He did have 18 SGX games. If he had any wits he would have said there were dupes in there. What a dumbass

18 Supergrafx games. All of them Battle Ace. All new and sealed I'm sure.

"I want to charge admission to view my collectardtion".

Ha - the home museum talk was my favorite part.

"And here, past this pile of trash and pizza boxes, is my collection of SuperGrafx games."

[Black Tiger]

"You're wrong. Shadow Land is a commonly used name for whatever that game is really called. And Forgotten Worlds on the Sega is real close to the arcade and there are 18 SuperGrafx games (I know cuz I once owned them all, just as I once owned every game known to man) and PCE hybrid games gain a layer of background scrolling from the SuperGrafx, just as Macross 2036 gains a layer when not played on a turbo grafx cd."

-"I've never heard anyone call it 'Shadow Land' before".

"Your a fckn prick that really needs to mind your own business! I have a couple friends who can vouch that I owned everything people claim never existed. You read stupid "facts" in places on the internet (like this club), but I got my knowledge from personally playing 18 different SuperGrafx games! If you actually owned Shadow Land instead of reading info on the internet, you'd know that wikipedia calls it Shadow Land and YOU ARE WRONG".

[Mathius]

Wow! Where to begin. Either he's a troll or is confusing the SuperGrafx with something else.

" I have a couple friends who can vouch that I owned everything people claim never existed."

^^That's crazy on so many levels.

[KingDrool]

Silly rabbit, everybody knows "true" fans of PCE and TG16 don't go near Facebook.

What is this face-space thing you are all referring to?

[_joshuaTurbo]

Can someone explain the benefit of facebook groups about video games vs. BB forums?

Diluting the fan base? The thrill of being an admin? The confusion of matching real names to handles? Integrating strangers who happen to like video games into one's friends and social networks? Extra drama? Facebook's invasive monitoring and advertising? The short-term memory of no subforums, no topics, no word search, and having to scrolling down through miles of posts to find a thread from one week ago? I don't get it.

Ditto.

There truly are no advantages of being in a FB video game group instead of a video game forum.  The Turbografx group ran by Chris seems to be a cesspool of guys trying to sell crap for high prices and arguments.  (Totally different than PCFX right?) 

However...

I think personally I joined up with a couple of these(Retro gaming/thrift/sales) groups on facebook purely because A-I have a FB account, and need a reason to use it (other than sharing happenings with my friends and family with extended friends and family). and B-It's a good way to branch out and introduce others to 'teh true OBEY forums' here as I've met a few Turbo guys that have never heard of this site.

Our 'one and only OBEY' group grew so fast initially because many of the midwesterner peeps on this very forum met in person at VGS and MGC and have made it a point to get together 3~4 times a year since we all live relatively close (Beemer in heart and Tats via skype) and have so many similar interests on top of all getting along.  Once other Turbo heads joined up, the conversations just continued to grow.

I've also joined a group on instagram after meeting a guy locally through a craigslist trade.  He knows what I have on my wish list and I know what he's into and we can message each other if we find stuff around locally.  He found a few things that I was interested in just a week ago.  It's kind of neat really.

I have no issues with joining social networking sites' VG groups to branch out beyond just being in VG forums, but I wouldn't want a fb group to replace what we have here.

so where is the real damn page?

BATMAN!

Dont you have forumites to work on?

[jeffhlewis]

The FB group is no replacement for PCEFX by any stretch but it's fun to read the convos during periodic breaks during the day.

There's also the face-to-a-name factor for folks that I haven't met in person yet.

Though I still imagine Nando being an African tour guide.
