Title: Going for a complete NA TG16 set! who has one?
Post by: Mighty on October 18, 2016, 06:46:59 AM
I'm going for a complete NA TG16 set. Who here already has one? got any pictures? I want to see what the full set looks like.
:P

I have four or five so far and am working on another. I don't take pics, though, as only unboxing videos make my peepee hard.

I have no idea what I've done wrong to have my thread in the trade forum locked. I was just asking to buy TG16 games, on a TG16 forum, in the right forum section. I reread the post I can't see a single thing wrong with it. Hopefully I can make another one in the future that won't be locked.

sounds like DQ187 (or whatever it is) or jonbonn (or whatever it is) to me. couple of lulz though. the line about "in the right section" kind of gives it away as a troll account. people wouldnt realize they get crap for that if they havent been around.

Other than you being an obvious troll, there's nothing particularly wrong with it; it was locked because you asked everyone to stay on topic, and that was never going to happen.
If everyone stayed strictly on topic, you'd end up with a bunch of replies saying "PM sent!", and what purpose does that serve?
Hopefully I can make another one in the future that won't be locked.
One is enough. It serves its purpose just fine.

I do not collect inferior US games and only stick to the PC (Engine) master race. My PC Engine set is complete except for the fact I've never been able to locate mint enough copies of F1-Race and Sadakichi Seven.

I don't understand why people on here are being so hostile.
What's wrong with wanting a full set of games? What's wrong with wanting to see a picture of a full collection on shelves? I don't know much yet about the system but I'm interested and want to learn more about collecting for it. I thought a dedicated TG16 forum would encourage new collectors, not attack them.

That might be the problem. Don't need to have them in your hands and up your butt to learn about them. You sound like you have way too much money to burn and not enough sense. :3

Where did you learn about turbo grafx? What makes you interested in them?
I was born in 1996 so I'm too young to have been around for the time of the NES (and TG16), but for some reason I like those consoles. I like the look of full set NA retro games collections, I think they look really cool on display in a game room and I've always liked rare or valuable things whether it's video games, comic books or baseball cards. I was collecting NES games and kept hearing about TG16 on Youtube retro games channels and as I looked into it I found out that it's even more elite to have a full NA TG16 set and the total amount of games in the set is much lower than NES so should be easier to achieve. Also I would like to start my own Youtube show and think it would look cool if I had a full set of TG16 in the background.

Sounds like you would be even happier with Neo Geo AES. It is more elite than TG16 and the carts look much better.

Why do you not answer my PM's? I want to sell you games at great price!
I only just noticed I have new private messages. On other forums you normally have a pop up window alerting you of new messages. I would of happily done business with you until you posted that picture, clearly you are not serious.
Well it looks like nobody on here actually does have a full set and is this meant to be the main TG16 forum on the internet?? On Nintendo forums loads of members have full sets.

Comrade, I think you mean well, but you stumbled with your introduction. It was unintentional, and misfortunate.
You see, this forum is mostly focused on playing games.
Sure, nearly all of us have stupid libraries of plastic, but we don't (usually) brag about it.
That said, just look around and you will find a thread of braggarts showing off (or I am just jealous of all the neat stuff other folks have?).
BEST ADVICE: Talk to us about your thoughts on TG-16/PCE games, or the music, or something. You don't have to be an expert. Just have fun playing some games.
:)

I heard there is a cheap CIB Magical Chase on ebay, would be a good start to your CIB set.

Not helping your cause.
A lot of us here are veterans of the 8 and 16 bit wars, we still hold a lot of resentment for what nintendo did. Get a flash card, burn some ISO's and play some games. Turbo shit is almost 30 years old, no rush to catch'em all pokemon style(in words you'd understand).
Oh, and WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

Where are the turricant raffle entry requests?! Collecturd flames? Brought to you by Duophools?! I feel like there should be a more rabid response to either this troll trying to stir up passionate debate, or a honest to goodness collector looking to talk with other collectors about their collective habits of collecting collections.
I almost wonder if there is a stickied post on Nintendo Age that promotes PCEFX as the place where everyone goes to collectively collect collections. I would assume that this board's reputation was for community discussions of gameplay, development of new homebrew, and flaming the shit out of people; not a place to go to buy things and talk about collection.
I do have a full set collection though, and it's sealed. I've found the best thing to seal the games with is a SD card. It looks very nice in my everdrive, which looks excellent in my duo, and that is just gorgeous on my coffee table next to my beer. A very good investment.

OP you're like the bot accounts on Tinder that say shit like "Do have daddy issues, don't have a gag reflex." You're being way too obvious. The next time you create a troll account here, try to be more subtle and maybe you'll get a few people to play along for a while.

I actually signed up for Nintendo Age a few years ago. I was just starting to get back into these old systems. It was my first time on a gaming forum, and I just didn't have anything to say. The marketplace rules the forum. The only conversation is about who owns what game and how much it goes for.
