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).
This needs to be avenged.
Non violently of course.

I missed this thread! Damn. I'm slowly trying to catch up on topics I missed.


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.


Ha! Actually, it still happens today. If you are selling something, you want to show it off. Using a product "correctly" will cover-up and hide all the goodness.

A really good composition will minimize this "awkwardness" whilst showing as much of the "crucial" parts of an item...but a bad composition just looks silly.





BACK ON TOPIC: ok, not really, since I'm more interested in the big discussion on PRICES and how they evolved overt the lifespan of a console + all the bundles + free offers etc. 

I have a lot of updating to do, but you can SORT BY PRICE in TurboPlay ARCHIVES by clicking on "$$$" or typing "$" in the search field for "description":


SORT by price  ( http://archives.tg-16.com/magazine_database.htm?&col=desc&val=$ )


It's fun to see what's listed now, but, as I said, it will be be much better when I update all the listings:

$180.00 Sega Chair

$250.00 Playboy TE coverage (non covered)
