Need TG-16 Advice , What To Get........

[ScumBum]

Well the way I see it ,

I like the idea of getting a boxed TG-16 , pretend its 1989 , and that I didn't miss out on the TG years back...... Also later that night watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure , to really feel like its 1989 ,

But , and a big BUTT ,  I know down the road I won't need two systems , I have had many and sold many game systems over the years , and the Japanese system Is all I need and will want to keep .

Choices in Life can be tough sometimes ,

To chime in my thoughts more on the two system route:

Us Turbo nerds are heavy collectors and it's probably hard to find one who doesn't own mutliple Turbo hardware  . It's also convient if you're not into having your systems modded and you can always sell off the TG16 later if you find you don't play it as much as your Japanese counterpart. As far as the controller issue for TG16, you'll probably only need one controller for it anyways. However you don't necessarily need the American versions of games to begin with as the Japanese versions are just as understandble for the most part, so maybe just getting a Duo R would be the right thing. I just like having American versions for the hilarious covers and instruction booklets.

Yes. Never underestimate the nostalgia factor. Again, I would go the modded Duo R/RX route, and get a TG-16 for a backup as well as for nostalgia. You can find some pretty sweet TG bundles on eBay. You just have to wade through the endless ripoffs.

I finally picked up a TG-16 !!

I wanted to get a Jap system , but I'm also into classic Arcade Games and every time I had the money , an Arcade game would pop up on craigslist and I'd blow my money on that instead !

So I found a guy on craigslist that had a TG-16 for sale with 5 games  , Keith Courage , Victory Run , Ninja Spirit , Take it To The Hoop , JJ & Jeff and a Turbo Booster.

I offered up a bunch of different stuff for trade and he wanted my Nintendo DS .  So I traded him my Nintendo DS for all his TG-16 stuff ! 

All I need now is Bonk and Adventure Island and I'm set for awhile .


I've been playing JJ & Jeff and I'm stuck on the first Level where it comes to a tree stump at the edge of a cliff , how do I get past that ?

In JJ and Jeff you just need to pretty much spray and kick everything.  Kick either the stump or on top, I forget... and a platform appears.  Later in the game you can jump on springs and get sent way back in the game! 

P.S. - That game WILL piss you off.

Thanks , I beat the first level now but I'm stuck in the second level in the sewers , trying to jump over the second gap thats super long .

For some good U.S. games get yourself

Soldier Blade
Alien Crush
Dragon's Quest
Military Madness
Ninja Spirit

There's probably a sign near the edge of the gap. KICK IT! A platform will appear.

As TheClash mentioned, JJ & Jeff is all about KICKING to find bonus areas, activate hidden platforms and find bonus items (not unlike Adventure Island in which you hunt for the EGG on various levels).

JJ & Jeff has more than its fair share of haters, but if you dig Wonderboy 1/Adventure Island (as you do), then I think you'll find JJ & Jeff to be a wonderful bastard child.

Also, I think U.S. TG-16 is perfect: you can grab the HuCards you want (i.e. English-language, exclusive to North America, etc.). Later you can check out the wonderful world of CD's and PCE  HuCards...

I assume they mean Dragon's Curse as there in DQ games on the TG/PCE.

No, but 'Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes'  is very similar to 'Dragon Quest'

Ok, just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something there.
