rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wikkyj - I went nuts when I got this system early one Christmas. So much so, that I opened it (and Alien Crush) before Christmas and played it for 2 hours until I got caught by mom. The graphx were a step or 3 ahead of the grainy nintendo graphx. The games are...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BaronSamedi3 - So much nostalgia. So many memories. So many bad games and rip-offs that I never realized were bad games and rip-offs at the age of ten. The TurboGrafx 16 was my first home gaming system. My parents bought it for me because they were too cheap to get me...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Actually, it's not strange at all. The turbografx, also known as pc-engine in japan, was a little 8-bit system that never really had a chance in the state. Everyone and there momma had a nes, and the Genesis was kicking off the 16-bit revolution with...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author StarSoldier1 - NEC is not only a huge electronic company but they also created their own video game system back in the day. The NEC PC Engine was a huge hit over in Japan (it even beat out the mega popular Japanese NES in sales for a few years) and it...

NEC TurboGrafx 16: Great As A Frisbee Now

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ParisLemon - My friend Brad got this system around 1988 I think, and while it was fun for a while, it quickly grew out of date. You have to take into account that this came out in the days of the original Nintendo and Sega which were both 8 bit systems, and this was...

NEC TurboGrafx 16: The slickest system of the eighties

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 23:00:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drinkypoo - It's really a shame NEC doesn't know more about pricing, because the Turbo Grafx was truly a great system. It's an 8 bit system with 16 bit graphics, which led NEC to tout it as a 16 bit system. While they were lying, it's still a wonderful little...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GustavusShaw - I have been a video game freak for years. Every since the Atari and Intellivision Came out I have been hooked. Video games gave me a freedom only imagined about. I could submerge myself into any arena of mind altering pleasure I wanted at the touch of a...

NEC TurboGrafx 16: Very Decent Machine

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aindovin - I played with this system for 2 years when I was in college.

It is a very nice and fun machine and I am currently looking to buy one cheap.

It was part of the 16 bit revolution, but this system is actually 2 separate 8 bit processors working...

NEC TurboGrafx 16: TurboGrafx16: More Bonk Than Bite!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author offspringer - NEC released the TurboGrafx 16 in the United States in 1988 in order to try and grab their piece of the growing home video gaming market, which was then dominated by Nintendo. Starting out with a fairly generic platform game called "Keith Courage in...
