Sounds like i got a good deal on the turbo booster!
« on: December 05, 2007, 05:20:46 AM »


On ebay, came with the tg-16, 2 controllers, rf unit (into the garbage), 3 games (i didn't have neutopia) and a TURBO BOOSTER PLUS! Usually they go pretty expensive I've heard, so did I make out ok?

PS- Didn't come with an AC adaptor, but I just use my Sega Genesis one..or will that f up my Turbo?
PPS- I've had a turbo for like 10 years, but I got it in shit shape..figured an upgrade wouldn't hurt

It's hard to determine whether or not you got a good deal without knowing what you paid.

Like Nat said, it depends on what you paid (obviously), though the Turbo Booster can be bought seperately in the $20 range.  I can't answer your AC adapter question, but if you want the real deal, then you could always buy a new one from Aaron.

Damn I just noticed..whoops! I paid $40 for it all. I used a Genny AC every time for my Turbo and it worked fine, just wondering if it's healthy to do so.

Why do you need a big piece of plastic to only hold 2 HuCards?

Not a bad deal for $40.

Uh, maybe for the A/V jacks.  :roll:

Was that $40 when all was said and done or did they hit you for an arm and a leg on shipping?

$40 is a good deal though, for sure. Good deals on eBay for domestic stuff are rare.

You'd think that domestic would be cheaper than imports!  :? I imagine it was back in the day  :-k

YEah, a lot of imports fetched a pretty penny in the 90's.  Funny how times change.

Yeah shipping was 15 bones. The guy put the header "Turbo Grafx16" for his auction and a buy-it-now so I snapped it up before someone else could. I got it in the mail today, and it works lovely..I haven't tried out the save thingy. How is it accessed?

Your game has to support it. I think Neutopia does, I can't remember. I know for a fact Neutopia II does.

Just find an option in your game to create a save state. In Neutopia you have to visit a special person in a house or something.  You probably have other games that support it, but I know for a fact you have Neutopia. :)

EDIT: Also, many games that don't let you create a save state still save high score tables for all of eternity.
