Just saying hello
« on: February 05, 2014, 10:00:37 AM »
Hi there :)

Finally got around to getting myself added here, after a long hiatus I got the Turbo bug again, and I wan't to rebuild what was once a great collection.

I once owned a Duo with a collection of about 250 games between us and japan. I wrote a short lived fanzine "Duo Dimensions" and I even talked to the fine folks at T.T.I and Vic Ireland back in the day, those were great times indeed.

Prices these days seem to be a bit crazy but with a bit of patience and time and some luck, I can restore my collection back to it's former glory...

I have some turbo stickers I'll be giving away in the future, I hope people will enjoy them :)

Cheers

You have the right mindset, "patience and time and some luck". Stuff is 20 years old, waiting a week, month or year to re-acquire goodies will not hurt.

Looking forward to your tales of the Turbo front from your tour of duty, sounds like you got some stories.

Welcome :-)

It would be interesting to see some scans of your "Duo Dimensions" fanzine.

In the process of still unpacking from moving and stuff, once I get my things out, I'll scan em up

Welcome to the party! It's always nice to see a new face! I hope your stay is long and enjoyable. :D

I would also really like to see your fanzine. I love it when people show their love for something by creating something to honor it.

Awesome!

Welcome!

I find slowly buying games gives you the time to appreciate them before buying more.
