Prononciation
njsykora is pronounced like this.

Yeah it would be easier if it were spelt njsikora but it doesn't look as cool does it?

A True Start To A Console Collection
njsykora \| 4:35 PM on 09.04.2008	10 comments

A few weeks ago I parted with £9 and picked up a Neo Geo Pocket Colour, I then ebayed Dark Mist and Sonic Pocket for it and played the hell out of them. Well, Sonic anyway. Dark Mist has yet to be started, I'll correct that at some point. However, today on a routine mission to talk my roommate out of buying Facebreaker (successful by the way) my keen retro eye spotted this behind the counter.

FUCK YEAH!! I found a mint condition Turbografx-16 in its box with everything. Also I'm redownloading the RFGO episode on it in hope of getting some game ideas. Any suggestions? Or hate?

>NJ

EDIT

By the way, this whole thing was £30. That's about $55. The guy behind the counter said "Its actually pretty cheap for what it is" so trust me, I was bracing for a much higher price.

You sir, are a true gamer. Well played. *wipes tear from eye*

I want a turbografix-16. :(

The original Splatterhouse arcade game has a port for the system, try that. Also try some of the Bonk platformers out.

Blazing Lasers and/or R-Type

i need to find one of those

So many happy memories watching gaming magazines and seeing it.

Namakubi

Haha, yeah that's awesome. Make sure you pick up the Neo Geo Capcom and SNK fighters for the Pocket Color, fantastic fighters!

ChillyBilly

Very nice find indeed, i still need one of those for my lil collection.

A New Challenger

The only thing about the TG-16 is that the games are hard to find cheap and most of the good ones are on the VC or on the way.

Soldier Blade is an awesome shooter for it though.

I've been meaning to pick up a NGPC for years now. I not emulated Match of the Millenium and enjoyed it quite a bit. Gals Fighter is also worth a look, though a bit shallow in terms of content. Worth it for the boss though.

It's not a bad price (granted I live in the US and think ur double pay shit is crap so ;p), the really good tg16 games are hella expensive :| still its not the neo ;p
