popped in a brand new game
« on: September 14, 2012, 11:19:42 AM »
Just wanted to share with the everyone, my recent experience.  I Got a brand new Hit the Ice, never been played game in the mail today, It was epic.  There I was unwrapping, pulled the cart out, Hand thrust into the Air.  I walked over to the console, stared down the Hu-card slot, slowly and carefully slid in the game. CLICK! oh man my heart was pumping, fingers sliding over the on button. AWESOME CHIP TUNE SOUNDS! the room filled with turbo grafx graphics color, The first to ever set eyes on this particular game running, and the first turbo game brand new I've ever had.  At this point after I recovered, I enjoyed the most perfect game of 2 on 2 hockey any man could have.  

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

what an experience.  Anyone else have a great experience with a never been played before game?,
off to get me a beer.

Lol.  I have heard that one will drive you crazy with the controls. for a sports turbo, Hit the Ice is not too bad.  Good to see ya round the boards again!

Yep, I am not a big fan of sports titles, however I did watch my step-son play this.  It looks really unique and fun.  I think he just liked hitting people tho....

Good point, new isn't always better, hence why I love the NEC consoles.  I have never had a new car... but I love my used 2001 Subaru Forester.

I have gotten a few new titles in the past year or so. I managed to get a boxed never been opened Dragon's Spirit for $15 and got a brand new Panic Bomberman (from hit japan, that guy rules when it comes to talking him down on prices) for about the same price. Needless to say, you can get brand new turbo/pce games for decent prices if you are patient enough.

yeah, This one only cost me $20.  I'm hoping to get more PCE stuff so hopefully there will be more coming my way.

I have a Splatterhouse I want to open for this Halloween. Beat that!

I also have some other shrinkwrapped games (Dragon Spirit, World Class Baseball, Bravoman, Falcon and Davis Cup Tennis) and it is really a unique feeling to play a new game after 20 years.

I have a new Hit The Ice sitting on the shelf.  I don't even remember when I bought it...  Must have been an eBay purchase...  When I get through the other games I want to play, I'll open it, and I will probably enjoy opening it as much as playing it.

My latest new game was Bazaru, and it was definitely a good feeling to set him free to romp, play, and eat 'nanas.
