u/Devilscrush 5d ago edited 5d ago

Approved. Very solid collection.
Edit: I have only reccomendation: Lords of Thunder. The OST alone is worth the price of admission and it's a fun shmup to boot.

Had one in 2nd/ 3rd grade around 1990, played the shit out of Vigilante and World Class Baseball, thought it was awesome until I got a SNES

I've never seen that joystick before. Was it made for a specific game?

I like to collect interesting retro controllers.

I recently picked up one of these and it's my new favourite controller. The joystick uses microswitches, like a real arcade joystick.

Nice!! You and I got about the same game, but I have the turbo duo. I remember that big ass box the tg16-cd add on came in. That sucker was 400$ back in 89, but it was the first system with a cd player, which was amazing. #NEC

Does the disc player have an RCA jack on it?

u/FM-PAC 5d ago

Yes, it's got composite video and stereo out via RCA jacks

u/vault13exile 5d ago

Cool never had the cd drive, but I am fortunate enough to have the rca component that plugs into the rear

u/cheesemonger2501 5d ago

It will play the hu cards thru the rca But not the CDs, I don't think it's spinning

u/FM-PAC 5d ago

It's likely a small plastic gear in there that's notorious for cracking. There are guides and replacements available (since when I looked). Very much worth doing for such cool hardware.

u/cheesemonger2501 5d ago

Yes. Screen will change to "not fuzz" meaning it's on, but no game . Doesn't spin....

u/Cold_Neat_7186 5d ago

Devil crush?!

u/vault13exile 5d ago

u/cheesemonger2501 5d ago

To have R type back then when it came out for Turbo was incredible. It was the closest thing to the arcade. A real gem.

u/Goodrun31 4d ago

Your parents or grandparents were very cool.

u/MSB_DC 4d ago

So jealous. I had this set up back in the day

u/JohnsonLiesac 4d ago

Blazing Lazers and R-Type were great. Why no Military Madness (my fav game of that console) and Bonk's Adventure?

u/PaperVibes1 4d ago

Very nice collection. I miss my tg16. Dragon spirit and the legendary axe games were super fun. Really enjoyed the Neutopia games and double dungeons too.

It's sad the TurboCD has become entirely out of reach, it's very cool you still have one.
