I wanted Mortal Kombat for the TG-16 so bad I did this:
YOUR video inspired me so bad I did THIS:
enjoy!
For all the MK haters out there, you got admit the sequel was a pretty decent game which improved over the 1st one in EVERY aspect.
Babalites and Friendship!!!
Anywayssss on a more serious note, this topic pains me to no end cause we all know how great the system was and it's "back then" potential here in N.America...it was just bad leadership from the top of the company on the US side.
Does anybody even know why NEC America was unable to release great 3rd party properties like NEC Japan? A few Capcom, Sega, Konami titles would of done wonders in Turbo's early days!
Save for the original system box, the graphic design was just brutal on all it's 1st few waves of games (Blazing Lazers? shit...what a travesty for such a graphically beautiful game). But they didn't even learn later anyways...Bravoman...yah...
The CD unit, the fact that it had soooo many great games (Japan side) that I think most of us here just couldn't/wouldn't even get our hands on them because the unit was so damn expensive. Maybe introducing a price drop earlier on it might've helped increase the user base therefore leading to my next point...
I also think it would've helped if they introduced the SuperCD or Duo here much earlier, by the time that tech came here, the TG name was already too far behind for consumers to give it a chance. I mean, i don't even remember retail stores selling the SuperCD system cards here, people had to special order them through ads in game magazines...
Anyways, easier said then done but if i was head of NEC/TTI back then, these would've been my concerns
