Title: Just completed my Turbografx-16 Collection!
Post by: DesmondThe3rd on December 28, 2012, 01:08:44 AM
Hey there fellow Turbo fans! I finally got the last game I needed for my TG-16/Duo collection and I thought I would show it off in a video here. It wasn't easy nor cheap but it was so worth it.

You are one awesome super happy dude and I like that! I'm so impressed with everything you you got going on in that room of yours .. It's truly inspiring and makes me even more proud to be a Turbo dude also .. That Air Zonk champ belt is so freaking awesome! Great collection, great enthusiasm and a giant congratulations on completing your Tg16 collection :clap: !!

It is refreshing to see someone generally enthusiastic and happy about the stuff for a change. Ends up far far less a bragging video and more of one of general excitement and celebration which people can relate to.

Congrats man! Btw I noticed your wrestling belt with the Zonk theme. This is the same type of belt the WWE/F used for the tag team champions when Ax and Smash from Demolition had them in the '90s! Too cool! Can you shed some light on this? Got any pics?
Ha! Does anyone here have a complete PCE set? I know Tats was pretty close...

"I'm just ramblin' on at this point..."
Ha! I watched the video with envy in my heart and jealousy in my mind: I WILL HAVE YOUR COPY OF GUNBOAT. I PROMISE YOU.
I will.
Congratulations, comrade.

Since you did so many reviews and videos, I assumed that you already had a complete collection. Congratulations! I only need 1 more title to complete my collection.

Congratulations on completing the set!
What game is it at 5:02 that you briefly point out as being rare/expensive?
Have you ever considered purchasing some TG-16 box protectors (http://www.videogameboxprotectors.com/store/4569532134)? I picked some up a couple of months ago, and they make my box collection look great!

That game is Soldier Blade Special Edition. It's one of those cards used only for gaming competitions and were never meant to be sold in stores. I was thinking of picking some of those ups.

I've seen a little information about these but most websites don't seem to include them in their list. - GameFAQS and PCEngine.com

It was a pretty good video. I truly appreciate the genuine humility and enthusiasm you've displayed, Des. Some here (they know who they are) come here flaunting and bragging about their haul in a very pompous way but there is NO DOUBT you truly love the Turbobs and this is what makes this forum awesome. Much respect, Sir!

Des was bragging, but it was like listening to a six-year-old kid bragging. Kind of endearing. Or maybe Canadians aren't as pompous. Anyway, if one can be congratulated on spending money, congrats. DH is a great game.

/\ This /\. A lot of the time when you see videos like this pop up its more about the person just rubbing some lucky grab in peoples faces more then anything, and you can just tell it's going to be placed on a shelf, sit for a few months or a year, then be resold for profit more likely then not.

Yeah, I didn't want to be like one of those guys on Youtube that just makes a particle video showing off a rare game they got recently and then say how cheap they got for just to proof what a big shot they are. I had a 13 year mission to find them all and this was the conclusion to that quest and paying 350 isn't exactly bragging too much (well, many a little) since it's still a ton of money, eh? In the end I wanted to experience everything Turbografx both the good and the bad and thankfully Dynastic Hero is a pretty decent game so far and there's no way I'm reselling it.

Superb! Congrats on finding DH. I was thinking it would be DH or Terraforming.
By the way - Awesome to see my poster hanging in your room too - I don't even have mine hanging up. LOL
Punkic - it wasn't me with a complete PCE collection - that must be Thibaut.

Congratulations on completing your collection!
Out of curiosity, how much do you think you spent over the years?

Post by: KillScreenGames on December 29, 2012, 08:26:45 AM
Congrats! Like most have said so far, this was actually a collection video I wanted to watch til the end. You seem like a cool guy and am glad you did it! 13 years though, damn! I've got a ways to go.
I'm glad to see someone else shadow box when they get new games lol

It's hard to remember every transaction but I believe it would be around 2 grand in total.
Does that include shipping, exchange rate and taxes?
I keep tabs on all my spending and I include everything so my list looks really expensive to some people's list who only include actual purchase price.

It's really hard to say since I got all my games in several different ways like: presents from family members when I was a kid, others I got myself at my local game store that went out of business years ago, some I got trades at swap meets, some I got from places out of town, and as a last resort I went to eBay for the tougher ones so it's hard to pinpoint all the expenses.

Have you been playing the Girly Games non-stop?

Post by: DesmondThe3rd on December 31, 2012, 02:33:28 AM
I don't think Dynastic Hero is too girly but it's definitely easy so far.
I think he's referring to Local Girls of Hawaii, Hawiian Island Girls and Bikini Girls. Some people consider them part of a full collection, some don't.
