[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB Turboplay August/September 1990]

Hello Everyone.

If any of you have a spare Turboplay Magazine August/September 1990 that want to sell,  I'll be interested.

Thanks in advance

[Off-Topic / Happy New Year Everyone]

We are all here because we share the same passion "NEC Consoles" Lets gather together to reminisce about good times gone by and and let the best of those times be the engine that moves our desire to set a new goal or to dream a new dream. Happy New Year to all! 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

An excellent game [Bloody Wolf] indeed. Thanks for the updated review.

Damn! Tempted already

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Favorite Systems of All Time]

Damn! late on this thread 

Here are my Favorites
1- Commodore Amiga (Love those Psygnosis games prefer to play the Beast on my Amiga than on the TGCD)
2- Turbografx/PCE
3- Neo Geo AES
4- NES
5- Sega CD

Those are my favorites because stopped buying game consoles after the N64, those modern 3D games make me so dizzy 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

I liked the Turbo Express video, great review indeed.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: turbografx 16 promo disk find]

Awesome, something interesting about the TG16! Makes me remember C+C music Factory.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Cdrom ode up for preorder]

Awesome! but I think we all agree that the asking price is high.  Hopefully this will brake the ice and will allow us in the future to play CD images out of an SD card or USB on a less expensive add-on 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.]

Street Fighter brings back good memories. Love that game

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pics from Video Game Summit today]

Cool, nothing better than playing on the good old CRT Tv's  but damn! those prices 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Wtb: supergrafx?]

Its you hard earned money so you decide on what to spend it. People may have differen opinions regarding spending or not on a Supergrafx. But at the end what really matters is that you'll be the one that will be enjoying or not enjoying the system.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Off the Wall prototypes released]

Omar at SMSPower has released prototype dumps of this game for Game Gear and PC-Engine.  The PCE version isn't as complete as the one currently(?) for sale for $1000s, but it'll do.

Thanks, Omar.  I know how expensive proto-saving can get!

Awesome thanks for sharing

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Nec New Interactive Display Technology CES 1991]

I was looking at the Aug/Sep 1991 Turboplay magazine and on the Summer CES 1991 article it mentions the Nec Interactive Display Add-on for the Turbografx.  Even mentions that NEC had a demo on their booth.  Is there any info on what was this addon?
Heres the article that mentions it

I believe there is a brief view of NID on display in CES video that has been linked to multiple times over the years.

NID = GOTO 01:10

If you go back 11-14 years, you'll find old threads with me asking questions about what NEC did with the NID tech....

What is hilarious is that I know I took screenshots of some dude wearing a TG-16 JACKET in the video, but I can't find any stills of the NID demo/display! My priorities are all screwed up!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Supergrafx top Cover]

I actually got an extra shell with mine, though the top part of the shell had a crack in it as well. It was smaller but towards the front. I can get you pictures tomorrow if you want. Sounds like yours might be cracked a little more than mine.

Thanks, yes mine is cracked to the point you can see the PCB

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB Supergrafx top Cover]

Does anyone have a Supergrafx for parts thats willing to sell? Top plastic cover on mine is not on the best condition (cracked)

So if anyone has the top plastic cover or a supergrafx for parts that its willing to sell please let me know

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: This community rocks, thank you so much...]

Awesome guys. Stories that motivate

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

This is one of the reasons why everything Turbografx/PC Engine related had been skyrocketing in price. 
I saw this The IGS Express Turbografx-16 Newsletter on ebay sell for $48.77 on 5/21/2017

http://www.ebay.com/itm/201923788030?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Then its now again listed on Ebay  (Different seller) for $149.99

Yes thats why Atari fall from the same cliff

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo plays, Turbo Forces, and Duo world magazines for trade]

Just some asshole selling a patched iso on a cdr. I reported it, not that it really matters.

Interestiing, well done because someone without knowlegde that the game was Japan only would had probably wasted a lot of money on a burned ISO.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Turboplay magazine]

Indeed they're getting expensive   . These two sold for $82 & $76

such bullshit.  even if they sold, its moronic.  paying that for what?  16 pages of 25 year old information?   I assume about 5 mins of searching and these are all available online to read.  the mags are toilet paper.

Agree    I think they keep rising prices because they know that sooner or later someone will buy it at those inflated prices.

Yes it was! We must ACT NOW!

This is the brilliant part: "good for anyone that purchased theirs through other means and wants peace of mind in know that they have a receipt for it."

Brilliant.

Brilliant indeed!

They're expensive, at least last time I checked they were. Couldn't believe what they were selling for. Im glad I got mine free

Thanks for your reply. Indeed they're getting scarce and expensive almost everything retro had been skyrocketing in price. 
  Hope that someday like the sinuous wavelength graph it will reach a maximum amplitude then prices will start dropping.  Lol just dreaming

Interesting story! Congrats on your find.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Retrobright works on HuCards]

Retr0bright works really well in bringing back the original white shine of ABS plastics. Last year I tried RetroBrite on my Commodore A1200. Worked wonders but after a while it started yellowing again but not as  bad as before.

So started looking for more info when I saw the yellowing coming back and found this post with very interesting info https://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/retrobrite-the-yellow-strikes-back-t6084.html
