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

[@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]

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

[@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

[@TheAgonistfan]

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

[@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;;!!

[@DZR3WIND]

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

[@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.

[@SilentMott]

Is CGR aware there's a Truxton sequel?!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@irishdeano92]

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

[@user-xm7oj5xg7w]

Damn splatterhouse looks amazing, and has amazing sound!

[@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.

[@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

[@danjaker5883]

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@pjomayo]

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

[@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.

[@empire0]

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

[@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.

[@TWebOnDrums]

Thanks for the activity pete. been watching for years

[@RetroGamePlayers]

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

[@AnthonyJRapino]

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

[@Ruko]

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

[@dfernand101]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@breadordecide]

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

[@miniwarmonger788]

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

[@TruuMUUU]

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

[@juddyyoutube]

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

[@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.

[@durgebh9487]

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

[@VampiresCrypt]

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

[@elliotlawrence8062]

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

[@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.

[@Lazyboy51]

good to see you uploading again, Pete!

[@domi1989]

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

[@TheASMRGamer]

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

[@soaked23]

Pete your shelves in the background are bending like crazy!

[@SamusAran1818]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@YouPlayRetroGames]

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

[@billygowhoop]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@turbografx7]

you have really peaked my interest in this system!

[@Anthoneycfs]

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

[@JulesRoyal]

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

[@Serph732]

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

[@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. ^_^

[@jackfry]

Please put out more videos Pete.

[@toonses4300]

jack fry Does Pete own a dragon?

[@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

[@oogrooq]

the classic game room guy just autoerotically asphyxiated himself

[@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.

[@JohnnyDeppFan1433]

That Genocide game looks incredible

[@deaditefuckgirl]

I've always wanted one but I had no idea what games to get for it. Now it's really on my list! Tatsujin O? Yes, please.

[@dave4shmups]

Awesome Pete! I would love to get a Marty!

[@BurritoExplosian]

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

[@PeteDorr]

BurritoExplosian It's coming!

[@TheCompletionist]

In a good way I'm glad I'm not into collecting imports because regardless of how rare or high demand some north american items are, I'm sure the obscurity of japanese only items have the tendency to be even more demanding if and when they ever hit the market. Still for people who love to collect imports they would certainly love to have this especially for a system that has some perfect arcade ports and even for some games that never had the luxury of seeing a release for any other system. The best thing I can say is play and enjoy it to your hearts extent.

[@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.

[@Thegamingking89]

Cool video gamer dude!

[@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.

[@SkylerB]

i always love the games you show off but damn this system i never heard of it i love that xD

[@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.

[@thomasstodghilliv]

I've never heard of the FM Towns Marty: it must be that rare, lol. Very interesting console, nonetheless.

[@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 ;)

[@haggard101]

nice pick up! really enjoying your vids btw. just subbed yesterday :)

[@PeteDorr]

Simon Handleigh Thanks I appreciate it :)

[@haggard101]

PeteDorr no worries! been catching up on your older vids.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 .

[@danholo]

Very nice pickup!

[@russell56443]

Beyond Awesome Pete!!!!!

[@Parisiancollector]

Awesome video, loved it!

[@Akuzastar]

I knew there was a truxton 2, as I have the top score on it at a local arcade, but I'm gathering all these games and system cost you close to $1000 ? That's a lot man, as much as I love truxton and splatter house I'll do fine with arcade versions or home versions for splatter house

[@VectrexRoli]

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

[@Hydroy]

That genocide 2 game looks soo awesome i love the music 😃

[@brandonbrimer6554]

Congrats on the Marty; on an unrelated topic- can I smell your fingers?

[@sonicsega1699]

man, mark from classic gameroom would lose all common sense if he knew there was a truxton 2

[@Zoidberg412]

I work at a GameStop and we no longer keep DS cases and are instructed to throw them away if someone brings in a DS game to trade. I'd be happy to start setting some of them aside instead of tossing them (usually I let the customers know what will happen with the case before just tossing it to see if they want it) if you would send me a list of cases that you're looking for. I don't know how particular you are but if your goal is to just have a complete box and game (and not necessarily have that game be the one that came in that particular box), then this could be a good way to bolster your collection. Because I like your videos (also I'm pretty sure I'd be violating some company policy if I tried to make a profit off of this) I'd only ask for help in the cost of shipping. I really enjoy your profile pieces, will be using your eBay tips to work on my Ultimate Spider-Man collection, and you're the reason why I pulled the trigger on the 3DS Ghost Recon. Keep making great content!

[@williamburgoon1834]

wow that thing is bigger then I thought and i didnt even though that console even had games lol. How many of them were made. I read about a lot of consoles and I really don't know anyone that has fm towns marty games. Awesome video though

[@oftheabyss3219]

I love there cases and cover art

[@iTouchin]

It's so strange how similarly it looks to the fat PS3 haha. It's like if the PS3 was brought out in 1991 this is exactly what it would like. It even resembles the price tag! Haha. Great find.

[@travisschaefer7850]

That's awesome dude!

[@sgamer-xc1bd]

You need to get the FM Towns versions of LucasArts adventure games, some of them are the best versions available and one of the biggest reasons to buy this system. That is if you can afford them :D

[@PeteDorr]

90sgamer92Eng Very expensive games, and I would need to track down a mouse first too.

[@jonafish75]

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

[@BotzaBrand]

Good shit Pete. I think the port of Splatterhouse 3 on the 360/PS3 was the worst due to the cut scenes.

[@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?

[@drclaw411]

Nice find!!!
