Cool forum glad to be here!

[MaximumRD]

Hello all. My name is ROB. I am 42 and live in beautiful KELOWNA, BC, CANADA. On Youtube I am also known as MaximumRD (I like to be consistant and I am proud of my reputation) I have a Classic Gaming channel which I will not post as that is just tacky. I learned about this place through a fellow Youtuber named jboypacman aka John. Though I have collected many classic gaming consoles and handhelds very sadly I have never owned a single NEC console    . I know I know lol! I have always been interested in all the models though, just feel they have a style all their own. Things are a little tough for me right now but with any luck I hope to start dipping my toes into the Turbographics/PCEngine waters maybe next year  (sooner if a miracle happens!) but I will get there eventually. In the meantime I hope to learn more about the platform, figure out the best system and games for me, I like to be prepared before jumping into a new platform. I hope to get to know you all and hopefully be a helpful and contributing member at these forums.

Welcome Rob, hope you enjoy it here & good luck starting your PCE/TG16 collection.

[MaximumRD]

@nectarsis Thanks man, glad I ran into you on Youtube! It's been cool getting to know you. 
@jboypacman Always a pleasure buddy! 
@Tatsujin Lol! Yes glad to here there are more Canucks here!   
@henrycsc Honestly though it will be sometime before I can begin my PCE/TG16 collecting I am really looking forward to it! My only experience was years many years ago a buddy and I rented the TG16, we got Keith Courage and I think BONK with it and admittedly having only experienced NES as far as consoles went I was blown away. At that young age I was very poor    and on top of that NOBODY I knew had one and there seemed very little support at least here in Toronto Canada where I lived at the time so after that I rarely saw anything else TG16 related outside of a import store downtown. Then I really only started collecting again a couple of years ago, in a very short time I amassed the entire collection I listed previously but not knowing much about PCE/TG16 and related consoles I had not yet got around to starting that part of my collection. Well I just recently picked up a NEO GEO CD and I been having a blast with that so I figure my next major jump will be into the world of PCE/TG16. With that thought I figured this would be the place to get to know all about these systems, games, accessories etc. When I am ready expect to be bombarded with questions!

Welcome MRD!

     Must be getting some high temperatures up in Kelowna about now, i got a buddy who lives in Vernon so i remember those interior summers! 
Anyways, you said in TO there wasn't mush support for the TG16?  Here in Vancouver, the TG16 was all over the place!  I constantly saw it in stores like Eatons, The Bay, Radio Shack, CompuCentre and Consumers Distributing (the last 2 which have gone the way of the dodo...). Well, hopefully you get a good feel for our beloved system here on the forum, enjoy! 

[MaximumRD]

@Colossus1574

Well, perhaps there was more support than what I am recalling, probably I was not paying as much attention since I was not going to be getting one lol! Come to think of it I guess there was a fair amount of availability if one really looked. OMG! You said Consumers Distributing I LOVED that place and the catalogs (very easy to return stuff there no hassle lol!) man I would pour through the catalogs drooling!
Yeah it has been getting pretty hot as of late but much less humid here than it ever was in Toronto not to mention a lot less smog/pollution. What is funny is how much temps vary here hitting a high of 30+ Celsius than dropping to 15 overnight lol! BUT that does give you more comfy sleeping weather and a chance to air out the place over night.

[Sparky]

nice, another canadian... <<cracks open a vintage bottle of maple syrup>>

Welcome, ya its a great place, lots to see and do even the shoutbox is fun....just watch when i get drinking

As for the systems this canuck got hooked on Dragon Spirit on the Tg16 system which got me rolling into other great titles like Blazing lasers & Bomberman but also look into the PCE as well, it has these games & a lot more goodness to discovery.... see you around.

Another peep from C, eh?  N, eh?  D, eh?  Welcome aboard.

Welcome Rob. If your going to dive into the world of TG-16/PC-Engine there in nothing better than starting here. They helped me a lot when I was going to lose my TG-16/PC Engine virginity  . I also check out your channel Rob. You got some good stuff. I remember when I was going to buy a Sega CDX, I checked out your video on your Sega CDX and it was very helpful in learning more on the console. Thanks again. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Also Nectarsis, The Chicago Bulls are going to be taking back the Central Division The Bucks and the Bulls are the two teams that got a lot better in that division and one of them is going to take it.

Could you repost that Fatality?  All I see is BLAH BLAH BLAH 

[JoshTurboTrollX]

If the Bulls wanted to take the division, they should have worked harder on bringing in Labron!  lmao!  Bucks got all the youth and talent to make some decent runs next year and for the next 5, you just wait and see!

Didn't get the memo this was a Bucks fan forum lol. The Bulls did everything they could to land Lebron. We had the money, we had a nice supporting cast to surround him, and we are from a large market. It is his loss. The Bucks are very good up and coming team, I'm not going to deny that. Also adding Corey Maggette and resigning John Salmons were fantastic moves. The Bulls are pretty young as well and have added some nice pieces like Boozer and Korver. It should be fun watching the Bulls/Bucks battling for 1st.

[MaximumRD]

Thanks for all the welcomes, fellow Youtuber's and everyone else too. Well this seemed like the AtariAge for NEC consoles so that is one of the reasons I new it would be cool here. Will be fun learning about all the models, differences etc. It is interesting, I dealt with a lot of the differences of PAL/NTSC with Amiga computers, seems to be a lot to learn about the NEC consoles, TG16, Supergrafx, Turbo-R, Turbo Duo, Region compatibility, mixing a US turbo with japanese CD etc, Forgive any terminology I am screwing up but that is why I came here to learn from the experts!

[Ceti Alpha]

Hey, greetings Max! Always good to see another Canuck.  I never got to see Kelowna when I was living in BC, but it looks like a great place.

But yeah, half the fun starting to collect the NEC consoles is just learning about all the different aspects of the machines. And the learning never really stops. hehe

[TR0N]

Welcome to the site.Though be warn...alot of price gouging these days for used TG16 games.Still the pce market isn't to bad and is more fair these days at least.
