Hold up, is Will Smith really a Turbo fan or is that just a joking reference to Enemy of the State?
Quote from: Bonknuts
Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Ugh, yes, after he got full on shafted by the former world team.
20 years later he is still bitter.  Go watch Rubbish Heap and you'll understand why he was left behind.

I want to be more like 337.

I remember when that Home Alone movie came out and Micauly Caulkin (however you spell his name) was on the Tonight Show.  Jay Leno gave him a brand new TG16 in the box on live TV.  I can't remember if this was before or after Leno took over the show.  Before Johnny Carson retired, Leno would fill in for him on Tuesdays.

You got me ;)  I'd like to think he insisted on the TE being in there though.

If this really happened (and it wasn't a dream of yours, ha! ), then we gotta find a clip of this!

Here's an old thread... Matthew Sweet and Green Jelly LOVE TG-16/PCE

I'm still hoping to find the answers to those eternal questions...
