Title: And I’m back in the game!!!!
Post by: jordan_hillman on January 20, 2018, 09:08:28 AM: Picked all of this up at Retro City Fest, in Pomona, California, today! I had to part ways with my Turbo collection a couple of years back to help pay for grad school. I’m beyond stoked right now!!!!

Post by: MNKyDeth on January 20, 2018, 09:51:37 AM: All four games are good ones imo.

The boxed US Duo prolly cost a small fortune if there is a console in it.

Grats on the games and gear. Hopefully it's been fully recapped.

Did you own these games before? Are you familiar with them or are they new to you? Let us know how it goes with them and if you enjoy them or not.

I vaguely remember Mr. Hillman’s moniker so it can’t be too long ago that he BETRAYED and DESERTED US.

What are the teams of choice? Do I need to start a thread for us minorities to congregate in?

Points off well deserved! Those two beasts are absolutely on the top of my buy list! :D

That's a pretty good re-start! Dare I ask how much you paid??

Of course! I did a couple of crazy trades!

I traded Hagane, Mega Man X3, Mega Man X2, and $80 cash for the turbo duo console, all cords, turbo pad, the Gate of Thunder 4-in-1 disk (no manuals :cry:), and the long box version of Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game on PSOne lol.

Huge bonuses: the box and console have matching serial numbers, and the box came with the original styrofoam inserts and console manual! :D

For Air Zonk, Devil's Crush, Blazing Lazers, and Dungeon Explorer, I traded Pocky Rocky 1 and 2.

So all-in-all, I traded five heavies, that I've had for years and years that I never play, to get back in the Turbo game! :lol:

OBEY!!!

What a beautiful tale. Coming in hot through the heavy weight division, nice!

Title: Re: And I’m back in the game!!!!
Post by: seieienbu on January 24, 2018, 07:43:07 AM: That sounds like some pretty fair trading for both parties. I wish you many hours of joy to come from your Turbo.

Sorry it took me a bit to respond! I'm totally familiar with each game, and Devil's Crush and Blazing Lazers are two of my absolute favorite games, on any system :D

It took me forever to find the pictures of my old collection, but alas!

I couldn't find any pictures :cry:, but I also had Dungeon Explorer II (U.S. version) CIC. My system set up was a U.S. TG-16 with C.D. attachment. I also had the U.S. Super System Card (no manual, but original case) and the original carrying case!

I'll probably never own most of these titles again, especially with today's prices for games. But I absolutely plan on picking up TV Sports Hockey, Hit the Ice, China Warrior, Deep Blue (yes those last two are serious lol), Military Madness, Ninja Spirit, and Last Alert.
