    Best multitap I've ever seen is on the Saturn.  8 player Bomberman!

    NEC pulled an Apple!  "headphone jack not included".  Ahead of their time.

    It's been almost 30 years and I'm still holding out hope to see these bodacious time travelers back on the big screen one more time, and done the right way!

    Uploaded today is ITC#54 where you come with me to see the process of replacing the capacitors on a model 1 Sega Genesis. The video is sped up through most of it but was originally shot in real time so that you can get an idea on the amount of time involved with a project like this. Features a few midi tunes as captured from my Roland MT-200. So sit back, relax, and see what is takes to replace the capacitors in a classic console such as the Sega Genesis featured in this video:

    I've sold a lot of stuff and still have a few pending items.  I will post more in about a week.  Thanks everyone!

    Lol.  Batteries not included.  Yep.  But the multitap does allow for I believe five controllers.  Not sure why ???

    Found one at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo Swap Meet today.  I also included a pic of the other good junk I bought.  It works great.  Only one game.  Anyone have games for sale?

    I was just getting ready to sell my SMS collection.  But this console was a bargain, so I'm back in.  It does have Alex Kidd built in.  I might just sell my original SMS now and keep this one.  I like that it's very compact.

    I'll be honest, I almost didn't go to the swap meet due to my "downsizing" mood.  I finally decided to just go.  I thought I'd say hello to the people I know and have a little fun....but ended up finding a lot of cool stuff AND saying hello.

    I should also add that the Sega Master System is also an incredible 8-Bit console and is one of my all-time favorites. The Master System II wasn't as common in the U.S. as the original, but it's the one I grew up with. Mine had Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in. The color and sound on Sega Master System are pretty nice for an 8-Bit system, lots of fun games to explore if you're new to the world of Master System.

    I also came so so close to buying a Jaguar at this show too, but I could not afford both the Jag and the TG-16.  So I prioritized the TG-16 higher and brought that one home.

    Thank you!  I am thinking seriously about getting that everdrive.  Seems like games are very costly for this system, so the everdrive really is good bang for the buck.  I think I did pretty well on the price, and I'm very happy with the condition.

    RICK!! THAT IS SUCH FANTASTIC NEWS! I'M SO THRILLED TO SEE THIS!
    Any time someone jumps into the world of TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine I'm super excited to have one more new person on board. Same with new people coming to Atari. I can't promise that this will become your favorite video game system, especially if Keith Courage is your only game (it's not a bad one but not a strong reason to get the system either) but if you give it time, explore what games are out there, maybe spring for a Turbo EverDrive and also check out some of the games that were never released in the US, I think you'll find it an interesting game system that almost got lost with time in the dominance of Nintendo and Sega.
    @RickR I am truly excited to see that you picked one of these up and will be giving it a good home. If you find yourself looking for TG16 suggestions I'm always around. It was always one of my favorite game systems and for so long it felt so overlooked. I thought the HuCards / TurboChips were so cool, especially the fact that the games that played in the home console that you have were also the games that played in their TurboExpress portable handheld. I hope you'll find a lot to enjoy with this system.
    CONGRATULATIONS RICK!! Welcome to the TG16 club!

    If you are talking about me...no chance.  I have the worst memory.  I need a RAM upgrade.  Blue Print is not a game for someone with my deficiency.

    Loved this one...nice job.  Do you take special requests?  I'd love to see the same for Astroblast/Astrosmash.  Because IMO, the Atari version (with paddles) completely blows the doors off an Intellivision flagship game.

    I was listening to a Star Trek podcast recently and it seems the Enterprise D was designed as it was to better fit the TV screen.  The Enterprise E was designed long because of the widescreens in the cinema.  This was stated by the guy who designed the ship.
