The SCORE of a lifetime!!

[oldskool]

I am so excited about this, I must share!

A friend of mine came over and noticed my game collection.  He asked if I had the Turbografx, and I told him that I used to own one, but not anymore, but that it would be nice to have one again.  He then told me that he had one with a bunch of games that he was going to throw away because he thought that it was just old garbage that no one would want anymore!!  I was like HELLL NOOO I'll take them!!  So he gave them to me.  I offered him some money, he declined. 

He gave me a Turbografx-16 w/booster, a TurboExpress w/tv + car adapter, about 40 hucards, 6 controllers, and a turbotap..  for FREE!!! 

So I took all the stuff home, wiped everything down, cleaned the pins on all the games, and basically tried to run all the games and both systems, controllers, the tap, everything to check the condition.  Everything seems to work fairly well really, I will start another thread about some of the tech problems.  Most of it are common things.

OK, here is a list of the games that I got.
Not sure which ones are rare and whatnot, I did end up with 3 dupes, so if anyone wants to trade some of their dupes for mine, that's cool.

hi..and nice frens you have^^

[nectarsis]

  DAMN nice haul...you have some real winners in there.  Man your friend deserves a nice steak dinner (or whatever trips their trigger).

[Zeon]

Hell ya oldskool, some damn fine games, a few stinkers, but you sure can't beat free. I can't believe he was gonna throw it all away! Luckily you came to save the day.

BTW if you could bring yourself to part with a copy of victory run, i might be interested! Oh and i could always use an extra controller seeing as you have 6!

Now for a few pictures...





Some pictures of some of the rest of my collection (note: no picture of the Atari+games, and many of my consoles)
I also have about 30 more PS1 games in a cd case somewhere (they are all missing the jewel cases)

  Nice score dude!  Man, I sure wish I had friends like that! lol!

[WoodyXP]

That's awesome, and you lived to tell about it!  If somebody offered me a free haul like that I'd probably die of shock. 

[termis]

That's probably the best Turbo/PCE score I've heard of to date.  You can't really beat free!

That's some cool friend you have -- hope you take the dude out for a beer on a regular basis.

WIN for placing Soldier Blade at the top of that stack- not only imo is it the best game in the lot- but it's arguably the 3rd or 4th most expensive american hucard now...

This friend of yours- a great friend but a damn fool.

Nice haul oldskool!! 

Maybe I can convince my friend to give me his SMS and games for free. hehe. Highly unlikely.

That's a good friend you have there, but he needs his arse kicked (in a rousing game of Bomberman '93) for even thinking of trashing such a lovely collection.

Yup, Bomberman '93 and Soldier Blade are probably the rarest games in that haul. Good stuff, and you can't beat free.

You are lucky to have a friend like that. People nowadays are dicks.
