Vestcoat for the win, again.

Cutting through like a scalpel.

Great to have you back.

I still feel like a noob because my first system was a Duo (ie: I’m not on the first couple years of this timeline.)

The way I see it, the only way to be a noob is if you got into Turbografx because of either the Wii or videos on youtube

Done.

It all started on eBay for me, very long time ago now. First was a TG16, but then I saw the light and went to PCE.

Ehhh I was labeled a noob despite having a system in 91.  I spent years trying to get more games, but it was not something I could do until I was an actual adult... (haha i remember the days when I was one of the youngest active persons on the forums) and then I was able to start just in time for prices to skyrocket... thus there were a good couple of years of where the frustration on this list starts, I didn't immediately get...I now get it, and wish I didn't. on the upside emulation has also taken off so I can play without throwing out too much cash. . .

What I did was get a PCE Duo, an Everdrive and a pack of CD-Rs. I do have a few real PCE HuCards and CDs, but these days it makes no sense to spend hundreds/thousands when there's a good real hardware alternative.

Youngest forum member here I think, I'm 19. I was 13 when I joined.

Got into the console via Bomberman on the PC. Then I got a Wii and a bunch of virtual console games.

Having to save up my money means a lot of PCE on the laptop. The Everdrive also serves me well.

Can we just put that in our sigs and leave it otherwise assumed at this point?

Interesting. I was 19 when I got my Duo. It’s wild to imagine buying a Duo that’s already older than the person buying it.

Apparently I'm a few months older than the Turbo Duo. When did the black PCE Duo launch?

Hence why I said one of the youngest (24 at the time).  There were a couple other teenagers as members back around 2012ish .  PCE is good however you play.  and yeah it's strange to me too Zeta that a few of the systems I have are as old as I am.

Got the TG16 and Sega Genesis within days of each other in 1989. May have even been Labor Day weekend.

I really liked both but the TG16 won me over completely when I got the CD attachment on Christmas 1990. I have the pics somewhere. I still have the original massive box!  My favorite was Y's I and II of course!

I had the Sega Genesis and the SNES. I had only read about the Turbo Grafx 16 in gaming magazines. There was no internet in those days. I went across the state line into Tennessee and purchased mine off the shelf at a Toys-R-Us. That is were I purchased most of my games that I still have today. My wife gave me the Turbo Express for Christmas that year. I ordered the CD attachment with a money order out of the back of a gaming magazine for $150. They were out so they sent me a replacement, it was a Turbo Duo. I was not disappointed.  It has been in the last bunch of years that I have acquired the PC Engine. The love continues.
