So awesome that you've amassed them all.  And I sit in wonderment that there are only 94 original TurboChip releases during the system's initial run.  That seems so small...

I'm with you, SirPsycho, I have a TG-16 and a handful of card-based games, but as much of a cheapskate as I am, it's hard to justify $35 for Final Lap card-only, and other such nonsense I sometimes see in the wild, so until I can source some good games a little cheaper, I'm going to stick with emulation for my Turbo fix.  I have a Raspberry Pi setup coming, and I'm excited to play with that.  It will be nice to finally play Valis II on TV (instead of a PC screen), since I actually own that CIB.  But I do hope to track down some of the rest of the library, including all the good TurboChip shmups.  Having said that, I know AeroBlasters will probably be a chore to find, in addition to the aforementioned Magical Chase.  I might opt for a repro on that one.

Don't get a counterfeit copy. Get a flash/everdrive or something instead!

I 100% agree. Grab a Turbo Everdrive from Stone Age Gamer. You'll have the entire US and JPN library at your fingertips + homebrew, translations, and tools

@Crabby: I can recommend that he goes for the more cost & gameplay effective Everdrive route, but I can't stop him from buying a repro. If he does decide to buy a repro I figured at least he should know what to look for. I'm assuming you've run into some trouble regarding repros at your store. Any tales you'd like to share?
