I'm a new Turbografx collector. Welcome Me !

[dqualls187]

Hello everyone. My name is David but you can call me DQ. I made a post in another thread but figured i would officially introduce myself. I'm new to collecting for Turbografx but have a nice little collection going already. I've collected for alot of other systems over the years but Turbografx always eluded me. I never knew anyone who had one growing up and didn't really start thinking about getting one till a few years ago. I finally jumped in last month and bought my first system complete in box with a few games i was wanting! I'm a big shooter fan so some of these were a must!

Here's pics of my Turbo collection so far:





An here's the game collection!







Spent quite a bit on the bundle of Turbo games but it's worth it to me. I've played Soldier Blade and Super Star Solider for a while on my Vita and loved em. Air Zonk was one i had always heard was amazing and always wanted to play.

So far I'm loving the system! Play it everyday after work! Me an my girl have been playing alot of Bomberman as she was always a big fan of the series. Beat Cadash a number of times now! Absolutely love Air Zonk & was finally was able to 1CC Soldier Blade with 1,892,000 points! 

I secured another pretty awesome bundle this past weekend. 2 separate ones actually. First was for a sealed Blazing Lazers and sealed R-Type. The other was a bundle of 4 sealed games. Bonks Adventure, Bonks Revenge, Dragon Spirit & Bravoman. Also included in that bundle was 3 new controllers. Picked up a multitap nib as well!  I'll have to post another pic when i get the new bundle.

Some may think I'm crazy but i plan on opening the games and enjoying them. I just like to get games in as good as condition as possible. Anyway, I hope to meet some cool people here and maybe do some deals in the future!

Welcome aboard!

Why not make video when you open up any of the sealed games you haven't cracked yet?

[dqualls187]

Hey, thanks! 

I may have to. I've never made a video like that so it would be a first. I already opened the sealed Aero Blasters i picked up.

Make videos, post them to Youtube and shock all those dumb collectards for good.

You know what's funny is I've thought about making a YouTube channel dedicated to just that, haha. Ive opened
quite a few rare sealed games over the years.   
I don't know if I'd ever go through with it though. I'm not one to try and seek attention. I don't even have any social network accounts or anything. This is only the 2nd forum I've ever posted on.

Ok, I don't have the silly  Facebook stuff, either. (OR WHATEVER THE NEW THING IS... Instagram? Snapchat? YouPornTube? Pinterest? Tweeter? Blodia? Timeball? Twitter?)

But, simply send me your sealed games and I will make videos as I unwrap them.

Sometimes, I may unwrap myself, too, but we can decide on the show's formula later (see, it should be a series!)


Seriously, though, you can make a video without showing yourself or saying anything.

In fact, if you shot the raw footage, I would gladly create a video from it.

"Sealed games want to be free" could be our tag line or mantra.

Sadly, I really want to do this, but I understand if you are scared.

DON'T BE.

Keep phone/camera steady and film.



YOU HAVE A LOT OF PRESSURE TO DO THIS NOW.

Don't blame me.

TG-16 can be intense.




Welcome, comrade.

Normally I would not have anything nice to say about someone joining to talk about collectard stuff, but if you buy sealed games to open them, you have my support.

[PunkicCyborg]

Cool on the Soldier Blade 1cc. If you got a pic of your high score post it up in the high score thread

[ClodBuster]

If you don't want to create a Youtube channel, I can post the videos for you on my channel as well.

This is how I roll also, I'll buy sealed/new if I can and just open them up and play them.  Welcome aboard!

[dqualls187]

Thanks for the welcome everybody!
Didn't know so many people would be for opening sealed games, lol, I'll try an do a video when I get the new bundle or at least take some good pics!

And I'll definately have to get in on the high score thread! Just set a new score last night on Soldier Blade!    + i tried the Challenge levels for the first time and snapped a pic of all 3 scores!

Can't say I've ever heard the word "Collectard" haha. Does it make me one because i have a collection and came to talk about it? 

[dqualls187]

WTF??? Hahahaha

"Collectard" isn't an entirely derogatory term. Many of us self apply the term. I.e. I have a bunch of CIB games but usually just use my everdrive, I'm such a collectard.

Since you open your sealed games and play them, RJ is pleased and the community will not flog you.

This video just gets better and better.

Which is why you call it a library vs. a collection.  Welcome! Are you related to DJ Qualls?

Jackpot! That's everything i wanted!
