I'm a new Turbografx collector. Welcome Me !

DQ187 · 08/09/2015, 04:12 AM

Hello everyone. My name is David but you can call me DQ. I made a post in another thread but figured i would officially introduce myself. I'm new to collecting for Turbografx but have a nice little collection going already. I've collected for alot of other systems over the years but Turbografx always eluded me. I never knew anyone who had one growing up and didn't really start thinking about getting one till a few years ago. I finally jumped in last month and bought my first system complete in box with a few games i was wanting! I'm a big shooter fan so some of these were a must!

Here's pics of my Turbo collection so far:

An here's the game collection!

Spent quite a bit on the bundle of Turbo games but it's worth it to me. I've played Soldier Blade and Super Star Solider for a while on my Vita and loved em. Air Zonk was one i had always heard was amazing and always wanted to play.

So far I'm loving the system! Play it everyday after work! Me an my girl have been playing alot of Bomberman as she was always a big fan of the series. Beat Cadash a number of times now! Absolutely love Air Zonk & was finally was able to 1CC Soldier Blade with 1,892,000 points!

I secured another pretty awesome bundle this past weekend. 2 separate ones actually. First was for a sealed Blazing Lazers and sealed R-Type. The other was a bundle of 4 sealed games. Bonks Adventure, Bonks Revenge, Dragon Spirit & Bravoman. Also included in that bundle was 3 new controllers. Picked up a multitap nib as well!

I'll have to post another pic when i get the new bundle.

Some may think I'm crazy but i plan on opening the games and enjoying them. I just like to get games in as good as condition as possible. Anyway, I hope to meet some cool people here and maybe do some deals in the future!

Welcome aboard!

Why not make video when you open up any of the sealed games you haven't cracked yet?

DQ187 · 08/09/2015, 04:40 AM

Hey, thanks!

I may have to. I've never made a video like that so it would be a first. I already opened the sealed Aero Blasters i picked up.

ClodBusted · 08/09/2015, 06:05 AM

Make videos, post them to Youtube and shock all those dumb collectards for good.

You know what's funny is I've thought about making a YouTube channel dedicated to just that, haha. Ive opened
quite a few rare sealed games over the years.

I don't know if I'd ever go through with it though. I'm not one to try and seek attention. I don't even have any social network accounts or anything. This is only the 2nd forum I've ever posted on.

Ok, I don't have the silly Facebook stuff, either. (OR WHATEVER THE NEW THING IS... Instagram? Snapchat? YouPornTube? Pinterest? Tweeter? Blodia? Timeball? Twitter?)

But, simply send me your sealed games and I will make videos as I unwrap them.

Sometimes, I may unwrap myself, too, but we can decide on the show's formula later (see, it should be a series!)

Seriously, though, you can make a video without showing yourself or saying anything.

In fact, if you shot the raw footage, I would gladly create a video from it.

"Sealed games want to be free" could be our tag line or mantra.

Sadly, I really want to do this, but I understand if you are scared.

DON'T BE.

Keep phone/camera steady and film.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF PRESSURE TO DO THIS NOW.

Don't blame me.

TG-16 can be intense.

Welcome, comrade.

Gentlegamer · 08/09/2015, 07:31 AM

Normally I would not have anything nice to say about someone joining to talk about collectard stuff, but if you buy sealed games to open them, you have my support.

PunkCryborg · 08/09/2015, 07:56 AM

Cool on the Soldier Blade 1cc. If you got a pic of your high score post it up in the high score thread

ClodBusted · 08/09/2015, 08:36 AM

If you don't want to create a Youtube channel, I can post the videos for you on my channel as well.

This is how I roll also, I'll buy sealed/new if I can and just open them up and play them. Welcome aboard!

DQ187 · 08/09/2015, 01:59 PM

Thanks for the welcome everybody!

Didn't know so many people would be for opening sealed games, lol, I'll try an do a video when I get the new bundle or at least take some good pics!

And I'll definately have to get in on the high score thread! Just set a new score last night on Soldier Blade!

+ i tried the Challenge levels for the first time and snapped a pic of all 3 scores!

Can't say I've ever heard the word "Collectard" haha. Does it make me one because i have a collection and came to talk about it?

Quote from: guest on 08/09/2015, 02:29 PM"Collectard" isn't an entirely derogatory term. Many of us self apply the term. I.e. I have a bunch of CIB games but usually just use my everdrive, I'm such a collectard.

Since you open your sealed games and play them, RJ is pleased and the community will not flog you.

This video just gets better and better.

Welcome to the forums!

In my opinion, there are two options: you open them now and you become famous or you keep them for 150 more years and you become a millionaire. The choice is yours.

opening a sealed games in front of people who collect.....
while screaming "unleash the kraken !"

sure is fun to watch as they scream in terror

(for the most of them) I dont get people who keep sealed games...
only reason i see to keep them sealed is for money value...

2 of my friends are doing that...

they never try any games...

DQ187 · 08/10/2015, 01:04 PM

Well look no further!

I don't really understand the sealed collector. I sorta tried it for a bit i guess. I remember picking up alot of sealed collectors editions for ps3. Along with quite a few sealed Super Nintendo & 64 games. I cashed out on some eventually to fund more games I wanted to play but for the price i sold some at in auction I wish I would of just kept them and opened em up to have a really nice cib. One i regret was Super Castlevania IV. Only sold for about $220 at auction. Wish I would just kept it and opened it up. It was about 2 years ago when I wised up and got rid of all my sealed games to get more awesome games to play. There's no sense in having a game on the shelf that can't be enjoyed!

Bardoly · 08/10/2015, 07:43 PM

Welcome to Pcenginefx!

Good job on clearing Soldier Blade! I haven't beaten it yet, but i need to try again. I have beaten Final soldier, though.

grolt · 08/10/2015, 07:58 PM

Nice sig, Mr. Qualls.

Nice collection there, too. Some rare stuff and it all looks in great condition. More importantly, you have a nice sampling of systems that encapsulate much of the history of games, not just picks from one developer or system. Get yourself some nice shelves to display all that shizz though!

DQ187 · 08/10/2015, 09:47 PM

Thanks man I appreciate it! Haha, I know, I'm in desperate need of some new shelving. I keep putting it off.

NightWolve · 08/11/2015, 07:14 PM

Welcome aboard and very nice shots of the ole collection! Super Star Soldier is my most played and favorite shooter of all time just going by hours/replay value. Best sound/music tracks are of stage 2 and stage 6. It's really the perfect shooter in all aspects, challenge, music, vertical level design, bosses, etc. And a true master will enter the Easter Egg code to enable the max difficulty level (which is stated in Japanese) and attempt to beat the game.

Welcome to the forums. Very nice collection. Love to see that you are opening these sealed games and enjoying them. At the end of the day, its just plastic. people shouldn't be trying to profit off this stuff. It should be played, and enjoyed.

DQ187 · 08/12/2015, 02:40 PM

Thanks guys! I love Super Star Soldier! Havnt quite mastered it yet. Feel I've pretty much mastered Soldier Blade now so I will try and get further in Star Soldier.

I agree with you guys about opening the sealed games as well!
