Title: another self intro
Post by: lukin3 on January 17, 2014, 03:08:00 PM
hello, thanks for letting me join this site.  My name is Tony, and I've had my TurboGrafx since it first came out.  i started watching Spida's youtube page about a year ago and decided to blow the dust off my own collection.  i only had about 10 games, as the town i grew up in was small and the store i originally bought it from quickly stopped carrying it.  the closest Toys R Us was about 45 min away, so i then bought the Genesis.  but I always thought the TurboGrafx was just cooler and more unique than the Genesis.  anyways, i am up to about 40 games now and recently found your site.  glad to see this system is finally appreciated the way i always thought it should be.  i was literally the only person i knew in my high school that had one of these back in the day. 
anyways, love the site and i will be a frequent visitor.

so here's the collection so far.  just picked up Jackie chan (instructions but not real case), Dragon's curse complete, Ordyne (case but no instructions), and Pac-Land complete this week at local used video game store for $60.  I thought that was pretty good, and i was just surprised because nobody has TurboGrafx games around here (Tampa, FL)
I have Klax, Bloody Wolf, Blazing Lazers, and Andre Panza all complete coming from a cool seller on Ebay that made me a deal. 
also ordered loose copies of Yo Bro and JJ and Jeff as well.
got a few japanese games that my brother found cheap at a store in NYC although i don't have a converter and i have It came from the Desert and don't have a Duo or CD attachment, but hopefully will one day.
it does get a little addictive, but i'm trying to find bargains and i know i will never have all of them.

Welcome lukin3,

Dude, this is a great start to TG-16. I always encourage folks to keep things simple and cheap. It's nice, I think, to start with TG-16 hardware.

A fellow member has a very low-cost way to play imports on TG-16 (Chopsado), and yet another member will (hopefully) have a mass-produced, easily-accessible implementation of it very soon:

TurboPoser: http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=15866

Later, when you know you want to dive into CD games, you will get (probably) a Japanese DUO.

So, enjoy TG-16 today.  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
