Nice find man, those HD-CRT's are getting harder to find!

Grab some component cables for your PS2 and enjoy all your favorite ED/HD and 16:9 compatible games!

Well, I went to see that lady who wanted to give me the console for free. I never thought I could be so lucky. Unfortunately, the reason she gave me the console is because it was her son's, and he had unfortunately passed away a while ago, and she held onto the system. She said to me that she wanted to give it to someone whom she knew could treasure it and enjoy it, and when she saw my article in the newspaper she knew I was that guy, which was quite the honor in itself. But enough of my babbling, here's what I received:

Image
Wow indeed.
Image
A bit tattered, but I'm lucky to have it.
Image
Image
Multitap and four controllers, the one on the far left is broken however.
Image
Most games with cases and manuals, some with Card Pouches. (I guess you could call them that) Here's a list:
Veigues Tactical Gladiator (no manual)
Vigilante
Final Lap Twin
Splatterhouse
Alien Crush
Andre Panza Kickboxing
The Legendary Axe
World Class Baseball (no manual)
Bonk's Revenge
Sports TV Football
Battle Royale
China Warrior
Takin' It To The Hoop (no manual)
Keith Courage in Alpha Zones
Sidearms
Galaga '90
MotoRoader
Bravoman
Bloody Wolf
Gunboat
Aero Blasters
Image
A Turbografx Guide book, a NASCAR comic (which was there because the lady works at Daytona International Speedway so I guess she got it for free), and three games without cases. Klax (with a manual), Talespin, and Legendary Axe II
Image
Some cases without games. Dragon's Curse and Bonk's Adventure
Image
Cases without games, manuals, or even tops, just the base with the spine stickers. Ninja Spirit and Dungeon Explorer.

NOW, the only problem is it didn't come with AV cables, but I found some around the house. The only issue is, the console doesn't work, like it doesn't power on. I have it all plugged in and everything. I didn't try it without the Turbo Booster, maybe that's the problem, I don't know, but maybe one of you TG16 collectors can help me out with this? Been dying to play this since I received it this morning.

And yes, this was all absolutely free. And yes, I nearly had a friggin' heart attack.
