TurboGrafx-16 @Software Etc. (Stills from training video)

[DragonmasterDan]

I read the sign as "Now Only"

It makes me wonder a bit about the timeline. I thought it was still 159.99 or so around 1991. And I thought the video was from 1991 as no sign or mention of Super NES was made.

It totally does. HUGS FOR EVERYONE

[esteban]

And what could possible come after that? THE PRICE OF 99.99 - still waiting for hugs.

Half a hug was a fair, I thought

Yes, that was the next piece to tackle: the year the footage was shot:

(Make sure the "$" remains in there)

If you follow this link, it sorts by price. We know the TG-16 is $99.99.

August 1991 editorial lists this...but we can look to see if earlier ads/catalogs list an earlier moment for a $99.99 TG-16.

Edit: here is the same "news", but in a different magazine.

Also, the video is clear enough to see Genesis games...identifying titles can help us get a ballpark guess.

Half hugs don't work. How bout a tug?

Yeah, I saw Sonic noted a few places so I figured this had to have been shot in 1991 in those Summer months after Sonic came out but prior to the Super Nintendo. I also noticed the Altered Beast model Genesis on the shelf which was phased out not too soon afterwards.

Seriously.

[Gentlegamer]

That video was too wahjah for me.

So, am I safe if I note that this footage was shot in first half of 1991? I don't care when the training video was actually released...I just want to date the raw footage.

I want that big-ass TurboGrafx-16 sign.

Also, why are the screen caps tilted?

[NightWolve]

Also, why are the screen caps tilted?

Oh come on, it's an alternate style, esteban's trying to be flashy, stylish, produce atypical web presentations, etc.



In moderate use, it's cool. I guess it could get annoying if overused though.

It's not too different from these:



Why must everything be straight, Joe ?? Can't some things be crooked/tilted, some of the time ??
