Found this gem on youtube, pretty interesting that they showed off Ys Book I & II considering the anime scene at the time. NEC stuff is shown at 17:24 if you don't want to watch the whole thing.

(Description: Bob Faber from NEC Technologies visits to discuss TurboGrafx-16/CD games featuring Ys Book I & II and Bonk's Adventure)

There is another episode with TG-16 coverage, too!

I think I posted about Computer Chronicles.... over a decade ago...but I'm pretty sure someone may have done it before me.

LMAO at the difference between the NEC and the TTi episode, the decline of the Turbografx is perfectly shown by the contrast between an OK presentation by a confident NEC representative of the expensive TG-CD unit + Y's

VS

a nervous and defeated looking Johnny Tubbs presenting the Duo, while the sony rep intimidates him and the Computer Chronicles guy criticizes his trump card (Lords of Thunder).

Jossshhhhh...Legendary TurboTrollX-16: He revenge-bans PCE Developers/Ys IV Localizers from PCE Facebook groups and destroyed 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Josh and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner (extortion/blackmail!), never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I'll have to watch it all when I get home.

But. just why wouldn't they pick a more confident rep. He should have made his presentation so much more exciting. It's Lords of Thunder! He was out down by possibly the most bland piece of software i've ever seen. And why was the host emphasizing functional stuff programs so much, wasn't this about video games?? And not Encyclopedias and other non relevant stuff. That's like comparing my Turboduo to the almond milk I had this morning.

But hey, that dev stuff he had was pretty cool. Probably locked away at NEC somewhere.

His last crank-voicemail: "Gimme a call back when you can. This is Ryley by the way... *giggles*"
He then followed it up with 8 WEEKS of ~DAILY calling! BAN ON SIGHT!!!

The host is a douche, often interrupting the guests, talking over them, and being dismissive overall.

Poor Johnny Turbo is outclassed by the Sony shit.  Too bad they didn't mention price; I bet the PC bundle cost 2x as much as the Duo, and the portable thing was at least 4x as much.

He should have brought along the Duo battery pack and monitor to show off its portability.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

Guru Larry did a good video about Johnny Turbo in his failed mascots series.

On Bonk...

thx for sharing!

I've watched a few episodes over the years.

Incidentally, I seem to recall a prominent presenter on there that passed away prematurely. I think it was this show. I could be mistaken.
Something about him getting killed in a bar, or something along those lines.

Holy crap, I watched the show all the time and I never realized that Gary Kildall was actually an important person.
