I think he used to have it modded, actually.
Not long after the Duo came out, I remember seeing regular TG-16s drop as low as $50 with a game included. I can understand the younger gamers here missing out on deals though since it's harder to follow the industry.Quote:

SSS with the next update.
'tis Monday, and no new VC games. Dammit.
I nabbed Sonic 1 to try out the Genesis emulation, and it's great also. It looks better than my CDX hooked up through composite, the colors are nice and vibrant. Sound is 95% there, music is good but digital sound effects are slightly off in some places. Not worse (some of the samples are higher quality) but just different, like they re-encoded some of the digital sounds at a higher bitrate.
Super Star Soldier....I never got that on TG16. Me want.
any time we had a power outage, since the Xbox doesn't have any kind of battery to remember the time past a few minutes after it's unplugged, the Xbox date and time thing would try and load and wouldn't load the mod software, and it was always a bitch trying to get it past that. Maybe they've improved that since but I don't know it annoyed the hell out of me and I just stuck with roms and other things on my PC, and now that I built a home theater PC, there's nothing a modded Xbox can do that it can't.Quote:

So when I heard they'd dropped the TG-16 to $50 at Waldensoftware, I had to have it. It was our third system after our SMS and NES.Quote:

Then a month later we got Air Zonk, then in August '93 Bonk 3 was released. Good times. And as I said in another thread, the Bonk/Zonk series IMHO had some of the best wacky/'toon character designs and animations before Earthworm Jim.
One year later, Waldensoftware was already selling off their new Duos in anticipation of TTI's coming demise. Me and my brother pooled our allowances again and with help from our dad got a brand new Turbo Duo with all the pack in games for just $99! Gate of Thunder made my jaw drop.
Super Star Soldier is up on VC as of now.
In other news, Nintendo apparently updates VC at bizarre times. Why right now, as opposed to midnight or something?
Man I may have to get SS just for the music alone.
