i cant remember if any of my local rental stores had turbografx. i remember my bros renting nes games tho.

The entire Sega Master System library.

>>9546163
i had a tg16 growing up, would always check the PX for new games, impossimole and bravo man had such shitty box art and back of the box screenshots i never bothered wanting them

but to be fair, most TG16 US cover art was absolute trash

>>9546164
Miracle warriors looks cool as fuck.

The most bizarre master system box art is wonderboy to me, he looks like a psycho, it's a really odd cover art to me

picrel sticks out in my mind. even remember having a dream about this game based on the cover despite never playing it

>>9546192
It's actually pretty good. Nice music too.

steve martin bros...

I was lucky and had a rental store that kept these around until the early 90's. I got to at least try a decent portion of the library back in the day. It wasn't a great system compared to the NES but there were a few gems

Loved Gunstar Heroes though..

He honestly looks like Krang. Crazy-looking pseudo-human robot body, weird alien brain-blob driving it around. (The alien is unwisely exposing itself in this case by acting as the robot's hair.)

Some elf-orc hybrid screaming over his shoulder at me while drool makes strings in his mouth. No thank you, Family Video

>>9546365
As a child I'd see the wall of them at the video store and simultaneously think it was cool to see all the boxes so unified to tell you "VIDEO GAMES" in your little brain, but at the same time also completely uninterested in them because they looked as exciting as doing homework.

>>9546424
My local game store had a copy of this for $2 for years and I kept considering it but never bought it.

Test

My older brother always said it was too hard so we never rented it.
He's kinda right though, the difficulty is really up there.

>doa2? the fuck is that? generic ass cover, whatever...
>pass it by on the rental store for like 4-5? years
>one day start watching g4 icons on oatmeal cookie face man
>they talk about DOA2
>"ooooh so this is what that game is about, i've been missing out this whole time"
>rent it the next day and play it to death.
>buy xbox and get doa3, ninja gaiden, doax, and later doa2 ultimate and play all of them to death.
I learned not to judge a 'book' by its cover with doa2.

>>9546191
>Konami...huh, it looks like mgs, hybrid heaven? outer heaven? is this a spin off? is that Liquid? guess i'll check it out
>wtf is that guy naked?
>wtf am i doing?
>what the hell is that?
>who the hell are you!?

I wish these Zoomers would have ported Zero Divide to more stuff instead of regurgitating Phalanx over and over again

>>9546142
Zombies ate my neighbours. Oddly enough I constantly rented Bart's nightmare and spiderman in arcades revenge.

>>9546145
No place in the world had tg16 games for rent zoomer.

>>9547002
Willow Video in Richmond British Columbia Canada did. Same with Neo Geo and all sorts of other rare shit. I was absolutely gutted when they went out of business.

When I finally gave this ge a chance a few years ago I was blown away by how much I enjoyed it. Wouldn't have rented it as a kid in a million fucking year though haha.

>>9546142
i honestly think this is one of the coolest boxarts ever.

>>9546946
>constantly rented Bart's Nightmare
I rented this one a few too many times myself. The mini game style lent itself to this well. It hid the general lack of substance.


I wanted to try picrel but always had something else to try first.

>>9547017
The Willow Video in langely is still open last I checked. Had some amazing pickups from there when I was game collecting.

The one with the baby wearing sunglasses and blowing a spit bubble. Bust-a-move maybe?

That and some BMX game where a dude was screaming and I think someone was coming out of his mouth.

You fuckin kiddin me mate? Those games were GREAT.

Sounds like you were poorfags that didn't have access to magazines.

>>9547216
>That and some BMX game where a dude was screaming and I think someone was coming out of his mouth.

That one has shown up a couple of times lately in ads in Nintendo Power threads. The game may be fine but I do not like those pictures at all. I think there are three variations? They're all unpleasant.

all the games i remember seeing on the blockbuster/local rental shop i got to play later in life thanks to emulation.

turns out most of them were shit. somehow us kids could pick out what was shit and what wasnt

>>9547032
Me too fren. It's iconic, funny, charming, and thought provoking all at once. Great art.

>>9547002
>t. Zoomer

these

>>9546201
I came here to post this!

>>9546164
Pro Wrestling was the best cover

>>9546142
Honestly it’s this

>>9547002
Yes they did. I rented the system, that’s how I played it my first time.

>>9546142
I just realized that if you look real close at the ship, it's just an X-Wing with some bits chopped off.

>>9546142
Washers, kinda similar to horseshoes, and virtual reality games, not sure I wanna miss it, I think it's around $150 or thereabouts.
I've got Pixel Ripped 1995: On the Road too, i'm sure gonna do this as it's compatible with most Audi cars

>>9546789
The last three levels are too hard to enjoy, you have be extremely precise in your movement, while dealing with inverted physics.

I dropped the difficulty to easy and cruised to the end and said fuck it. No way am I forcing my way through something that exacting. Too bad, because the first two-thirds of the game are pretty good.

>>9546393
I did buy that game. It's Blizzard's best series.

>>9546142
Hitman 2 Silent Assassin, rent a game to get stuck, nah...

>>9546142
Any Final Fantasy game. Just not into RPG's.

>>9546164
That's too bad because the entire SMS library had better graphics and sound than the NES library.

I wish I could say the same for Yoshi's Island and RE4, they're both terrible games.

>>9552262
What makes you think I care about better graphics and sound if I post on a board dedicated to retro video games?
