He everyone, been collecting TG16 for the last year and finally got my hands on a TurboDuo a few weeks ago.  Really looking forward to learning about all the great games i missed out on year ago.

Anyway, just saying hello!

Welcome! to what ever this crazy place is!  Now get playing that DUO!  (p.s. if your duo hasn't had the capacitors changed, have them changed asap)
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)
BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere. You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Welcome to Prime Time B!tch

Corey K

thanks! I don't think i need my capacitors changed, my audio seems fine for the time being (fingers crossed).  Also, I'm in Canada so it's probably going to be trickier to get that job done here.

Bernie

Sup Corey!?  Looks like you should be getting your package tomorrow man.  It's a New York address though... You say you live in Canada?  Oh, and if you got a Duo, I suggest you go ahead and have it serviced.  Its not a matter of IF it fails, but WHEN..  Seriously...  Glad to see ya post.  Lemme know once you get your stuff!  :)

Greetings from Canada!

Everybody is right about getting your caps changed.  When the fail they leak damaging your system.

Oh and welcome to the 16 bit graphics revolution!

Lots of us Canadians have U.S addresses.  It is common for us to rent U.S PO boxes as they come in super handy.  Remember that 90% of the Canadian population lives within 3 hours the U.S border.

Corey K

in that case I guess I better find someone in Canada who can change my caps.  Anyone got some ideas?

Regarding my US address, yes, I live in Montreal, it's about 45 mins from Champlain, NY.  I go there often (Price Chopper rules!).

hmmm I think we have at least one modder in CA.  If not the modders and fixers here are super awesome  :D and will work with you on the shipping and what not. :).

Also that is an awesome game list!

Yeah, plenty of good techs here.  With you having the US address, that will really help as well.

Welcome to pcengine-fx.com!

Nice collection already!

fsa

Welcome. Nice to see another fellow Canadian Turbo fan.

Nice list of games for the short time you have been collecting.
Looking for TG16 games I don't have already.

My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

Corey K

And I just added the following:

Lords Of Thunder
Download 2
L-Dis
Macross 2036
Panic Bomberman
Shockman 1
Shockman 3
Spriggan Mark 2
Super Air Zonk
Toilet Kids

Thanks to Bernie for these!  Can't wait to try them out...

Bernie

You didn't get Lords of Thunder from the Bernie.  :)   I wouldn't have sold that one.

Just as fyi I have found a Turbo modder in Kitchener Ontario.  He offers A/V and S-Video mods.  I don't know if he does anything else but it's a start.  I am meeting up tomorrow to get a S-Video modded Tg-16.

I will let you guys know how it goes :)

Corey K
