Terrible Article from Toms Hardware

Tom's hardware has posted a terrible article titled "7 Gaming Systems that Were Epic Failures".  The first system on the list is the TurboGrafx-16.  I guess Tom's Hardware is unaware of how successful it was as the PC Engine in Japan...

I also really enjoyed the following quote:
"While the graphics were an upgrade over the NES and Sega, the games were for the most part unoriginal rehashes or lame rip-offs—check out "Fighting Street""

I guess near perfect arcade translations are considered "lame rip-offs".

Another great quote:
"This low rating for the Neo Geo is really more over my jealousy of not being able to own one."

Uh huh.....riveting article.  Sounds like he only looked at a picture of the N-Gage judging by the review.

Tom's Hardware is a great place to find tools for improving your PC performance.  I didn't realize the site articles were also written by tools.

PC Engine Entity 2 ceases operations.


After 6 years of being a dedicated NEC sharer, and all the help from the people in the community that made it happen, i have decided to close the doors on the hub. Lack of interest in the hub brought on by torrent madness, has seen the hub turn up ghosts, cobwebs, and tumbleweeds, with only a few last regulars hanging out in the dust and fallout.

I appreciate all your patronage over the years, and for helping make the scene richer with image content, and quality. The days of laughter and trading have come to pass, but the memory will always remain.

You will still catch my share on other hangouts, so i am not disappearing, and i will still remain a contributor to this amazing site i have adored for many years(THANKS OD!), so all is well.

You all will be missed!!!! Cheers for the makings of a successful run!!!!!!
