Didn't Turbografix have a hot Galaga game? Why isn't that on here?

Galaga '90. I have that game, with the box.
I had several places I could go to get and rent TG-16 games. Floppy Joe's in Plano rented Amiga, Apple II and TG-16 games, along with the usual suspects. There were 2 MicroPlay stores within 10 miles of where I'd lived. The one in North Carolton had 2 Asian ladies that were always arguing with each other, over everything. I almost didn't like going there, because of the way they acted, but the prices were good. I got my boxed TG-16 from the Plano store for $20, and I don't recall where I got my boxed Turbo Booster for $5.
I rented games like Bonk's Revenge from Floppy Joe's, and I only ended up buying 8 games for the console. I definitely thought that Bonk was a lame, over-hyped title. Military Madness, on the other hand, was one of my favorite games from the 16-bit era, and a couple of my stoner friends and I played the shit out of that title.

I recall Floppy Joe's but I don't remember if we had one in Austin. hindsight is a bitch I would say these days. My old friend who still lives in Austin was a huge Amiga nut and still has his 1000 with his old 1084s somewhere in a closest. I think he said it doesn't work anymore but I've been telling him people would buy it for a lot of money if it was an easy fix. I think he got an Amiga 3000 also with a Video Toaster if anyone remembers that thing.
But yeah back on the subject at hand. My desire for this thing isn't there. The Genesis mini I'm totally getting but this isn't an omg I gotta have it thing.

I thought the Video Toaster only worked with the A2000 and A4000.
The A3000 is a cool looking machine, though.
I could be wrong it was so god damn long ago but I'm like 90% certain he got a 3000.
Edit: One of my favorite monitors was the Commodore 1702 Model. To this day I always thought it was a sharp as fuck picture when I played NES games on it.

So does the Core Grafx have the same games as the regular PC Engine?
No there is one game different. The core grafx and TG16 have Salamander and the White one has Tokimeki memorial.
