I never owned one of these.
What was it like?

the turbographix 16 is the ultimate example of what a shitty idea trying to make money on add ons is. You need an add on to save games, and you need and add on to add add ons... jesus christ

Well, the system itself without the add-ons seems like a pretty neat concept. A very small system that plays games (that aren't really interesting).
But yeah, if you need add-ons for add-ons, that is going overboard, unless it is mainly for aesthetics (like how Game Boy would have magnifying glass and lights etc)?

Yeah, usually console periphals are more miss than hit. The only ones that seem to succeed are controller based items, such as the Rumble Pak or music/rhythm input devices.

Probably the best 4th gen console for shmups. Had a couple of great platformers as well like Bonk and Rondo.
