I think I was a freshman in High School when I really started getting heavy into video game collecting.  Really it was about the same time as I got a job hehe.

Lilgrafx, if you're into other stuff, www.gametz.com is a pretty good place to work out trade deals for all kinds of video game stuff.

Yeah I started collecting last summer when my brother started getting big into collecting Super Nintendo. I really liked the older games and wanted to find a system to collect for, then I stumbled upon the amazingness that is the Turbo. Needless to say its hard collecting for a obsure system when your only source of income is mowing lawns :). I can't wait to get a summer job and blow all my money on video game.

I agree with everyone who has said that Lilgrafx is worthy of the prize and will keep the TurboTorch burning bright. I was just shocked that "young folks" are here on the forums :)

I was in the same situation when I was in school, too. :)

That's why I spent so much time with crappy games (I couldn't afford anything new/better).

Sadly, my life has come full-circle and I can no longer afford to spend much $$$ on video games (3 children + everything else). It's hilariously pathetic when you think about it!

I'm still in that happy middle spot.... good job, good income, no wife, no kids === lots of disposable income for games.

Oh how I miss those days. :P

Women... can't live with them, can't live without them.

Can't kill them either for being a major pain in the financial ass! :lol:

Women... can't live with them, can't live without them.


You can most definitely live without them!  I miss my single life.  I'm getting married in five months and she moved in with me six months ago.  I know I'm getting a great woman and all, but I miss being able to do what I want whenever I want.  On top of it all, she is the clingy type and doesn't get video games at all.   I'm stuck with her planning our (my) weekend all the time.

That's not all woman, I've been with my wife 11 years and she never heardof the TG 16 till she met me she does not mind I buy games or other PCEngine systems. Hell we just bought a new house a few months ago and the basement is mine to do as I wish to it...... Trying to decide how I want my gameroom lol.

Sounds to me like you aren't in a relationship with someone you should get married to.  My wife (of 10+ years) has hobbies that I support and encourage, and she supports and encourages mine.  Hope I don't sound like a dick, but why would you marry someone that doesn't get you?
