[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Can Pcenginefx beat all of the licensed TurboGrafx-16 games in 2016? (49/134)]

You can knock it up to 50 now! I finally finished through Bomberman this evening. (The version on the Gate of Thunder SuperCD)

The pictures are not the best, my aging camera is not very good at taking screen shots.

Went through Neutopia last week when I was stuck in the house due to the snow storm. I use a modded PCE Duo-R with a Scart to RGB adapter.


The RGB adapter has started to act up though. I first thought it was the laser, since I noticed the screen acting up whenever there was a non-action, cinema, moment while playing Ys I&II. Now I've noticed it on HuCards though. It doesn't happen when I use the original composite cable. You can see it here how it warps the text page in the funny "Take me now" screen:


I should have some free time this weekend. I'll try to go through Bomberman if no one else is working on it.

Thought I would resurrect this thread and make a post.
I was thinking about this topic today as I came home from work after I drove past the where the local 'Mom n' Pop' video rental store used to be in town. The thought popped in my head "I wonder if they ever rented out TurboGrafx-16 games?" back when they were open. I used to rent NES titles there all the time as a kid (and practically wore out their copies of Mega Man 3 and 4). I cannot recall ever seeing anything that would have resembled a TG-16 game (I didn't even know the system existed at the time). They never really had a lot of 16-bit titles, I don't remember seeing a lot of SNES or Genesis stuff there. They did NES titles on their shelves until around the time they closed in 1997 or 1998. I can remember renting games like Panic Restaurant, Little Samson, and Chip n' Dale 2 and playing them over the weekend when my cousin already had a N64 and kept raving about 3d games. I would never imagine those NES games would command the values they do now.
It's cool to read from forum members their stories from seeing stores that did carry Turbo stuff. It must have been neat to have rentals shops that carried that kind of variety!

My copy of Neutopia has a rental shop sticker on the manual and HuCard sleave from "Flagship Video" out of Oxford, PA. Though you'll notice the item #s don't match. It makes me wonder what other stuff they carried.
