FM-Towns Marty II console and games

[Calavera]

Hi guys,

here I have a very rare console for sale...

FM-Towns Marty 2 in very good overall condition!

The CD-Rom works perfectly.

One issue to mention is the floppy-disc-drive which reads discs only from time to time... I was able to format a complete disc and write/read some save-games - but always needed many tries for it - sometimes it didn´t work at all... The drive-belt was replaced by a rubber-belt which fits very well - I don´t now what´s the problem with the drive...

Other then that the console works perfectly! and has no bigger scratches or hard signs of use (of course it´s not new and is a used item!!!)

The console ONLY was availible in Japan and has some very, very nice LucasFilm and Arcade games for it! For example:
- Zak McKracken
- Loom
- Indiana Jones 3 and 4
- Truxton 2
- Flying Shark
- Raiden
- Splatterhouse
- Chase H.Q.
- etc, etc.

Price for console including game-pad and power cable is 260,- EUR + PayPal + shipping - SOLD

Next to the console I have some games for sale too... These are:

Loom by LucasFilm-Games - 300,- EUR
Sim City - 50,- EUR
Dungeon Master - 50,- EUR
Microcosm - 30,- EUR - SOLD
Each Price is + PayPal and shipping... (these - of course - can be combined!) You can see everything what is included at the pictures...

Kind regards
Calavera

What's the postage costs for the console to the UK matey?

 

[Calavera]

Hi mate,

I can send international with Hermes - to UK it would be 18,90 EUR for insured and tracked shipping.

This one doesnt come often on Amibay and grab it before it gone!

Surely doesn't. An FM Towns is one of those consoles that I really want, but always seem slightly out of reach. If only the Marty had RGB I think I'd be all over this.

Hey Calavera, that Dungeon Master is english text, right?

 

[Calavera]

At dungeon master you can choose the language from a bootmenue which apears automaticly when you start the game... It´s the same with 90% of all western FM-Towns/Marty games which are textbased (at Loom of course too!).

RGB would be fine - but belive me - the S-Video signal is fine too! I never missed anything - it´s really a nice System (I only sell it because I just have another one which I got together with a game I really, really wanted ) The big plus on the marty is, that you can easily plug it to any TV and play the games sitting on your couch...

For myself I like the arcade ports which are availible for the system most (next to the LucasFilm Games of course!). As for example there are

Truxton 2
Flying Shark
Twin Cobra
Raiden
Splatterhouse
BubbleBobble
Rainbow Island
NewZealand Story
Marble Madness
Chase H.Q.
and many more...

Most are 1:1 (or very close to that!) ports of the arcade original you can´t find on any other system in this quality... and all run perfectly on the marty!

Looking to the LucasFilm games - especially Zak McKracken, Indy 3 and Loom are by far the best versions ever released! You definately should check youtube in this point! Zak for example has a complete superior graphic compared to PC or Amiga - not to talk about the Sound! Indy 3 and Loom are far superior when it comes to that - and again... all of them run perfectly on the marty

Cheers!

Interested in the console. I'll probably have it sent to the UK if I get the chance to purchase it but could you also give me a postage quote for Ireland?

Do you know if the floppy drive can be replaced with a HxC if it can't be repaired? I see on the website it supports the FM Towns II http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/

 

[Calavera]

Shipping to Ireland will be the same as for UK - 18,90 EUR...

If the floppy emulator will work I don´t know - sorry! but sounds good!

Great. Not sure where I am in the list? I think I am first to officially declare interest? Obviously I don't want to step on any toes though

Sorry one last question. What are the dimensions of the console? I like to put my favourite (and most awkward fitting (Mega CD)) consoles on display in my cabinet lol.

Calavera could you put up some images of Dungeon Master?

Edit: Nevermind oh:

How well does it control with the controller? I imagine not having a mouse is a bit cumbersome?

 

[sir_beaker]

@Calavera - Brilliant, thanks

@BluesBrothers - yeah, it's a lovely little machine I am just gutted that the CPC 664 is too large for it. I really need to find a nice case for it as I am having kittens that it's too exposed where it is

Cdr

Cdr

These machines can play CD-R.

 

[sir_beaker]

That's brilliant news, thanks I am sure I'll burn a few games until I can get around to affording them

 

[Calavera]

@slk - hmm I have to try it as I always used the keyboard... a mouse should fit too - but only controller... I have to try
