Hello everyone. I finally decided to join. Some of you may know me from Sega-16.com forums or others. I recently sold my Turbo Duo to invest in a Duo RX. My Duo RX just shipped today from Japan via EMS so I should receive it at the end of this week or the beginning of next week. I've been playing Turbo games since 1994 when I got my Turbo Duo for $125.00 clearance at a Babbages way back then. I just received my Turbo Everdrive today in the mail and I cant wait to use it.
My collection thus far is;

Gate of Thunder 4 in one disc
Legendary Axe
Fighting Street
Ys IV
Ys Book 1 & 2
Dracula X
Lords of Thunder
Cosmic Fantasy 2
Ninja Spirit
Keith Courage

I am looking to invest in some PC engine shmups and action adventure games. What do you good folks recommend?

Welcome aboard! Your collection needs Ys III, Nexzr, and Spriggan.

Welcome, comrade.

Some of us may know you from the Neo-Geo forums. Come to think of it, why haven't I seen you over there lately?

Because I'm not welcome there as far as I can tell. If you can prove otherwise feel free to express that.

CGQuarterly · 10/04/2013, 08:44 PM

LOL I guess you don't remember calling me a "black slave overseer" who works for my "white liberal PC slave master". Thanks for bringing your unique brand of crazy to one of the few other places where I hang out online. :eyeroll:

If memory serves me correctly we both said things about one another that was insulting. Dude I just got here and you are trying to brand me as being crazy?!? You just cant let the past alone can you? Why do you deem it necessary to re-kindle long gone battles? No one here cares about what happened months ago on another forum. If it pleases you to name call and demonize me in a forum I barely even started participating in , then I truly feel sorry for you. If you aren't mature enough to let the past go or at least settle things in private messaging, then you sir have a lot of growing up to do. I didn't come here to throw insults or start fires. I have a wife and kids, a house, and a full time job, in other words a busy life that can't afford internet foolishness. I don't have time for stuff like this. I came here to share and talk about classic gaming.

The funny thing about the internet is that people wrap their lives and emotions around it, and once the comfort zone is rattled for any reason, a melt down occurs. If you want an apology from me dude then just ask. But keep in mind I'll expect one as well. Now try and be civil and tactful when addressing matters that only concerns you and I.

Lan Di · 10/04/2013, 11:24 PM

Oh, and I got my Duo-RX today. The Turbo Everdrive is a dream come true. I just need to get around to getting it RGB modded. A violet LED would be cool!!

PunkCryborg · 10/04/2013, 11:35 PM

You should consider getting Legendary Axe II (the JP title escapes me still the moment) even if you don't love Axe 1.

SHAME ON YOU if you don't like Axe 1, though!

Legendary Axe 1 is a great game and I do like it a lot. I'll look into Axe 2. Is the Japanese version better?

Both games are nearly identical, although a few sprites were slightly altered for North America (say goodbye to exposed boobies on the nymphs!). Most folks wouldn't even notice this alteration, of course, since 3-5 pixels amply cover the offending anatomy.

The ending of the game is neat (storywise), but you can always watch a video of the opening/ending sequence after you beat the JP version.

Bottom Line: MUSIC IS SUPREMELY AWESOME, ATMOSPHERE IS BROODING, HACK-N-SLASH IS SATISFYING. Character design is really charming, too.

Welcome aboard:)

JapanTokei · 10/14/2013, 08:57 PM

I loved 1, but Legendary Axe 2 to me is a completely different game and I didn't like it at all!

Estaban -> ever notice there was no "axe" in part 2?
lol

proof that it was a totally different game, just recycled with the L.Axe name!

Hey guys, will this SCART kit work on a US NTSC TV? The description reads "21 pin scart cable included (warning, it's the european pin out, not compatible in all countries)" I plan on buying this for my Duo RX and use my CVS2087 Scart to Component converter so I can view it on my TV for some 240p goodness.

PunkCryborg · 10/22/2013, 08:16 AM

rgb isnt ntsc or pal. should work fine as long as you have a tv or monitor that displays rgb. reason for the warning is because scart is a diferent pin out than japanese 21 pin rgb cables.

Xak · 10/30/2013, 10:30 AM

Im new to the forums but old to the TG16. Loved it since the 90s. I was born just two years before its release so I had to learn of it through legend and old game mags. Until I finally found out two of my friends had the system and a ton of games. I got to play and own Bloody Wolf, Military Madness and Air Zonk right out of the box.

Also Lan Di, I dont know what you did in the past on other forums but that shouldnt matter if your here for the right reasons.
