Subject: TE AC adapters


I've got a question on universal ac adapters being used with a Turbo 
Express. Are there any that will work with one? I have a Powerline(from 
Wal-Mart) that does 3V, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, and 12V. There's also 7 
different tips that came with it. A couple look like they're about the 
right size, tho I don't currently have a system to be sure.
Is anyone familiar with this adapter or would I just be a whole lot 
better off going with the NEC adapter.

Thanks for any help!

Thus spake Derrick Castiglione (derrick@mdg.ca):

Excellent idea!

My top 5 would be:

  1.  Bonk - all (I'm just a platformer addict, and the gameplay of this
      one is truly unique)
  2.  Time Cruise (I also love good pinball games.  I think this one
      takes the cake!)
  3.  Neo Nectaris (great in head-to-head mode)
  4.  Bomberman '93 / '94 -- fantastic for parties!
  5.  Titan -- a little known one, sorta like 2D Breakout.

Others that didn't make the cutoff:  Klax (enjoyable but the sound
effects grate on my nerves; I have to put on a CD or MP3 stream
instead), Xevious and Galaga '88 (only when I'm in a retrogaming mood),
and Photograph Boy (which I don't currently own, but is a fantastic
novelty game...)

Anyone have copies of Dungeon Explorer / Dungeon Explorer II (or even
Photograph Boy) with which they'd be willing to part?  I still have a
number of duplicate Japanese games available, and would be willing to
mail a list (trades only.)

I live in Japan.  Okinawa to be exact.  It's kinda a long story how I
ended up here, but basically I managed to get a contracting job here.
Okinawa is a nice place.  Although Okinawa is part of Japan, it's really
not anything you'd expect if you know anything about Japan.  For example,
there's no train or subway here.  A monorail just opened, but it's only
around the capital city.  Okinawa, while crowded, is a very laid back
place.  Also, it's a very small island.  You'll have to take a plane to
go to anywhere else in Japan, which is an inconvinence.

Anyway, to keep this related to the list...  it's getting harder and
harder to find PCE stuff here (Okinawa).  A nice thing though is
everything I have found has been very cheap (< Y1000, avg. Y600).
Although there's nothing particular rare, there's a number of stuff I
didn't have before.  I probably picked up around 100 games since the
beginning of this year.  I guess that's pretty good considering the
limited selection.

Due to the 20th anniversary of Famicon, I've been getting back into that
system too.  It's super easy to find Famicon and SFC games and cheap for
the most part.

So, if anybody is planning to come to Okinawa, I'd be happy to show people
around.  I know a lot of game stores, anime, clubs, etc.
