Back when it was released my friend's cousin had it. I remember playing Bonk's adventure, I was amazed.
later on I had a choice between it and the Sega Genesis at my local Toys R us. I chose the Turbo.
My favorite game I got back then was Galaga 90. I remember another friend was a big fan and told me he had a few games, including Military Madness, in my head I assumed it was something like Metal Slug which came out years later.

When the SNES was released I sadly lost interest for a while, I remember getting a bunch of adverts from TZD/TTI, same friend told me his cousin got a Turbo CD and how great it was, sadly it was pretty expensive, later on in the 90s I started to collect for it again when I got a used system with Bravoman from a swapmeet, I then acquired an almost complete boxed collection most of which I got from Game Dude for very cheap before it got popular. I'd go there once a week and buy all the boxed games I didn't own, the guys up front would look at me weird for buying Turbo games most people didn't want. And also The Recycler, got a bunch of games from there for cheap. Love the Turbo.
