Genesis VS SNES VS TG-16

[Joe Redifer]

I had a master system, then sometime in early 1988, I had called Sega asking for cheat codes and they told me about the Genesis.

Ha ha almost the same story here. Except I called them and asked them about the Mega Drive. They finally told me they had changed the name to "Genesis" and other information as well. I remember one of the female "counselors" talking to me for a looooong time when she finally asked me my age. I told her I was 16 and she seemed disappointed. She then told me I sounded older.

.... I forgot to mention that when I saw the Turbo's CD-ROM attachment for the first time, I thought it was just another gimmicky toy. How novel, games on a CD... nobody will want THAT.

[Joe Redifer]

The first time I saw the CD-ROM in action it was in a kiosk running the Last Alert title screen. I could hear the music and thought it was really cool. And of course I lusted over Ys in the magazines.

I never even saw any of the PC Engine-consoles in action...
After not having any success in the USA NEC gave up on all plans for a European release in 1992/1993.
I´d sure love to get my hands on one of those consoles along with Fighting Street,
Neutopia, R-Type and other neat stuff...

[Joe Redifer]

Believe it or not there is a European TurboGrafx.

Turbografx was also sold in Spain, maybe from 1991 to 1992. Their games appeared on magazines of those years: J.J. and Jeff, PC Kid, Legendary Axe, El Vigilante, R-Type... It sold poorly.

Anything not released in Sweden isn't worth buying. Except all the stuff at eBay I buy. The place where I buy all my stuff.
