new member question... what is Turbob?
« on: March 14, 2012, 02:28:24 PM »
Ok, this may seem completely stupid (I'm sorry), but I've seen the word "Turbob" mentioned quite a few times in what seems reference to TG16 games or the system itself.

Please indulge a new member... what is Turbob, and what relationship does it have to the TG16?

I think it was originally someone mis-typing, they were typing Turbo, & added a "b" at the end.

Like others have said, it probably started as a mistype and then caught on as slang.

Turbob = Turbo related stuff

Its very general in its use...

"I picked up some Turbob today!"  - I bought some turbo grafx games today
"I going to go play Turbob" - I'm going to go play Turbo Grafx 16
"I'm a Turbobler!"  - I'm a turbo grafx player :D

Little known fact, but Turbob was actually the kid on the Turbo Grafx 16 box.

The guy on the box should have been known as a Turboob.

I recommend you, sir, learn to take a joke.

Also nobody has paid $40 for Keith Courage, ever.
