In NYC?  These days, it's harder and harder to find PC-Engine items in a lo=
t
of the used gaming stores... But there is hope.  There's one store on St.
Mark's Street (8th Street) between 2nd and 3rd Avenue called Multimedia 1.0=
This is probably your best bet, as they have a great selection of used game=
s
for all systems and a bunch of HuCards & CD-Rom titles.  Last time I was
there, I picked up Super Dodge Ball on HuCard.  Definitely one of my most
popular titles for the PC-Engine right now.  They also have systems for
purchase as well...

Just watch out for their prices... Sometimes, they try to be really cunning
when they purchase things off of you.  Someone I knew sold them an Art Of
Fighting ACD for $25, and saw the game in their case a few weeks later for
nearly $100.

I usually go in with my TE and ask if I can check out a HuCard title before
I can buy it... It gets mixed reviews, but at least I can give the
impression that I know what I'm talking about and make sure I get all of th=
e
games I really want.
