    Depends on who you ask. I haven't priced the base console in a long while, but I picked up mine over 8 years ago for a fraction of that. As the number in the wild dwindles, the price rises. You probably paid more for it than you needed to, though Ninja Spirit is a good conversion and probably drove up the price some. But you didn't get totally hosed, either, I just think maybe you paid a tad too much. But glad to see more people getting into the Turbo - I'm on the hunt for more games for mine, and eventually a CD-ROM attachment at less than the cost of a vital organ

    I have no idea what the market price is for the TG-16, but I can say that it is an awesome system that has just enriched your collection with the addition of Ninja Spirit.

    That's on the high side for that particular package. Having said that, it's a good system and those are all pretty good games, so you should have some fun with it.

    seems a bit high to me too, unless it was all complete

    but then again who am I to say, I found mine in a dumpster with a turbo booster, all complete except missing A/C adapter.
    also found 3 ti99 4/a's an apple IIe and tons of programming stuff from the same era...was an odd find

    I paid 200 for my Turbo back in the day but I don't care. It's a great system either way.

    Turbo Booster would've been a nice start. Of course I'm one who appreciates RGB and such things.
