Introduction to the forum...sort of LOL

[BigusSchmuck]

Quite frankly, if you grew up in the 90s and read any kind of big video gaming magazines (EGM, Gamepro, etc.) you would have heard about the Turbo and the PC Engine. I don't think its as obscure as people think it is. Now as for the Amiga CD 32... Anyway, welcome aboard!

I'm also new to the forums. I have been a lurker here for awhile. Until about 2 months ago i never had a turbo unit at all. I wanted a US duo but due to their unreliable qualities i was hesitant to bull the trigger. I finally managed to get a recapped unit that works great with Ys book 1&2 and Galaga 90'. I couldn't think of a better place to ask this question. Is there any requirement to post in the B/S/T thread? Do you guys mostly sell on here or on ebay? I'm definitely not a reseller. I haven't ever sold anything on ebay. I can't seem to part with any of my games ha ha! I want to beef up my TG collection but there is no way I'm paying the price of some of these games on ebay. I mean i understand that some games are expensive. I collected all the expensive games for the US saturn(except for daytona netlink edition), but turbo ebay listings are INSANE! Sorry for hijacking the thread

I'm new to this forum as well, but have been in the gaming buy/sell/trade arena for about 13 years. I buy more than I sell. I have 130+ total transations on Ebay and only 20 of them have seen me in the seller role. When it comes to retro gaming forums like PCEFX or Digital Press, I prefer to sell to members of the boards BEFORE putting them on Ebay. I don't mind someone buying a game or two from me who actually might play and appreciate it as opposed to some guy looking to mark it up later. Plus, I find dealing with like-minded people a tremendous advantage over Ebay.

No problem.

Welcome

I have since grown to adore the Turbografx 16 and the unique library of games ( Dracula X, Bonk Series, Splatterhouse, just to name a few). I can't believe this system was not more widely known...

You know, I always find this statement to be somewhat odd. I guess it is possible the system really wasn't well known among players in other areas, but where I live currently, which is where I also grew up at, NLR area of Arkansas, the Turbografx was widely known. It may not have been widely popular with everyone, but pretty much every kid I knew during the TG-16 systems retail life span that cared about video games on any kind of level knew about the Turbografx 16. Toys R Us, Software Etc, and Electronics Boutique all carried games for it, as did Sears and some other retail chains.

Also, don't be scared off by the Professor's rather lengthy (but enjoyable) post in this thread. I think he makes a good point (there was information, albeit limited, about the TG-16/Lynx/3DO/etc. in popular multi-platform mags for those inclined to spend a few minutes to read the handful of pages they filled collectively)... of course, lots of folks would furiously flip the pages of magazines and only stop for certain content...so, interestingly, we have a situation where readers were often very selective with the information that would be absorbed into their brains.

For example, I remember skipping all the Lynx coverage in magazines because I knew my friend (with Lynx) hunted down any morsel of coverage the Lynx received (not unlike the situation TG-16 owners were in).

ANYWAY
