Johnny Turbo and poor marketing's role in the failure of the Turbografx-16.

[The Dord]

I grew up in SE Michigan too (Canton) and TG-16 was available at K-Mart - that's where I bought mine at in June of 1990! I also bought all my games at Children's Palace in Westland til they closed then went to TRU through the mid 90s… (still have some receipts - $59.99 for Splatterhouse!)

games could be rented at Movies & More and Game Masters (where I worked in high school) I bought many of the games from both stores when they started selling off their stock…

I know the system wasn't very popular… I originally got suckered into getting it but I was really happy with it and love it to this day!

Wow I only live in Bellevile and I remembered the same thing. The mail order catalog was an easier way to get their products imho
