Craigslist TG16?

[CPTRAVE]

Ok, so I have been looking on Craiglists for some TurboGrafx games, but no one has any. I see all consoles but TG16, whats the deal? They are so hard to find. Is there a keyword to input?

[storino03]

no, it's just an obscure system to many people. I got lucky and randomly saw a TG16 bundle a few months ago.

[CPTRAVE]

Well, I will keep looking, maybe someone will have something they may want to get rid of.

It also depends where you live, they were fairly popular in some regions of the US and apparently almost non-existent in others.

I use http://www.ifttt.com to automatically notify me if any turbo stuff hits my local Craigslist. Otherwise you'll spend hours finding nothing.

Turbo is a pain to search on CL because people misspell it. You have to look up turbografx turbo grafx turbographics turbo graphics turbopraphfixsx16.........

I like Craigslist - those who never experienced the frustration of looking for Turbo games in the Nineties can still get a little taste of it.

Yeah, I saw this guy posted a TG in my neighborhood.

I sent him an email asking what games.  If it's the usual (Ninja Spirit, KC, TV Sports) he can go smoke a pipe.  But if it's three copies of Magical Chase......

Probably not.....


Lets see if I ever get a response.

True.  Don't forget turbo graffx.  This one got results and I ended up with a TG-CD because of it.  

What I really hate is when people use TG-16.  It's one I always forget to search.

[CPTRAVE]

Yeah it does seem is some regions TG16 was non existent, I asked around at work at least eight different people if they have ever heard of TG16 or Turbo Duo they said "What is that, I have heard of Nintendo".

 Thanks for the website http://www.ifttt.com I will look into that, has it helped you any?

Found this locally: link removed, Sadler's paranoid

Turbografx 16 Upright cabinet $ 100 AS-IS (working cabinet. Single Player layout control panel. JAMMA connector was removed with Turbografx board; but a new harness could be installed with little trouble. Monitor in great shape. No bezel. Has Turbografx 16 artwork on control panel/marquee unit)

[CPTRAVE]

Wow, are you going to get it? In my area there is nothing, nada, zippo. I would like to see what it looks like.

[Sadler]

I'd like to pick it up and $100 doesn't seem too bad. We'll see if it's still available...

Wow that's crazy, I bet that cabinet goes with something like that JAMMA Turbo that BlueBMW picked up a couple of months ago.  If you do meet up with the dude I'd love to see pics.  Heck if you need some extra manpower to move it shoot me a PM and let me know.
