It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

There was a game I played on my grandma's TurboGrafx 16 many years ago. I cannot remember the name, and searching over the years still has me befuddled.

It was a racing game, but with an RPG element where you had to continually upgrade your car and take on local race champs. I loved it and cannot for the life of me find the damn thing.

Edit: holy shit I think I found it. Final Lap Twin

I'm more shocked that someone actually had a turbografx back then, here I never saw a live one in my life, but it's a fun little console with some underrated gems, I'm having so much fun going through it's anime inspired library.

I don't know where she got it, probably ToysRUs back then. I would play it for hours. We only had an NES at home so we were always blown away at the graphics. Now you can find them in used game shops every once in awhile for 200 bucks, at least around here.

We had a TurboGrafx when I was a kid! We had Shinobi 3 and some game that was supposed to be like Punch Out! But I don't think it actually was called that.

That machine was a beast and I loved it.
