[TURBO UNO]

Always like that game. Never understood why people disliked Robocop on the NES.

My G TURBO UNO the 1970s TV with the manual controls is the most egregious item as you pointed out. A TV/VCR combination would've been more accurate.

Yeah, even just having a black plastic tv makes it period correct. All good though as it was custom ordered with those specific items.

My tv of the 80s and mid 90’s was this 1984 Zenith space command. My dad went on spending spree when he won $13,000 at the horse racing track back in late ‘83 He blew the rest of the money in Las Vegas, smh.

It was good but the arcade version was great.

Oh for sure, any arcade was better than what the home consoles of the time could provide. I just think the NES version was pretty good, not a bad game compared to other stuff that released. I really enjoyed DataEast games.

TURBO UNO I think one of the main problems was how useless Robocop was in that 8bit NES joint. I actually had that game and I remember there being dogs that could take him out and way too many melee segments.

The 16bit Robocop vs. Terminator was a far better game.

Oh yeah, I remember some of those enemies but I recall the defense/attack was time sensitive. Just had to punch/shoot at the right time. It was a hard game but not terribly frustrating like say the windy stages on Karate Kid. I agree, the 16bit robocop versions are better. I only have the Genesis version though.

My G 3dgarfly23 those are some incredible Dreamcast pickups and the price you've paid is insane. Get some replacement cases on eBay and you're golden.

I remember begging my dad to order me this and the other GameCube bonus disc with OOT and Majora's Mask on eBay way back . The Master Quest is definitely worth playing.

Shame on me for not knowing what 95% of DC Covers looked like because I lived, "That life."

NBA 2K/2K1/2K2 were the only games that I actually had the covers to.

The others, you know.......

You're in the majority. I'm legitimately surprised that SEGA managed to sell any official DC games seeing as you didn't need any type of modchip or similar for the console.

You had a stack of 100 CDRs, a CD writer and you were golden.

It was bad timing for them. They took major Ls on their post-Genesis/MD hardware (32X, Saturn, etc...) and I don't think they had any money to incorporate some type of anti-piracy or DRM into the hardware.
