[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Best US huey (final round)]

Final Lap Twin & Bomberman are mine. I wonder if people favor the first game they really loved on TG over quality of game.  Or if they favor the games they played as kids - that's the case with me.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Express In The Wild !!! FINALLY !!!]

Did you have a status asking about TurboExpress?  Or are you in a TG FB group?  I want people to facebook me about selling TG stuff.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Where'd you buy your TG?]

I remember figuring out a way to hook my Express up to our cable channels and to the VCR.  Only problem was that you were wired and immobile.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Where'd you buy your TG?]

Mine were all consecutive Christmases I believe.

89 - TG
90 - TGCD - that wrapped box was so big it didn't fit under the tree. It was awesome!
91 - TurboExpress - my dad put the TV tuner in the tree like an ornament. I played my Express the most and thought it was the most incredible thing ever invented.  I could watch TV and play my favorite games wherever I wanted. I was attached to that thing for a few years. Great memories.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Where'd you buy your TG?]

It's cool to hear where everyone got their TGs from.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Where'd you buy your TG?]

I bought a second boxed system and it still has the Sears price tag on it.  I never remember seeing them there.  What other major retailers sold TG?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Where'd you buy your TG?]

This may have been a topic in the past, but I was wondering where everyone bought their TG stuff in the 90s.

I grew up in Oklahoma and the only place I saw TGs for sale was Toys-R-Us.  It was like a Saturday ritual to go there and see if anything new had come out.  I remember when I was able to convince my dad to buy a new game, you had to take the paper slip for the game you wanted to buy to the front of the store to actually get it.  That was a feeling of triumph!  Those were the days!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: 3D Printed HuCard Case (UPDATED 1/27/15)]

This is awesome!  Will be getting in line for some of these as well.

As a kid, I was not to careful with my cases.  I actually have a lot of cases where just the little plastic strip to hold the card in is broken.  Would it be possible to just sell those separately as well?  Not sure about cost/time and all that jazz.

Thanks for doing this!  Good luck on working everything out.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: The Struggle Of Finding Turbo Stuff..]

I live in the Chicago area.  TG stuff rarely comes up on craigslist (except for common) - I think I've only bought two times on there over the years.

One of those buys was from a guy who had picked up a bunch of TG games at a garage sale a few years before.  He never had a TG system - just the games.  He had Air Zonk, Chase HQ, Neutopia, Neutopia II, & Military Madness.  Blew my mind!  Wish I could find those kind of garage sales!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Express Sighting]

I remember when I saw the Turbo Express in Enemy of the State, I had a yell at the screen moment because I was so excited just to see that someone else knew Turbografx existed!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Turbografx games updated (8/17)]

Awesome games.  Good prices.  Wish I would have seen this before most things were gone!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Game box form inserts]

I went the more expensive route and bought some TG box protectors - the exoskeleton approach.  They're definitely worth it and I don't have as much fear of crushing my boxes, but I definitely dig your DIY approach!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Reproduction TurboExpress/PC Engine GT battery door]

This is awesome. I have the problem of repeatedly taking battery doors off of stuff. Good to know there is a possible replacement if I ever wear the express's out.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Prices for Games with boxes....]

That's insane.  One of the rare times that the price didn't sky rocket.  Every time I've followed just boxes being sold (entering triple digits now) the price has jumped way out of my league with under a minute, but nothing happened here...  Just got to hit the right moment.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Prices for Games with boxes....]

Seems like that is a steal.  What would that have all sold for individually?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Turbo Duo Boxed with Turbo EverDrive]

Interested.  PM sent.

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

Yep.  I saw this too and literally laughed out loud.  If anything, maybe it is bringing some good laughs through the ridiculousness of it!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: What's the going rate for a in box TG-16?]

I paid $150 for complete in box off craigslist this summer.  I have the box from my original TG, but apparently that Xmas morning in 1989 I wasn't in a patient mood and tore it up a bit.  Kept all my boxes, but I threw out all of my styrofoam.  So, I have the boxes for Express, TG, and TGCD, but no styrofoam.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Prices for Games with boxes....]

How hard is it to find just boxes for particular games?  Depends on game I'm sure.  I've watched a few eBay auctions with just boxes and the price jumps way out of my price range at the end.  I mean way out of my price range.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Hudson's CD Game Music Collection '93]

Yeah - I'd be interested in hearing the story behind these as well.  If anyone knows - please share.  Thanks.

Are these new?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Bardoly's Bargain Bazaar - Updated 7/22/13]

PMed you with an offer a few days ago.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks.

Package arrived beautifully.  Had a great transaction.  Thanks.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS/T BIg TurboGrafx/Duo Extra Purge List ALSO WTB list on bottom of my thread]

What's the difference between the Y's 1 & 2 Duo version vs. the TG version?  Thanks.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB - Super System Card]

Thanks for the help everyone.  I just bought the Super System Card listed above.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: For Trade: TG16/DUO/PCE Games]

Is everything under "for sale" just the hu and no case or manual?  Let me know.  Thanks.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB - Super System Card]

Great.  Thanks for the quick response.

I'm trying to decide if I want to try to collect everything CIB because that's what I have so far OR if I should just go for the jewel case, manual, and Hu/CD.  Does the box add that much value?  I enjoy the chase of finding CIB.  Where do you guys get most of your games - trade on here or ebay?

Also, is there a place to get the jewel cases with the hucard or just the hucard plastic insert for the cases?  Thanks.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB - Super System Card]

Hello friends,

I've recently started collecting Turbografx stuff again.  I grew up playing my express, turbografx CD, and such.  Saved all the boxes for everything.  I'm looking at getting a Super System Card.  I was wondering if there are any available from people on the site or if I should just buy one off of feebay?  Seem to be going for around $200.  Is that about right?  Thanks for any help.

Robert

PS - I beat bomberman the other night.  It took me a month to beat that when I was little.  It took one night to beat it now.

Nobody loves you except Jesus ... and he's questionable.  (or your religious figure/lack thereof)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: 9 empty boxes up for raffle!!!!!!!]

Shoot - I just found this site last week.  I'm trying to get out of my shell on the site and get my TurboExpress repaired.  Hope more opportunities like this present themselves.

Thanks.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: REPAIR GUIDE - TurboExpress: Total capacitor replacement chart]

Steve,

I ordered an entire set of aluminum capacitors to fix my TE before finding this site.  I want to reorder everything ceramic now.  Are you saying to just use ceramic ones up to 22uf and then use aluminum over 22uf?  Or can I use ceramic to replace them all?

Should I get the exact Volts with ceramic?  If not, how many volts higher is within allowable range?  Thank you very much!
