/vr/ - Retro Games

Did anyone actually own this back in the day? I don't think I've ever seen one out in the wild. Where I lived it was all super nintendo with a few sega genesis owners. I saw more nintendo entertainment systems around than these.

Just imagine buying this heap of shit. Not only were there no games at your local game store, but the games that did exist were almost all either ports, or a forgettable knock-off, or worse versions of games which later came out on actually successful systems.

Just imagine buying this one. Especially in 2020.

was it a good console TurboGrafx-16

So you were born in the late 80s but had no idea the Turbografx existed while growing up, just Nintendo and Sony.

Why was that?

So I'll just try to make a PCE General type post

What is the best version of the system to try to buy these days? Do the Japanese PCE systems work in the US? Are there any actual drawbacks to getting the Turbografx-16 instead?
What is the best way to emulate it on the Wii?

>make one of the most aesthetically pleasing consoles in history
>when selling it in the US they made this giant ugly piece of shit
What the fuck were they thinking?

Should I buy a Turbografx 16?

I have never owned one, never played one, and have no experience with the system, but the other 8 and 16 bit consoles remain my absolute favorites. There are a few well-known gems on it that I know I would like to play (Rondo of Blood, Bonk, R-Type, Bomberman, Star Soldier), and probably more than a few other lesser-known hits. What does /vr/ think about it? Is it worth picking up? Any game recommendations if I do?

WHY WHERE THERE SO MANY DAMN VERSIONS. Or are you telling me the Turbografix-16 was completely different from the PC-Engine?

I need some good Turbografx-16 recommendations.
