Favorite Sega console (and the greatest game console of all time in the history of ever!) is Genesis, naturally.  Now, I could go on for PAGES about why, and then give a lecture on how the Saturn is the last of the "Retro Consoles" . . . but this is a PC Engine forum.  Also, Dreamcast had the most awesome 18 months, it was just one unique, fun game after another . . .  but ya know.  Aaaaanyway . . . . 

Thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone.  Back in the day, teenage me thought of the TurboGrafx as second-class.  Once every few months there would be a game review snuck betwixt dozens of Sega and Nintendo reviews.  It seemed to hit a stride when the Duo came out, but damn, those Johnny Turbo comic book style ads were terribly off-putting.  Sega sticking it to Nintendo in ads was cool and hip, was like the kid smart mouthing the teacher in a kind of harmless way. The Turbo ads were simply . . . sad.  It was like a freshman wannabe lipping off to the varsity quarterback. 

All that said, gee, I sure would like a Duo someday.

If there are, I don't need 'em!

As a further introduction, here I am in all my Sega nerd glory.  My new Core Grafx is rudely blocked by my pasty white knee!

Welcome to Pcenginefx!

While I am not a Sega fan, I am not a Sega hater.  I just have never really been exposed to anything Sega other than the Game Gear, which I enjoyed.

FEKA!!!!

I really like the framed Asteroids poster—tell me about it.

Gladly, Esteban. 

It's that plasticy-paper stuff, and it came with an Atari Flashback.  I believe the Asteroids poster was exclusive to the store where I got it, or exclusive to that model.  Others had a Centipede or Battlezone or other poster.  I was very happy to get the Asteroids one . . . it might be my favorite vintage Atari game!

As for the bright yellow frame, it was left in the house by the previous owner when we moved in.  It accents the yellow in the ASTEROIDS logo rather well, I think. 

Here's a better look at it . . .

Yeah, that's a great poster. I actually like a lot of the arcade and 2600 artwork from BITD.

Nice.

My sister got me a Flashback for my birthday a couple years ago, the posters are cool.. but shame about them being folded in quarters.  I was thinking of doing the same thing with one of them!

[SparkyJLM]

Yeah, that's a great poster. I actually like a lot of the arcade and 2600 artwork from BITD.

Nice.

I wish someone would make games that look exactly like that artwork, the way games of the future appeared in my seven-year old imagination. 

And while I'm at it, here's a a lazy Susan that was torn out of someone's kitchen . . .
