Afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

New to the forum so I've been reading through the threads and getting proper info about how things work here. I was pointed in this direction after doing research on where to purchase NEC consoles. My brother has a Turbografx-16 with a CD attachment but lacks the AC adapter for it. So I was doing research on where to purchase accessories and read that this is the forum to look for anything pc engine.

My brothers Turbografx-16 was first bought in the 90s. I played it as a kid but unfortunately I was only limited to playing fighting street, legendary axe, ninja spirit, keith's courage and bonk's adventure. Back then he stopped buying games so thats all we had. Now I'm older.. but unfortunately I'm starting too late to purchase/collect Turbografx systems/games. I have a small sega genesis collection, though I kinda felt I should have started buying into the Turbografx 10 years ago, maybe even when i started working. ..sigh...

Anyways thanks for reading. Hope to get to know you all and relive my childhood memories with more Turbografx in my life. Thank you!

Welcome aboard!  It's never too late; you just need to stick to the more common titles (many are still far cheaper than original msrp), buy the PCE equivalent, and/or get a flashcart.

By the way, I can't help but think of Leon Phelps when I see your name:  "Yeah, that should be da butt."  :mrgreen:

Welcome.  Enjoy.  And yeah there are many chances to play the TG-16 goodness.  assuming you still have those titles lying around those are some great games on the system.  If not you'll soon find enough opportunities around. :)

Legendary axe and Bonk are among my favorite games.
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!

Thank you everybody for the warm welcomes! I've been lurking the forum as I should be! Realizing once again... I started too late... hopefully within the next couple weeks I will have purchased a Duo from a long time veteran of this forum... and on a side note I called up a local retro game shop and they have a turbo express for 200.... lets hope its still there by the weekend... pay day a coming.

Thank you again!
