Title: European Turbo Grafx cap

It's on Ebay. It is a cap for the European Turbo Grafx. Quite the interesting promotional item for sure.

Aside from technical justifications for either labeling the PCE/TG 8/16-bit, it doesn't even quite sound right saying 16-bits. (though grammatically speaking, I suppose that's okay. :-k)

Should be blue, but having only two colors (black and red) is way way cheaper than three colors in producing that cap.

Please tell me you won it! If I had seen this sooner, and you hadn't bid already, I would have gone for it. :)
