UK tv presenter Jonathan Ross (he is a very cool and funny guy!) has a Turbografx, he mentioned it on tv once..He loves comics and says he has every single console that was ever released. I'm going to try and find the clip on you tube! :)

I remember reading about Matthew Sweet and his pride of owning a Turbo Express.  I think it was mentioned in a Rolling Stone interview in the early 90s.

Herman Li from Dragonforce is a huge PCE fan.

Indeed, one of their music videos shows Herman Li playing with a PC Engine controller. They never show what game he is playing (if I recall).

I saw him here in town last year. He's put on about 100 lbs but he still sounds fantastic, which kind of surprised me. Its been 20 years since Girlfriend but the time hasn't made much of a dent in his voice.

He really really hates flying so I think his time in Japan was probably not all as fun for him as the stories make it sound.

Speaking of which, Devine Intervention and Girlfriend are some of the best sounding "guitar songs" ever recorded. The producer NAILED the sound on those suckers, seriously.

I don't know if this is related, but Kim Kardashian was a huge Zelda fan when she was little.

-1 Turbokarma point for mention a Kardashian
-2 for not mentioning Neutopia.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

I think you might have just discovered a leading cause of erectile disfunction in nerds. Good job.

But seriously, no, that's not related. At all.

I just thought it might be interesting. A supermodel that used to be a gamer is kind of funny. No need to label me as a weirdo. Come on.

Hmm, I'm not sure the word "super" should be used for the word "Kardashian" :)
