Ark and I removed the sales function fro the Turbo Town group in hopes that half of the idiots who joined just to post something for sale would leave. Made a pseudo/group called The Marketplace and told them all to go there.  I wish we could get more ppl in there just talking about the games themselves and what they like about them, sadly I'm starting to think that most of the ppl interested in Turbo now are just interested in gains and not actually enjoying the art of the game itself (music, graphics, programming, ect) :\

Quote from: PukeSter on 03/17/2018, 09:19 AMJapan has been drained of all the good bargain games. I was just there actually (3rd visit for family). Did pick up some n64 games though.

For all the anti-Facebook old farts, there is a new arkanoid port on hucard. You'll have to buy it though, no rom.

You dudes probably could shoot him a Facebook message though.

I still refuse to join twitter. It's a fucking cesspool
There's been an Arkanoid port for PC Engine with mouse support for like 20 years. Hopefully someone other than the authors isn't just slapping it on a HuCard for an easy profit.


Edit: just did a quick search to see if I could find that Arkanoid HuCard. Came across a PC Engine homebrew group. One of the recent posts asked:

"Is there an English rom hack of Adventure Island?"
That's some interesting info, thanks BT. Had no idea a previous Arkanoid port existed.

It should be in "Turbo Reproductions"...you have to join in order to see the pics. No mouse support, and the weirdest thing is that the hucard has a physical switch to change the number of lives.

Does anyone know who Zach Spears is, on pcefx at least? He runs Turbo Town along with Arkhan.
I'm Zach. I started Turbo Town (formerly TurboGrafx 16 and PC Engine Fans) I regret half the things that happen in that group, but we are starting to attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff and get things back to normal. I'm considering ending the sales function of the group, since most new people only seem to be interested in joining only to sell things and then are never heard from again, or cease to participate, thus leading to their eventual dismissal.

Thanks for your work on this project. Very cool of you to do this and share it.  =D>

I bought one, and I think the level of the music is actually complimentary to the sound effects now as opposed to before where the BGM sounded like it was hiding "behind" the SFX. The two actually compliment each other more than before. I've listened to it on a small CRT and also running through my Pioneer RX-721

I don't wish death on anyone, Sparky. That being said, I really do think it's just another thing you are saying for attention and sympathy so people will turn the other cheek while you badmouth them. I've heard you say it before.  I've had a wife leave me and take my daughter from me and I didn't get to see her until she was 15 years old. I understand that kind of situation is hard. But it doesn't give you an excuse to pick a random person and start shit with them.  Most people who know me, and have actually taken the time to talk to me, generally like me. All these things that you say I am, are figments of your imagination because you feel like you need somebody to hate and rage on. You've never even tried to have a normal conversation with me, you jump on online, start a conversation out normally, then 3 sentences in start bad mouthing me, calling me names and try to provoke me. It's literally verging on the edge of stalker shit. It's painfully obvious and you make yourself look foolish by doing it. It's no coincidence that I'm not the only one who has spoken up about you doing this. You need to get some help. Like, now. It sucks because we could have been friends if you just hadn't targeted me out of the blue like some maniac with accusations and trying to start a fight, which if you lived nearby you would utterly lose within seconds. I'm washing my hands of you at this point. I hope you get some help because there are people who genuinely seem to care about you and have nice things to say about you. I just dont have any because you haven't given me anything nice to say.  :(  IMG

Quote from: Sparky on 09/03/2016, 06:10 PMLook at your self buddy, i got lots to share as well psyho that I can post over on Facebook if you like. I am a drunk angry fuck right now with my situation, if you guys want to over react which you do all the time,so be it, go back to you Facebook group where you think your something. That's why I left and blocked you, I vented to a so called buddy of mine that turns around and tells you and you come after me. That's not cool so I told him and he over reacted. I am done with the facial book seen.
You don't have anything that you would post without incriminating yourself as a harassing trouble starter, so go for it. I'll do the same. So will others probably. (I'm positive there are others) It's time for you to stop thinking that it's ok to just pick fights with people out of the blue without any repercussions. I read this thread and saw how much of a hypocrite you really are with your "I take full responsibility for my actions" bit that you have said to me and others dozens of times. I don't think my group on fb is anything special, and it shows that you have no clue what you are talking about as to the reasons why that group was started in the first place. Remember, the people you are calling "friends" are the same ones you talk shit about behind their backs and try to instigate fights with. I legit tried to forgive you for harassing me, tried to be nice and sensitive to your "situation" which you keep going on about for sympathy. Then you straight up jumped bad on me like a fool. You really made yourself look foolish and the really sad thing is that you just have no clue. But now it's on. You want an enemy, you've earned one. I'm sure I'm not the only one, given your "situation" and how you seem to relish in being an "angry drunk". Guess what? Some of us don't have to get drunk to say whats on our minds. It's called not being a giant pussy. Oops, too many words, did you get triggered?

Quote from: NightWolve on 07/15/2016, 11:03 PMI kinda thought the hatchet was buried even with DarkKo somewhat as he's been chill around here the last year working on his cat game.
Nah. He jumped all over CrackTiger out of no where recently, he should really work on letting go of his grudges over here as well.
What a joke. If anyone is guilty of jumping all over people out of nowhere, it's you Sparky. If everyone else only knew how much you constantly harass myself and some other members here. It's OK though, we have plenty of screenshots to back it up, along with ones of you bragging about it. Talk about completely two faced. "I take full responsibility for my actions" Gee..... I wonder where I've heard that before....?

I think Sparky gets angry when people type too many consecutive words for him to read and attempt to comprehend.

Thanks for the info and advice guys, I appreciate it! I will def. check out the emulator first, Bernie
#14
I may pull the trigger soon if I find the right one at the right price. Can anyone recommend some of the playable games for someone who cannot read or speak Japanese? Are there enough of those to actually enjoy owning one? Sorry for the lame questions. Also, has anyone ever modded one to be able to play Super CD Roms in any capacity? Is that even possible? When will the questions end?!?!

Sorry, havent been around here much. Love you guys tho.

Quote from: Mzo on 02/02/2014, 12:03 PMCIB is a little confusing for TG16 stuff since some people think of it as Cart (or whatever), Instructions, Box when it's really Complete In Box, which would include the outer cardboard box for these particular games.

If they have it, I'd be pretty interested in a couple...
Sorry, I meant to change that to Complete In Case. My bad. Fixed it.

Quote from: aaronl on 01/24/2014, 10:45 AMNo I don't ship to Canada, and you people are the ones being childish.  Getting mad at me because of the Facebook group then coming on here and deliberately hurting my T-Shirt sales.   If you have a problem with me, then take it up with me in private.
If they did take it up with you in private, you would probably just tell them to "Get bent, asshole" like you did me when I tried to explain why I posted a link to the Turbografx-16/PC Engine group. I tried to explain myself in a calm, nice way and all you could do was curse me and accuse me of trying to "poach your members." If you would refund my money for the shirt I purchased from you.... yeah.... um... that would be great. But I don't see that happening, Just like I never received even so much as a tracking number for it and it's been SEVEN DAYS.

I ordered one, but that was before I realized that the guy was power mad about his dumb Facebook group. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks in the pics, but I have to agree that it does look like iron-ons.
