I know I can't be the only one with an original Turbo Grafx 16 (Dad's hand me down) Though I haven't tested it in years so not even sure if it still works. I am a bit disappointed though they don't have some of the games I played most listed to be on this though. I know most aren't in to retro gaming, but I still think some of the older games are fun to play now and then.

TBH, I only know the TurboGrafx from Atop the Fourth Wall. Y'know, with the TG comics that have some guy fighting against not!Sega.

90s were weird like that.

There were no "console wars" in my house. My Dad bought all the consoles, all the PC games and played them in between designing microchips. We had a 6 bedroom, two living room house that he and his brothers and father built themselves and we had video games in all the rooms. I even have his original odyssey console here along with his pong. :D

For those interested, here's what this will look like in each region:
Fun fact, the original PC Engine and it's recolored Core Graphx version were already pretty tiny consoles. The US version was made bigger and boxier (and IMO uglier) because for some reason they thought US audiences liked that. Same goes for the US versions of the NES and SNES afaik. Probably why the US Turbographx Mini is larger than the other two.

Oh shit, didn't expect Ys to actually get some love on there. Too bad Ys 3 isn't on it though, that game had some bad ass music on this system in particular. But 1&2 get some great tracks too. You've got it listed twice though... that doesn't seem to be an error, but I'm not certain what the Japanese and English version differences are that'd necessitate it be on there twice. Weird stuff

Whatever, just wash your hands.
I remember playing a tubrografx at a friend of mines house way back when. It had genesis/snes graphics with nes sound, it was weird.

That's cool, but I refuse to give Konami money.
