I know of all the video game players there has to be a few that owned a Turbo Grafx 16 system. I still have mine and still play many of the games. I just wanted to see if there were any other TG16 owners out there, and if so, which games they liked.
One of the better 16 bit systems I thought that was made.

Hell yes I did. That system was rad. Don't have it anymore, but me and my brother even had the CD addon so we could play Fighting Street or whatever that game was called.

I loved Bonk on there, as well as this one really cool space game that I can't remember the name of. I wish I could remember game names, but there was a bunch of great ones.

Bonk! I had totally forgot about that game. I had a TurboGrafx and wasted many afternoons playing Bonk. I remember that I had Super Volleyball, and the Baseball game (pitched a perfect game), but other than that I don't remember very many games. I think there was a tennis game that was like a quest where you get no gear whenever you'd beat someone. I would never play tennis for real, but they usually kick ass as a video game.

I loved my TurboGrafx, and I still have it. Military Madness was my favorite video game for a long time. I wish I could get more levels than just the 32 they had, though.

the tg16 actually had an 8bit main cpu. that's why the snes and genesis beat its ass.

Yeah, but there was some sort of CD add-on thingy that let you play 16-bit games. Somewhat annoying, but yeah, it was there.

Astro,

From a website:
"NEC's first video game system looked 16-bit, sounded 16-bit, but in reality, it was 8-bit to the core. Though its main CPU was 8-bit, the chips that handled its graphics and sounds instructions were 16-bit, Turbo Grafx 16 Unit Image The Turbo Grafx 16 making the system look like a 16-bit system at first glance."

yes i used to have it - Golden Axe was the only game i had for it, then i saw my friend's sega genesis and switched...immediately.

...which is why i said the main cpu was 8-bit

Yeah, now that I think of it, it was a 8 bit system. Silly me. The game I played the most out of was Devil's Crush. I could play that thing for hours. The baseball game that was referred was World Class Baseball. Space Harrier was also one of my favorite games.

I am glad to see that some people recognize that TG16 was a very decent system. I would still argue that Blazing Lazers is the best Shooter ever made.

I agree with that.

Since my brother got a Genesis for xmas, I had to get another comparable game system for my room. So I asked Santa for (and rec'd) Turbo Grafx 16.

Man, talk about a useless p.o.s.

Space Harrier was addictive.

Bloody Wolf was also a lot of fun. I had the cheat float code.
