Just Thought I'd Say Hello

[gheebee]

I always remember being very impressed by the TG16 commercials back when they started test marketing it in NY and other places when I was a kid but I never had money to get one. It's funny how back then I used to have this feeling about how I would never own things that I couldn't afford (or wasn't allowed to buy, but this wasn't one of those things...) because I figured by the time I could buy one they would more or less no longer exist. I was proven wrong about this years later in the mid to late 90s when I found a whole shelf of the consoles in Toys 'R Us for like $40 each and then a bunch of marked down games. Once I got the system home, even after all those years since seeing it advertised, it didn't disappoint and has remained one of my favorite consoles of all time. I definitely played a lot more NES and Genesis, mainly because I didn't have a lot of games for TG16 since almost no stores sold them and all the games disappeared from Toys 'R Us shortly after I bought my system, but I really thought this one was something special. Only one person I knew had one of these and I was lucky enough to talk them into selling me Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, and Splatterhouse, so I pretty much always had the games I wanted most for this thing.
Every so often I feel like playing video games again and this time around I went with the TG16. Wound up buying this RCA adapter that plugs into the CD-ROM attachment port (not the Booster, a home made item from ebay that cost a lot less; works great!) and now I feel like my system has new life breathed into it. Also bought a Core Grafx with a region switch mod so I could play my Japanese New Adventure Island game (buying the Core Grafx and the Japanese card was cheaper than the only US version I could find...) and it showed up the same day as the AV adapter but the power supply made popping noises and smelled like burnt plastic when I plugged it in so now I have to wait for another to show up and hope that the adapter didn't kill the system when it malfunctioned.
Anyway, that is my long winded intro/hello and I really wonder if I'll have much more to say about this system despite how much I enjoy it but I wanted to join anyway since I'd heard good things about the site.

Join any conversation. Even if it is just to say: I did/didn't like this game, this part of the game, the music, the box art, etc.

Of to ask questions.

Talk.
Play.
Obey.

Thank you all for the welcomes!

If you want to delve into some nostalgia, Esteban and I both run sites with tons of turbografx related magazine scans and ads.

I've actually been checking out a lot of stuff like that lately, including those sites which I enjoyed. Pretty nice collection there! It may have been linked from either site but I didn't see it so I figured I'd mention the 2 promo videos that are up on Youtube (1, 2) even though I'd imagine you have already seen them. Watched the one with the 2 kids twice in the last few days. lol
