    Your dad was so ahead of his time man. A youtuber before youtube even existed. Legend.

      ​@dizzythakidd7350 I was wondering if he has passed, it's pretty amazing he gets to be remembered through these videos.

    The Turbografx 16 was always something of a mythical creature amongst my schoolyard friends - no one ever saw one, no one knew anyone who had one, no one ever played one, and we only knew of it from the ads we would see in comics and video game magazines of the time.

      Used to see it on store displays and my jaw would drop when seeing the color palette. Even when competing with the Genesis and SNES and by then it had CD-Rom and rivaled those consoles graphically. The arcade ports were usually on par and in many cases better than the arcade.

    This footage is awesome. I wasn't alive back then so I always wondered what it was like collecting early game consoles. Nice to see the Turbo Duo!

    My stepbrother moved in around 1991. He got the TurboGrafx and got the Super Nintendo with Super Ghouls and Ghosts from Kmart.

    Your Dad really went above and beyond to get you the best, rare, unique games and systems. It's so awesome to watch. I notice that in a lot of your vids, getting the PlayStation early, GameCube japan edition. That's love a lot of us never got. Blessed!

    I like how your mom said at 6:10 "Keep looking in the box," and I'm like "No! Go back to Tonma!"
    Crazy rare!

    Interesting fact. Tony Hawk worked on a few of these commercials for the system

    FUN FACT: Galaga'90, released on Turbografx, was actually, originally called Galaga'88, released in Arcades.

    Most parents use these games as a babysitter? Your dad really enjoyed them.

    Awesome video. Super star soldier was awesome, but cosmic fantasy 2 was my favorite tg16 cd game. Still have my original cd in box.

    We never got this in the UK. But it was always shown in our gaming magazines, maybe hoping it would be released in the UK eventually.
    I’ve played emulators of it and really amazed how great the console was.
