Ten years ago today I.....

[DragonmasterDan]

Ten years ago today I joined some web forum about PC Engine, PC-FX and TurboGrafx 16 games. And I'm happy to say that I'm still posting on a semi-regular basis. How long have you been on this forum and what brought you here?

[Necromancer]

I've been here nine years now, and I came to ask what my games are worth, where to find teh dealz, and to determine if Magical Chase is worth it.

[MrFulci]

About ten years here, also, Dan. Though, I take breaks here and there, and lurked for a while, prior to joining. I recall getting e-mails from the Turbolist, but different e-mail address, and was never quite sure how to participate in that, and later on, during a break, I didn't care.

Aaron, I am glad you keep this going. At least for historical, purposes!


*edited to add a word, so I could form a complete sentence!

You can blame chop for bringing me here.

I wanted to learn how to best collect for the Turbograhix.

To rebuy "my childhood games that I stupidly sold as a kid."  They are Magical Chase, Bonk 3, Syd Meads Tearaforming, Legend of Tommy Hero and Ca-dash.

To sell my  Turbograhix games at over ebay prices to "help out fellow collectors"

Go nuts and buy a full set proudly exclaiming how this achievement validates my existence and how euphorically happy I am....I will then sell the set 2 months later #see above^

Find other collectors who enjoy masturbating to VGA sealed games.  Start a circle jerk group.

Finally to purposely never join douphile...EVER!

Mr. FlutterPie. You're not quite in the, "Old Boy" club, like us... Nullity, he's there, somehow there, since he setup that country club, without many attendees.

Nullity, he puts, "New" folks through the, "Water Wiggle" and, "Mr Bucket" Gauntlet". Good chap, there... Good, chap...

I'm still a noob but my reasons for being here are worth mentioning. 

I have always kept my old gaming systems and played them frequently picking up "new" games here and there.  I heavily got back into "retro gaming" about 4 years ago.  I had been on a few automotive online forums previously and noted there was really only one that wasn't full of B.S. and drama.  I have been a member on that forum for about 12 years now.  I loved the NES and Genesis so I started lurking on Nintendoage, Segaage, Sega-16 and Famicom World.  I tried it but I couldn't stand the lack of intelligence on a lot of those forums as well as the "mine's bigger than yours" drama.  I figured gaming forums would not be my thing.

In my search for old consoles I didn't own growing up I started reading about the Turbografx 16.  I eventually purchased one and started enjoying it.  I originally came here for some technical information.  At first I was sad that I had to join rather than lurk.  However, Bernie pointed me in the direction of the info I needed.  Since I was signed up I started researching about games and reading posts. etc.  I realized that many of the people here were pretty cool and had a similar sense of humor to my own.  I started getting more active and can truly say this is THE BEST video game forum on the net.  It's not without some typical whining and such but nothing like I've seen on other forums.  It seems being a lover of NEC hardware takes a more "sophisticated" taste.  Thank you all for being awesome.  Except Nullity... that guy is a couple cans short of a six-pack.

Desh, Sorry, but my NES sits on top of a SUPER BETA, and that NES has an original dustcover. Super Beta, still functions, too.

It's to the Water Wiggle, and Mr. Bucket's Balls, "Gauntlet", with ya, for being in the wrong thread, posting such a long post!

Not a good enough response. Expect this;

I joined only recently, but I am a long time PCE/Turbo fanboy. Got my first (used) Turbografx in 1990. Bernie showed me the forums on facebook and I promptly joined. I knew this place was here, but was never a big forum guy (with the exception of the neo-geo.com forums and I barely posted there anyway). But this seems like a good crowd of knowledgeable and passionate folks and I'm glad to be here.

Sarumaru... September, 2014, this thread... Where is Nullity, and his hose...

[esadajr]

I wish I knew about this place earlier. Still, it's been a great two and a half years, even in that short period of time I feel like I knew you guys since a very long time.

What's that, Nullity's Caddyshack country club? OK, the hose;
