[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Has anyone tried this?]

I use this,

I got it from someone on eBay. They were making and selling them for around $20, I think, at the time. Been a couple of years. Works great. I get a very colorful sharp picture. And yes that is black electrical tape wrapped around that connection. It works for me.

Not sure when I purchased this but I knew what I was getting. I could not handle the price of the real thing, being about $450 USD or more. And I wanted a hard copy, so reproduction was a good option for me. I think I purchased this for about $45USD. This is like a thick PC board. Not like a HuCard at all.




I sort-of like the case and small art insert. I wonder if I could find these for purchase. I would get them for all my HuCards.

Hmmmm.......
I am the type of gamer that has to hold it in your hands, tangible, solid, all a part of the experience. Of course I was into the TG16 when it was still on the shelf and the "battle" was between the other two guys. So that was when I attained most of my TG16 collection. Prices, for me, was comparable to the "other guy's" carts. There were those occasional sales, and I did get a few bargains at the end. Over the years adding to my stash, I have considered, $10 to $30 good prices.
What I consider one of my best moves was grabbing up a PC Engine, the original. You can get a good deal on eBay for one of these, plus get a homemade adaptor for those RCA plugs. And you can pick up a couple of games, all this, I think, for around $100, if you continue to hang around eBay. If you can find a Core Grafx II for something reasonable, that would be the best path, needs all the wires and controller in the package.

This is the easiest way to enter TG16 gaming. I think if you go head over heels at that point, you will not have any trouble saving up the cash and diving in deeper with some kind of DUO setup. I will seriously, at times, consider $40 or $50 for that hard to attain game, and finally go for it. Haven't embraced anything with that $100 plus price tag yet. (Used the word yet, which does not rule that out) But the cheapest route, my experience, for a lot of games, has been the PC Engine road. And you can always look at a game on youtube to get an idea how it plays. It can be a decision maker.

And there is just something about holding those Hucards in your hands that there are no words to express.

Got these as Christmas gifts. Busy working my way through Persona 4 story mode right now.

I remember my 1993 Turbo Christmas very well. My wife surprised me with a Turbo Express. Yes I still have the receipt!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: bonks adventure packed in with tg16]

I purchased my Turbo Grafx 16 back in the early 90's. It had the Bonk pack-in game.



This is the copy that came with my system.
