What happened to the Turbo List?

[ChopperCharles]

What ever happened to the Turbo List? I've been trying to get on http://joyce.eng.yale.edu/~bt/turbo, and it doesn't seem to exist anymore. I've been out of the loop for five or six years, but am just now getting back into my Turbo again after a very long hiatus.

Unfortunately, my CD sound is messed up in my Duo, and I'm hoping somebody can help me trouble-shoot the problem. (Hu sound plays fine, all discs load properly... but the CD sound fades out completely after about 5 minutes. I tried cleaning the lens and stuff, to no avail. I think a transistor or cap somewhere went south... unless it's just a bad solder joint somewhere...)

check other similar posts here i the forums, thats come up before. I've gone thru great distances to keep my NEC systems alive, they are almost pets to me of sorts

As far as the Turbo list, I have been wondering the same thing i checked 2 days ago to catch up myself and i couldn't get it either. Hopefully it is just something technical, i've been watching/contributing to that list forever.

They have been having major web host issues over the past few months (TurboList, MindRec & TZD) but everything should be back to normal now.

Hey guys, I wanted to continue a bit of a conversation here about the Turbo List. Who was all in it, and if you remember any of the emails. I used to get so excited to see new emails come into my inbox, and would read just about every update. I saw the digest archive was brought up in some conversations after the passing of one of the original members of the list, so I figured I would pass this link along.  (maybe it's already common knowledge, but oh well, here's another link!)

This was one of my 3 editions of "The Turbo Sage Speaks" columns I wrote up, haha.  It's pretty hilarious, but I figured I'd share.

I was in it but I have no idea what email or name I used for it.

I was in it.  I think I used my current yahoo email or maybe it was juno.  Any other poors remember that one?

Like Josh, I have fond memories of the list. It was a connection to fellow obey lovers from around the world before Facebook and Discord. I was looking through the old digest and saw a couple of old heads that are still around today. That's brand loyalty right there!

The Turbo List was something I was subscribed to, but I never participated in. It gave me some news, but during that time TZD was still around so I spent most of my time with their catalog and flyers, and whatever I could find in certain back issues of GamePro, Game Players, and similar magazines. I still have an old, "Tips and Tricks" magazine that featured a section with Turbo Grafx/Duo cheats, and this was a while after TTI took things over, I want to say that issue was from 1995, or late 1994, since it covered Jaguar, also. I'll have to dig that magazine out, sometime.

Turbo Grafx was at that time a system few people I knew of had. When one neighborhood guy I knew moved away, i was then the only person i knew with one. I took a break from the Turbo Grafx from about 2000-2004 or so. Had it all boxed up, put away, didn't play it, then I got an itch for it again. During that time I was already aware of PCENGINEFX forums, and that was about when I started, I guess one could say, "Participating" more with people that owned these systems.

I did peruse the, "Turbo List Archives" though. I am thinking I probably unsubscribed in 2000 or so.

I loved the old Turbo Mailing List! That's where I first met Aaron and BT (RIP). And I got a VHS tape from Chuck (Retro Game Cave) full of PC Engine gameplay back then through the list. Those were good times.
