    Default Turbografx Hucard collection complete today!

    Well, they are loose (with sleeve) but I am very happy nonetheless. I received my very last hucard today (Sinistron) and my USA collection is now complete with a total of 94 hucards (well, 95 if you want to count the CD rom card). Not much to see, but the attached pic shows the entire set on the left side of the card box. Right side is a slowly growing PC Engine collection

    Congratulations!


    You are right that it would look nicer if it had cases, manuals, etc., but it is a complete collection, nonetheless, and it still looks good to me.

    Yeah, this is one of the few systems in which the carts (or cards) still look and store very nicely loose. The box was designed for baseball cards, but works equally well for hucards. I have it all alphabetical, so it is as easy as a quick flip to whatever game I feel like playing at the moment

    USA collection? I always thought TG 16 games were "Turbo Chips" and PC Engine games were HuCards. Congratulations all the same!

    They called them "Turbo Chips", yet they say "HuCard" on them I guess Hudson enforced the name!

    Believe it or not, this is the FIRST game system collection that I have ever completed...that is obtained all of the games for a specific system. I came close with the SNES and Genesis at points, but never went the complete route. I figured that this collection would be much easier since it was only 94 games....I couldn't be more wrong. Some of these games were REALLY hard to find. Also, I was strictly looking for loose hucards to obtain the games I love and to try to save money. Even still some of these games were quite expensive to obtain...even loose.

    What I really like is that the collection is so compact and easy to store.

    I don't like anything but complete games, but regardless, you have the entire collection. If I owned the entire collection I guess I wouldn't mind whether they were complete or not.

    Yup! It is the most valuable shoebox sized box in the house At least I can easily grab it and go if I ever get flooded (been through two floods in the past two years...NOT fun)

    Ditto, too bad it's impossible to find one around here since no one really owned one.

    Congratulations on an awesome set!

    It's funny, I store my Hucards the EXACT same way - in a baseball card box. Most of my Turbo games are complete, but that way I don't have to crack open the flimsy boxes every time I want to play a game. Works well with a TurboExpress too, just grab the express and the cardboard box and you are good to go Collecting Turbo stuff is not easy - great job on a great collection.

    Now... do you also have the complete Turbo CD and Super CD collection? You want to talk about a pain to collect... ugh

    Congratulations! Packaging may be flashy to look at, but it's the games that count. Don't let anyone or even yourself try to make it out to be less of an accomplishment just because they're loose.

    And have fun with the PC Engine collection. There are so many awesome games that didn't get released in the U.S that you'll be busy collecting for a LONG time.

    Well, good question. I did get ahold of a working original TG-CD unit (have it hooked up and am listening to a Cars CD as I type!) and may dabble a bit in TG-CD collecting. I still do not have a Super System Card, so SuperCD collecting will have to wait. CD's WILL be complete however...nothing worse than a loose cd

    But, I think even before all of that I will grab some PC-Engine titles I really want. All of the Sega titles (already have Shinobi...need Thunderblade, Outrun, Altered Beast, Afterburner) and some other choice PC-Engine games that are English friendly. Actually, there are probably a few hundred I would want This will be a slow progression, and I do not think a complete PC-Engine collection is something I would ever want.

    Aside all that, I also would like to someday complete my Atari Lynx collection. I have 37 so far I believe, as well a a mint original model that took me forever to obtain in this condition

    Congrats man! Those games stacked like that look so sexy!

    But question, so there are only 94 TG16 games released? If so, I can try for a complete set!
