I would be happy to answer TG-16 questions. I had a TG-16, bought it shortly after the big price drop, right before they started packaging in Bonk's Adventure. I also had a CD-ROM attachment, a Super System Card, and I even bought an Arcade Card Pro shortly before trading the system away (shortly being a year and a half).

I've been a long-time fan of the system and I did lots of research on it. I'll be happy to point people to information sources on the hardware and the games and if anyone is interested I'd be happy to clear up some confusion over the system cards as well.

This is one of my retro-gaming obsessions, so PLEASE, ask away!

I would like to know more about Neo Geo CD and the Atari Jag.

Oh I think I could throw something together about the Wonderswan, reall any handheld, but believe you me, 90% of its library was just bad. The system did look awesome though.

And marurun expect questions soon enough. Most will be opinion based though, however if you know how to beat JJ and Jeff/Kato and Ken, well Id be much obliged on the coin locations - most poeple I know cant get past the third stage, and most guides die out around stage 8, there have to be more stages.

Good article, guys; I knew virtually nothing about TG-16, and I always thought that the Sega CD was the first hardware to read CD-ROM's. The upgrading aspect sounds pretty cool, but pricy.

If anybody wants to capture a couple snapshots from some good-looking games, I'm sure Racketboy wouldn't mind wedging them into the article. I wrote to much that with no pictures it looks kinda drab. Boy am I long-winded!

Any in particular?

I shot racket what I had on hand - Tatsujin, Darius Alpha, Final Lap Twin, Legendary Axe, Beyond Shadowgate, Dragon Spirit, Fire Pro 3, and some others. They were from something I was doing on another site some time ago.
