I wish I bought a Turbografx system in its heyday. I remember seeing them at Toys R Us for $50 near the end of its run in the U.S.
I had no issue with PC games back in the day, even on a basic computer. I wish I could play Dark Earth again. I have so much nostalgia for it, but I would have no idea how to play it these days.
Lol strange it sure looks like you do? What's with the angry messages and what's it got to do with what I said? Maybe stay on point?That's cool, I look forward to your petty "I told you so."Don't worry there's millions of those PCE-CD games in circulation it'll be awhile before it affects your anecdotal 5 disc collection.
Lol I'm glad I don't take forum posts personally like you do. Seems a miserable way to live.
"Seems a miserable way to live." I think your projecting about yourself buddy.

scoobs22, anecdotal evidence means nothing you know? 25 years passing doesn't mean the suddenly break, it means the risk starts to climb from this point onwards.Disc life is 25 years before it starts eroding. If you want to see what the process looks like speeded up, look at VHS tapes.
There's no firm, predictable number of years as you're suggesting. I have nearly 40 TG-CD/PCE-CD games that have survived 25 years and not a single one has signs of becoming degraded. The quality of manufacturing and the way the disc has been handled are two factors that you have to consider.

Nah, I'm not worried.
I've heard the composite only version lets you choose the aspect ratio, which I would suggest is essential here. I might pick up the composite version just for this option.
I subscribe to the AtariAge take on necrobumping- if you've got something relevant to add that warrants bumping a thread, how old it is isn't terribly important. Of course, it's something that varies pretty wildly around the net.
Personally, I think for general opinion kind of things ('What's your top 10 games', 'is X system worth buying', etc.) maybe keep it within about a year. For something where the dialog has changed, older can be fine- for example, a thread about Limited Run Games from back at Breach & Clear's release that hasn't been active for a year and a half could reasonably be bumped to discuss adding Switch games to the lineup on a preorder basis- since now there's new information that might make people want to revise their earlier statements.
I'd love to hear the mod's take on this, since it's kind of a divisive thing.
Though kinda rare to find these days. there were a few flat televisions that did both composite and HDMI I used to own one. But I have no clue of where to find another one
Too many games too little time.
You truly have my deepest sympathy. I've only got one CRT and I'll be devastated whenever it buys the farm. I hope you find a solution that makes you happy sooner rather than later.
In the short term, maybe look at this little device on Amazon https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V2ULHBS/. I've bought one and used it a bit in my bedroom (no CRT in there), and it's serviceable with the original consoles, if not ideal. Right now I run an AV Famicom (composite) and a 3DO (S-video) through it. For the cost, it's a good temporary solution if nothing else.
