There is one available on a south african auction site. The problem is I couldn't get the guy to budge on shipping overseas. Maybe someone else can or has a connection in South Africa. Go ahead, convert the currency, it's cheap http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/7206...E_Console_Super_ACan_System_3_Games_905C.html
This isn't his first time listing, and in the past he has also refused to ship it overseas. I even offered to pay shipping + a "fee" for his troubles, and he still refused. Good luck finding a friend in South Africa to buy it for you
So I'm not the first? I offerred the guy double the listing and he wouldn't budge. There are so many people on this board with connections that I was sure someone had someone they knew in the right place.
Went to Midwest Gaming Classic '08, where there was an FM Towns Marty 2, and a Super A'Can on display among others.
Yeah what was that game on the Super A'Can? I played it for about 10 minutes and decided it was one of the worst Sonic clones I've ever played. The graphics were nice, but it was hard as hell and didn't play well. It was funny controling a kid with a bat as a weapon though, it reminded me of Soccer Kid (except Soccer Kid is 100 times better which should tell you something...). Tempest
there's something i've been wondering about this thing - in the (few) english sources that mention it it's credited to Funtech, but in Chinese it's usually associated with one "Dunhuang Technology" (that's the name that appears in the background of the startup screen, i believe). would i be right to suspect that they're one and the same, with Funtech being the English name and Dunhuang the Chinese one? and do they exist today in any form? i'm sure i read somewhere that Dunhuang was a subsidiary of UMC but i'm not 100% on that.
Its back up again..and its fucking cheap! I'll have a work with my sisters boyfriend. He's from SA and has much family there. Perhaps one of them can nab it.
The game at the Midwest Gaming Classic '08 (at that time) was Speedy Dragon (aka "Sonic Dragon" to some), and actually I put up a video for the game not that long ago as well as a review if you're interested: - YouTube Video - Speedy Dragon Review Hope you like it. :icon_bigg Later.
Joined the Super A'Can club I purchased one of these beauts awhile ago and have learned quite a bit more then I originally learned about it since I got here. Though I have no games and the system has never been played. Well, it will at least look nice on the mantle. :icon_bigg Here's some pics of the little guy. PICS:
Thanks for the video! It's about time someone actually recorded gameplay from one of the games. It goes without saying my expectations of that one in particular weren't met, but at least I've seen it now Is there a chance of any other games being recorded? Or was this recorded from a tv at the gaming expo?
Hehe, once you memorize the game you can actually go through it pretty quickly and it looks a lot nicer, though you're right, the game still isn't all that much fun unless you're a masochist. Unfortunately I was playing the game as I was recording it on the PC, so I had a split-second delay that was causing me a lot of grief. Next time I think I'm going to try and hunt down an AV splitter so I can play it on my TV and record it on the PC simultaneously. That was actually my system at the expo, but I recorded this one at home. I do have a few more games that I'll try to record in the near future. I'm glad you liked the video. Later.
Great I don't know if requests are anything you'd want, but if you have that RPG game(Sons Devil or something, I forgot), I'm interested what that game looks like.
That one is kind of a pickle, honestly, because I managed to get that game new and I have a real thing against opening games that old. I wrote an article about keeping games new & unopened not that long ago if you're interested... Plus, if you link to the second page at the bottom of that article, I put up a bunch of pictures including a pic of the unopened Son of Evil. - Unopened Games - Investment or an Obsession? I do have a friend that recently got his hands on the game, so come March when I see him again at the Midwest Gaming Classic, I'll see if I can get some time with it and make a video of it then. Later.
See if you can get some video footage of San Guo Zhi. That's about the only thing the A'Can has that makes me intrested (though I hear vs the orginal Taiwanese PC version, it was craptacular).
Not only is it a Sonic clone. I am watching DHG Hunter's youtube vid, and there's a part where it's a Space Harrier Clone as well.
