And, lest we forget our common Swiss heritage

ALSO: Widnau is the only canton that matters. Accept this fact.

I was twelve when the TurboGrafx-16 came out and thirteen when I bought it after selling my NES and Master System.

I was 6 months old when PCE was released and 2 when the TG16 came to the US.  My dad got one out of the news paper in 1990 with 8 games or so, he thought it was neat and would eventually be bigger than the nintendo, as the "future of video games" if only more people had realized this early on.  First game I ever played - Bonk's Adventure (take that mario), however based on the SNES they bought me just a few years later, they couldn't find turbo stuff at a reasonable price. Anyway, I never let the turbo die, been playing it on and off for 22 years now.  Not sure why, but there is something magical about the system.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

I know why, but I can't express it fully with mere words.

Or, perhaps I can.

I was 9.  I didn't get a tg16 for a couple years tho.  A video rental store that rented them was stopping and had several brand new systems in the back that they kept in case one of the rental systems was damaged.  I scored one for $60 after doing many chores to raise the money.  It was probly '91 or '92.  I knew the first time I turned it on there was something special about the TG16.

Why do I always look at this thread? Why do I want to be reminded of how old we are?

Even the young folks are too old.

I was 14 and I had just gotten my first job washing dishes.  That was the only way I was able to get one.
