My New Game System, The Rarest In My Collection!

[@PeteDorr]

Just a heads up for those interested in this console. There's currently a seller selling a working one with 2 games for $550 OBO free shipping. It's a pretty good deal for someone interested in delving into the realm of the Marty.

[@craiganderson7085]

+PeteDorr I was just wondering if you have played or have any plans to add PCs to your collection - eg the x68000? That system fascinates me. Thanks.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I never knew that version of Splatterhouse even existed to be honest. Like you I started with the 2nd game and played the hell out of it. Plus also being a horror fan this was like being Jason and killing tons of monsters rather than random campers lol Still though that's damn impressive it looks and sounds amazing for being a console port

[@GrossMetagross]

Hi Alpha

[@PeteDorr]

AlphaOmegaSin Yeah I was a big Friday the 13th fan when I was younger, so Splatterhouse 2 was like a Jason simulator to me, lol. The sound effects are by far the best thing about the game.

[@GroovyRecordman]

Better tell Mark from Classic Game Room that there's a Truxton 2

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Truxton 2 my mind is blown!

[@JMLRetroRoom]

For real! Where's Mark from Classic Game Room? Does he know about this!

[@suprmonkey73]

HappyConsoleGamer try the MAME/arcade version of the game on your computer, i can confirm it is friggin awesome, especially if you are a big Truxton fan. i was so excited when i found out there was a sequel

[@venomrocket1-upgaming847]

jlo138 Yo i did not know you watch this channel two :D

[@ceeejfilms]

i think Mark from classic game room would love to know theres a sequel to truxton

[@Anesthesia90]

c j powers i was thinking the same i don't think he knows...

[@edgegod7461]

+Bass he knows

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Did I miss it how much did you pay for that version of Splatterhouse???

[@PeteDorr]

HappyConsoleGamer You don't want to know.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

PeteDorr o_0;;!!

[@NESRomancer]

God damn the FM Towns Marty looks so ahead of its time other than that Amiga-ish colour. Like AlphaOmegaSin I had no idea this version of Splatterhouse even existed, but it looks fucking sweet! Really digging the graphics of all of those games.

[@Larry]

Hey Pete, I've got the complete ROM collection if there's any specific games you ever fancy playing on it. Just burn them to a CD, no copy protection!!! (I got one a few years ago in a job lot of consoles that the seller thought were broken from Japan, but mine was covered in mud and plumber's tape :S)

[@N64allday]

unfortunately, I think Pete is such a hardcore collector that he'd rather pay hundreds of dollars for a real copy than to play a burned copy for free

[@Larry]

The FMTowns is such an expensive beast to collect for, that the only real way to play games is by the ROMs sadly. The only console I've ever seen that has more expensive games to collect (even the basic, common ones) is the GX4000.

[@sgamer-xc1bd]

David Lopez FM Towns is one of those systems that some games are so rare (not to mention expensive) that it will probably take years for some games to even appear on eBay, if not more. So even if you're willing to pay insane amounts of money for very mediocre games, finding some one to sell you said games can take forever.

[@Liamthewaldo]

***** i read that in your voice :')

[@N64allday]

90sgamer92Eng Yes, i agree with you, and most sane people would rather take larry's advice. But pete has a collecting ocd. He would rather overpay for splatterhouse than get the turbo gfx version because he thinks its the purer version. I think pete takes his collecting too far sometimes, but its his money. If he'd rather pay an extra $500 for a version of a game with a couple more pixels than thats his business

[@DariaPlaysRPGs]

Ooooh. I've heard of the FM Towns, but I don't think I've ever seen one before. That Splatter House is a sexy beast. Congrats.

[@irishdeano92]

Keep these videos flowing Pete! Glad you're back & that Marty System is awesome!!!

[@danjaker5883]

I'm loving the amount of uploads recently Pete, keep it up!

[@TheAgonistfan]

OMFG Dark cloud! I loved the first one and the second had an amazing storyline. Brings back old ps2 memories

[@SuperJTthunder]

Was surprised at first when I hadn't heard of this, but when you said it was only released in Japan I was relieved. I thought I was missing out on something from the American market. Great video, hopefully the console works well for you. I'd love to see some more reviews on some of its games in the future!

[@electricadventures]

Excellent getting hold of a system and quite a few decent titles. Wouldn't mind one of these one day to continue my shooter collection, the games you showed look like they are very good versions.

[@Bludgeoned2DEATH2]

I never knew how much not having constant jumpcuts really made me enjoy the video so much more. It feels way more natural to have you talk in one go instead of jumpcutting everything.

[@a.tapes_]

seems like an awesome system. i know i've heard of the system but just in passing. can't wait for your next videos about this system

[@miniwarmonger788]

So happy for you mate ! Gotta love that spirit : D

[@donutbeanal]

I owned a port of the Turbographx Splatterhouse on the Wii , not sure if they still offer it but I remember only paying a few dollars for it.

[@TWebOnDrums]

Thanks for the activity pete. been watching for years

[@raiders34g]

Hey Pete will you ever do another episode of "sleeping with pete"? I really enjoyed it.

[@Jackhvac_R]

Yeah who wouldn't like sleeping with pete...like omggg

[@PeteDorr]

gabe riggs I was actually recording one about a week ago but the mic I usually use is finally dying. When it stopped working it crashed my audio recording program mid-recording. I think I found a decent temporary mic to use though until I buy another professional quality mic. So I expect I will have another episode out shortly.

[@raiders34g]

PeteDorr​ Awesome! Thanks for all the great videos.

[@dannyrubio1114]

great video, i just learned about truxton yesterday by looking up stuff on wikipedia. great to see the sequel in action and info about the marty!!!

[@ShopkeepMike]

Cool pickup Pete, I had never heard of this console until now. Truxton 2 and Splatterhouse look amazing on there, I have to say.

[@RetroGamePlayers]

Awesome, love the Splatterhouse comparisons!! That Marty has some RAD games!

[@The_Badcompany]

That's really kewl Pete. Thanks for sharing. I'd heard of the FM Towns Marty but I knew nothing about it til now.

[@jorgealves8319]

Great video! First time I've heard about this console and I was impressed by the quality of the games. Those big boxes are amazing!

[@PeteDorr]

Jorge Alves

[@CanadianRetro]

Hard to learn new things these days about retro stuff but this is a system I have never heard of and it seems like a real gem of a system with some really amazing titles. Please keep us updated and give us more info about this one. Cheers.

[@TylerTheDestroyer97]

Is the Splatterhouse cover raised? The way it looks makes it seem like it, but I'm not sure if it's just the light or not.

[@Lazyboy51]

good to see you uploading again, Pete!

[@OriginalBadRobotz]

ok. so tiger heli was a favorite nes game of mine. now I have to check out the arcade and fmtm ports! great video Pete!

[@AnthonyJRapino]

Holy God, that Splatterhouse release (even the box and art itself) is freakin' glorious!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@VampiresCrypt]

Pete ! You can play all oldschool Splatterhouse games in the Splatterouse remake for the Xbox 360 or PS3 !!

[@juddyyoutube]

Great video Pete! Please make another "games I've bought recently". Would love it. Have a good one

[@pjomayo]

Wow,You're correct Pete...I doubt many people knew about Tatsujin 2/Truxton 2. It looks fantastic on that system.

[@domi1989]

Great vid as usual. Always good to learn about a new console

[@TruuMUUU]

You're such a hidden gem, man. If expect you to have a million subs. Keep it up!

[@Ruko]

This is the kind of videos i subscribed for, never even knew the console.

[@elliotlawrence8062]

just watched a few of your videos, you have won a uk subscriber. great stuff keep it up

[@SoRa34524]

Do you use a voltage transformer for these older consoles imported from Japan? I imagine they would turn on and work fine for a while since its only 20V difference but with a price tag like that I would take every precaution.

[@TheLastLineLive]

That game cover art for Splatterhouse is so badass. Im curious as to how much it actually costed you though Pete? By the sounds of it, I bet you probably could have gotten at least the arcade board for Splatterhouse and a cheap cabinet to put it in for the price you spent on that weird console. And Truxton 2? I bet Lord Karnage will be paying you a visit soon.

[@NeoNyder]

Wow, I thought you were talking about Neo-Geo, when you brought up the FM towns marty I was mad impressed. I can't believe that it was considered a kiddie console since it had so many arcade perfect shmups,splatterhouse.

[@DJWIK]

you would probably be the first person to ever stream Marty games over Twitch. You should consider streaming splatterhouse on the original hardware. That would honestly be insane....

[@arioca]

Wiktor Biernacki Not really; check www.twitch.tv/amackert/b/674852487 Austin has been streaming many FM Towns Marty games (including Splatterhouse and Truxton II) on Twitch over the past few months.

[@PeteDorr]

arioca Awesome I will have to check that out sometime. Does he use CDR's or does he own the real software?

[@arioca]

PeteDorr I'm not sure if he has the games or CDRs but he's definitely playing them on a real FM Towns Marty console. I believe it's the exact same model 1 you have.

[@durgebh9487]

Thanks for sharing. I'd never heard of this console. Those game cases are massive!

[@user-xm7oj5xg7w]

Damn splatterhouse looks amazing, and has amazing sound!

[@KGB240]

This must be pretty rare because I've never even heard of it and I know about quite a few obscure game consoles. Nice video.

[@SilentMott]

Is CGR aware there's a Truxton sequel?!

[@empire0]

With a name like the FM Towns Marty, how could it have not been more popular.

[@dfernand101]

I vaguely remember this machine being mentioned back in the day.. It's almost like a legend.

[@DZR3WIND]

Mark from Classic Game room probably just jizzed his pants, when he heard Truxton 2. lol

[@TheUltimateMarioFan]

Hey Pete, check out "Emerald Dragon" for the FM Towns. It's a very obscure but excellent RPG and I believe the Towns version has exclusive FMVs. I've heard the Towns has the best version so I recommend you pick it up!

[@PeteDorr]

The Ultimate Mario Fan It may not be compatible with the Marty, not all FM Towns games are unless they came out prior to the release of Marty.

[@jackfry]

Please put out more videos Pete.

[@toonses4300]

jack fry Does Pete own a dragon?

[@kevpowful]

Isnt there a version of zak mac kracken. Best version if i remember right!?

[@vector1693]

I loved Splatterhouse on the Turbographix and I remember seeing this version in Die Hard Gamefan and I wanted a FM Towns Marty almost as much as I wanted a Neo Geo. I never got either of those consoles , too expensive.

[@breadordecide]

Whoa. Now this is some real gaming collecting right here. Awesome.

[@soaked23]

Pete your shelves in the background are bending like crazy!

[@KingTMD]

Do you have a link to the eBay ad? I couldn't find it

[@Serph732]

Awesome video Pete! It kind of looks like a super slim PS3

[@jonafish75]

Sorry if this has been asked previously, but what are the load times like on this console?

[@benw998]

Pete, do you have a Super Game Boy? And if not do you plan on buying one or showing one on your channel one day?

[@dave4shmups]

Pete-definitely check out the Marty version of Flying Shark/Sky Shark. I've seen some footage of it and it looks arcade perfect. It also has really great remixed music.

[@TheASMRGamer]

I am still surprised by the amount of consoles that there are!!! :')

[@retrogames_jp1404]

Nice video! Used to own 2 Martys myself but sold them off - still got an FMT II UX40 though. you sure about the kiddy image? I mainly collect FMT for all the adult titles xD

[@retrodarkgamer420]

werent most theese games on the sharp 68000 pc ??

[@VectrexRoli]

Interesting, didn´t know that there was a prequel to Novastorm.

[@turbografx7]

you have really peaked my interest in this system!

[@DEEdavE]

its not even its final form

[@Chubbys]

What is your pic from ? It looks very familiar

[@DEEdavE]

John Lee my pet monster. hes our mascot on our channel his name is steve

[@METALGEARZETTO]

+John Lee I believe you are thinking of Aaahh!!! Real Monsters?

[@TheAtariSan]

Was expecting the Apple/Bandai Pippin when you say ultra rare until you say it's the FM Town Marty which's pretty rare too, great finding. ^_^

[@layzee510]

Do you ever plan on purchasing a PC98?

[@bawitback]

Great console, shame it was never released overseas. Always was fascinated by it, I felt the same sentiment as you. Although the practicality of obtaining these games are not worth the struggle of searching. I am interested in buying your copy of Bulk Slash for Saturn if you are wish to sell it. thanks.

[@ManectricReturns]

You gotta tell us more about how you got this console man! Where on earth do you find one of these? How much was it / the games? (Although I notice you don't talk much about how much you buy things for)

[@Anthoneycfs]

Cool console Pete, when I read the title I was thinking about the apple pippin

[@Thegamingking89]

Cool video gamer dude!

[@twanbiz7252]

The pc engine version of splatterhouse is uncensored

[@raptorguts1800]

I'd really like to know why the hell they called it the FM Towns Marty. It's such an odd name for a console haha.

[@Antperson99]

what are your thoughts on amiibo?

[@cheekseeker4207]

3 videos in a week? What did you do with the real Pete!

[@kuroibuta]

Angel of Death Well he has over 100k subs so if he pumps out videos he can make some nice change now.

[@jessicaawad2578]

Holy shit man the case for splatter house is huge! It could prolly fit a neo geo game in there lol. Always on the hunt for rare stuff the coolest thing I found was a magnavox odyssey 2 in the box. For $80 with like 6 games in their boxes in amazing shape...almost shat my pants lol

[@MrBacchus18]

Great video, the Marty is better than I thought.

[@ArmVM]

Fmtowns had also a lot of japanese rpg classics like emerald dragon or dragon knight. It is to note that like any japanese computer from that era, a lot of games for the fmtowns contained hentai scenes as well.

[@JohnnyDeppFan1433]

That Genocide game looks incredible

[@JulesRoyal]

Mark from Classic Game Room would be pleased to know that Truxton has a sequel.

[@dave4shmups]

Awesome Pete! I would love to get a Marty!

[@RetroBritishGamerUK]

I've heard of it before but never looked into it much. It looks pretty awesome. Hope yours doesn't break down though as it sounds expensive .

[@billygowhoop]

I love systems where the boxes for the games are the size of webster's dictionary.

[@danholo]

Very nice pickup!

[@SamusAran1818]

I remember Splatterhouse for the Genesis :) That's one game I haven't heard of in years!!!

[@nononeko2503]

Does anyone know the value of a CIB Opened Pocket Monsters Yellow?

[@GraveMemories]

Go to price charting.com

[@nononeko2503]

Thanks! ^^

[@GraveMemories]

No problem man. Take care.

[@nononeko2503]

You too!

[@BurritoExplosian]

Awesome video dude! Long time viewer! Please do another Sleepin with Pete! :)

[@PeteDorr]

BurritoExplosian It's coming!

[@oogrooq]

the classic game room guy just autoerotically asphyxiated himself

[@YouPlayRetroGames]

Most of FM Towns games are a perfect conversion by arcade...really amazing console!

[@UltraPrimeHunter]

Can it play Knack?

[@oidoy4970]

what do you do for a living btw? curious

[@vidjenko8349]

how about the car marty?

[@retrodarkgamer420]

and just not ebay but retro gaming stores now base there prioces off of ebay too

[@VampiresCrypt]

Pete dude :D I managed to somehow make FM TOWNS/MARTY Emulator UNZ run properly and I even found a splatterhouse iso on doperoms. Do yourself a favor mate and play it on the PC you will have a blast xD I am also a retro guy and even have Resident Evil PowerVR and a Matrox M3D which were hell to obtain but I do have them and I love it :D But the Marty is already emulated optimal through UNZ so give it a go ;)

[@Parisiancollector]

Awesome video, loved it!

[@AsianTheDomination]

Mark from cgr has a truxton 2 arcade machine

[@gaminggod5249]

I have a complete collection for this boxed

[@xxkomebackkidxx]

My god that splatter house goes for $500+

[@russell56443]

Beyond Awesome Pete!!!!!

[@samikalastaja]

3:40 - holy shit this game looks cool. Also for hilarity he swings the butchers knife like a baseball bat and it sounds like he is hitting a ball.
