Ktulu Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I dug mine out of a box a while back and it still worked!! That system had so many awesome games, was never one of the big boys but it kicked ass. Some of my favs: World Class Baseball Blazing Lazers Splatterhouse Neutopia 1&2 (zelda ripoff but still cool) TV Sports Football "High Mom" Battleroyal (awesome multiplayer wrestling game) Anyone else out there remember these?

blackcalx Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Back in the day my local Fred Meyer had a TG16 out for demo. I used to love playing through Splatterhouse. I never owned the system, but always wanted one for games like Devil's Crush, Splatterhouse and Bonk's Adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Rented it a bunch of times. The TG-16 would have done way better if they'd released with Bonk, who was an awesome kick-ass mascot back in the day. I have fond memories of the first game. Also, another notable game was the sweeet Dungeon Explorer, which allowed something like four players to go Gauntlet-style, that was ahead of its time (not to mention required the not-included multi-tap). Oh, and that conversion of the old Vigilante arcade game that was spot on. Always remember that game for being kinda alright but always drawing a crowd back in the day .

Calvin Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 I bought my TG-16 a few years back just to play Splatterhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugms Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Military Madness, Bomberman, And my all time FAV. MotoRotor w/5 of your closest friends. Ah the sh!t that use to go down playing that game :lmfao: Wish you were all there, I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it. Now I'll be spending the next few days trying to track down where that system went. Thanks for the memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 i never owned it but my neighbor had it. Played bonk all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitice Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Bonk's Adventure is the first game that actually got me to pause the game just to have a good look at the graphics. At the time it totally amazed me how fricken good it looked, the ice level does it to me everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 My wife and I used to play Golf on the Turbo almost everynight before bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I used to play some pinball game (can't remember the title) and Davis Cup Tennis on TG16, they we're both great, and way ahead of thier time as far as graphics. I remember playing Super Nintendo and then going back to my TG16 and often enjoying the TG much more. My other TG games: Keith Courage, Gradius, Tail Spin, and Golf, and more that I can't remember.

General Zot Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Military Madness, it was all about Military Madness for my friends and I. In ecstasy that they actually re-released this game for the PSX (as Nectaris) and then boom ... Advance Wars rolls in. Absolutely heaven!

Beer Monkey Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I'm a big fan. I have an imported Duo-RX (modded to play US games), a tap, a bunch of controllers (including two six-button pads), and a Turbo Express with TV tuner.

xPieter Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I loved loved loved MotoRoader! Man the memories. I spend a summer either in the swimming pool at Grandma's house, or upstairs playing this game with my brother and cousins. It introduced me to the phrase: ...and the rich get richer... The system had some other great sports games as well: Volleyball, Basketball, Football, Baseball... Then there was Bonk, R-Type, Keith Courage, the list goes on and on. Too bad our TG16 system died years ago and was thusly donated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Duo-RX I'm having such a bear of a time hunting one of these down still in the box with the original controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I picked one up years ago for $20 to play Alien Crush and Galaga 90. Didn't use it a heck of a lot, but it did have a few good games. I remember when my friend had a NES and a TG and the TG was the system you played waiting for your turn on the NES (I'd still rather play Punch Out, SMB3 and Adventure Island over Keith Courage).

iainl Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 My God - I can't believe it took that long for someone to mention R-Type; surely I'm not alone in practically regarding it as the reason to own one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 If you like Motoroader, try Motoroader II. Hovercrafts and tanks = fun fun fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but at least R-Type is on other systems. Where else are you going to play Motoroader or Blazing Lazers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy liquid Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 There's a great 12 page retrospective on the NEC PC Engine/Turbo Grafix in this month's Edge magazine (#127). I had to control myself not to charge up my Visa hunting one down on Ebay after reading it. The screenshots of some of the shooters seem to rival that of the Saturn! How does it compare? I'd love to play Dracula X, Splatterhouse, and Ghouls 'n Ghosts (which they write is better than the Mega Drive revision)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 The best Ghouls 'n Ghost game is on the SuperGrafx. I love NEC hardware. Devil's Crush, Vigilante, Legendary Axe, Military Madness, and more! Such a great machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I've always wanted to pick a TG/16 for the TV sports titles as well as Bonk. I just haven't gone out and picked one up on Ebay yet. Oh, well. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugms Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 If you like Motoroader, try Motoroader II. Hovercrafts and tanks = fun fun fun. I had no idea theres a second Moto! I have got to find that system! Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
