Happy OBEY Day

[slinkyturd]

4 years ago today I purchased my first OBEY gear. A TG16 system and about 10 games for $40, found in the wild. I was reborn that day. Anyone else remember their OBEY Day?

Good deal.  Mine was back in the 90's when some kid from school sold me his Turbo Express and a bunch of games (like 10 loose) for $75.  It ruled so hard and I blew cash on batteries until I got a 3rd party power supply.  It was then stolen and never seen again .  I picked up a loose TG16 for like $5 and never got it to work so it sat in my attic and I think it's still up there somewhere.  I then got me a cheap deal for like $80 for a Tg16 complete with a dirty ass controller and 13 commons.  My Buddy up and decides to give me a boxed Turbo Booster for FREE and then I got me a Modded and Recapped Duo R.  Great site this is.  Great system the Turbo is.  I'm a fan for sure but was never fully evolved with this system until recently.  Shame.  I got way more Atari Jaguar Seat time then on a Turbo.

Sorry Null, you and I are through.  No amount of fantasy lube porn will bring me back to your Kansas hay seed ass to do the nasty in your shit flodded basement.

FYI the mitsubishi lancer evolution was not imported to these United States until 2003 and the IX was not here until 2006 so your story was flawed.  However i was at the motel that day but I was only 13 at the time because it was the 90's but I was dating a man who was much older so he was able to rent the motel room and obviously buy the lube as it was my first time and from what I remember it was like running 60 MPH into a locked door.  No excuse for the Cheetos I have to work on that but I remember you enjoying licking off the cheese from my fingers last we spent time together.


It's over bub let it go.

A PC game that had Bomberman and bomberman 93 on it.

Then a few years later I discovered Turbo games on the Wii virtual console.

I'm only a junior in high school, so I'm sure I don't exactly have a similar experience as anyone else on this forum.

I can't remember when, it was Christmas gift.  I do remember the Turbo CD, spring of 93 it was on clearance sale at Toys R Us along with a few CD games.  I think it was around $50 new for the system.

For the record: Nullity's experiences are not representative of all the "older" folks. Just 75% of them.

Back on topic: Lancer.

I do like the grey, it is quite nice.

Think of it as a cousin to both the TG-16 and the CoreGrafx models (which were dark grey).

Got mine just four or five years ago, but have wanted one since I was a kid and emulated it for years.

As a kid I had a sorta-buddy (he had good toys) who had a Turbo Express but NOT a normal Turbo (the oddness of that did not dawn on me at the time). I think I saw all of two games being played (Kieth and Bonk) and never got to play it (maybe he knew I was using him for his toys). That kind of built a legend in my mind.

Yes, this would have totally created a mystery around the console for me. I would have been absolutely, supremely curious.

I felt this way about the XaviX.

Then I bought one.

It was God in a box of plastic.

No, it wasn't.

TG-16 is slightly better than XaviX.

It sure is Esteban!

I really built the turbo up in my head over those years and have to say, I really wasn't disappointed at all when I finally got the real thing.

For some reason when I emulated it I played a LOT of Final Lap Twin (something about searching random grass spots for car parts appealed to me I guess) and almost nothing else so most of the library was still new to me when I finally got a real TG.

I think I got my TurboDuo sometime in spring of '92, trading in my Gameboy collection to fund its purchase.  It was totally worth it, but I missed my beloved GB games and wished I'd instead had the money to buy the Duo outright for years afterwards.

Have you rekindled the game boy fire since?
