[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Who's still playing their Wii?]

I'm right there with ya, I haven't even touched mine in ages.

I surprised my kids with one right after launch.  I took the day off just to scour the town and find one for them.  Managed to stop at a Best Buy right as the truck pulled in with some.  Hooked it up and left it running for the kids to see when they walked in the door from school.  They loved it for about a few months then never turned it on again.  It sat until my mom (shes in her 60s) saw it and wanted to try Wii Fit, so I gave it to her.  Took it over her house, showed her how to work it and it's never been turned on again since then. It's been YEARS since it's been turned on.  Maybe I'll give her a call and see if she's still using it... lol

He must have read this post because since I posted he dropped the price from $7,999 to 5,700. What a steal!

It's possible,  he is a member here.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: NEC Turbografx-16 UNIT SERVICE MANUAL (Pics up, scans to follow eventually)]

Were you able to get it scanned?

Yep. It's too big to email since I scanned it in 600x600dpi, and since you're walking distance from me, I'm going to make you come get it. lol

I'm a pedobear, quote me properly .

My mistake.

I wanna smash your face in!!!! But will settle for a punching bag 

raging is for the weak

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: NEC Turbografx-16 UNIT SERVICE MANUAL (Pics up, scans to follow eventually)]

It's all greek to me, but that's pretty neato.  Thanks for sharing, Roy.

Most of it makes no sense to me also but hopefully the repair/mod guys find out something helpful.

Interesting note:
Check on page 8. It mentions a "test jig" and a"diagnostic card" so, they must exist. 

[Off-Topic / Re: Daily RANT (What pissed you off today?)]

Was driving my wife to work this morning when some driver, with a handicapped plate, cut across two (empty) lanes and cut me off to get into the left turn lane.  My initial reaction wasn't pretty but the wife isn't a fan of road rage, so she quickly snapped me back into reality.  Anyway, what the hell is going on with drivers these days? Seems like damn near everyone is getting extremely impatient. No room to get in the lane?  No worries, just push your way in and eventually you'll win the game of chicken.  Need to pull out onto a major street but too much traffic?  No worries, drive right out and some chicken will brake for you... 

Seriously WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?

My hometown has a LA collector!

Too bad he probably never played it...

At least this guy has a few Turbo games in the photo.

Is this a real question or just passive aggressive nerd rage?

passive aggressive nerd rage

or was your question also not a real question either? 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: MSR "Factory Seconds"]

Posted a day or two after I paid the $29 price for the good ones you listed on eBay.

I would have bought one of these instead. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TurboGrafx Gaming vs. Stamp Collecting]

I don't mean to spam the board, but I finally got the VS off the main page.

I did it out of love.

For all of about 3 seconds.  Now they're already back up.  lol

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Does anyone own or ever seen one of these???]

i do already have a Turbo arcade machine ;)

Any pics to share?  From what I can tell there are a few different versions.  I'd love to see what exactly you have.

[Off-Topic / Re: Sini passed away]

Typical justice system bullshit.  The criminals have all the rights while the victims have no rights at all.

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

Am I missing something, or did Cotton not come in a box?

It wasn't packaged in a box.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Does anyone own or ever seen one of these???]

Or can anyone recall how they were displayed in shops, Were they set up and running at all?

I remember seeing the Turbo running but it wasn't in anything special other than in a typical glass case.  There are a few kiosks out there. Sparky has one which is pretty amazing.  He's posted a few pics of it here:

https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=5856.0

As well as another pic Sparky posted sometime back, found here:

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Gate of Thunder (TGCD) Vs Thunder Force III (Genesis) - which game is better?]

Roy: since they are nikes...I have to say neither. 

I'd have to agree however when I saw them in the store all sparkly and new for $20, I jumped on it. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Does anyone own or ever seen one of these???]

If memory serves, Roy had one that he sold to Thibaut.

Correct, I had one a couple years ago.

Wondered if any of you guys actually own one of these display stands or have seen one in the flesh, I once saw an ad for someone selling some of the flip pages from the binder.

Did you have any questions about it that I might be able to answer?

Edit: Here is a little bit better of a pic that I took:

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Gate of Thunder (TGCD) Vs Thunder Force III (Genesis) - which game is better?]

My left shoe or my right shoe..  Which is better?

[Fighting Street / Re: PCEngineFX forum members are a bunch of chill, welcoming, cuddle-bugs!]

I can't say that I fully understand but it's pretty damn brave of you Rover.  Be yourself no matter what anyone ever says.  I salute your bravery and hope you find happiness in your own skin.

NEC TurboGrafx TurboDuo VHS Promo Video

While watching the video (at 8:20) there is a Super System Card offer with a contact number of 1 (800) 366-0316.  I gave it a call and sadly it's a distorted voice mail from someone that sounded like Bob. Meh, I tried. 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: 2 Games 1 RAFFLE - WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Turbograf7 doesn't make sense.    

TurboGrafx-16.  1+6 = 7.

This makes more sense to me than Turbografsix.  /shrug

Congrats to the winner!

Which guy was it that was selling the Nazi etched glass thingies?

XRay I  think.

[Off-Topic / Re: The Offical Dick Waving Thread!]

Not in fighting street.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why Xak is mocked and shunned.]

I pray for you at night.

I pray for the little girls you're attracted to.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: John Madden DUO Football]

No ways! I bought it off a private seller on craigslist. 80$ in the Jewel case with manual

Up until a couple months ago you could buy it on Amazon new and sealed for somewhere around $25. You were robbed.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ya Know.....]

Play Raiden, its easier when you're drunk.

[Fighting Street / Re: I just wanted to share in the language it deserves!]

Im glad I don't have the same problem (not playing enough).  I enjoy my Turbo almost daily.

[Off-Topic / Re: Is it really a vacation...]

...when the whole family comes?

Yes.  Might not always seem like it though!

If you could get away for a week all alone, what would you do?  I would rent a swank RV and just disappear into the back roads of our fine country.

It's not swank, it's a Travel Trailer and not an RV BUT it does have a TV with hookups to take Turbo with me once it gets dark.  Camping + Turbo + peace & quiet = win.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TurboStick variants]

I didn't know these hardcases existed until a few years ago when someone posted a pic on the forum.

Pfft.  It's widely known that picture references never helped anyone!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE Golden Axe]

This sad news. I loved this game in the arcade as a kid and have been wanting to pick it up for a long long time. I'll still pick it up eventually but I'm heartbroken to hear this......

Call his bluff.  Give him the neg and you'll be done with it.  It's not like he's going to show up at your door.  But if he does.....

[High Score Records / Re: "Raiden" (HuCard) High Scores]

Roy: your score is and likely always will be safe. Lol

I did get to the last boss on my first ship, die and not beat it with my remaining ships.  Someone could easily beat my score though. Remember, when you beat the game you get 1 mil bonus points, so there are multiple ways for someone to pass me up.

[Off-Topic / Re: Would you date a beautiful woman with 2 kids?]

You fail to see the irony and comedy in the fact that you're commenting on anyones appearance when you leave the house wearing a skin tight pink shirt and a helmet? Fair enough!

[Off-Topic / Re: Would you date a beautiful woman with 2 kids?]

I could care less why you're wearing it, where you are or who you're supposed to be.  You did it to amuse people, it worked....

What the hell does Roy know, though?  Troglodytes never leave their caves.

My crush! I love Thai women

facebook.com/photo/?fbid=506354919455436

This is troublesome.  Her daughter looks not too far off the age of the other girl you posted. 

Im talking about this pic Rover...   You're confusing two different pics.

[Off-Topic / Re: Would you date a beautiful woman with 2 kids?]

Well the Thai girl I know, your judging not one but TWO people from one pic of each. You seem to be the insecure one with pedophilia thats just outright sick. Get your mind out of the gutter and stop hatin'

Sorry if it offends you but you posted a pic of a girl that look like she's 12 saying you have a crush on her. Plain logic says, you like chicks that look like children.  I personally think that's weird.  You find it normal, which means I think you're weird too.

and since when does a CRUSH = LUST ?? A crush is when you know someone already , lust is what your eyes want . Liking someone and lusting after someone are different and can override physical or other preferences.

Facts are this. You said it yourself, you have a crush on a chick that looks like a middle-school 12 year old.  That's creepy.
