I am Serious

[Serious]

Hi everyone,

I'm Serious..

I just joined this forum a few days ago.. I learned of it after seeing the beautifully done video on YouTube about the NEC PC-FX..

I recently re-acquired a TurboGrafx system (TG16)..

I owned a TurboExpress back when it was new, which I paid for from money made delivering pizzas one summer, but couldn't afford enough games and batteries to be able to truly experience the platform enough..

I've set about rectifying that recently, and I will probably upgrade to a Turbo Duo before too long..

I'm mostly a collector of Atari 2600 games and other systems of that era, as well as Commodore computers..

The NES and Genesis never really appealed to me, but the TurboGrafix/PC Engine games always seemed like they were in a different class to me, and I decided to go ahead and dive in, in a big way..

Back then, the only game I owned was Military Madness, which I played the hell out of (even though it wasn't ideally suited to the Express's little screen). Now, I'm focusing more on shmups, and have been playing (and loving) Blazing Lazers, Galaga 90, and Sidearms.

My system didn't come with a controller, but I bought an adapter from Tototek to allow me to use a PS2 fight stick on it, and that is working beautifully..!

I really enjoy competitive gaming (even though I am not that good), and I recently launched a website for sharing of high scores (called highscore.com ironically enough).

Given the high cost of some of the games, compared to other systems, I just ordered an EverDrive, and I'm looking forward to its arrival.

I'm very glad to be joining this community and I expect to be visiting very frequently!

That's funny, I recently bought my Duo R delivering pizzas.

Welcome, glad you're so serious about turbo

This guy is serious. However, he never claimed to be sociable. Or did he? I am not going to re-read his post.

Glad to know you guys care!

I've had my hands full lately, so haven't had as much time to participate or play TG16 as I'd like.

highscore.com keeps me really busy..

I'm going to make a point of trying to logon here more frequently.
