I heard and saw of the PCE the first time back in 1988 and I knew that this thing is gonna shoot of big bullets. it could do 1:1 arcade R-Type almost right of the start. it had me right away.

My bad, that's the title of the French version of Talespin.

I think my NES cost about £100 with turtles as a pack in. This was when you could get nearly $2 to £1.
DO THE MATH!

That's in a region where it didn't dominate the market. That's also either a store's bundle or Nintendo's cost increased by packing in another company's game for some reason

It was an official pack in. It had turtles on the box and everything.

So it was definitely more expensive than a regular Nintendo set, in which Nintendo wouldn't be paying both Konami and Eastman/Laird/misc.

I'm not sure, the only magazine scan I can find relevant puts the price of the control deck with no game at £99 a year or so prior. Cant find anything to truly compare. I do remember games were around £40 each though.

You don't know how happy I was to unwrap that. It was either Christmas '90 or April '91. Memory hazy.

Why do ads from the 80's have pics of people holding controllers like a foreign object being examined in a homicide case? These are ways I've never even considered holding a controller. Well, that's it, I'm going to play every system holding the controller like the kid on the nes ninja turtle box. I figure it must be the key to a high score or something.

It almost looks as if he's to start the "Jerk n' Toss" motion. That'd be priceless.

What is this, they were too scared to use "ninja" over in Europe ? So they're known as "teenage mutant hero turtles" over there ?

I hadn't thought about that and now I'm sad that I had too....

Yes. Also note michaelangelo doesn't have his nunchucks. Also contra was changed to robots instead of people and called probotector.

You know what I remember about the TG16 when I was a kid? I remember having to sell it when my jack ass step father was upset that I didn't have any money to buy Christmas presents (cuz he's a child) so he made me feel bad about being a 13 year old kid with no money. So, I sold it to buy Christmas presents.

I should have slit his throat while he was sleeping on Christmas eve. That would be like getting a gift for the whole family (and it cost nothing.....except my freedom.....totally worth it).
