Atari 5200 Guy

Finally played!  If this was the only game I had for my TG-16 when I owned one I would have been very happy.  First time playing this game, ever.  Fun game.  Now I want a TG-16 again if just for this game.  12,516,100 points.

Is it me or do most of the TG controllers look like NES controllers?  And I'd be happy with the plain white PCE.  I like that one.  As long as it played anything other than Keith Courage.  I liked the game but that was all I played on the TG...I'd want to experience new stuff.

OK...that's neat!!  I'm guessing built in TV tuner, too?  It has an aerial.  I'm thinking I have seen those in a Lukemorse video on trips to Hard Off stores.  One of those was sitting in a glass display case.  Even then it was rare which I believe was about 2014 maybe.  Will have to watch those vids again.  I'm enjoying the new experience...but I'm picky and wish it was on real hardware.  I had to reverse the controller keys.  Keys on left side of keyboard worked the right paddle and vice versa.  And the TG-16 controllers are very comfortable.

My personal PCE favorite look is the dark gray (or is it black?) Core II with the orange colored text.  But, I agree, mod one with the TG-16 Logo on it.  Priceless!

I've played Salamander and Gradius II on a PCE emulator and those rocked!  I'd recommend those.  Don't pass up TwinBee.  Its fun too if you like the NES port of Stinger.

Justin might know more but the only difference I know of are with the controller port.  PCE controller ports are smaller, equivalent of a PS/2 style, and the TG-16 controller port is more like the old PC AT style.  Therefore I don't think controllers are interchangeable by region.  They seem to be region specific.

I've been watching this EBAY seller for over a year now.  I'd keep an eye on them for PCE stuff.  They are based in Japan.

I agree.  The rebooted Footloose was not that great IMO.

Bible says Thou shall not want...but they didn't have all this cool stuff then either. 😁

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. 

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

I have to admit I'm a bit jealous lol.  My area needs meets like that.  The SMS is a great system with graphics that sometimes come close to the Genesis's capabilities.  Bright and beautiful colors.  I also believe Sega is the only game developer to license their IPs on other platforms that are not Sega consoles when Sega was producing hardware as well.
Awesome score on the TG-16 but don't do what I did and let Keith Courage discourage you from enjoying the system.  It has other great games that make it worth owning.  It is a shame, however, that some PCE titles never made it to the TG-16.  Konami made some awesome ports of their shooters for the PCE, Japan-only though.  So if you ever run across a PCE at those events grab it!  Then import the games we never got over here.  Blazing Lasers is an awesome game if you can find it.  Vigilante is damn near arcade perfect.  I haven't played many others but I would look for them if I ever get my hands on a TG-16 again.

If you are asking me then I will have to try in the future.  I don't have Blue Print for the 5200, sadly.

EDIT***** Yes I know I misspelled "high" 

VERY interested in that heavy 6er man!!!
 

Sweet. I'll set it aside for you. Thanks. 

Hey Rick. I will buy this on Tuesday the 22nd if no one else does.
 

I gave up on getting a TG-16.  Too difficult to find.  Might have to emulate this one as well.  I don't have the genesis game, either.

Hmm...wonder if the insides will be similar to the NES/SNES/PSOne Classic Minis.  Would make more sense.  Seems to be a better solution honestly.  Those at least seem to be more reliable.
