Well, I never received a confirmation that I was able to post in the forums, but tried today and I am in :)
Just would like to say hello and introduce myself abit. I have been a videogame collector for about 25 years, have been an active member on Digital Press for over a decade, and love the TG16! :)
I had a great collection years ago but unfortunately had to part with it due to debt. Years later I am back on my feet and have been thinking of the Turbografx and all of the fun I had with it over the years, so I decided to re-collect. My only source has been ebay, and WOW how the demand and prices have gone up since I last collected. I decided to collect loose (but excellent condition) hucards now, as I can get them a whole lot cheaper and it seems I can complete a loose collection in no time at all. It is all about playing the games for me, so loose (as long as I have a hucard sleeve) does not bother me one bit at all.
I recently got ahold of Magical Chase and Bonk 3. When I last collected, I had Bonk 3 but just couldn't get my hands on Magical Chase no matter how hard I looked. I ended up overpaying highly, but I just had to jump on it because I didn't want to take the chance that I never find it again (or the price skyrockets even MORE) and I snatched it up.
I am now at about 60 or so USA titles, and only have 34 I think to go? Most are commons, so the collection should be complete in no time. I scored a very nice (and LOUD) Turbo Express from this forum's own Windancer (thanks!) and scored a Turbografx 16 unit, two pads, turbotab and a few games in trade for a Gameboy Light in the DP forums. Needless to say I am back in TG16 gaming bliss :)
Well, that is my little story and just wanted to shout out a hello on my first post.

Welcome to the lunatic's asylum. see ya in chat..
Thanks for the warm welcomes! I have been playing the ol' TG16 quite a bit lately. Just love it. Now to get my wife away from bomberman so I can continue my Dragon's Curse! :lol:
Awesome! Dragon's Curse was a big reason for me loving the TurboGrafx-16! I was a big fan of the master version, so when I played the turbo version I was in heaven. The soundtrack and grafx are really improved imo.
Plus it runs at twice the framerate.
