It's been a long time since I posted here. Things have been hectic in my life and things happened that decimated most of my gaming collection. The TurboGrafx 16 being the main one that killed me. It will mess with your sense of security and safety in your own home. It sucks. I was going to bow out of the Retro scene all together. However, some of you got together and dangled the carrot in front of me to keep me here. I received a PC Engine Duo system and the hook ups in the mail. Mainly from majors and 780Racer. I'm sure that they are not the only ones to have anything to do with this. I "GREATLY" appreciate it so much. I am embarrassed because I can't pay you all back from your generosity and kindness. I was asked to make a video of the unboxing, which was done. As soon as I get it uploaded to Photobucket, I'll try and dump the link here and have the vid live on the site. Sorry if I look funky to any of you...lol. Point being is that, I could never say thank you to you guys enough and you almost moved me to tears. I appreciate it so much and you guys are so amazing. If the Jaguar community and the Neo-Geo community could learn some things from this group of people right here, there would be so much more awesomeness in the retro gaming world. You guys are so awesome and thank you again.
EDIT: Video was uploaded to Youtube. The link is below, and thanks again all.

I was literally unaware of this until today, it's nice to see people pull together to help on of their own out...
Nice work folks, you are a good bunch...mostly ;)
-
Now to find some games...lol
And thanks Null. If you had anything to do with this, you rock.

Hardly anything compared to 780 and majors, but when 780 told me the news I wanted to pitch in in some capacity. You may not be a 'philer but you a bro, bro! :D
Hey Null, you and I have always been cool. I like you, anyway...lol
-
yeah, good on them for helping get something together. I meant to pitch in and got side tracked as usual
AND FORGOT ABOUT THE DAMN CHATROOM BECAUSE IT'S NOT ATTACHED TO THE FORUM
anyway, if you don't have an Everdrive situation sorted out, let me know because I can try and grab one at CCAG in about a month. They always have them there, and since I am in there before it starts, I can snipe one right when the show starts before they sell out.

Same here.
Every time humanity gives me a reason to loathe our species (people with 37 items in the express lane), it gives me another one to feel good about being a part of it.

I don't know what exactly has happened but reading stuff like this is awesome. Great community here :clap:
-
Awesome guys. Stories that motivate

It pains me to type this, and I am sorry, T2KFreeker, but our feud will continue.
I just don't think we can co-exist on this planet, let alone a forum about TG-16./PCE.
STATUS: Not particularly good.
ALSO: Godspeed, comrade. :)

Didn't even know there was a chatroom. lol TK, what other games are you looking for? PM me and I can give you some freebies.

I am looking for anything. ALL of my games except for Mysterious Song and the signed Aetherbyte games were stolen because I had them in a different place.
If I had to pick some that I am particularly missing though, the Ys games, US versions because I couldn't ever play the Japanese releases, Street Fighter II and my Ave. Pad 6's, Legendary Axe II, Ninja Spirit, Splatterhouse, Super Star Soldier, Bonk's Adventure, Riot Zone, Gate of Thunder, Dracula X (Wishful thinking here...lol). All amazing and I'm pissy about them being gone. Seriously though, I'm cool with anything and appreciate the kindness. You all are so awesome. Only thing I ask is please no US Hueys because it's a Japanese system. :P

I know Este, we shall burn down the village and damn all of those that get in our way of vengeance!
ROFLMAO!!!! You coo!

PM me your info, I've got a Street Fighter II for you.

Dude I feel your pain as I had around 50 tg-16/pc-engine loosies taken from me not long ago. What kept me going gaming wise was a few peeps that have been good to me up here/a fear of going back to current generation games and still having nice systems to play OBEY on/EverDrive. I don't post alot but hearing this makes me proud to be on these forums! Samual

I posted a link to the video in the first post. I hope you all get a kick out of me...lol

With the DuoTap, even the feline could join in a round of Bomberman.
Affix a ball of catnip to the I and II buttons.

Hey Raven, glad you are still here too. Can't wait to check out that comic...
-
I am glad that things are starting to look up for you :)

This is very cool. It's great both that people got together to help a community member out and that a Turbo/PCE fan who will genuinely appreciate it gets to play games on real hardware.

Damn straight

Hope you are enjoying SFII my man.
