Great pickups. That castlevania was an awesome find. Enjoy it Luke. I got your package today. I will be doing an unboxing video this week. Thanks again.

I almost fangasm'd when I saw that you managed to get your hands on Castlevania X68k. O_O DAMN you are lucky XD

Holy crap the packaging on these things is beautiful! I dont think ive ever seen more elaborate cases, aside from on the Odyssey II.

Very awesome finds. Cant wait for some video of that Castlevania.

Nice finds! Can't wait to see the X68000 in action, Luke. Definitely the Japanese computer I am most fascinated with. ...I can't believe you found Castlevania!

The boxes remind me a lot of the carriers you could buy to carry 10-12 floppy disks, back in the era where 5 1/4 floppy disks were king.

Awesome X68000 pick-ups, especially Castlevania.

I'm really interested in seeing some gameplay off that old system! I love the case design. I have to admit though, the shape Twinbee came in reminds me why I haven't gone back and started collecting 8-bit Atari computer titles like I wanted to. Floppies from that era are just so hard to find in good reliable shape now. Good luck man, really looking forward to a full walkthrough of the 68000.

Absolutely amazing. You go out and find a near mint copy of Castlevania at random. Make sure to get a Roland sound module and plug it into the midi port so you can play it with one of the 2 optional soundtracks.

Nice score Luke, that Akumajo Dracula X68k is awesome! I'm a huge Castlevania fan too and that one has wicked cover art. I've got Castlevania Chronicles and it's great but you must be really psyched to have the original. Hopefully you get one of your X68ks going soon, I want to see some gameplay!

man, I enjoy your pick up videos SOOOOO much.. thanks for these :3

Nice man, that castlevania looks amazing! The packaging for these games are really quite elaborate too! My personal favorite castlevania game would have to be super castlevania 4. Nice man, thanks!

Loving this X68000 series Luke!

Great games, have to check my Castlevania discs. Didnt know about that mould. Also mine is complete with discs instr. sticker and reg. card. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic pickups! Akumajou D., man, awesome!

All right, Back again Luke here. Every video without fail. xD

These X68000 videos are great!

Some of these games (Konami ones for sure) can be installed to the HDD.

Detana!! Twinbee! I love that game. I got for the Xbox 360 Game Room :D

Extremely nice Luke congrats and hope we can get some game play on these sometime.

Those game cases look really good!

Link's Awakening? You mean the Adventure of Link? Also DETANA AND CASTLEVANIA X68000!?! AWESOMENESS!!!! Space Harrier is also cool.

@lukemorse1 those 5,25 discs will last a life-time if handled correctly. my discs i had since the 80's for my C64 still works like a charm.

Moldy floppies I'll be darned. Big computer game boxes, some things are the same regardless of region lol. Tried 720p but still can't see the film but I'll take your word for it. Perhaps x68000 stuff wouldn't be so rare if people had taken better care yikes, I hope everything works in the end. Castlevania looks awesome and sounds like it will work without trouble so worth biting that bullet. Great pickups, I'm so looking forward to see everything up and running. :)

I remember playing dragon buster in the arcade it's very fun and I have it on a namco collection for psx.

Wow I wonder how these discs hold up. I had the chance to buy a complete system including a monitor a while ago but declined because I was afraid the discs would be dead. Looking forward to seeing some footage of the X68000 in action. I regard it as some sort of mystical Japanese Amiga....

great find bro!

awesome game pick ups buddy =)

Awesome stuff ...thanks for sharing !

i wish i had a x68000 and acamonjou dracula

Old magnetic media get that mildew, moldy crap. Happens to VHS's too. It don't necessarily mean the disk wont work.

I cant wait for you to fire up that X68000 castlevania real nice find and rare I have a copy that I picked up back in like 95 paid about 60 bucks for it.

i love my sharp x68000 i got mine with these games mr do vs unicorns fantasy zone super street fighter 2 final fight xevious digdug castlevania and salamander for 100 bucks

If they don't work Luke, I wrote a batch file that will properly reformat the disks so you can re-write the games.

dude Luke! your awesome buddy! i love the vids keep it up!

Have you ever heard of Thunder Force 2? its a game originally for the 68000 which gained popularity on a butcherd port for the mega drive. its a really fun shmup, highly reccomended. anyway, looks like a cool computer!

Hi! lukemorse1 I was a test player of the dragon buster of X68000 Version.

I always learn something new with you luke. that machine never went out of japan right?

Ah. I have Dragon Buster II for Famicom. It's a pretty interesting but difficult game. Does Simon Belont have red hair in the original X68000 version?

Awesome pick ups!! What causes that dirt or mold to form on those floppies? Just age?

Cool you were able to get that rare Castlevania game. What is the last Castlevania game you need? Probably something crazy

Hopefully you will get a Roland with it playing! I did get mine with an emulator.

hmmmm.... Some pretty sweet titles. I should have asked this in the other video. Is this a dedicated game system or is it a console/computer? Sorry I am ignorant about the whole thing...lol

Nice Luke! =D I have played the arcade version of Dragon Buster on the Namco collection on PS1, never actually played Space Harrier before....I know....I really have to =P ahhh yes, pardon my French but Twin Bee is FUCKING AWESOME! whoa! you're shitting me! =O as with the others it seems that the Castlevania games are waaay expensive in Japan! That x68000 pick up is totally amazing man, I am super super jealous =D Take it easy Luke, and happy gaming! Dan.

By the way, Space Harrier is 15KHz only!

You should play the X68k version of Thunder Force II. Quite a unique shmup there =D

first thing i would be trying to do with that damaged one is to make a copy.

Wow! Twin Bee Gameplay would be super cool, but you already know that :) Hint Hint!!! ...OMFG! I change my mind! Lets see some Castlevania!! Heck Yeah! Did you ever play 1-3? ;)

Can you do a gameplay video of the Castlevania game one of these days? It sounds interesting.

Yay! Twinbee and Castlevania! What does 出たな mean anyway?

The x68k is just a arcade machine in a box :-)

Did you ever get those 33uf caps I sent you Luke? Hope they got to you ok and help you with some PC Engine GT repairs :)

Alright! Back again Valkiris here. As always, I'll put up another comment here soon! :D

love those packagings. why cant some of the more modern games be like that. i dont know if you ahve ever seen european sega saturn games... but that shit sucks

Any advice for the self eject problems for some games? Cause most games with mono coloured label just self ejects and not loading at all,but when i tried the games with coloured labels from my friend's do works,so what will cause the problem?

Can you easily dub your own X68000 discs if you have a blank 5.25 floppy? Can you do it on the X68k itself? Also can you put them onto sturdier 3.25"?

Do you play many recent games Luke?

@lukemorse1 have you seen Strider and Final Fight? They're practically arcade perfect. This machine would have absolutely blown people away here in the States. Also, check this out. It's an x68000 game called Geograph Seal made by the developers of Jumping Flash. /watch?v=qca_bXtxIe4

Can you use those games on the computer if you have the drive

do you have the castlevania titles for the DS?

how do you save the games? trough the hard drive?

around 400-500$ now ^^

Will you be picking up some of the..."other" titles this system is known for? :P
