Nice bump... I've got to admit I would much rather use a power console than a wimply lil duo tap when playing a 2 player game!

LOL especially it it meant the first player had to use the power console controller itself!

Apparently, NEC designed the Power Console to support daisy-chaining. This allowed up to five Power Consoles to be daisy-chained together for maximum MotoRoader mayhem.

i think its hilarious that even the box you used was altered for the page - so nothing on the page was real!

That's what I was thinking. 5 of those things at once! Largest console ever!

Yes.

By the way @ccovell thanks for the laughs!

That... may just be the greatest Turbo experience of a life time.

Hahahaha, I knew it, good one.

amazing find!

ccovell · 03/31/2017, 05:59 PM

Thanks! But a per-page reminder: this was an April Fool's joke.

Psycho Punch · 03/31/2017, 06:55 PM

What a classic. And I actually believed all of it, including the coin/note feeder part at the end! Shame on me lol.

I completely forgot that my own comment here: about daisy-chaining up to 5 Power Consoles for MOTURBO.

I was just thinking about this for the first time in years a few minutes ago thanks to my wife reminding me that it was April Fool's Day tomorrow. This necro-bump seems too convenient.

Michirin9801 · 03/31/2017, 11:22 PM

Thanks for the bump! I never knew about the Power Console, even if this 'find' was an April fools (and I got fooled 5 years later, lol) it was still good learning about something I didn't know, also yeah, it was a good laugh ;3
