So it was 1992 I decided I wanted a new game system. I had a snes at a time, a C64, and I think I still had my nes, but for some reason I can't remember it. Not could I remember my 7800 or 2600, and they seemed to have vanished as a kid. Anyways I wanted a new system because while I could find many cool games on snes, the selection was making it hard to find good RPGs. At this point I was 14, making $3.25 tax free on the family's dairy farm, so if I wanted something like a game for $32.50, I knew it was 10 hours of work, and I would write down on a little chart how many hours I needed to get what games.
Because of this hours needed to get each game, I started looking at game dude. I looked at games I wanted, their cost used, and cost for the system, and the new Turbo Duo actually beat out sega for most games I wanted at a cheap price, so I ordered a used one. At this point it was out for a few months, so their "used" system was pretty much brand new. It was a great system, and it gave me many fond memories. It also cemented my importing habits that started with DBZ 2 on snes. I think the Duo was like $150, so it was 46+ hours of work for me. Since this was in the fall\winter when I started saving, that was weekends and after school. And damned cold I might add. Froze my ass off to get that thing.
So yea. I loved the Duo so much, I spent 50+ hours working in frozen cow shit to get one. Well worth it too.
Haha, cool story man!
Wish i would of known about the system as a kid and jumped on some of this stuff earlier!
