Anyone else have any experience with a Turbo Duo?

I dug my old one out of the closet a few days ago and dusted it off. It turns on, but all I get is a weird baby-blue color on the TV screen with no other reaction.

Ask in the retro games thread. Lots of knowledgeable goons w/r/t old console internals. I'd link but I'm phone postin.

Happy Mother's Day, Amerigoons. Say something nice about your mother to your mother. She probably worked hard to buy you a piece of plastic that she didn't fully understand because it made you happy as a kid. My mom gaming story: she had an original GameBoy with Tetris in it in her bathroom until 2011. She also brought home the unofficial FFVII strategy guide one day because she knew I had just gotten the game and was very excited about it.

Of course, she also scared me so bad I pissed myself because I had been playing Starcraft online even though I had been grounded from the computer and she came home in a fury 'cause she couldn't call home since I was tiring up the phone line. Ah, memories.

My mom supported my gaming habits until I was old enough manchild to pay for my own. Also I believe it is a universal law that all moms have to have played Tetris and be good at it.

I started playing that Shadow Warrior from a couple years ago last night. That game rules. I found a couple of bunnies banging in the forest and discovered if you kill one of them the other one turns into a demon bunny and starts warping all over the place trying to eat your face while screamo metal plays in the background

Those were in the original too. You'd sometimes find two rabbits just hopping around and when they'd get close, they'd start banging away. When they were done and after a few seconds another smaller rabbit would pop out of the female rabbit. If you killed one nothing happened but in one level you'd find a rabbit with a sign near it that said something like danger, killer rabbit. If you got near it it would fly at you and do serious damage. I'm not sure if you could kill it.

I feel burned by Quake 4. Speaking of, were Quake and Quake II actual sequels to each other or are they not related at all? Both games are so different in tone and setting but it felt like they were at least very loosely related.

Cool. That actually sounds perfect. A younger me would never have hoped for a game to be short, but more and more I feel like I want a game I can finish in a few 2-3 hour sittings. I might try to rent it then. I feel like If I set the time asside, and I could play 10 hours of a game in 3 days and that would be pretty cost efficient.

If the game grabs you like it seems to be grabbing all who have played it, then you definitely will be able to finish it during a redbox rental. It's good!

I imagine it is just because people want to believe that if they like a thing, that the creator of said thing is a good person, and they don't want to feel conflict by finding out that the good thing they like is actually made by someone who is not good

I think maybe when this kind of thing happens it's also difficult for some people because then they go back and retroactively wonder if there's something wrong with them for liking the person's work, or if the creepy/uncomfortable/annoying thing about their personality influenced everything they made. A lot of times people shut down rather than confront things like that.

Is Doom single player actually good after all? Saw an ad for it right before an ad for the new movie adaptation of The B.F.G.

Hell yeah it is :) It's fast and punchy with a suitably ridiculous story to go with it. I bought it at a discount from GreenManGaming but it plays very well on the consoles too. Mouse and keyboard are not required. The multiplayer isn't the best but I had fun with it just enough to get the two achievements tied to it but I have a feeling that it will be dead soon. SnapMap looks somewhat robust but also limiting. I'm sure there is some great stuff that could be made if the community is willing to work within those limits.
