Title: What i traded to get my TurboDuo....
Post by: Sparky on April 06, 2010, 08:57:30 AM

i was cleaning up my MAC today and a came across a picture of a system i had traded to a guy to get my Turbo Duo like 5ish years ago :)

(http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x114/sparkss_photo/IMG_1845.jpg)

I got this from a guy i know at work, this Genny model 1 with a floppy drive backup.... it looked so f*cked i had to have it.!!!

This backup was some Japanese item he some how managed to get for his kids to backup blockbuster genny rentals back in the day.:P
The backup still worked perfectly recording carts onto a floppy and then playing them back. He gave me a dirty stack of games as well that all worked!

Anyway thought i would share, Have not seen another 1 of these for a genny and it made me smile when i saw it again.... such an odd looking genesis add on but it worked and served a purpose back in the day.

i was going to keep it but the duo is hot sex to me and i could not resist the trade when it came up.

Sweet.  It's like Darth Vader's chest plate is humping a Genny.  8)

I've never seen that before. Awesome.

Sparky, you should have kept that badboy and bought a DUO a few months later, with cold, hard $$$.

That's pretty darn cool.  I can't make out what it says on the top of the box.  Does it say Mega Disk?

Sparky, that is AWESOME. And you traded that away!?!? Man, I would have just kept it (and saved up for a Duo).

I've never seen anything like that before.  Man, a floppy on a Gen.  Crazy.
