I've had mine since I got it for Christmas in 1990, though like an idiot I sold all of my games a while ago. It really is a great console, with plenty of games worth owning like: Bonk 1/2/3 Splatterhouse Alien Crush/Devil's Crush Ninja Spirit Legendary Axe 1 & 2 Neutopia 1 & 2 and plenty others. It's a great system for shooter fans. |

I have a TG-16, nice system with some great games. But Keith Courage is not one of those great games. It's strange, and it's cool to play through for that reason. But it's not gonna win any awards for the greatest platformer. My TG-16 broke a couple years back. My fat-ass cat sat on the controller right where it plugs into the port, and broke the controller port, rendering the console useless. Never thought I'd come across one again at a decent price considering the retro-craze, so I sold all my games. My awesome wife re-brought one for me just last year, after hearing me hold a grudge against the cat for a couple years. Since then I've only re-bought about 3 games for it, so I have a ways to go on getting my colleciton back. As for the greatest systems of the 80s and 90s, come on now Slothing. You can't be serious, are you? With competition like the Commodore 64, NES, SNES, Genesis, and PS1; you can seriously say that? It's a good system, but not the best of the 80s and 90s. Some recommendations, if you get one: Action: -Bloody Wolf -Dungeon Explorer (fun little Gauntlet clone) -Neutopia 1 & 2 (very well-made Zelda clones) -Ninja Spirit -Space Harrier -Splatterhouse (slasher-themed action game) Platformers: -Bonk's Adventure -Bonk's Revenge -Legend of Hero Tonma -New Adventure Island Shoot-Em Ups: (This is the reason to own a TG-16, if you're a shoot-em up fan, a ton of great shmups on here) -Blazing Lazers -Dragon Spirit -Lords of Thunder (this one is actually a CD-attachment game, but IMO, the best shoot-em up EVER. Such an awesome metal-themed rocking soundtrack on this one. I got to play it via Wii's virtual console, well worth the download.) -R-Type -Raiden -Sidearms -Super Star Soldier Other: -Alien Crush (very fun, and unique-looking, video pinball game) -Cadash (an arcade action-RPG, as strange as that may sound, pretty short game, but fun) -Victory Run (Rad Racer/Outrun clone) I never did have the CD-attachment, so I never got to play some of the more well-known ones like Fighting Street (Street Fighter 1), Castlevania: Rondo of Blood or the later Ys titles. |

I mean Nintendo and gen had better games but Nes would sometimes take 40 tries before ya got the damn thing to work...don't get me wrong I love Nes but as far as console goes it wasn't that great. as for SNES, maybe I went to far SNES was good as shit. The idea of hucards was awesome!! Lots of space easy cleaning:) but maybe I went a lil overboard with it lol.. SNES and tg-16 was the best(IMO) |

Certainly not the most popular. I remember being a kid during that time frame, and never heard of or seen a Turbografx. I remember even in 1991, one of my friends had an Atari 2600 with like 50 games, but never a TG 16. When I learned what it was over the past year, I was amazed that some of the games looked excellent, and the console itself seemed very durable!! I couldnt believe I never heard of it. Same thing for me with the Sega Master System, all though popular in Europe, it died out in the US fairly quickly. I bought one roughly 2 months ago and actually love it. I feel like if it had the same library or similar to NES, it would have been great competition. SlothinXPIG, if you do not have a Sega Master System, I recommend one of those, and to get Space Harrier in 3d, get the 3d glasses, and regular non 3d games like Phantasy Star, There was a golden axe game on it, Rampage, Alex Kidd and several more! Great under rated system in my opinion. |
