Forgive me but, I'm not quite understanding this reply.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Turbo Play, Duo World...etc. etc.]

Hey guys!

I was looking at my Turbo Grafx magazine collection (along with archives.tg-16.com  ...  which is awesome) and would like to "fill in the blanks" or replace a few.  If you know where I can get these, please let me know.  Thanks!!

Turbo Play: Brochure 1989 and Brochure 1992  (these were listed, never saw them before)  
Duo World:  Issue #2 and #3
Turbo Force:  Issue #1 and #2

They also have Turbo Edge Newsletter listed (3 issues).  Never saw those before either.  Ha ha.  But, would love them.  
They don't need to be mint.

Give me a shout.  Thanks!
Chris Bucci

PS:  Would be willing to trade but I don't have much extra.  Paperwork-wise, I have an extra copy of Turbo Play "final" issue (cover a tad loose).  Super Star Soldier Manual.  Turbo Zone direct ads.   Thanks!

I know this is an old post but, thought I'd just update it.  Thanks!!

Yeah, that's the problem.  That constant "replay" to keep starting over.  Ha ha.

Thanks 8Bit!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Thank you guys.  I try. 
We're almost 1/2 way done with the series.  Whew. 
Chris

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Thanks guys.  I appreciate it.  Funny....I still have the broken SSS game.  I should auction it and call it "spida1a's nightmare!"   

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Yes, thanks to Mathius....we had an ending!! 

It is funny because...the way the video originally ended...I took the chip out, stopped the end review credits, and destroyed the broken chip.  Almost AVGN-ish.  Just despondent and upset (which I truly was).  I had HAD it.

Halfway into editing, I picked up the new copy of SSS for FUN and beat the game some random day (recording all of stage 8 in anticipation).  So excited, I re-wrote the ending and decided to do a slight "homage" to King of Kong since it ended almost the same, near the end of editing it was defeated and changed the outcome.  Ha ha.   

Thanks guys!  As always,
Chris

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

I just listened to the "teaser" (which is...the first ten minutes of the show).  It is funny...we talk a bunch about TurboGrafx in it as well as pinball and other stuff.  Yet in the teaser...this is NONE of that.  Ha ha.   

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Hey TRON...it was fun...I was on "Skype" talking to another PodCast guy about doing his show.  And literally Johnny said, "HEY...you around...we need a guest."  I said, "Um...."   Next thing I'm connected and BAM we're starting to talk....lol!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Very true SMF and thanks for updating TRON.    Thanks for the support as always! 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

BUMP

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Ha ha.  Thanks guys, I was just messin' around with ya' Mathius!  If I cared what other people thought...Keith Courage would have gotten a nostalgically wonderful 5 stars...     

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

...haha, thanks allyourblood.   Mathius was starting to hurt my feelings.   lol  ;)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB-Cadash]

Ha ha.  I swear Mathius....it was not my intention to force you to spend any money!  Ha ha.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Wow, thanks for keeping this thread going guys.  You're awesome and I'm glad you enjoy the series. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Ha ha.  Well....thanks guys.  I cringed at the thought of showing it (obviously I edited down my  host segments a bit....hence the "flip" transition I obviously didn't have back-then).  But, I'm glad you enjoyed it.  I did a Super Mario World tape like this once and a few others.....mostly for fun.  I always liked creating stuff....artistic ADD.  Ha ha. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Ha ha.  Well.....if I can make a "wife" happy....I guess I better consider it rag-time4.   Perhaps look for it this weekend. 

Although, I wouldn't mind appealing to some "single" girls once in a while. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Thanks guys...I REALLY appreciate it.

Well, I have to be honest, the stuff I did back then was pretty bad.  So, I don't think I can stomach providing it.  Ha ha. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Hey.....I don't know what ya'll are talking about.... 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Thanks guys....I appreciate it!!!

Cotton surprised me because it was TICKING ME OFF big time.  But, I kept going back to it over and over and over and over.  I usually don't fall for the "beat things a second time to get the game's credits" bull.  The problem was....I couldn't stop!  So, I raised it a half star and I'm glad I was able to share my defeating of the second pass on default with you guys (will NEVER happen again, ha ha).  

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

Sure did Mathius my good man! 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

Bump, bumpity, bump bump bump.........  ;)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

Yeah, I'm well aware it's a long-shot.  But.....might as well put it there along with the other want list.   

And, I would do the same if I needed to...

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

Was able to get Super Star Soldier....thanks Mathius!

So, that's two off the list. 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

Bump Bumpidy Bump Bump Bump!
;)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

Persistence?  Is that Latin for......flea market?   ;)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

I hear ya'.  At one time I could say "I completed the collection in 2003."  But.........now.......

One was stolen in transit to move here, one was damaged (Cotton) and well.....the rest is too sad.  lol. 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

It went for $569.09.

Yeah, I know about the Japanese version.  But, the collector-in-me just won't have it any other way I guess.  Ha ha.   Hopefully someone will just have the Disc randomly sitting around for NO reason one day.....

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Some games and some misc.]

Got the M and M III.  Thanks!!!

Was going to bid on a Cotton on Ebay but.......wow........um, I guess I'll be NOT having that one again for the $550 or something it just went for.  Damn!  It is a shame that mine cracked somehow and I don't know why.  Why couldn't it have been Buster Bros. or something cheaper.  Sigh!!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Some games and some misc.]

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Duo Tap and Duo Pads!]

Hey MG....since you're spending postage anyway....got a couple hundred bucks?  ;)

Thanks again!
Chris

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Duo Tap and Duo Pads!]

Damn!  That's awesome.  Wow, thanks so much my friend!  I don't know how to thank you.
Chris

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Super Star Soldier (chip!)]

Hi gang!

I am still looking for a Super Star Soldier (chip only) U.S. replacement.  The deal I had going apparently fell through.  Does anyone else have an extra copy?
Thanks very much!
Chris Bucci

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Duo Tap and Duo Pads!]

Hi gang!

Can you point me in the direction (or have a source for) a Duo Tap and a Duo Pad (or multiple, but one at least).  Used / working is just fine. 
Thanks a lot!
Chris Bucci

[Fighting Street / Re: Cotton is my now my b1tch!!]

I saw this post recently when I was looking up "Cotton" information (for an upcoming review). 

It got me super motivated!  Took a LONG time....but....I finally beat the second pass myself and saw those darn credits (on default settings).  Whew!  I feel great.

That whole "nobody cares but you, why don't you just give up" thing was hitting me.  But, I figured if I could share it here on the forum...that might make it more special.  Ha ha.
Thanks gang!
Chris Bucci

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Super Star Soldier (chip!)]

I know!  Ha ha.  I have NEVER had a "chip" that didn't work.  I mean....I've had a game or two "freeze" but....it always worked after restarting.  You know?

This one literally just comes up with a white screen. Ugh!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Super Star Soldier (chip!)]

Froze on the last boss.  Then refused to work.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Giving Deep Blue another chance]

Why did my Super Star Soldier have to break and not this hulking pile of fish dung?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Super Star Soldier (chip!)]

Hey, thanks a lot.  I ended up buying one from someone else on the forum!  So.....it's all good!   
Thanks!!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Super Star Soldier (chip!)]

Hey guys!

I was able to get one so....thanks for the quick and awesome responses.

I think the game was mad because I got THIS close to defeating it (especially since I have been trying to since I was a kid).  Oh....OH....it's not beating me that easily!!!!!!!  Muhahahahahah!!!!!!

Thanks again!
Chris Bucci

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Super Star Soldier (chip!)]

Hi guys.  Just to clarify, I am looking for the U.S. version.  Thanks! 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Super Star Soldier (chip!)]

Hey gang!

I am looking for a Super Star Soldier, chip only (working). Ha ha.

Anybody have an extra? If so, let me know how much.  Thanks a lot!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Views: Vol. 2 DVD "Pre-Orders" (one-week remaining!)]

Hey Mason!  Awesome my friend.....send me a link!

TurboStar....sure, you can order whenever you like.  I will make sure to save you one. 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Views: Vol. 2 DVD "Pre-Orders" (one-week remaining!)]

Ha ha!  I'm glad you like the simple Easter Eggs.  Ha ha. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Eh, he sucks!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Views: Vol. 2 DVD "Pre-Orders" (one-week remaining!)]

Awesome guys.  Let me know what you think!   

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Views: Vol. 2 DVD "Pre-Orders" (one-week remaining!)]

Thanks guys.  I hope you enjoy it........I really try to make them a TurboGrafx collectible! 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Views: Vol. 2 DVD "Pre-Orders" (one-week remaining!)]

And...........ALL sent!  The response was overwhelming.  Thanks guys.  You're all the best.  Happy TurboGrafx-ing!   

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Views: Vol. 2 DVD "Pre-Orders" (one-week remaining!)]

I am actually a "day" behind (due to the holidays kicking my a(#, ha ha!).  So.......no, it's not too late.  I will probably end the pre-order tomorrow about lunch time right as I'm sealing up this phase of the project.   

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbo Views: Vol. 2 DVD "Pre-Orders" (one-week remaining!)]

Wow guys...honestly, I am overwhelmed by the wonderful support I have received about this "pre-order."   There is still a little time (will probably end it mid-afternoon Monday) but I was able to secure enough to cover the costs for initial materials.  This helped immensely due to the overwhelming totals of the ole' hospital bills, ha ha.  Thanks so much!

I am hopefully going to have them pressed and out the door by Tuesday or Wednesday.  Here is a rough-cut of the finished cover art.  
Thanks again guys.  You're the best.  

Happy TurboGrafx-ing!
