Poll- Are you a new or old PC Engine/TurboGrafx gamer?
« on: April 07, 2013, 07:37:57 AM »
I'd be interested in how many forum members first played the PC Engine/TurboGrafx after the era it was released.
 :D

Personally I played it around the time it was released and through the console's life cycle and I bought most of the games (all the big ones) back when they were first released too.
A massive part of my interest in the system is purley nostalgia of this time.

TG-16 at launch (well, technically, after my brothers and I had saved enough money we bought it the day after Xmas 1989, yes, we asked everyone for $$$ that Xmas).

I got my first turbo console in the early 2000s. Growing up in the early nineties I had nothin' but SNES.
SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

Got a SNES when it launched. Traded it for a Turbo Grafx two years later. Got a Duo in the late 90's.
My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

i picked up a white pc engine with shinobi and tail of the monster path in 1989, remember it well i was working on a job placement it was snowing and i was freezing my bollocks off replacing car windows waiting for 5 o'clock so i could go home and play on it.

It was a bad day that turned into a dame good one.
I always wanted a thing called tuna sashemie

I forgot about TG-CD. I got that 6 months-year after it was released. My brothers and I bought the deeply discounted demo unit from a local video game store ("Video Dynasty" in Belleville...across from Kmart, for the northern-NJ folks here)

I played it when I was about 4, which was in 1992.  That's close enough.  It was still a current system at the time. :)

I didn't get my own until I was 12.  But, it was the same one that I grew up playing.     It's awesome when your aunts and uncles get too old and busy to play games.

I played later like 2000 but always wanted a tg16 when it first came out. Instead I got a SMS for Xmas and the Genny and the tg16 were released and I always thought the tg16 looked way better. I wished for it and saved clippings of the systems and the games ((nerd pose))
