Who owned a Turbografix 16?

[Anonymous No.9920901]

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.

Supposedly, the Turbo was primarily focused on urban area markets, so if you didn't live in a big city, you probably never saw them for sale.

[Anonymous No.9920924]

My brother bought one from a kid we went to school with. This was probably around 1993. Had a decent handful of games with it. I didn't know anyone else irl who had one. Loved Ninja Spirit, Legendary Axe was alright, and played a decent amount of Cratermaze. Wanted to like JJ & Jeff, but i sucked at it. We probably had it for a year or two, but I think he sold/traded it towards some music equipment or something. Wish I could have bought it from him, I think I played it more than he did.
Was cool getting to play different stuff than most kids at school were talking about.

My friend in elementary school owned one among other systems. Our group were not console warriors in the slightest, as we always would share our systems and games, but I think EGM reviews heavily influenced us so we stuck to high profile Genesis and SNES games when we went to his house for sleepovers. I know for sure we played Bonk once and possibly Keith Courage as well. Only other experience with it was the TG-16 kiosk at FAO Schwartz.

Strictly the console for urban sophisticates.

There were kiosks for it around me that had a screen which showed off a lot of the titles. I got my TurboDuo+TurboExpress late just before the release of the Dreamcast, but I had desired the system based on all the cool games the system had demonstrated in magazines, the great trade show showings, and 4 other friends which had the system at the time. There were definitely more of the other systems around, but around my circle of friends, there were fewer NeoGeo owners at the time since that one was truly out of reach to their potential audience.

Not yet. They only confirmed that Everdrives should fit in the slot. The Pro is too recent I think for them to have commented on it I think.

Grew up in small city in south and we got one some how. Oldest brother was nerd and had nerd friends. Keith Courage was fun, good music. Dungeon Explorer was cool, first boss a DPS check though and most classes too slow.

We also had CD attachment. We had Valis 2, with anime cut scenes, it was awesome. Still have some of the voice lines stuck in my head.

The holy grail was our copy of Ranma 1/2. Seeing titties, anime titties and in a video game was the best. I hadn’t found the woods porn yet. No nips but still it was enough. Game was hard as fuck too.

I saw them in Churchill, Manitoba on release. THAT is very remote. I was a kid, I think the arcade operator had some for play. Not sure if it was readily available at the Northern Store.

The graphics really blew my mind back then though! We did have a really nice arcade as well as a theatre so I got to see cool movies such as Ninja Turtles even though I was at the North Pole.

A friend of mine had one back in the early 90s. I remember him playing J.J. and Jeff (Kato and Ken - in Japan). Even the Americanized version we got was hilarious and i got to kick a guy off from a toilet in the men’s room.

Later on in the late 90s I paid some kid $20 (literally a $20 bill in an envelope) and he sent me a copy of Dracula X on a gold cdr (that I still have) and played on some older emulator called MagicEngine with a goofy MicroSoft serial controller (you know the one).

The MVS arcade system was everywhere, but I only remember 2 persons/groups that had the home AES system.

As a kid there was a ghetto dept store in our town called PrangeWay that had a deal on turbografx systems one year before christmas. The store even included an additional game with purchase. Quite a few kids I went to school with had this exact shit. Didn't realize how obscure this thing was until we moved to a larger city several years later.

depends what you like.
system was very good for shooters and RPGs, and has a lot of quality sidescrollers and puzzle games as well

I like Neutopia 2 never played the first. It is basically a Zelda clone but better.

I got this but it was after christmas, openbox and was marked down even further. It was cheaper than an NES.

Good for RPGs just not for EOP sadly, hoping people start hitting the TG RPGs hard once they run out of games on other consoles

I saw it demoed when I was like 10 at north pier in Chicago they had a bunch of them setup playing bonk and you could buy it right there. Graphics did look crazy good to me at that time.

No, however I kind of want to watch a pic because I think the game is pretty fun (supposedly the anime made a bunch of changes but the game is based off the manga). Wataru looks neat.

I owned a pc engine duo with like 50 games and selling it all when I moved has been a biggest regret in life.

I know how you feel. It sucks how for a lot of us our moms convinced us to ditch these old consoles since they took up precious space I guess that many of us didn't have enough of. I am one of few in the US who has a genuine nostalgia for the console so its a shame I no longer have mine. I had at least 10-20 games for it. I know it definitely was 10 but I may have had even more than 20. As of now I only have 5 games left for it but no console. I'm sure prices are absurd for the games and the console at this point. If people only knew how valuable this stuff would get in the future.

Anyone preorder the Analogue system? I have a mister but still tempted, I do like hucards.

[Anonymous No.9950108]

turbografx16, or the pcengine duo as it was called here prolly would've been more successful if they weren't afraid of being japanese.
had the best soundtracks hands down, listen to this shit in comparison to each other.

That’s the code to the core for TG16 but it’s specifically for the MiSTer framework, which runs on the Terasic DE10-Nano. You need to buy the DE10, then flash MiSTer onto an SD card. It’ll pull the cores themselves (like TG16 and other consoles.

I grew up in northern New England in the boonies (up in the woods). Played tons of games in the '90s for the Genesis, NES, SNES and PS1. Only saw a TG16 when we went to visit my cousins in Boston. Loved playing Military Madness with them back then. Never got one myself until 2015.

Is Fantasia 2000 the one where you pick like robocop or Saddam Hussein and when you do poorly the girl turns into like a pic of a cenobite?
