Title: Kevin McCallister got a Turbo Grafx 16 for Christmas!
Post by: EvilEvoIX on December 30, 2015, 04:42:56 AM
Found this little snippet and thought I'd share it. Pretty cool. Hit Movie and a TG-16, probably his best year ever.

Never thought i would say this to you, but... thanks for sharing!
I guess all those searches for 10 y/o boys finally paid off! :lol:
Actually my custom search engine was set 6YOB's MAX but somehow this older fellow snuck past my filters. I will have a chat with my NAMBLA web master after I get off work :roll:. Even IF I did ever go that old, I heard Michael busted him wide open so why bother :-$.

The kid had taste.... maybe. It plays out more like paid product placement than real interest.

It was definitely all downhill for him from there.

He even said so himself, better than Nintendo. Smart boy! Wonder if he'll start getting nostalgic for the system and start coming around here looking for some games :lol:

Maybe that's the true identity of Tool.

Just in case you were wondering how Kevin turned out as an adult.

This is the greatest thing you have ever done. Thank you. :)
I use to watch Arsenio Hall all the time, but I never ever ever never knew that TG-16 made an appearance. Damn.

I love seeing stuff like this. I wonder if his best friend Solomon is still a Turbo fan? Is he on these message boards? Has he found his key yet?

AND he lost Mila Kunis who put up with him for years...
EDIT: Pretty funny cameo he appeared in courtesy of Tats' OBEY FB channel.

I wonder what he thinks of it now? It's interesting that he was into SFC imports too, makes me wonder if he sampled any PC Engine stuff or even got the TG-CD attachment. His life is a bit of trainwreck, but it's really cool that he at least had one for a while. What other celeb endorsements do we have?
1. McCauley 2. Matthew Sweet 3. ???

Yeah, it's a short list of "celebrities"...to add to your list...

Ah, right, I have those two mags too. I forgot about those ones, unsurprisingly. I wasn't even sure what kind of sportsball the LA Kings played, honestly! Turns out its hockey, not something I know a lot about anyway. I remember Green Jelly from MTV back in the day but the one song I remember (something about the big bad wolf) didn't make it into my continuous Turbo Party Hits playlist. Though now it should.

This was very cool! Thanks for sharing. I will torture my wife with it before she subjects me to the anniversary edition of Home Alone that she got for Christmas.

Haha, I used to love GREEN JELLY as a kid back in the day. Pretty hurting endorsement, though, really. That was the best they could do? At least the Turbo Express showed up in ENEMY OF THE STATE.

That's great. I know it is only one line, but it is precious. Ha!
"Q: What else did you do as kids?
A: Sal: We also played video games like “Bonk.” “Bonk” (featuring a bald caveman) had a huge head and would smash bananas. I recently bought (the game system) on ebay for $52 so we could play again. It was called something like TurboGrafx-16."
I wonder if Bonk's Adventure and/or Bonk's Revenge was the top-seller for TG-16...
