Will the Turbo Duo scratch CD's?
« on: February 15, 2015, 02:57:01 AM »
Hi, it may seem like a stupid or pointless question but it keeps f*cking with my mind so i'm gonna ask it anyway. I recently bought a highly regarded CD game and as a collector ofcourse that too factors in into the condition (the CD itself i mean). With Hu-cards i don't think it's a big issue but should i be getting separate CD's for gameplay? It's really a hassle that i'd rather skip but i don't know.

No, they do not.  The only part of the disc that contacts anything is the center ring.

I don't want to scratch anything so I never play.
I sit in front of my imaginary tv, pushing invisible buttons.
My wife somtimes wipe the yellow goo oozing from my mouth.
My kids often play a game of darts on the target they have drawn on my back.
And my dog growls when I stand up

This is....disturbing....even for the Bernie....and as Necromancer would say.  " I am....uncomfortable...."

I know it seems funny and paradoxal in that way that the bare minimum of it's application (playing as opposed to say opening and closing a NES cardboard box all the time) will decrease it's collectability but that's just the way it works.

I know that every now and then my TG16/CD will throw a disc around sometimes when it goes through some of the longer load sections in SCD games. Its that damn spindle in the center not holding on to the disc which allows the disc to spin off camber and hit the platter on the underside of the lid. Havent noticed any scratches being caused from this happening, but I always cringe when I hear it

You clearly don't have the mettle to handle classic gaming.

 What are you thinking!??? You gonna scrape up those beautiful hucard pins. But really, I think obvious answer belongs to obvious question (which is relative, to say).
 
 Also, may you never have a parked laser.


 ..... I used to call my Duo by the nick name - vas ist los. Now I just call it ol' man; it never gets the CD up and working anymore. I think it's time to retire that son'bitsche to the old farm.

Sounds like tears of joy.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no

TRIVIA: an old band that I really liked was called "Scratch Acid"...but they only put out a few records. Not even.
