The Christmas I got my Turbografx 16, it was awesome. I was a Freshman in High School. I wanted one so bad and we thought I wasn't going to get it because of the smaller size the box was versus other Videogame Consoles. My Cousin got the Sega genesis with Sonic the Hedgehog, Joe Montana Football and That Buster Douglas Boxing Game. I got the Turbografx 16 with Keith Courage in the Alpha Zone, Alien Crush and my Grandparents got me the mother of all games for me at the time, Splatterhouse...

See, I had played Splatterhouse in the arcades and was really wanting a home version of it. I was so happy when I saw that box come out from the wrapper. My Cousins were even quite jealous, which never seemed to happen on Christmas Morning for me. I had the game and it was the only system that had it. I remember plugging the system in on Christmas morning and us going at it with the game. My Grandmother, who was one of the biggest horror fans I have ever known, looked at my Grandfather and said "For God's Sake Chuck, what did we buy him?" I'll never forget it as long as I live. Was an awesome day and Been a Turbo fan ever since. The system still rocks at my house to this day! The only downside of the day was I was barred from Playing Splatterhouse anymore that day due the the content and it being Christmas...
