Poll- Are you a new or old PC Engine/TurboGrafx gamer?

[Otaking]

I'd be interested in how many forum members first played the PC Engine/TurboGrafx after the era it was released.
 

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.

I've not heard that acronym before, I had to consult the Urban Dictionary.

I got my Duo in 1992, had little TG-16 experience before that.

[esteban]

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).

[jelloslug]

I got my TG-16 in 1990.

[Black Tiger]

Got a TG-16 in 1990. A Turbo Express in 1991. A Turbo-CD with PCE CD imports in 1991/92. A TurboDuo at launch (1993?).

[KingDrool]

Got both the TurboGrafx and the Duo the Christmas after they launched. Got the Turbo Express sometime in between.

I got my first turbo console in the early 2000s. Growing up in the early nineties I had nothin' but SNES.

[pc_kwajalein]

Got a SNES when it launched. Traded it for a Turbo Grafx two years later. Got a Duo in the late 90's.

Remember walking out of Toy's R Us with a new Turbo like it was yesterday.

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 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))
