Is zeroigar still available? Do you ship to the US? Please let me know.

I have the TurboBooster...it was included in the lot that I won.

Hmm, maybe I can find room to plug in the AC adapter and just switch the AV cables between consoles like I do w/ my Nintendo and Famicom AV.

Ever since I got back into collecting games (no thanks to my boss at work!) I've been adding new games and consoles here and there.  I've been a big fan of the PC Engine for a long time and have finally settled on using a Core Grafx II and a Super CD-ROM 2 setup.  However I've been having an itch to play/collect select U.S. TurboGrafx games.  I've been looking all over the 'net the last few weeks for a good deal on a TG16 console and I finally found one...or rather won one.

I grabbed the TG16 console with it's back cover, TurboBooster, 1 controller, Turbo Tap, AV cords and official AC adapter.  Games in the lot include a complete Keith Courage (woo!), Bonk's Revenge, Legendary Axe and a loose Bonk's Adventure TurboChip.  $110 shipped.  More than I wanted to spend, but oh well.

The only "problem" I may have once the console arrives next week is how I'm going to fit it in my current set up.  My question is can I use the same AC adapter and AV hook ups from my PCE to hook up my TG?  I don't have any room left on my AV selector box to hook up another console so I was curious as to if I could use what I already have and just switch the plugs on the consoles when I'm ready to play.

Why oh why did NEC have to make the TG16 so freaking long.  Guess they didn't think people would be cramming the console into an entertainment center along with 14 other game consoles!

I jumped into the TG-16 scene when Toys 'R Us stores had all their Turbo stuff on deep clearance.  I can't remember what I paid for everything, but I know it would be considered a steal these days.  Years later I dumped all the Turbo stuff in favor of buying a PC Engine Duo RX (although I now use the gray/orange CoreGrafx + Super CD-ROM 2).  Now I really really want to buy a TG-16 console again and buy some of the U.S. Turbo Chip games...but man has this stuff gotten pricey!

I've been out of the TG16 community for awhile, but I'm looking to get back in and the Turbo Booster is almost a must have for me.  Would you take $45 for it?
