Billy Mitchell has held the world record on several old arcade games such as PAC-Man and Donkey Kong. He has long, dark hair and a beard.

Is he the star of "King of Kong"? I look like every other long haired guy with a beard. lol

hoobs!

You resemble an ex-forum member who left in a firestorm.

Hopefully, you will remain with us. Peacefully.

Forever.

Who was that?

[Off-Topic / Re: PCEngineFX Picture Thread (Formerly "Mugs")]

Are you Billy Mitchell?

Who is Billy Mitchell? (I could google him but I'd rather hear your answer)

[Off-Topic / Re: PCEngineFX Picture Thread (Formerly "Mugs")]

This thread has been around for a while but I never felt like I had a decent photo to submit.

Er, it's a saying. This explains it - http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/bog-standard.html

Never heard that before. Must be a British thing. Thanks for sharing the meaning!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Double Dungeons Opinions]

The dungeons get longer as you progress through the game. I only played through it one time.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: LF: Some TurboGrafx Games]

I think I have one copy of Keith Courage in Alpha Zones (with the comic book) left. I'll have to check when I get home.

I have the orange fannypack (like Bloufo has above) but I was also working on a custom case. I'll try to to post photos later if I remember.

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2016]

Got Altered Beast and Gotham season 2. Thanks Santa!

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2016]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!  You did get a package from me.  It is your raffle winnings.  You're allowed to open that one.

D'oh! Totally forgot about that. Thanks for the raffle then!

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2016]

Earlier in the month, I received a package addressed to "hoobs88" and the return address seemed to indicate that it was from last year's Santa but NecroPhile said that he was not a repeat Santa. Today, I received another mysterious package shipped via Express Mail (at a very expensive rate) addressed to my real name. It appears that I have 2 Santas!?!?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: So how often or when or how do you buy your tg16 games]

Fortunately, I completed my TG-16 collection a few years ago (with the exception of a Magical Chase repro). There are a few PC Engine games that I'm interested in but I saved them for my Secret Santa wishlist.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Bubble Bobble]

Good news: the project is still alive.
Bad news: this year I haven't done much.
After years I got tired but after a break of six months I'm back to work on Bubble Bobble.

I'm still so pumped for this!

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2016]

Heh, Santa's getting sneaky.

He had me worried for a bit, thinking I'd fucked up and paired up peeps again so soon (I try to make sure there's no repeats within two years) or that I'd sent out some wrong lists.  The former wouldn't be that big of a deal, but the latter would really suck if someone got two presents while someone else got the shaft.

I noticed that the sign up sheet (see below) didn't include a spot for last year's recipient so I just figured that Desh ended up with a duplicate recipient.

Sign up sheet format for when you PM me your list -

Forum Alias:
Shipping Name/Address:
Condition (i.e. - complete, boxed, mint, loose, etc.):
Wish List:
Entered in the poster drawing? (yes/no):
Entered in the Magicoal drawing? (yes/no):

[Off-Topic / Re: Secret Santa 2016]

I shipped out my recipient's Secret Santa Gift this morning then later in the afternoon, I received my Secret Santa Gift. The Return Address looked familiar so it was easy to figure out who my Santa is (same as last year). Thanks Desh!

Desh was not your Santa this year.

If that's the case, Santa put a phony return address label that correlates to Desh's on the package...or I got an additional gift from last year's Santa.

Nice! Thank you! PM incoming

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB TurboExpress & TG16]

Check out http://www.tg16pcemods.com/  the guy goes by Turbokon on here.   Not sure if he's taking new mod work, or has any items for sale.  But certainly worth asking him.

I had Turbokon mod my Express with a 3.5" screen and haven't had any issues with it.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS rest of collection games & systems]

I don't remember the box art looking like that for Metroid. Is that a reproduction box?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Pc engine gt mod]

I had my Turbo Express modded by Turbokon. You should check with him.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTTF: Sidearms Sparky label]

Got one! PM me with your address and I'll mail it to you

[Off-Topic / Re: Turbo Grafx T-shirt Raffle!!!]

Congratulations to CrackTiger! PM me with your shipping address and I'll send it your way tomorrow.

[Off-Topic / Re: Turbo Grafx T-shirt Raffle!!!]

Bump for any late entries as the drawing is on Thursday (my last day of vacation).

[Off-Topic / Turbo Grafx T-shirt Raffle!!!]

I purchased this shirt from Turbokon with the intention of raffling it off but then forgot about it until someone brought up the fact that raffles hadn't been happening as frequently as they used to. With that said...

Up for raffle is a size Large Turbo Grafx T-shirt complete with Obi strip (j/k it is washing instructions) open to anyone in the continental US on these forums. Winner must post a selfie of themself wearing the shirt. Drawing will be July 21.

[High Score Records / Re: "Chiki Chiki Boys" High Scores]

I was just thinking at work today that I had posted "Challenge accepted" and I haven't had a chance to play. Thanks for calling me out!

[Off-Topic / Re: What happened to raffles on this forum?]

I am going to do a raffle soon but I'm not sure what the correct forum is to enter it in...Chit-Chat? Or is there a dedicated forum specifically for raffles?

[High Score Records / Re: "Chiki Chiki Boys" High Scores]

Challenge accepted!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Selling CIB Order of the Griffon]

johnnykonami just put up a WTB post for this game yesterday.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hucard / SuperCD are NOT the same system...]

I wasn't aware of those. Thanks for clarifying!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hucard / SuperCD are NOT the same system...]

Following this logic to its ultimate conclusion, the PCE is really five different systems - Hueys, CDs, Super CDs, Arcade CDs, and GE CDs. 

What are you referring to by "GE CD"?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Turbografx 16 Controller]

I bought a bunch of replacement cables from Turbo Zone direct before they went out of business. I believe they are all for the duo pads/pc engine controllers so the plugs won't fit in a TG-16 system but they are easy to swap out and don't require soldering. I can double check later to see if any of them have TG-16 plugs.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Klax end sticker]

You're welcome! Glad I could help.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Klax end sticker]

I bought a set of Sparky labels. I'm pretty sure I have a spare Klax label. PM me with your address (and as a reminder to look for it) and I'll send it to you.

[Off-Topic / Re: What is your favourite soft drink?]

Baja Blast and Pitch Black Mountain Dew is back on store shelves again (USA) for the summer. Also there's voting on which one of this 2 will become permanent and not just limited time deal: http://www.mountaindew.com/dewcision2016/

Hoping that BJ edition stays, Taco Smell gets a little expensive just to get these green pop. (pepto bismol and preparation h doesn't come free)

I wish they brought back Pitch Black II (sour grape) instead of the original. Baja Blast is the clear choice here so it is no longer a Taco Bell exclusive.

Oh, and here is a scan of my manual.  Some wrinkles on front cover, but it will do I guess.

Again? This thread is 2 years old.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Looking for a few games]

Chop5 made some "Chu cards" of Coryoon and Magical Chase. Definitely a cheaper solution than owning the real deal. You might want to contact him to see if he has any left.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB AC adapter and Turbo Vision for my Express]

I have a Turbo Express AC adapter. PM me if interested.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Game conventions with TurboGrafx presence]

Midwest Gaming Classic aka MGC (early April) and Video Game Summit aka VGS (date ??) are annual events where the Turbo Fest Tour has a presence and PCEFX folk congregate. These both go down in Wisconsin.  Also, in Chicago every October is an event called Octurbofest that is strictly turbo but generally smaller scale than the other events.

Video Game Summit is in July.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Order of the Griffon help? Stuck]

Did you return the staff to the Order of the Griffon after you obtained it?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Order of the Griffon help? Stuck]

I spent many hours mapping the dungeons in that game about 10 years ago. I entered them into spreadsheets so I would have some decent looking maps for future use. I can email them to you (or anyone else) if you'd like them. Just PM me with your email address if interested.
