Who's the new guy?
« on: April 01, 2012, 02:23:22 AM »
Let me start by saying hello and let you know that I have been looking for a forum like this for quite some time.
Turbo discussions are hard to come by and are often tucked away in general video game forums where you're lucky if people post once a month, and it's generally drivel.

I found this site from a google search looking for a Gate of Thunder CD insert.  Needless to say, I found a great one here and wanted to sign up.

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time scouring thrift stores and flea markets hoping to find a score of 'bob.  Recently found a TG16 and 7 boxed games for $35 (couldn't pass that up).  However, my time spent on gaming has significantly reduced so that's one place I certainly need improvement.

Anyway, here is my small collection if anybody cares to see it (looking for Dragon Slayer and It Came from the Dessert).
Thanks for having me!

Welcome, comrade galam.

I am totally envious of Beyond Shadowgate. I played it years ago (a friend owned it), but I cannot afford it, myself.

I don't have one of the winning MegaMillions tickets, either, so.....

But enough about me. You have a wonderful library of games and I'm sure you have (and will continue) to enjoy PCE/TG-16 goodness .

PRO TIP: When you don't have time to actually play, you can resort to ultimate dorkdom (as I have) and listen to the chiptunes and Red Book soundtracks of many fine, fine games. Your humble Shadow of the Beast, for example, holds one of the most exquisite treatments of the original Amiga soundtrack. Pop that slender disc in your favorite Portable CD Player and go for a bike ride*. It is simply, outrageously divine. I'll stop there.

*I'm not joking about the bike ride. That soundtrack is soaring--perfect for a journey through the ravages of suburbia.

Welcome to the forums that's quite a collection you've got, how long have you been collecting?

I have had the Duo since release, and collection was much bigger about 10 years ago.  I got out of it a bit and sold quite a few when I saw what they were getting on EBay at the time.  Glad I held onto what I did, only 1 or 2 regrets on the games that are gone.
