Title: Just wanted to give an official shout out to everyone again
Post by: turbokon on February 28, 2011, 09:00:45 AM

Hello guys, it's been awhile, almost two years since I last logged into the forum due to what we call life. I've only been checking up on things here just the last couple of weeks or so and now just want to official say hello again.   Some of you might remember me.  I did a few mods for members here and even had a mis understanding with a former member here... Anyway that's all in past and now a little bit about me, I was born in Cambodia and my family immigrate to the states when I was five where we settled in Kansas and have lived here ever since.  We got our turbografx 16 system back in christmas of 1991. I was hooked right away from the moment we popped in Keith Courage.  The graphic and sound blew me away, especially the cut scene of him in the mech suit.   We had it for a couple of years when the video started to go out.  When it was completely out, out of frustation, my brothers and I took it to the back yard, slammed it on the ground and stomped the shit out of it.  I never knew what ever happened to the games. I have regretted that to this day.  I rediscovered the turbo in '99 when I purchased my first turbo duo system from retrogaming.com I think.  Since then I've been on again and off again collecting the turbo systems and games.  For some reason "I can't quit you" turbo.  However I have my current collection for the longest time, almost 3 years and now looking to venture out into the PC-Engine world.  I would really apprecate if you guys drop me a line or two.  Thanks.

Hey Kon (too many turbos here already) welcome back!  Best thing you can do if you want a PC-Engine is getting yourself a Duo-R or RX.  This is if you want to play non-FX/SG games.  Also, pick up an arcade card duo.

As far as games here are my favorites for each HuCards and CDs

CDs
Dracula X
Spriggan
Sapphire (pm BlueBMW for a free copy, donations accepted)
NEXZR
Asuka 120% Burning Fest

HuCard
Street Fighter 2
Coryoon
Batman
Soldier Blade (if you don't have it already on TG16)

There are many many more, these are just off the top of my head.  The other forum members here will chime in!

Thanks for your commoderie MG.  I actually played all the games you mention except for Batman and Coryoon.  Nexyr is freaking hard btw.  I have a region mod us Duo , turbografx, turbo express and 30 plus games.  Just aquired a coregrafx so I'm looking for a super cd rom system to go with it.  I will eventually get the Duo-r and turbografx cd someday. Beside batman and coryoon, what are other must have pc-engine hucards, specifically the ones that never made it to the turbo.

Thanks man, I like Blue Blink as well.  Dude, get Batman.  Such a good Pac-Man clone.  Personally I am still on the hunt for a copy of Coryoon.   My only experience with it is via emu which does not do it justice.
