So, what kind of TG collector are you?

[guyjin]

Didn't the turbo masters de-cannonize timeball?  :-"

[nat]

What's bad about Gunboat? Sure, it's not for everybody, but the missions are fun.

[Zeon]

NO! You stay away from me, crazy man!!!! Seriously in what universe is Gunboat playable let alone, dare I say it, enjoyable? Never thought I would ever use those two words in the same sentence. Arggh my heads hurts. Timeball a good game? Gunboat fun?

Is it April 1st? No damn, must have been sucked into an alternate universe where crappy games are good and good games are crap. Please someone tell me Bonk's Adventure, Ninja Spirit, Bloody Wolf, and Dungeon Explorer are all still kick ass games!

No, we de-cannonized JJ and Jeff.

Next you're going to tell me you think Deep Blue sucks. Seriously though, what was so bad about Timeball? Couldn't figure out the 2nd puzzle?

[Zeon]

Deep Blue doesn't suck, but there are far better shooters on the pce out there. It's a little bland to be honest, but it does have its merits. The colors rock and I like the setting a lot better than the typical, bland space setting. I like Blazing Lazers and Fantasy Zone better though. What doesn't rock is the music, the title screen's music alone is enough to make my ears bleed, and that's rare with the tg16's chip music. To be honest though, I don't play too many shooters not really my favorite genre, so there are a ton of tg16 shooters I have not played.

thus proving your incompetence as masters and the necessity of your overthrow.

Damn! I wish I had all of these sucky games so that I could chime in! 
Out of Timeball, Deep Blue, Gunboat and Drop (Drop it Like it's Hot) Off- the only one I have is Drop Off- and it's not the worst "turbo chip" that I have.  Battle Royale, Champions Forever Boxing, Davis Cup Tennis, Double Dungeons, Night Creatures, Order of the Griffon, Shockman, Tricky Kick, Turrican, TV Sports Basketball and Yo Bro- all of these I find less playable than Drop Off! 
If I can include japanese hucards- Titan, Genpei Toumaden and Bullfight are quite deserving of the hall of shame as well.  HAHA I probably listed all of Esteban's faves!

Well of those you mentioned, here's how it is imo:
Battle Royale: Man this was a blast to play back in the day, but it hasn't aged well at all. I tried to play it the other day, but couldn't get into it. I was like NOOO, where's all of the ass that this game used to kick?

Champions Forever Boxing, David Cup Tennis, and TV Sports Basketball: Can't comment on these because like most sports games, I avoid them like the plague.

Double Dungeons: I remember my brother and dad seeing the adverts for this game and hyped their expectations for this game up way to high, only to be sorely disappointed. I on the other hand found it somewhat enjoyable. Sure it gets kinda old fast, but it's good for a simple mindless maze crawling game.

Night Creatures: Haven't really tried to play this one either, just a brief play of it via Magic Engine, so can't comment on it.

Order of the Griffon: Not a bad game really. Sure it takes a lot of patience and time to get into, but once you do you will be hooked. Well that is, if D&D type rpgs are your kind of game; it's not for everyone. We still have old maps and passwords my dad wrote down in a drawer at home. My dad played many hours on this one, though admittingly, it hasn't aged well.

Shockman: Ugh, for a megamanesque type game it's not too terribly bad at all It's just, well, it gets old quick. The stages are boring, bosses are not that hard and there really isn't too much substance to this game. I do however love the first stage's music (after you get past the "prologue"), and the third one on the PCE-CD is awesome!

Tricky: Hey! Don't be bad mouthin' one of my favorite games for the TG-16! Seriously though I really do love Tricky Kick, there is a lot of fun to be had there (WAAAAY better than Timeball), although you need to wait at least 3 months after beating it to want to play it again so you forget the solutions to the puzzles.

As for Turrican and Yo Bro, I have played neither nor ever had the desire to. Turrican doesn't look too bad, but Yo Bro? Damn, hell no.

[Sinistron]

Also I must add that I'm a hoarder as well.  I will not part with any of my games anymore- from now until I die.  I'd say that perhaps I'd like to be buried with a cart or two- but thinking it over that'd be pretty creepy and childish.  I'd rather leave my collection in my will to whoever makes me laugh the most when I'm old and toothless and can't walk and in need of someone to change my diapers.

Same here man, I refuse to sell any of my games no matter how crappy. I find it hard to even part with dupes.

[Necromancer]

Seriously though, what was so bad about Timeball? Couldn't figure out the 2nd puzzle?

Timeball sucks because it's boringly repetitive, not much fun, and not at all a treat to look at.  And by the way, I made it all the way to the fourth puzzle.

Exactly! Give this man a prize, he actually knows what he is talking about!

I'm a pretty cheap collector, more of a gamer.  I only feel compelled to buy games that I have some interest in playing (none of the TV sports collection for instance).  When purchasing said games, I would prefer they have a case/manual, but I couldn't care less about a box - I just don't want to store them as a stack of cards.

I am a bit anal about cases and what not.  I bought a set of CD cases just to replace the covers on my TG-16 cases which were scratched.  I'm also seriously contemplating buying a bunch of Keith Courage(s?) to gut for cases for games like Shockman and such which didn't come with one.

As to the more recent discussion....

Shockman is great!  Two player type megaman game, what's wrong with that?  Tricky Kick is alright too....

Sounds great on paper! 

Plays like ass.
