How old were you when the Turbo Grafx came out?

[turbokon]

So it came out one day after I turn 11. I think we picked it up a couple years later.

It came out on my 11th birthday. You're 1 day older than me lol.

Hahaha, that's cool!

Whew I'm not the oldest  :-"

I was 23 when the TG-16 came out so if I rule out the 100 year old (ish) which I think is safe   I would be second oldest after TheOldMan.

I was six when the TG16 came out.

I may have been young, but my initials were definitely already prominently featured at my local arcades.

I was 11 on that date, but turned 12 in October of that year and got one for Christmas. It was the ONLY thing on my list and the only thing that mattered to me at the time. A friend and I were at the Fred Meyer in Marysville, WA and caught my mom walking out with it, so I knew I was getting one before that day even though she teased me saying that since I'd seen it she took it back to the store.

The next year I got the TG-CD with Y's Book 1 & II and Sherlock Holmes. It was a huge surprise because $400 for my family at the time was quite expensive. My dad always like to go overboard on Christmas though because his always sucked as a kid.

In Fall of 1989 I was 10. Didn't actually get one until Summer 1998, when I was 19.

I was 17......got my TG-16 in 1990.

[grimm]

Ill turn 34 in a couple of months, so either 9 or 11 then.

[blueraven]

[MrFlutterPie]

Just a youngling at 3

[fraggore]

the ripe old age of 13

[meka]

Almost 3 years old, but I did beat Ghostbusters on the 2600 when I was 3 and I still remember defeating the final boss.

I think you see some diverse ages because while some people actually had TG16 marketed in their region, some of us including me never heard about the TG16/PCE until much later. Emulation and the internet is how I learned of its existence probably back in 1999 or 2000. And you can thank Castlevania for that. It got me interested in the system and since I've played many other great games for the platform.

Back when the TG16 was alive, I was busy playing either the Atari 800 home computer, NES and later SNES. If I'd have seen a Turbo DUO playing Lords of Thunder back then I would definitely have wanted one. I recall they had some promo where they tried to promote the DUO with that game.

I was almost 11

Does it help that I learned how to read while playing Dragon Warrior at age 5?

In my case I learned english with videogames (RPG). Dragon Warior, Phantasy Star, Neutopia.

When I jumped in, I got a Duo w/ 1 controller, Gates 3 in one, Ninja Spirit, Ys 1&2, Sonic Spike, World Class Baseball, Legendary Axe, Victoly Run, and TV sports Football. All that for $200.

Not a bad haul for only 200 monies. 

Oh, and I was 10 when the TG came out.  Coincidentally that was the year I got an NES.   Then I patiently (or not so patiently) waited 5 years later to spend my hard earned moneys on a Turbo Duo when I was 15!!
