs declaration form: coming in from seoul, south korea a used old pc board
here's what it looks like inside the box - still in its bubble wrap protection
but wait, what's that underneath it? ANOTHER ONE? and what about that smaller red bubble wrap package?
so what's inside all that packaging stuff?
not one, but TWO modded pc engines!
it's an official pc engine jamma modification which allows you to run the system inside a jamma arcade cabinet!
ok, interesting, but what about the red bubble wrap package? time to find out! inside, two HU-eprom cards
simply slide them into the pc engine and ...
... play PARASOL STARS on your arcade cabinet!
for those of you who don't know the game, parasol stars is the official sequel to rainbow islands, but it was never released in the arcades - contrary to what some people say. however, it was first released on pc engine (later ported to other systems like the amiga) and this version is supposed to be the best one which has arcade-like graphics, sound and gameplay!
i'll be running the pc engine inside my other bubble bobble cabinet - together with RAINBOW ISLANDS, because those two games simply belong together
oh, why do you need two pc engines, you might ask? simple answer: i don't
. the second one will be sent off to some danish dude "living" in The Shed tomorrow ... have fun, michael!
