Retro console and games thread

What are people's thoughts on the Turbografx? I have no experience of this console at all and previously I have only gone for hardware I'd previously used. But the opportunity to purchase a brand new in box one has come up for a reasonable price. Are there any must have exclusives for this console?

The Turbografx was a great but very overlooked system in my opinion. I can always remember seeing pictures of the games in CVG and the like and just being blown away by the sheer colour and sprite detail :)

I'd definitely recommend the Bonk series of games, Bonk's Big Adventure being my favourite, it really shows off the systems sprite scaling abilities.

Out of curiousity, how much is this reasonable price? :p

Thanks for the reply. I can get one for £65 with a game. I didn't think that was too bad as I've watched 2 different used unboxed one's go for £50 on eBay.
 
Anyone know whats caused this mark on the cd of one of my ps1 games, and will it effect my game you think?

places like gamestation and cash converters have a CD poslishing unit that will sort it out, they did a couple of PS2 discs for me and they come up perfect
 
Quick question...

How much should I be looking to pay for an Atari Jaguar? Both boxed and unboxed prices would be handy.

I've developed an itch to play on one again as I really miss playing Tempest 2000, plus talking to Jeff Minter a few months ago has pushed me more into owning one :D
 
Just tested the games, 1080 is still a good snowboarding game after all this time :).




All can be modded. Later ntsc/pal ones are just a bit more effort to get RGB out off.

I thought it could only be done on early ntsc models and the fabled French pal model.
 
I'm hooked on N64 stuff at the moment, it's costing me a fortune. Shame its really hard to come by in charity shops etc and ebay is priced through the roof!

Looking for boxed or cartridge only? I've found Ebay to be quite cheap for most games if you go cartridge only. Only a few like Zelda seem to hold a high price, with most others going for £5-10 for cartridge only.
 
Either or really, after a couple of big titles like smash bros and conkers bad fur day. You have to pay a little extra for those. With xmas coming up, I've cooled off the purchasing!
