True gamer there.  Flying for games is serious.

That is an excellent find. Congrats, man!

The Turbo-Grafx box alone takes me back to the good ole' days. I remember walking through Kay Bee toys and seeing all three 16-bit consoles in the glass case. The TG section wasn't nearly as prominent as Sega's and Nintendo's was, but it had a little nook carved out at the tail-end of the case. As usual, boxed consoles were placed at the bottom; there were four TG-16's compared to the dozen or so SNESs and Gennys.

Oh, if I could do the late 80's/early 90's all over again...


I love hearing stuff like this. I only have extremely vague memories of the Canadian store RadioShack carrying some stuff; nothing crazy.

For some reason I was picturing a "nook" large enough to walk inside and look around. The walls covered with boxed games, and kiosks plugged in showing off games.

Thanks man, still haven't checked out Falcon yet. But i've been told its name should be "sky boat"

I don't think you understand what a "lot lizard" is.  Or maybe you do, and that's how you funded your hobby...
