Pop cultural references to TG-16

[Punch]

Did Bullfrog Productions' staff obey regularly? I bet Molyneux played a lot of boxyboy.



I'm serious, the only console that the icon of Simon Hunter could possibly be is the PC Engine... And the game was made in 1989 so it's a possibility.

Ha! Amazing, now I cannot UNSEE a PCE! But the controller, what's up with that?

We must investigate further, because, quite honestly, if that's not a PCE, then I want to know what the heck it is!

 

STATUS: I fear this will turn out to be an obscure EuroGadget (like a Pachinko controller for an AMIGA, or a Speccy, or a CD32 prototype, or a Gizmondorola handheld (prototype, again)...)

[MotherGunner]

It's an "A" and call it a day.

[Punch]

It even has only one controller! The weird controller could be resulted from really low resolution and limited palette (pink hucard?!?)... I'm still positive that it is a PCE.

I searched for the credits online to some clarification of the icon and I only found "Undetermined - Simon Hunter"... he's also credited as an artist on Atari ST Powermonger, but that gives me no clue. That's it I'm sending an e-mail to Molyneux.

SIMON HUNTER must have been interviewed by someone. AND HE DECLARED HIS LOVE FOR PCE IN SAID INTERVIEW.

[Punch]

I heard he likes Gunboat.

He's an artist at several games, so the icon is really a PCE or some obscure artist equipment (ancient tablet, etc.)

[esteban]

We need more EUROPEANS to chime in and tell us if that is a PCE or some common household item found only on your side of the Atlantic.

Seriously.

This is pretty neat. Print it out, cut and fold.

If you read the post, you'll see that TG-CD was the inspiration for the Adol "Boxpunk", but the site offers many, many other characters from various games.

*Yes, he spells it with an apostrophe. We can forgive him.

Necrobump because I'm hoping someone would be able to:

(1) find this original blog post —UPDATE: I found original blog post, but sadly no Adol template images were saved at archive.org (at least, I have yet to find it)

(2) find the template (adol001.png?) for the ADOL OF Ys Book I & II BoxPunx (similar to cubeecraft).

Why?

Well, I want complete this page....

Aside from being on the TG box, Zack Morris was a huge fan of Bonk and frequently had fantasies of his smooth skull.

Can someone here tell me what the deal was with those Pandemonium puzzle contests?

I remember seeing them in EGM and other gaming mags in the early-mid 90s.

I never entered, but the one in the magazine was always easy and I knew for sure there had to be a catch. What was it?

Ask, and you shall receive: 15 Years of Not Winning...

I won't spoil anything for you... it's worth reading

Holy crap! I remember entering one of these.

I never noticed that post, before.

Nice article, I didn't realize the same type of ads ran into the 00's, but that's not surprising, since I stopped reading video game magazines after 16-bit was dead.

That's a good article. I had forgotten about those ads. I remember them, though. I was taught early, "If it seems too good to be true...", so, I never bothered entering.

Had it been free to enter, I'd probably have entered.

I still think that the icon was a PCE. I want to believe

in Rumble in the Bronx, the little cripple kid is playing a GT If I remember right

And in Enemy of the State.

Is that the one where some sort of chip was hidden inside the Express?
