I never did an intro for myself when I joined as I was still becoming familiar with the site. I mostly and quickly went straight to the repair mod section of the forums as my Duo has a few issues that I am going to be fixing shortly.

Some of you may have seen some of my posts, hopefully I am not to annoying yet and not coming off as a leach. But, Galam has already sent me Buster Bro's a short while ago... new member raffle... And I am trying to become a part of the community here.

Some background...

I have had a TurboGrafx-16 since 1990 I think we got it about 6months to a year after the initial release of the console. I think I was around 14yrs old at the time. My dad is a huge video game player, even to this day, and he would always buy games at random times. It didn't have to be a birthday or holiday.

We didn't have many TG-16 games early on as my dad seemed to enjoy the genesis a bit more. But, I remember when the Duo came out.... My birthday is close to xmas so that year for xmas I asked my dad if I could get one for my b-day and xmas. He did and I was really happy. To my surprise he even had a segacd the first version of it. It was an amazing xmas that year.

Anyways... as time moved on I got a job and started buying as many games as I could for the system around the years of 1994 - 1997. After that I really didn't do much. I played and beat most of the games I had. They eventually went into a box at my dads house under the stairs for storage. Fast forward to now 20 some years later, I dug out my Duo and I am still enjoying the games I have and so is my fiance.

Out of all my consoles this is the console that has stood the test of time for me. I am glad to be a part of this community and glad I was not shunned or should I say jumping right to the for sale section and saying WTB all games, I have two kidneys willing to sell one of them.

Welcome to PCEnginefx!

So what games do you have, and which ones are your favorites?

So what games do you have, and which ones are your favorites?

Well, I have a good chunk of games for this system. Most of them I had from back when they came out but I recently bought a few here on the forums. A couple I wanted to play but never did and a couple I thought my fiance would enjoy.

I attached a list of games I own in .doc format. As I count it I own 64 of the games for this console. Maybe more if you count the 3n1 cd as 4 games instead of 1.

I prefer old school RPG's over other types of games usually. So my favorites on this system are:

Neutopia 1 & 2
Cosmic Fantasy 2
Dungeon Exporer 1 & 2
Y's 1 - 3
Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes

Beyond those games I spent most of my time playing
Exile: Wicked Phenomenon .... Bought Exile a week or two ago and am playing through it now. I get side tracked though and havn't played it in like a week now.

Cadash, Order of the Griffon, and especially Super Star Soldier and Gate of Thunder.

There was a time around when I was 18'ish.... Where I was drunk and prolly high, at one of the parties at my place where I played through Gate of Thunder and beat it without dying.

The rest of the games I most likely beat at one time or another but these are the must haves for me.

Since you love Ys 1-3, you gotta get yourself a copy of Ys IV with the translation patch.

MNKyDeth · 04/29/2015, 11:02 AM

I saw that Y's 4 thread... I downloaded the video and text patch. But I have never done the .toc editing before. I do have the Y's 4 bin/cue I just need to do the actual burn.

The only comp I have with a optical drive in it is my HTPC and it runs Linux so for me it's just a matter of reading some instructions hopefully and just getting it done with whatever software I decide to use. I am hoping K3B will do the job but not sure if there is anything special I need to do yet for it.

Y's 3 seemed a bit choppy in the movement but it's a Y's game, you know? I have all the Y's games on steam as well. I only finished the first one so far on it. Figured at some point I would get to the others. It just feels weird playing on a PS4 controller on the old school games. I so enjoy the rapid fire switches on the default NEC controllers.
