Speaking of Keith Courage, I've read on another game site that they had to MAKE it a pack-in, because nobody wanted it. Is there any truth to this?

I doubt it, but it's possible.

How could they know that nobody wanted it if it was packed in with the launch systems?  Besides if the game wasn't a pack in and there weren't 5 bajillion copies floating around people wouldn't be so harsh on it.  Hell it's way better than JJ & Jeff and they sold that garbage at full price.

If they knew that everybody would hate it, why would they bother to make so many f'n copies?  A great pack in game will sell systems (just look at Tetris), so it doesn't make sense that they'd go ahead with a known dog.

I like JJ & Jeff a gazillion times better than KC.  To be fair I've never spent quality time with KC.  But JJ&J is hilarious with poop everywhere and wacky stuff like the dinosaurs with gigantic necks and tiny bodies.

Keith courage was obviously a pack-in because they thought that it would help sell the system. It wasn't a bad game, it was able to show the power of the turbo grafx.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

YES!!!  As much as the game itself sucks, the music in JJ & Jeff is probably the hippest stuff on the Turbo.
Track 4 in the HES file is downright funky.

J.J. and Jeff is one of my favorite Turbo games and yes, the music kicks ass! Especially the love boat song - fits the cloud stages perfectly!
