Introduction

TurboGrafx · 02/11/2015, 09:33 PM

Hello, everyone! My name is Jeff, and I am happy to be a member of the forums. I may be new to the forums, but I have been into video games my whole life. I grew up in the 16 bit era, and my older brothers got the sega genesis and super nintendo (one each) when they were released. I wanted to get a system for myself (or at least from my parents lol), so the Turbo-Grafx 16 made the most sense. Video games growing up were a big part of my childhood and they bring me that nostalgic feeling when I play them now (I am turning 30). I had some of the popular games for the TurboGrafx games, but I never played a lot of the great titles. Many of the these games are unknown and underrated to people. Recently, I decided that I wanted to own every TurboGrafx game, so that i can get the joy of trying new games for the first time and reliving some of the classics. Although a lot of the games have gone up in price, what price can you put on feeling like a kid again?

Funny you should ask, our latest resident flipper "tbone" would say $550 for an average RPG of that era.

Trüth.

And, welcome, again, to the forums, TurboGrafx!

Welcome!
Have fun "collecting" but make sure you play the games too. Much better than just staring at them on a shelf.

Looks like his hands function like the claws of a sloth.

This is really tripping me out, because TurboGrafx's userid at GameTZ is Toymachine, that's why I had assumed he always had an account here when I talked to him. Turns out he had no idea what the hell I was talking about, haha, and for good reason, you're just a doppelganger!

ToyMachine78 · 02/12/2015, 02:54 PM

I'm the OG TM since 78 lol

I can see how this caused some confusion lol.
