Welcome, comrades. 
Hello everyone, I have been browsing the site and forum for the past few weeks so I decided it was time I joined up. I have never owned a PC Engine/TG-16 before but my local retro shop will be getting a shipment from Japan in the next couple of weeks and there is a Core Grafx with my name on it. 
RBT, you have chosen wisely. The CoreGrafx = perfect introduction to the wonderful world of PCE
I've joined fairly recently as well. I currently have the following set-up TG16 with 15 games, PCE & Core Grafx & Core Grafx 2 with about 120 games, and a PC-FX with about 18 games. So far I love this site. The info here even helped me fix a problem my FX was having.
Damn, PC-FX? Now the "newbies" are making me feel bad. I need to re-purchase a PC-FX. Just kidding about the "newbie" comment, since you clearly have a solid footing in the PCE world
Un...less I'm misunderstanding, it's customary for me to introduce myself, I guess?
I'm a hard rock guitarist (think Joe Perry) with a penchant for playing obscene amounts of video games. I smoke like a chimney and have dark eyes and careless hair, I'm fashionably sensitive but too coooool to care...you probably should ignore that last bit.
Zeppelin rules!
You realize that you are now obligated to record a PCE-centric tune on your guitar, right? Well, no, but you should strongly consider it. Personally, I would love any chiptune rendered on a guitar.
No pressure, of course. Just have fun playing PCE/TG-16.
Also, if you have a few $$$$ to burn (or a fan of shoot-em-ups), pick up
God Panic for an homage of Stairway to Heaven. Also, I'm sure you know about
, yes?
Otherwise, I can share an mp3 of the God Panic track. It isn't amazing, but it is a bonafide PCE~Zeppelin connection. How many of those connections exist, on any platform?
Well, I did a bit of rifling through some old threads, and decided it was best for me to go ahead and actually introduce myself for a change.
As indicated by my first post here (on the "PC Engine for sale/wanted" section) I don't currently own a Turbografx/PC Engine. It wasn't until very recently I actually decided I wanted one. I've only been really into the retro gaming for a few months now, though I've been a gamer since the 32/64-bit era (I was born right smack in the middle of the 16-bit era, IE too young to appreciate it.) I own an Xbox 360, a Wii, PS1, N64, and an SNES, but I've recently added to my retro console ranks with an NES, Master System, Genesis, and an Atari 2600. I'm hoping to get a PC Engine soon, so I can start "shootin'-it-up" (shmupping? lol).
For about as long as I've been into video gaming, I've been a pretty die-hard Nintendo fan, and in my early days, I was quite prejudice against Sega/Playstation/etc. Recently, however, I've been more accommodating to other game developers, as Nintendo's most recent offerings have been somewhat disappointing as compared to the Xbox 360. All that being said, I won't go around waving a "Nintendo is superior" flag like a herpaderp.
There's a bunch more I could say, a la reasons I want to get into NEC consoles, but I mainly just wanted to introduce myself so you guys don't think I'm just on here just to buy a PC Engine.
Even though you are just a little child, we still welcome you. I'm sure there are particular games you are interested in playing (assuming you haven't tried some via emulation already). Whilst waiting for the real hardware, I think it is well-worth plunking down a few dollars to play Dynastic Hero or Bonk 3 on Wii VC, for example.
Also, I'm sure you know this, but there are plenty of cheap titles that are tons of fun, should $$$ be an issue. :idea:
