boxes ? and some other questions
« on: July 08, 2015, 03:28:37 AM »
I know about turbografx-16 boxes.  :-"
but i didnt know that some CD games had one too until recently.  :shock:

so does it mean that every cd games had one ? i hope not ](*,)
out of my 30 cd games only one seem to have a box..
and i thought it was a HU-card until yesterday.  :oops:

--> Lord of the rising sun
didnt notice that huge CD label printed on front at first ...
must had eye cancer at that time or something like it

Almost all CD titles branded as regular (non-super) CDs had boxes, with Splash Lake, Vasteel, and Buster Bros. being the exceptions.

If you wanted to get as many boxes as you can, then finding out that there are many more than you thought should be a good thing.

If you were happy collecting what you thought existed and have no emotional attachment to a series of cardboard boxes you weren't aware of before yesterday, then you shouldn't worry about possessing them.

Let her play Bonk.  Bitches love Bonk. B)

At least, that's the only one I can get m'lady to play, other than Granola Snake (Gomola Speed).  Make sure you start her on the first one, though.  The second & third are a more cutesy...ironically, my wife didn't care for that. x_x
Play Turbografx.
Play the Turbografx. PLAY
THE TURBOGRAFX!!!!!!

Buh buh buh, I have almost all teh games evar.  I R TEH BESTEST COLLECTR!!

I think there are something like 110 boxed games total; 84 of them being hucards and the remainder being CD games.

Games that my better half loves playing together with me and friends:
Salamander.
And Bomberman 94. 'Cause nothing gets better than cute penguins dancing to the battle mode music.

It's all about playing the games.

...and finger blasting the boxes and manuals.

EDIT: I second the Bomberman series. Splash Lake too.
