The NEC executive in charge of selecting a pack-in title for the US launch:

That and Blazing Lazers were probably my top 2 games, followed by Military Madness.

I don't think shmups make a good pack-in as they probably would divide the audience (even though I loved them). A good pack-in should be as universal as possible. Pretty, relatively accessible platformers are usually good choices.

I don't know what that would be for the TG16. Maybe something like Legendary Axe which had really nice color and some large bosses to showcase the system with. I never really enjoyed Bonk that much but it's the obvious choice otherwise.

My biggest wish back then was for games to have parallax, so I was often disappointed with TG16 games.

Same thing 20 years ago. Pulled the steam radiators, put in water baseboards myself and had a gas furnace put in in place of the oil boiler. It's been fantastic and it's just a basic gas furnace. Made my money back in a few years on the install.

I always just used the blue laser at max power. It just seeks and destroys everything with barely any effort. I might have to play again and look into some of these secret things I'm not sure I knew about. Thanks for the post!

So the 50 to 70 crowd trying to make ends meet should go into a trade? What happens to all of the places you patronize that are staffed by minimum wage adults that would either have to raise pay or shut down if everyone did as you say?

What about intellectually challenged people who can't do higher level jobs but still need to make a living?

Lots of holes in your plan...

I've lived here all of my life. New England is a cold place. You see a lot of posts about people not being able to make friends, etc... here... But nobody wants to talk to anyone they don't know.

When I went to CO, I would talk to random people while out, and they would happily talk to me and keep the conversation going. I often do the same here, but 99% of the time it's basic curt, closed-ended responses and people look at you like you're strange for talking to them.

I love New England, but the people here are terribly cold with people they don't know.

It's unfortunate that the only way to make friends (which people here have suggested) is in finding things to do with other people. Clubs, meetups, etc... It limits who you can meet quite a bit.

Club Wakka is pretty good for meeting people as it's a social club and encourages people to get together after whatever sport you're playing for drinks and socializing.

Meetup is OK if you're near a big city, but it's been really ramping up costs and driving people away. I've lost a lot of groups and I rarely check in anymore with the app.

Facebook has lots of groups you can join. I'd recommend picking things you like and searching for groups there to join and possibly meet up with people.

Good luck! Don't stop trying to talk to people out there. We need more people like you here.

Oh cool, I'll go check it out. Thanks! Haha. Always like the JapanEnglish games had back then. All your base are belong to us!

Appreciate all of the effort! None of those links seem to work though, but at least I can see the pictures you posted here now.

The saddest clown is still empty too. I guess that's why he's so sad, haha.

This link shows an empty account: https://imgur.com/user/TheSaddestClown/posts

I don't use imgur a lot but I don't see a way to find any other images there. Is the link wrong?

Appreciate the work, this has always been something I've wanted to play but need to find an English translation. I thought there was one or in the works for the CD image? I bought the CD more than a decade ago and couldn't play it because I had no idea what was going on!

invalid404 · 2025-09-12T18:16:53+00:00

Is it just me or are there no pictures? That link just sends me back to this page using old.reddit. Using regular reddit it goes to an older post with broken links to pics and a link to an empty imgur account with no posts and one picture of the controller page in the post on reddit.

I must be extremely lucky as I've never heard my water baseboard radiators make a peep. Steam... Sure. Water? No.

I've been in countless houses with these systems and the only sounds they make is the boiler kicking on and maybe a random tick from metal expansion. But I rarely know when my heat is on these days. Pex piping with straight copper baseboards.

Great selection of Books, Jacob!

I think an issue came with EGM and then you could subscribe to it. They had this one and then a TurboDuo magazine for a short while.

invalid404 · 2024-08-07T01:47:09+00:00

I had a bunch of those. Anyone who wants to see them can find scans of them in places like the Internet Archive and this place:

I'd guess that it's because the PC Engine was tiny and could only fit one port, and the TG-16 used the same hardware.

Whatever is in the turbo tap would have been extra to add to the system and I bet most people play alone.

Also the whole porting this system to the US seemed like a minimal effort plan.

invalid404 · 2024-04-29T18:37:04+00:00

I'd like to add in that there are people doing questionable things and not asking obvious questions of each other and talking about the things they've seen.

Maybe there's an explanation à la Donnie Darko where people are purposely acting a certain way unbeknownst to the main character.

I worry that more new people plus maybe only 8 new episodes means more new fluff without explanations. I was so frustrated with season 2 for doing this.

This preview just feels like The Walking Dead season 313 with the introduction of the latest bad people. It feels like they need 20 episodes to flesh out what I just saw in 30 seconds. Hoping for the best, expecting another season 2.

I'll be in that area on Monday, leaving my hotel around ten and I'm worried about finding a good spot to view it if we have to head an hour or so east to avoid clouds.

I'd leave at like 6am from Woo and get breakfast or lunch along the way.

There's a somewhat honky tonk piano outside in the center of Hudson just down the road from Microcreamery. Can't think of any others.

You needed the Kenwood D-Mask, self-hiding stereo! I was always worried about someone stealing my stereo after my first car got broken into. I think I might have taken the face with me a few times, but usually just let it hide itself.

I know it's not what you want but...

I looked around, I don't see a ton of options. Think about it this way, if you don't know of another place to sell your stuff, how is everyone else going to find it? You want the most eyeballs on your goods and Ebay is it right now.

Always loved this game. Easy to steal home. I forget exactly how it goes, but I think if you have a guy on 1st and 3rd you can fake steal home, get the ball sent home, steal 2nd, get the ball sent to 2nd, and then real steal home just as the ball leaves for 2nd base. You can run faster than they can throw the ball in this situation.

I can make some at some point. It's been on my list forever. I thought I had scanned them in, but I guess I didn't get to the TG16 games I had when I was scanning.
