[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: How you discovered the turbo grafx]

Wow, its really interesting to hear everyone's stories, makes me wish I got into the tg-16 earlier! That's really cool how Lost Monkey even kept the receipt from back then. I noticed many of you guys saw commercials and ads, which reminds me of something I read earlier. I heard that NEC marketed the system heavily in the bigger cities across the US. I'm not sure if this is true or not. Can anyone confirm this?

Btw- sorry turboswimbz if that came across the wrong way!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / How you discovered the TurboGrafx-16]

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the forum, so I thought why not see how others got into the turbo grafx.  I'm just curious and since I'm new to this system it will be interesting to hear what everyone else has to say. Personally, I heard about the system for awhile, but it wasn't until I downloaded a few of the classics onto my wii, that's how I discovered games like Splatterouse, Air Zonk, Neutopia, and Blazing Lazers. The first tg16 game I played and beat was Bonk's Adventure, which was a blast, but I hear Bonk's Revenge is better. I didn't download too many games, because I'm the type of guy who's got to own a physical copy of a game, btw i wouldn't mind if anyone would be willing to sell me any of your duplicates of any turbo game- i don't have any Anyways, I bet a lot of you guys grew up with the system, unfortunately I was born in 1991 so I was only a toddler through the rest of the tg16's lifespan. So that's it, how did you discover the turbo grafx and what was the first game that convinced you that this system was a good investment? It'll be great hearing others stories and maybe a few of you guys where like me and just discovered it recently!
