[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Convinced a friend to get into Turbo]

Is there anything I can tell my friend since he is considering getting a Turbo? I don't really have any advice on what to pay or what not to pay. What would you tell someone if they were interested in buying a system?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Raffle: 2 Japanse Hu cards (complete, fair condition)]

Dang, ShadowKitty, very generous of you! +2 TurboKarma! No need to sign me up.  Hope to see you at the next MCG!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Raffle: 2 Japanse Hu cards (complete, fair condition)]

Can I toss my Hatris in the ring for just Gai Flame?  If I win, I'll gladly pay shipping for Youkai to go to the next guy/gal in line.

I was hoping to do some raffles, host I mean. I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to do them?
I was gonna make a new topic, but I figured this classified as noob

Too late, you just blew it. Should have just shut up already. 

If you want to have a raffle - just do it!!!!  You are the one giving something away, so for that ONE thread, you are in charge and you get to make the rules.

LOL   
Can I post them in any thread? (as long as it's related) also is it ok to raffle non-turbo items as long as its games? If so where should I post those?

For a raffle, always create a new thread in the relevant sales forum - TG16 raffles in the TG16 sales forum, etc.  If they are non turbo, then put em in the "Console Sales" forum.

Perfect, thank you~ I'll def put some up stuff up this weekend then.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Poll- Are you a new or old PC Engine/TurboGrafx gamer?]

I'd be interested in how many forum members first played the PC Engine/TurboGrafx after the era it was released.
 

Personally I played it around the time it was released and through the console's life cycle and I bought most of the games (all the big ones) back when they were first released too.
A massive part of my interest in the system is purley nostalgia of this time.

I didn't get to play turbo until psone era. I only knew about Nintendo and Sega when it came out.

[Off-Topic / Re: The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime]

I would recommend checking out One Punch Man if you haven't already.

I saw Frozen. It was slightly above average. I don't hate it or anything, but I do have trouble understanding its popularity. I bet the boys in Disney's top secret audience pacification institute have some good data on this, but they probably didn't expect this level of popularity either.

Yeah I agree that Disney def had some analysts in on this one. I think most of the popularity/hype comes from the fact that it had a lot of "progressive" themes that has become really popular in social media right now. I'm not saying it's bad for it, but it is just why I think everyone is making it seem like it's a special snowflake.
I enjoyed the movie though.

They say it's made in Japan...... like wtf. Everything about this makes me upset. :/

(I tried to go back and make sure this wasn't posted already, I hope I didn't mess up)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Whats a good price for a duo]

Jason, get with fellow member Keith Courage.  He usually has systems on hand, already refurbished. 

He did an excellent job fixing mine, and returned it at sonic speed. Would def recommend.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: don't you just hate it .....]

It's weird I have a mix. Most of my irl friends like Majors already know that turbo is where it's at. Those friends were the ones that showed me the turbo years ago when I only had an NES, SNES, and Genesis as a kid. (well technically I had an Odyssey 2 and Atari 2600 first, but still)
It was like an awesome treasure trove of untapped awesomeness I'm still discovering. Even with the nostalgia factor for my old systems it seems weird to me that anyone with half a brain would snub the turbo.....

However, most of the people I've run into on gaming forums and social media are younger and they are all Nintendtards that think the N64 is a retro system, and don't really play anything older. Their mentality can be a little tiring.

[Off-Topic / Re: The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime]

The Macross movie was released in BR a couple of years ago. Quality is very good, but it is censored slightly, only a few frames, but it is censored. It comes with a PS3 game, Flashback 2012, and a ton of printed material. It's like $150-200, IIRC.

I'm sure someone has fansubbed it by now.

That Japanese BR is really nice, and game is decent too. It sucks that it's censored, but at least its minimal.

[Off-Topic / Re: That Tobias f--k went after Xak III and SO II as pressed CD-ROM releases!]

Holy shit this is super interesting, but it's a lot to take in. Is there a cliff's note's version?

I did notice that Drac-X thing. I actually had it shared to me, which is why I popped on the forums to see what you guys were saying about it.

[Off-Topic / Re: New Adam Sandler movie, Pixels]

Sorta only vaguely related, but because of a promotion for that movie they brought Steve Weibe out to a big tourist mall to play Donkey Kong. It was pretty cool to see him play live. They also had some cabs set up with DK and some other retro games for people to play.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: my pcengine top 15 platformers]

None of the games you listed are on the TG-16.

To get an idea of the best platform games for the system check out this thread "top 5 platform games for the TG-16/PC Engine?"
https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=17451.0

I checked out that thread. I saw Jakie Chan on a lot of lists. Must be pretty good then? I'll def have to keep an eye out for it.
Cool thread.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pictures of your turbo/pc engine collection]

bumping this thread....not a new collection, but one I've had for a very long while. Getting back into my gaming habits and have my small and humble collection. Nothing like some of the members with entire complete sets.

I hope you're just showing your rarez and not the complete collection, else your priorities are all fucked up.

O.O Is that cause they are odd first choices? lol I'm assuming they are all rare or expensive? (I don't buy Turbo on Ebay, just from MadGear usually)

You guys have really awesome collections. I usually have to go to cons to play some of those titles.

The Turbo room was hella rad, I'm def going next year.

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

While not directly Turbo related this goes over the problem with the way ebay works

This is so upsetting....
I had to show this to a friend of mine because I have been trying to talk her out of spending 100+ for Rule of Rose on PS2. For some reason that game just keeps going up in price, and it used to be everywhere. Every time I see it now, they want more for it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: John Romero selling his Turbografx]

That's it.  The point is, people only really care about John Carmack!   

That's because Carmack was a decent guy who kept of doing good stuff ... and Romero was a self-promoting ass who thought that he was god's gift to gaming, left ID, and then went on to prove project after project that he was just an idiot that got very lucky the first time.

Between 1 and 4 on the PC Engine for me.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: if the original metal gear was ported to pc-e/tg-16?]

Even if you have a raging tard-boner for the shitty NES one, at first glance, MG2: Solid Snake is 100% more fuck-yeah inducing than NES Metal Gear will ever be.

Yessssssssss 

I kinda do have a (tiny) soft spot for DW though.... >_>

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: if the original metal gear was ported to pc-e/tg-16?]

I agree. I would also say Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake (also on those collections) Is worth checking out, more-so than 1 actually.

It's a newer and more polished game. But for those of us who grew up in the US and played the NES original this isn't as easy of a pick over the original.

Really? o.o
(I grew up in the US and played the NES one when it came out as well, still have my complete copy)
I could see the appeal for the nostalgia factor on the NES one, but those MSX versions were pretty spiffy in my personal opinion. Enough so that I actually sealed up my copies of the original, and put them on my Metal Gear Collection shelf.

[Off-Topic / Re: That movie you can watch more then once..]

I have way too many to list, Alien, Aliens, Tron, Ghost in the Shell.....
I'm gonna have to add Mad Max Fury Road to that list since I've already been to the theaters to see it twice.

[Off-Topic / Re: The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime]

Just watched Paprika the other night.  What an awesome movie, way better than Inception.

Awesome movie. Have you seen Perfect Blue? (Same director)

@ the mention of Kill la Kill I really like that series, it's pretty fun to watch. It's like a parody of action animes, yet a pretty entertaining action anime at the same time.

After seeing the new Mad Max for the 2nd time, I want to re-watch Fist of the North Star again.

[General Gaming / Re: People with Amiiboners...]

I want Pit and Little Mac.

There's not a lot of Kid Icarus or Punch-Out merchandise and they'd just be cool to have.

Yeah, same here. I have a few Punch-Out items, and I thought it would be cool to have the Lil Mac one. Boy was I disappointed.....

This is the result of the Pokemon generation being adults now. Would you believe these people actually think the N64 is a good system???

[Off-Topic / Re: The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime]

Most new anime is crap, but Parasyte the Maxim was pretty good. I highly recommend. Kinda funny to me one of the only newer animes worth watching right now is based off an older manga (originally published in the late 80's-90's)

(Also Resident 4 completely ripped a lot of designs from this series, which was pretty interesting)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Darkwing Duck - Angry Video Game Nerd]

As soon as I saw the episode I had to see if a thread had been made here. I figured these forums were on top of it. I liked how he said the system didn't have as many turds on it. (I'm paraphrasing)

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: if the original metal gear was ported to pc-e/tg-16?]

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Turbo Duo and PC Engine in need of repairs]

*I tried it once with my Dreamcast once, and it didn't go well.

Did you give it a proper burial?

lol
I used to really love my Dreamcast.... If it wasn't for a few a handful of games that haven't (and prolly won't) get the re-release or HD treatment... I swear I would give up on the 'ol gal, but I just can't. (I just found scraps and someone to fix her)

Has your tubro duo been recapped?  That may be the issue with that one if it hasn't.  Since you don't seem to care much about that one, you could try to swap the laser lens assemblies between the two consoles.  The RX may have a bad one and the one in the turbo duo may still be ok.  It is pretty easy to do, but you might not want to do it which is understandable.  If not i'm sure someone will fix them both for you.

Not that I'm aware of.

Update: I got three offers so far. I hope no one gets upset if I don't pick them. @-@ I've went from having no idea how to fix my boys, to having tons of options. Seriously thank you guys.
