Thanks for the reply, A_Locomotive! PM reply sent.

Thanks, Rob! Never heard of the Turbo Booster, but that sounds like a great accessory to have. Certainly would prefer A/V hookups to RF, although I have to admit that the RF "fuzzy effect" does have a certain bit of nostalgia associated with it.

Hello all! I'm new here to the AtariAge forums, but am really enjoying the sense of community and camraderie you guys/gals share and look forward to being an active member going forward. It's only been over the course of the last 3 months or so that I've gotten into collecting retrogames (all part of an over-arching effort to recreate my childhood, piece by hard-to-find piece), but I've already gotten quite a few systems and decent libraries for each (2600, Colecovision, Intellivision, SMS, NES, Genesis, SNES, several stand-alone games, et. al.), and I couldn't be having more fun both finding and playing them. One that I just got into this week is the TurboGrafx-16. Actually, I don't even have the home console, but rather picked up a Turbo Express for a good deal that I happened across. The only game it came with is Devil's Crush, and while that game is great, I'm eager to build up a small collection of fun titles for playing on my new toy. Of course, I've always heard that the shmup was the specialty of the PCE, so I'm eager to pick up some of those, as well as perhaps some of the system's other notable releases. As far as specifics go, I'm interested in finding a good deal on the following: Blazing Lasers Air Zonk Bonk (and of the three, although I've heard III is the best) Any of the Super Star Solider games (Soldier Blade in particular I've read is excellent) A lot of people say good things about Keith Courage? Don't know much about it R-Type Ninja Spirit Dungeon Explorer Magical Chase Legendary Axe I realize some of those are probably more rare/expensive than others, and if so, it's okay as none of them are make or break. They either are games I've heard good things about or ones that looked interesting in the brief videos I watched of their gameplay. All I'm really looking for is a good starter collection of Hucards for my trusty little Turbo Express. I really don't care so much about manuals and cases. If they're there and dont' bump the cost significantly, then sure--why not? But even if it's just a bunch of loose cards you have and you're looking to de-dupe, then hey, I might can take them all off your hands in one fell swoop--as long as they're not sports games; man I hate most sports games. <Exception granted = Tecmo Super Bowl> Of course, I'm also open to suggestions of other good games that I should keep my eyes open for, should an opportunity to purchase them at an affordable price present itself. Are there certain releases which work better on the TE than others? And likewise, are there games that I should -avoid- picking up because they -don't- play so great on the small screen? Speaking of which, I'm also open to picking up an actual TG-16 core console with a couple of controllers, and maybe even a CD attachment if the price(s) is right. But for now, I'm pretty happy with my fantastic little TE handheld and its TFT screen, which is FAR superior to the stock Nomad display, a handheld which I paid just as much. (Although to the Nomad's credit, being able to do A/V out is a feature sorely missed on the TE.) Thanks in advance to those who respond! And thanks also for being such a cool, knowledgeable, and friendly community of collectors. You guys are doing the hobby proud!
