[Fighting Street / Black Friday Rant (BFR)]

Local store has an amazing selection of PCE / TG16 games, but all are priced insanely high. Worse than eBay BINs. Awhile ago some collector sold them his entire collection for top dollar, probably an instant regret as barely anything has sold.

$1,000 CDN for Air Zonk CIB
$1,500 CDN for Terraforming CIC
$280 CDN for Valis III
$1,800 CDN for Hero Tonma CIB (rough)
$3,000 CDN Soldier Blade (Sealed)

Just to name a couple that instantly come to mind, plus 5% GST.

The store has been pushing this "Big Black Friday Sale", 10% off or something stupid like that. But people are going ape shit over this. Local gamers who repeatedly browse the store are so used to seeing these ridiculous price tags, that they're jumping all over this 10% deal. Which is really only 5% because of GST.

$2,850 CDN for a sealed Soldier Blade??! Oh the savings!!! I feel a lot of Canadians into TG16/PCE overlook online prices, because of import charges and shipping fees. Which is really too bad, because it allows local stores like this to gouge the fuck out of people. Thinking if they don't buy this today, they'll either have to pay more for it tomorrow. Or never find it again.

This place is really something though, by far the worst prices i've ever seen.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Silent Debuggers Raffle]

(Ends Sep 30th 11:59PM MT)

Always wanted to do a raffle here, i've been quite lucky with finding TurboGrafx lately and I would like to pass it on.

Comment if you'd like to enter, everyone is allowed (one entry per Turbro). People here are pretty good, but just be mindful that some members who only have a few TG16/PCE games might appreciate winning more than others.

Winner will have their new game shipped letter mail through Canada post.

When the raffle closes i'll announce a time / date for me to live stream the raffle, with a verified randomizer.

Good luck everyone !

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / TG16 CD unit memory "Recharge"]

Is this true?? I've never lost any game saves before, but I always have my CD unit plugged in. And there's definitely been 2 week intervals where I haven't "turned on" my console (like the manual says). I also remember reading in the TG16 CD's manual telling players not to leave the system constantly plugged in. But searching high and low online, I didn't find any stories / insight to support doing this.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / VGA grade my PCE converter?]

Can I still get a VGA 85+ on this?



Recently swapped my old TG16 with a another one, and I guess the pins were wayy tighter. Did some damage on my converter, don't really care but just curious if this has happened to anyone else before? I've been playing PCE consistently on this converter with a couple different TG16's now for awhile.

If I have time later, i'll cut an inch or so from the converter label so it's not so much of an eye sore.
Or maybe i'll just leave it as a battle scar

[Off-Topic / Star Wars: The last Jedi]

Anyone have thoughts on the new trailer??
I know i'm really looking forward to more material being released

Made this pic for a group chat i'm in, they seemed to have mixed opinions. Partially because of pre conceived notions from the last movie, and all the "puzzle piece events".

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Ever wonder what the inside of a hucard looks like?]

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Sweet TG16 lot I found in the wild]

I came into contact with someone who used to distribute/work with SNK back in the 90's/early 2000's, and now he has a bunch of TurboGrafx 16 stuff for sale. Only problem was he lives like 9 hours away.

Guy lives out in the middle of nowhere, so when he posted locally he got some pretty bad offers. He told me he's been burnt in the past by the whole Paypal business/shipping thing, so he prefers local. And he was offering a great price for a cash in hand deal. The guy said if he's already shipping, he might as well go on Ebay and get full value; which makes sense I guess.. but I wasn't going to let that happen!

It sounds ridiculous flying to meet him, but I had access to some pretty cheap flights through standyby passes. $85 CAN round trip. So like $60 USD lol. Saves me money and time, so I said why not?

In the airport as we speak waiting for my flight out, but here it is

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Anyone wanna do a weird trade for a TwinBee?]

So unlike the title suggest, I recently obtained a copy of TwinBee through a buddy. But when I finally had the chance to sort through my mail, I saw that the game is factory sealed still.

I don't have ANY appreciation for sealed stuff, but some people do I guess? Anyways though, I just want a playable copy for myself. I'll do a straight trade +postage with anyone for a CIC copy of Twin Bee in good condition.

I know it's not a big deal, if nobody cares i'll just open it whenever i'm playing PCE next. But if someone would appreciate the cellophane more than me, shoot me a message.

Here's some pics:

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Favorite PCE cover art?]

I'm curious to see some other PCE cover arts that the community likes! Is there any cover art that really stand out?

Browsing through there's so many amazing artworks, but these ones really stood out to me. As well I threw in some SMG covers i really like as well to make you guys turn your head 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Cadash ports]

Any other Cadash fans out there? I believe the arcade is the definitive port. But between these, are there any hardline opinions? I have my own, but curious as to what other people think

[General Gaming / Princess tomato on the NES?]

Recently found this game, thought it looked ABSURD so I had to pop it into my nes. After 15 minutes of playing I was pleasantly surprised  O:)

I'm not sure what type of game you would call this, but it's kind of like a point-and-click adventure. A game type I have never given a chance to (still haven't played beyond shadow Gate ).

To say the least, the dialogue is hilarious. I've been very busy with work lately so I haven't had time to play it more, but I was curious if anybody else has. I haven't really read anything about its gameplay before, so its price tag probably reflects its rarity rather then it's playability. As I believe it's closer to $100 

And i mean.. any game with that fucking bee i have to try haha

Has anyone else had experiences with this title?? Here's some eye candy aka vegetarian porn

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Favorite Bonk soundtrack?]

I'm probably heavily biased because of nostalgia but, I can't get enough Bonk. Reading there was a Bonk's RPG in progress made me extremely anxious to learn more. Obviously it never came out, and years later when i got into PCE I was disappointed to learn that it never even was released in JPN.


But ANNNYYYWWAAYS what's everyones favourite soundtrack from a bonk game? Mine is personally from Bonk's Adventure climbing king Drools tower. Never played Bonk 3 on CD, so maybe i'm missing out there.

Here's a utube link of mine:

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Fans of kiki kai kai?]

Always quite enjoyed the Pocky/Rocky series on super famicom, didn't even realize there was an original release for the PC Engine.

Looked up a couple videos/gameplays. Looks good, but has anyone played through it before?

Here's a pic of me beating Pocky 1 solo, hardest game i've beat to date.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PC Cocoron]

Never even knew there was a planned sequel to this game, I read a Facebook discussion about it and began my own research. Sounds like there's an individual with a prototype that refuses to dump the game or something? 

If there are truly only two evils in this world, i believe he is both arrogant and gluttonous.

Only pictures i could find are extremely vibrant and look great. Truly a shame

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Magical Chase loose value?]

Anyone have any insight? I can only search eBay sold listings so far.

$2,140 was the last one sold on eBay in April.

Would $1,550 be a decent price to pick it up loose?

I know its an overhyped game, but besides that. I'm curious to talk numbers

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Did I get a decent deal?]

Picking up a TurboExpress (recapped) with its original box for $230USD and the tuner attachment.

Good deal? Fair? I haven't bought one before

Doesn't come with the bonk 3 in the picture haha
