Title: Just saying hello
Post by: Dicer on February 05, 2014, 10:00:37 AM: Hi there :)

Finally got around to getting myself added here, after a long hiatus I got the Turbo bug again, and I wan't to rebuild what was once a great collection.

I once owned a Duo with a collection of about 250 games between us and japan. I wrote a short lived fanzine "Duo Dimensions" and I even talked to the fine folks at T.T.I and Vic Ireland back in the day, those were great times indeed.

Prices these days seem to be a bit crazy but with a bit of patience and time and some luck, I can restore my collection back to it's former glory...

I have some turbo stickers I'll be giving away in the future, I hope people will enjoy them :)

Cheers

"If you haven't got your health..."...you can't obey.

You have the right mindset, "patience and time and some luck". Stuff is 20 years old, waiting a week, month or year to re-acquire goodies will not hurt.

Looking forward to your tales of the Turbo front from your tour of duty, sounds like you got some stories.

It would be interesting to see some scans of your "Duo Dimensions" fanzine.

In the process of still unpacking from moving and stuff, once I get my things out, I'll scan em up

I would also really like to see your fanzine. I love it when people show their love for something by creating something to honor it.

Welcome!

I find slowly buying games gives you the time to appreciate them before buying more.

I do second the scanning of those yellow stickers. They look really cool, like they've got a foil or shiny surface to them?
