My avatar choice was chosen for reason's not so much different as your own. A lot of the more passionate fans of the Turbo and PC-E, like to express that feeling with a unique name of something associated with those consoles or games that were exclusive to the consoles.
I had some good ideas but, most of them were taken so, I started flipping through my game manuals to find a suitable name that only a TG16/PC-E fan would recognize and that's when I remembered that Blazing Lazers featured some enemy ships and stuff in it's manual with names.

The Shrapnoids are the meteors that burst into smaller shrapnel-like meteors that home-in on your Gunhed ship after you fire on them.

If you're battle skills aren't that good or your weapons are leveled up enough then, you're better off dodging the Shrapnoids.   

Goes to show how much I open and read game manuals.  I thought it was a lymph node biopsy!

In stage 4, it probably would be.

Mine is one of the bases from Namco's arcade game "Bosconian Star Destroyer."  I paraphrased it underneath, because it often seems (on other forums) whenever I comment on a thread, it gets subsequently abandoned.  :lol:

Something along the lines of a hot busty chick in a thong would work for me! lol......if not, maybe something TG-16/Express related like a logo that someone else isn't using.

Mine is self-explanatory.

HAHAHA, although it's "self explantory", you still explained yourself twice?!
Sorry Tats, i'm just being cheeky  :dance:

Well, mine is Ryu Hoshi before he became the face of the Street Fighter franchise!....still can't believe he was a japanese redhead, heh.
Call me an idiot, but Fighting Street was what got me most intrigued about the PCE CDsystem when it was released, 2 years later I managed to get one.
