FUCK! I am loving the Turbografx16!

I honestly thought this was another console I will always dream about but never own. But got such an amazing deal!While I don't have the CD add on I still got Ys III. I have Kieth Courage,Bonks Adventure and Final Lap Twin(it's a racing game and RPG hybrid.

None are loose. Well one I bought came with the manual but no case to I took a CD case broke out the middle that pops the disc in place so the game stays flat inside.

Cool. I know next to nothing about the more "obscure" (to me) systems, so will be quite interested in seeing what your impressions are of it...

Rondo of Blood is a PC Engine Super CD which is a format that I believe works in the TG16 CD. It's an amazing game. Other notable CD games are Ys Book I & II, R-Type Complete (basically a combination of the R-Type I and II Hu Cards with different music), and Fighting Street. It plays like complete ass, but I get a kick out of it since it's the FIRST Street Fighter game.

There's a nice bunch of other TG16 titles to discover: R-Type I & II (if you don't get the CD), Splatterhouse, Devil's Crush, Legendary Axe I & II, Neutopia, Bonk's Revenge... just to name a few.

Oh, I can't tell from the pic, but I'd be on the lookout for a Turbo Booster if you don't have one, just to get that sweet, sweet stereo sound. If you get the CD attachment you won't need it as it has the RCA audio out anyway.

Oh, you can buy Hu Card sleeves on eBay if you have any loose cards that you'd like to keep protected.

I've always loved the underdog systems which is why the TG16 holds a special place in my heart.

Hi my name is Ryudo Ys I & II is my fave game of all time and have it on almost every system it ever released on even if I don't have the systems. :P Yeah I been eying TG16 for a long long long time. I really want to get the CD system and get Nutopia 1 & 2.

Yeah, I've gathered that you're the resident Ys fan. ;)

I've only played a bit of I & II on the TGCD so far, but I'll get back to it eventually. Same with Neutopia 1. It's such a Zelda ripoff but I don't mind since it's a ripoff done well.

Bonks Adventure was fun. Not played it since maybe the 80's?

Nah, would have been 90s. Bonk was always a 90s series.

Then at least 1990. I only remember it because it was a friend name Paul. Played it at his house and he moved not to long after that. Last time I played TG16 was maybe 93 or 94. I played Vigilante.
