Awesome!

It's nothing new or anything special from your typical golf game, but it's not a bad game at all if you're into old skool golf games. Jack Nicklaus, on the other hand, is in my opinion the worst Turbo game ever made.I was gonna say, Turbo Golf sucks ass, which is disappointing, because a good golf game can be a perfect time waster, right up there with video game poker. Maybe I should pick this one up for some Turbo Express time.
Quote from: offsidewing on 05/30/2007, 04:25 PMYeah, they'd really hate us if we stopped our international disaster relief projects or if we didn't allow foreign countries do default on their loans.Couldn't have said it better myself.
The only American thing I'm ashamed of is AOL. I'd take Dan Quayle over AOL any day!

Although I still don't know if you are a man or a woman. Are you even human?I am as old as this island (what island you may ask. You will not receive an answer). Am I human? I thinkyouI just answered your own question.

Quote from: jimid2 on 05/28/2007, 08:56 AMNinja Spirit and Splatterhouse are two excellent games, imho, and would make a nice addition to anyone's collection...These are MUST-HAVES. I would go as far as to insist you purchase these next. Along with Legendary Axe I & II

Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/23/2007, 07:20 PMthe US version is always going to be the one that sucks, and costs more money.Well, why does it suck? Are you saying that the U.S. version is always drastically changed as far as important content is concerned?
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/23/2007, 07:20 PMHell, many times the only difference in the data on a HuCard is the copyright info at the bottom of the title screen.Hmm. I guess not. I am a moron for spending more money on U.S. titles though, you're right about that. I would much rather spend the extra cash on postage so my game can travel the world more than I can.
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/23/2007, 07:20 PMare you so slow you need instructions for Gunhead or Ordyne in the first place? To me manuals aren't something I read, I just like them for the pretty pictures...which are more often in full color in PCE games, rather than the cheap-ass b/w US manuals.As a matter of fact, no, I'm not so slow as to need instructions (though undoubtedly far less gifted than you), but I need instructions in Kanji even less. As I have said, pretty manga doesn't appeal to me, I don't have enough fruit on my underpants to fully appreciate that, but to each his own. So far the only reasons you have given me for buying Japanese games is to spend less money (which in the long run seems negligable at best) and so my cover art will match my Yu-Gi-Oh! bed sheets. Oh yeah, plus the color on the inner pages of the manuals which only imbeciles need.
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/23/2007, 07:20 PMonly the asthetically retarded (or marketing people) prefer the "brown and manly" US cover art that usually looks like a 5th grader created it.Honestly I have never purchased a game so I could stare in awe and wonderment at the cover art. It's odd though, that you attack the artistic capacity of 5th graders when the brightly colored, pretty manga that you cherish looks itself to be targeted at small children.
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/23/2007, 07:20 PMI hate to tell you this, but all these games and systems were made in Japan.I can't thank you enough, for years I labored under the dillusion that these games were created by 'ol Uncle Sam in his super secret lab with Rocky Balboa, G.I. Joe and Ronald Reagan using an American made computer that ran on freedom! Talk about cognitive dissonance! I've been living a lie!
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/23/2007, 07:20 PMfor the most part you are already fell for a chunk of Japanese trash culture when you bought a TG-16, you just needed the crappy cover art, or the huge ugly TG-16 case to lure you in, evidently.Yup, hook line and sinker! Or could it be that Sears was a little more accessable than any of the stores in Japan when I grew up in the central U.S.
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/23/2007, 07:20 PMThe TG16, and its library, is just a fucked up, aborted offshoot from the PC Engine. No Arcade Card, no six button pad, no Tennokoe Bank, no Spriggen, no Star Parodia, no Dracula X, no Street Fighter, no Tengai Makyou, no Bomberman '94, no Puyp Puyo, no Advanced VG...nothing.I will be the first to admit some of the best games never got translated, and I do play those.
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/23/2007, 07:20 PMThe TG-16 sucks.I love it.

AR GG 01 VM 32 30 27 GG 17 20 22 23 13 11 10 08 GG 05 03 GG VV VN VR
02 CD 35 34 VU 29 26 15 19 21 VJ 14 12 VG 09 07 06 04 24 VT 37 36 VP
AL VV VS 33 31 28 25 16 VL VK QQ VI VH QQ VF VE VD VC VB VA GG VZ VQ
Explanation of the codes:
## -- HuCard pinout of that number. These are numbered 1-38 from right
to left, from the front of the unit. The following pins are
represented: 1-17, 19-37. (18 is ground, while 38 is +5V, so
technically all 38 pins come out on the expansion bus.)
AR -- Audio Right
AL -- Audio Left
VZ -- External composite video, connected to R145. Note -- this may need
to be externally bypassed to ground with a capacitor to use directly
as a video feed.
VV -- +5V, regulated
GG -- Ground
CD -- CD 'sense' line. PCE: 6280 P30 CD: shorted to ground
QQ -- External voltage input. PCE: 7805 P1 CD: supplies +5V
VA -- 6270 P38 and 6260 P62
VB -- 6270 P37 and 6260 P63
VC -- 6270 P36 and 6260 P64
VD -- 6270 P35 and 6260 P65
VE -- 6270 P34 and 6260 P66
VF -- 6270 P31 and 6260 P67
VG -- 6270 P30 and 6260 P68
VH -- 6270 P29 and 6260 P69
VI -- 6270 P28 and 6260 P70
VJ -- 6270 P26 and 6260 P71
VK -- 6270 P25 and 6260 P72
VL -- 6270 P23 and 6260 P73
VM -- 6280 P59 and 6260 P79
VN -- 6260 P44
VP -- 6260 P47
VQ -- 6260 P49
VR -- 6260 P51
VS -- 6260 P61
VT -- 6270 P77
VU -- 6280 P45
The last set of abbreviations start with "V" because they mainly connect
directly to the video chips. VU is the exception.
Note that VA through VL seem to be a 12-bit data-bus between the 6260 and
the 6270. This implies to me that the 6260 is also involved in video
production; how exactly I have yet to determine. Remember that the 6280 is
the main processor that runs the games; the other 2 are video coprocessors.
Quote from: ccovell on 05/17/2007, 01:08 PMWow! I'd forgotten about that. That is definitely a mastery rivaling that of Seurat's.Is that Saturday in the Park?
Quote from: Tatsujin on 05/15/2007, 09:06 PMYES exactly what I was thinking. But now here's a question, can I play the Genesis games on my waffle iron? Oh, ok, but I can still make waffles in the Genesis, ok. I wish I could have reached through the screen and the fabric of time and given that cow an open-handed slap on the mouth.Quote from: Joe Redifer on 05/14/2007, 08:42 PMLOL yeah. They picked the kids who were stuck sitting on the stairs rather than the ones who eagerly raised their hands. The host-chick was dumber than a pile of rocks. "Do the Genesis cartridges work on the older Sega system?" If they did, they wouldn't need a newer Sega system you dumb whore!wuahahahaha! that was amazing
Quote from: offsidewing on 05/10/2007, 02:33 PMWow. Nazi Germany / Turbo Grafx analogies.Actually it is more of a Nazi Germany : EGM analogy I remember reading the mag as a kid and always being pissed because they always reviewed the genesis games so much higher, despite the fact that so many of them were crap.
I just checked one item off my "Shit I'll never see" list.
Quote from: offsidewing on 05/09/2007, 10:47 PMYeah, I did go KITT on my duo's ass. Or did I go KARR??? Perhaps Goliath?!?! Hmmm, sequenced LED's....Nope, if you went KARR on your duo's ass, it would have a blue light (but not "hurt your eyes blue").
Quote from: doomfarer75 on 03/07/2005, 07:21 AM. . .Now that I read them now, EGM really didn't appreciate the turbo very much...and lavished the genesis (and their cd) with attention ugghh!Ya think?
Quote from: MrFulci on 04/24/2007, 11:20 AMAs it is, I am profiting less than $10 on this transaction.Well, that's over half the retail value of what you're hocking. You might make more on an auction, but I don't see anyone here paying quite that much. At any rate, you're not going to retire on the profit, so if you want to get rid of it, I would just take nat's offer (assuming you haven't already).
