Unfortunately, the proper phrase is "holy (feces)". The word "wholly"
means "entirely" or "completely". In this case, you have stated that your
product is entirely crap. I'm sure that doesn't spark much interest.

Not to be nitpicky, but what is stated above means that the item is
completely (Wholly).... well you get the idea.

It's probably meant to be holy, as then it would be something spectacular.

lol, is that a sorry attempt to turn people off to this auction so you can
snag up a SuperGrafx cheap? =) Yeah right, nice try!

LOL, well I already picked up a PSX last night. I have thought about
getting a SuperGrafx just for craps and giggles though. It can play all the
old PC- Engine card games as well as the few games that did come out for it.
Does anyone know if the CD-ROM was compatible with it?

i don't think you can play pc engine games on supergraphix. i used to
have pc-engine and purchased monthly pc-engine fan. according to that,
you can't play pc-engine games on supergraphix. if you don't believe me,
buy one game and try it out on supergraphix.

It does indeed play PC Engine Hu-Cards; if it didn't it wouldn't be worth
much with so few SuperGrafx-specific games.

The CD-Rom2 (squared), the second one (the "SuperCD") works with it. There
may have been some sort of adapter required, I don't remember. This is the
sort of 'clamshell' looking CD unit that a CoreGrafx almost fit inside of,
not the 'side-by-side' design of the original CD.

I'd suggest that you buy some new magazines. The SG was and is backwards
compat with PCE hucards.

You'd better have one hell of a penny...no one has -ever- seen a screen shot
(the arcade shot in EGM years ago doesn't count), or the actual game...IMO it
doesn't exist in any form.

there is no SuperGrafx Strider....there -is- an ARCADE CARD Strider...but no
SG...if your store has it you had better buy it, cause a SG proto would be
worth -serious- cash.

The supergrafx plays ALL pcengine Hu card's, Because there are only 5 Super
grafx games. Plus a couple proto types that were unreleased but you can pick up
for a pretty penny (Supergrafx Strider and some other's).
The supergrafx does hook up to the Super CD rom add on and the CD rom add on,
But you need the pcengine R-30 nec converter, Which you can find for about 50
buck's.If the supergrafx WAS NOT backward's compatable it would be virtually
worthless, On the other hand if you are a Capcom diehard you would probly want
it just for the arcade PERFECT Ghost's and Ghoul's and 1941.

I understand that george palamara saw it in Akihabara for about 500 us dollers.

The game exists all right, but only as a prototype. and the prototype is
only 50% complete. I have heard estimates that the first 3 levels are
playable. Also, only 5 of these prototypes were produced. I would pay
almost any ammount for that prototype.
