Paste Magazine TG16 article
« on: August 26, 2014, 12:11:52 PM »
So Paste just posted an article about growing up with the TruboGrafX-16.  It's a bit of a change from the usual articles written by people who discovered the system years later, and I quite enjoyed it.

Sweet!  Thanks for the info.  That is a pretty cool article.  I like reading about personal experiences with these things when they were new.  Cool personal retrospective.

That was a fun read!  I wish my Dad was into games as much as hers.

Yeah, it was fun to read something from someone who was an "enthusiast" and not an "expert". The "what do the Turbo Switches do?" part had me laughing.

I could not watch anyone in that video. Dear god they were horrible. Why is that even available for viewing? I'd rather suck my own sludge through a straw.

Thank you.

P.S. I stopped at a minute (or under).

"Did you know it was actually the first 16-bit system?"

No remarks like "the Turbo's processor is actually 8 bit" which are really in the level of "Super Mario Bros. 2 was Doki Doki Panic in Japan". That's a good article.

That was such an awesome article! I really enjoyed reading this from the perspective of someone who merely had this and loved it as a child. It was just more or less reminiscing about the console and it's games with some basic information for readers to following along with. This was definitely more interesting than the majority of articles written by new collectors who are just respewing wikipedia.

I cannot see how you could even think of saying something like this about the person after reading this. Is it only because it's written by a girl? There is nothing derogatory or wrong with this article other than one or two facts but the author made clear that she was more going from memory and not trying to prove any point.  Did you even read it?
