WTB: TurboGrafx 16

[frostiex]

Hi All,
I am on the hunt for a TurboGrafx 16.
also looking for games and such. Preference goes to a complete set with 2 controllers and some games.

My setup has gone missing since the move years ago and I am mighty sad

let me know what you have and asking price.

thanks

If you don't have any luck here, kijiji or via ebay I'm sure that Video Game Trader on Centre street would have a complete set for you. I think there might be a location on 17 ave SE as well. They have lots of stuff to bring back the 8 and 16 bit memories of our youth.

Wow, haven't heard anyone speak of this system in over 10 years. Hopefully you find one.

Good on you. I'd recommend you look for a Turbo Duo so you can take advantage of the CD games for Turbo Grafx/PC Engine.

I have a TG16/PCE emulator running on my PS3 which is pretty awesome but it doesn't support any of the CD games AFAIK.

Is this for nostaliga purposes?

I used to have one around, not sure where it is anymore, will look for it for you.

But if you just want to play the games, pick up a Wii - I have a TG16 emulator on my homebrew and it works great. Only thing I miss is the turbo buttons that came with the TG16 controllers

Truxton. Best TGFX 16 game ever. I played the hell out of that game.

Come on, someone here had to have been on, and solved the Kidstreet Rebus back in the day!

That was my childhood dream at least. To march out of there as Kevin Frank handed me my new game console. what could have been...

I will never forgive my father for selling mine when i got my genesis.

Here's the kicker,

TG16s are hard to find because of the short life of the console and rarity outside major cities back in the day.

That's in North America though. In Japan, the PC Engine (original name of the system) lived on until the late 90s and there are tons of different consoles made, these might be easier to find? AFAIK, there is no software region protection on most games, some need an adapter.

I'm really getting into this system at this moment. I love it!

Sorry guys..I totally forgot about this post and I am still looking for one.
It is for Nostalgic reasons. I have a corner of my room that is setup with all my OLD consoles.....lol

thanks all if you can ever have one for sale or know where I can find one. I would really appreciate it.

What is one of these things worth?
