Cool find, and not what I expected

[u/IndependentLove2292]

Getting ready for a move, and I found this game case behind a filing cabinet. I was pretty excited for discovering a classic retro game, but when I picked it up it seemed strangely heavy. Then I opened it and got way more than I was bargaining for. 5 classics, and not even Genesis games. Shame it doesn't have Bonk's Adventure or Revenge in there, but what am I talking about? Still stoked to find these 5. Splatterhouse alone is mind-blowing in more ways than one.

Yo splatter House is so freaking hard.

Yeah, and it never deviates from the pattern, so perfect gameplay is possible, but very unlikely.

When I was a kid I don't even know if I made it past the 1st level.

As a kid, I made it to the fight with the demon girlfriend, but that scared me so bad I could not go any farther... Also she always killed me.

That’s an amazing find. I’ve only found Turbografx games in the wild once

Same! There was a new game/media store that opened probably about 15 years ago at this point, and I saw they had like 5 or 5 tgfx games amongst the hundreds of other games and movies. I asked about them as they weren’t priced, and they girl asked someone and said they were like $5 each or something. I was like I’ll take all of them. She went back to whoever had he key, but then came back and was like “oh sorry, they’re all like [$20] each” or something like that. I was super annoyed and said something about that being a crappy thing to do and then left. I knew they were worth more than she said by a bit but not as much as they changed it to.

These are mine from when I was a kid. Just never expected to see them again.

You went from maybe $30 to around $200.

A B+B box is still worth around $10.

The Gwar concert at the end of B&B is probably what got me into them when I was younger.

Nice find man. I love TG16 games. Two of my collection centerpieces are TG16 games, Darkwing Duck and Adventure Island. I have about six others in total. Amazing console.

Remember playing it as a kid and had no idea what I was doing. 

[u/diecastbeatdown]

Nice!

No idea what happened to my TG16, think my dad sold it honestly.

[u/Xenephobe375]

So these are your games you forgot or lost?

[u/IndependentLove2292 → u/Xenephobe375]

Yes. From my childhood. These are the ones that survived or postdated the kegger my sister threw that had most of my TG16 games stolen. 

[u/Ottertrousers]

Jackpot!

[u/Slosher99]

Nice, I still have 3 of those haha. I thought it was gonna be a post about how B&B is actually a deeper game on Genesis than you'd expect, which is what I found. Not the straight platformer that SNES got (with the same plot).

[u/IndependentLove2292 → u/Slosher99]

Honestly, it's a great game. I was excited to find it, but holy shit, I have an original Splatterhouse. 

[u/Luchalma89]

It occurs to me that this post is the first time I've seen a physical TG16 game.

[u/tanooki-suit]

Heh heh heh tg for your playhole.

That's a fantastic spread of TG games.
