NEC Console Resource
Hello all!
As is customary, I thought I would throw together an introduction post.
I've been an on again off again game player/collector since the 90s however I sold most of my stuff back in 2007 when I thought I was done with this whole video game thing. Then, in 2010, someone gave me an NES along with a small pile of games which reignited the collecting/playing spirit. Many, many, many, games and consoles later, here I am.
I recently got into TG16 collecting after getting to play a bunch of TurboGrafx at the Midwest Gaming Classic. After a few SHMUPS I knew I had to get one. Since finding a TG16/Duo in the wild or even at my local gaming stores is pretty much impossible, I resorted to eBay and picked up a TG16 with Pac-Land. The RF that shipped with it was an NES RF adapter (that didn't actually work) so I ended up modding two USB header pins and a set of composite A/V cables to allow for composite video which has worked well.
Since then, I have picked up Kieth Courage and Final Lap Twin (Quest mode has me totally intrigued, though I haven't been able to win a single race).
I anticipate that collecting for this system will go slow due to the higher prices of games, so I'm looking to be a bit selective about what I pick up and try to get things that I'll actually, you know, play.
