I jus love his weird attitude. For people who say he's like the AVGN, he's not. He has own unique comedy in his vids.
jim finn there a difference patt reviews good nes games while avgn reviews evrey bad video game.
Pat has his own niche, but he gave up the review game years ago.

zachary hammersmith Pat is more wholesome than James Rolfe's AVGN character, Pat doesn't curse nearly as much

I was really upset and felt like I was having a panic attack. This cheered me up so quickly and I'm grateful. Thank you, Pat.
Magical Chase did not have a CD case. It came packed in the box with the manual only.
Holy shit! Big same!
I’m from South Jersey but my dad worked in Trenton and always got the Star Ledger; he saw the contest and cut it out for me. The gimmick was since you’ve mastered the NES, try to win their “next generation” system by answering NES trivia questions - the NES questions were therefore about facts from when you conquered certain games. I remember I had to guess on a few, too, like the question: at the end of Double Dragon when you rescue Marion, what side of the room was the plant on. (That game was hard as balls and I didn’t beat it until years later in college.) I later saw another promotion in the Courier Post for a free TurboGrafx game with proof of purchase, and I wrote them a letter saying I got the system but didn’t exactly purchase it. They must have been feeling generous so they still sent me a free game! Great memories.
I like to rewatch this from time to time
Today is my day for absolutely no reason Lol
yeah :)
I felt happy for pat at the end when he got his game even though I know he bought it
The power of the TG-16...in the palm of my hand.
The "Denise" on the jacket totally looks like it says "Denial"
that's what I thought
I went to a retro game store and asked if the guy knew what the turbo graphx 16 is and he didn't know
Beat the shit out of him
I called one today by me where the guy thought Atari & Colecovision was the same thing lol These dudes need history lessons before they're given jobs =P
I was at a video game museum and whilst they had a PC Engine they didn’t have any TurboGrafx 16. Unacceptable.
AVGN's ROB: Skynet
Pat's ROB: Steven Hyde in robot form
Every time I see Pat's NES collection, I smile with a tear in my eye. From one gamer to another... it's just... so beautiful. Pat is also awesome and funny, glad that I subscribed to him!
I like how these early retro videos are a double shot of nostalgia now too the original time they were released as well as the years they reminisce upon, throw Christmas on top of that and they're a recipe for building a great vault of content.
Ty Pat!
It is great to see Pat's success over the years and we can't blame him at all for expanding his creativity into avenues other than the Punk. But in genre of playing a character who reviews games, this and a few of his other holiday videos are my favorite ones.
Pat somehow was able to tap into that joy and happiness of being a kid at Christmas at that period of history and bringing it to life for us as adults, even if just for a few moments. Thanks buddy
To go by other 90s comparison: Turbo Grafx 16 is to ECW what the Sega Genesis is to WCW to what the SNES is to WWF.
Nice one!
Greg Lytle Great analogy yo
Ecw 😂😂 I vaguely remember watching that
I still remember the day I clicked on this. I was only 12 years old, I loved Pat so much. I had all the Dvds and merchandise......
Now all he does is a podcast, or does he even still do that?
Wow, who knew Mike Tyson's greatest weakness was a closing door.
Whenever I watch a Christmas special, I get too excited for Christmas (even when it is August)
As soon as I heard the music I had to thumbs up this. Classic.
How big was Denise back then if the jacket fits you now???
I assume someone named Denise worked at Turbo Grafix USA back in the day and Pat found it in a thrift store. The story is part of the ongoing saga of his Childhood friend Kevin.
big enough to be fun at parties :(
I guess that the name reminds me of a song by Randy and the Rainbows called “Denise”. Take a listen.

Pat your just unadulterated awesomeness, when my son is older I'll encourage him to watch your vids (especially flea market madness) you actually leave me smiling after them. Your amazeaballs.
I have to wonder how much Pat actually paid to get Magical Chase because that game goes for insane prices, at least now.
Yeah it's worth a couple of kidneys at least now.
Even the _manual on its own_ will run you 20 bucks.
dude there is an ebay for 1,899$ just(!!!!!!) for the manual...not 20 bucks but almost a 100 times more...
Not saying this happened. But if i was selling a game to Pat that was rare. I would cut him a deal just because i know what he will do with it. Entertain us and preserve
Love videos like this. Thanks for not using the term "holiday" instead of Christmas.
1:15
Holy day
it also says christmas in the title :)
Why, does holiday Trigger you?
About the jacket being adult size: You have to remember that we all loved to wear ridiculously over-sized jackets and sweaters and things back in 1989 and 1990 days. If they were early teens, like maybe 14 or so, they would be almost full grown anyway, so it's fully believable that the jacket would be that size.
oh gee, this made me cry.. especially that happy facial expression when you were playing magical chase... its like-- many years of pain and finally the best day of your life comes..
You know, I'm not the hugest fan of you Pat, But you set this up so well by the time you opened the Turbo Game, i was crying. Thank you for helping me feel a little holiday cheer.
Come back to us Pat. This were the good old days.
Gotta love the music samples right from A CHRISTMAS STORY. Lol cracks me up
Hu Flung Dung the best christmas movie
@vivelecorn It never did, and please don't spoil the ending in your comments.
This makes me happy. I've only seen the show once or twice and it's easily been AT LEAST a year since then.
My brother got 'suckered in' by one of his friends and got a TurboGrafx-16. I loved it. There wasn't anything I didn't like about it except that no one I knew had one or had even heard of it. I had a SNES and Genesis at the time and my brother handed down the TG16 at my insistence instead of tossing it when moving out.
I just love the intro of this video, makes me feel like it’s Christmas.
I live in Western NY, and I hate the thought of snow. But I can't stop watching this video, it reminds me of my youth at Christmas. I loved getting video game stuff in present form. :)
I remember reading about the Turbo Grafix 16 in comic books but i
never saw any of those commercials before. Thank you Pat for the cool,
informative gaming history revist!
Those lights arent necessary. Your collection shines enough already :)
"I sold one of your kidneys on the black market". HAHAHAHAHA
love how the music is from a christmas story, nice touch
Love the Christmas Story opening.
TurboGrafx 16 was an interesting system, a friend gave me hers back around 2003 .. I had it for a couple years, collected some games for it on ebay and then sold it. The hu-cards were cool and some of the games were nuts! so many sprites moving around on the screen at once it was insane! These days have I have a emulator on my mac that plays TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine roms. Hope you have Devil's Crush, a great pinball game!
Denise must have been a pretty big girl for got a jacket made that fit a grown man.
Lol
***** It's not funny chubby chaser is the #1 problem in America.
LOL good observation
I had to reattach my balls after laughing them off, this episode was hilarious! I lived in rural Mississippi when I was a kid and I seen a few commercials of the TurboGrafx. Upon seeing the commercial my heart would race at the sight of such colorful games, especially Bonk. Hell, I always just assumed that was the pack-in title they sold with the console. Also, that Street Fighter II port blew my mind, un-fucking-real.
i used to be like, who is this guy on nintendo nerd? and now im like. he is a pretty awesome guy^^
I like how nice pat sweet guy always looking at the bright side.
I grew up in Chicago and we had TV ads all the time. Also, they set up a console at my local McDonalds and held tournaments for local kids to enter, to win one. To get kids interested in playing the system.
I had one of those and I finally gave it to a friend due to being underwhelmed. I enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Thank you!
Just bought a Turbo Duo R off eBay from Japan. We have a shit ton of games for Turbo Chip and CD but we wrecked our old console and CD port. So excited! It's upgraded with new capacitors and RGB hookup.
So pumped to finally have a turbo grafx 16! Complete with hidden gem Keith Courage!..... Ok so maybe not a hidden gem
Still my favorite pat video and one of my favorite vg videos of all time
I would love to see a rerelease of TG16 similar to the rerelease of Neo Geo Gold where the games are stored in a SD card and allow indie developers to make games for it.
This is an incredibly accurate video. As a TG16 fan, I thank you, Pat.
Magical chase... very appropriate name for the "chase" of tracking down that game.
its a magical chase indeed
I am a very non emotional man and I cried at the part where you got R.O.B's last gift. That was sweet dude.
Not only did R.O.B save video games as we know it. But he's also quite the seasonal giver.
That R.O.B, what a guy.
Wait, Atlus was involved in Bonk's Adventure? Don't you just love that, looking back at an old game and realizing your favorite developer had a hand in it's making? It's kinda magical.
And that 1st opening theme...That was so awesome!! Anything from Red and Hudson was just destined to be a hit!
I'm sorry but the character design with the revolver as his head, was simply amazing.
Pat's game room makes me claustrophobic lol. Avgn's nerd room is so cozy!
This was an amazing Christmas special!
Also, I will be watching more Pat episodes now that I see how awesome they are. Thanks Pat!
Loved this episode. Pure entertainment!
By far my favorite review from Pat.
Finally someone showing some love for the Turbografx 16!!
Sometimes you just gotta open it just to say "I opened a rare item, and it was GLORIOUS!" It's also just great to play something that no one else has played. One owner, one player. I did that with a 30 year old record. I was told it was a stupid thing to do, but I don't regret it for a second. It's not every day you get to hear brand new vintage vinyl.
And props on all of the research you did to reach the info and conclusion for this video... You're epic man..
Wow! This was one of your best episodes! So personal! And a great ending! Keep it up Pat! :D
D00d i had that same stuffed donkey kong as a kid. haven't seen one of those in years
You got christmas spirit when you see this.
Hey that Genesis game was Eternal Champions, I have that game, one of my favorite fighting games.
I enjoy the message in the video! He seems miserable thinking about Denise but then he is happy by the end of the video because he is playing turbo grafix 16 and gets to feel like a kid again. Anytime life seems hard I always bring out the old Nintendo and play some old school games. Then life becomes awesome again! Goodtimes!!
I was a huge Turbo Graphx fan when I was a kid. I had almost everything for it and when my friends came over to see me playing my Turbo Express they had no Idea what the hell it was. Double Dungeons was like crack to me and my friend, drawing a map out and then going out and rocking ass. Legendary Axe, that Zelda Clone that was awesome, Bonks Adventure, Splatterhouse. I played the shit outta it. That and I watched tv on my Express.
Omg the Christmas story beginning song. I'll never get rid of my first red Ryder haha
I had a Turbographx 16 and I remember Bloody Wolf and Bonk's adventure!
I know it's scripted, but the end where Pat is just playing Magical Chase and one of the last shots is him just smiling enjoying the game, it's nice and wholesome. I love it.
LOL i didnt finish the whole video till now, the end had me lol literally
i love how your parent tried the debate of whether or not to give it to you before christmas or not. like it was even theirs to give you since it came in the mail for you. thats shit my dad used to do
That SF port is damn impressive
Holy crap! I never Knew PC Engine had Street Fighter 2 CE. I just watched a youtube video, it's damn near a perfect arcade port, this would have been a game changer if NEC knew how to market in the US AND had SF2, at the time, this would have been THE killer app for a game system. This is a missed opportunity, what a shame.
You're right, it's a great port for the PCE, though the music loses something in the transition. That's why I can't agree when people like Pat say it's way better than the Genesis version. The Genesis version has its own issues, but the music sounds similar in many ways to the arcade due to having a similar sound chip. The music in a game like that matters a lot to me. I don't think it would have been the game changer some think it would. SF2 The World Warrior was the big seller and was SNES exclusive. Many of the people who wanted to play SF2 got that system before other versions came out in 1993. SF2 Turbo sold very well but less, while the Genesis game sold well, but not nearly as much. Plus, exclusivity agreements may have been an issue.
@@ravagingwolverine I think SF2 Turbo Edition was one of my favorite SF ports although it wasn't a carbon copy of the arcade,it was at least a pretty good effort. Championship Edition on the Genesis was a pretty damn good port, and honestly I preferred the Sega 6 button to the SNES controller, but visually Turbo Edition looked much cleaner and a larger palate of colors
@@crimsontide1980 They're all good ports, in my opinion(some say otherwise), with each having unique advantages and disadvantages. I can understand preferring any of them. SF2 Turbo on SNES is actually the one I had back in the day. Some of the sound in that one annoys me, much more than the scratchy voices in the Genesis. But that's just me. And, yes, the Genesis one naturally has less color, but I never thought it looked bad. But as I said, all three versions, Genesis, SNES, and PC Engine turned out pretty well.
@@ravagingwolverine very well said, cannot argue with that!
I'll give points to the Genny for the music, for sure. Not that the music sounded terrible on the PCE or SNES, but the Genny had the FM synthesis. It wasn't as powerful, so sometimes the FM synth didn't translate well on some games compared to chiptunes on the PCE and SNES. Overall, though, the Genny port of SFII falls short compared to the SNES and PCE ports in the graphics and colour departments. They're all great ports when you consider the era. Any one of them impressed.
I had the TG16 in 1992 and purchased the turbo booster plus for composite, and if I remember correctly it also had internal memory to save games. I found the TG16 CD in 95 for 60 bucks at a used game store in my home town, remembering it was like 600 bucks a few years before and it came and went that fast out of Toys R Us. Had alot of Hu Card games and like 7 CD games from the game store. Donated it to a needy family of kids without a system when I got a PS2 in 2000. Great system,alot great time
Thanks for helping me relive my childhood by reminding me of the excitement of these great systems =D
We used to have the console, but it’s not working anymore. The TurboGrafx 16 was released in 1989 by NEC and Hudson Soft, and it was the first and only 16-Bit console before the Sega Genesis came in. It has a decent library of games, and many of the games are not too bad for its time.
This was also the same company that now makes digital cinema projectors which were used in movie theaters which were also made by NEC where it replaced the traditional 35mm movie projectors, the most expensive movie projectors ever exist and they were beasts.
Awesome Christmas special! Happy Holidays, Pat! Damn you, Denise!
They need to show this on TV before Christmas
I love every time ROB the robot says something it makes me 😂
"What's next Rob? A Genesis game?" -unwraps gift- "Oh yea it's a Genesis game"
I really liked your story at the beginning of the video :)
awww man completly forgot about the turbografx express, another reason why turbo grafx 16 was so dope. Like What! that was unheard of and it still unheard of. Being able to play the same exact game handheld as the console was insane especially for that time.
wow... i've heard about the Turbografx 16, but never knew about what it was capable of... now i know and i will be seeking this console in the future.
I remember stopping at radio shack and lusting after a turbo graphics. I had a master system and Genesis but it was still cool.
I never even heard of the TurboGrafx 16 back in the day. And nice santa hat.
Ohhh the memories of the golden age of gaming!!! Nice vid man!!!
Similar to your story, I also won a TurboGrafx-16 contest [Turbo Titans] off a Chicago Sun Times Sunday paper (August 19, 1990) by answering 5 NES related questions! But, this is the fun part: unlike your parents telling you a UPS package arrived, my mom intercepted it, wrapped it in gift wrap...and gave it to me on Christmas day! I knew something was off the moment I saw it as she never bought me any gifts THAT big! I was pretty pissed she did something so weird! But anyway, I caught up with you once on Facebook to share the story because I saw your post on the PCEngine-FX forums and I've been looking for info on these 1990 contests which were sponsored by NEC (and Data East given the Bloody Wolf pack-in). Too bad it's lost to time for us history buffs.
I love this.
I've always wanted a TurboGrafx-16.
I remember my brother got his TurboGrafx 16 for Christmas and he played it all the time. It did last long until the console isn’t working by 1992 where he got the SNES and the Sega Genesis.
TurboGrafx 16 was the world’s first 16-bit console before the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo which came out 2 years later in 1991.
Military Madness remindes me of advance wars
That story at the end. I feel ya bro.
Such a badass room.
Using the version heard at the beginning of A Christmas Story was a nice touch. :)
congratulations for completing your tg16 collection
Man, gotta love that Legendary Axe music
Pat hung a stocking by the... game console with care, for a cat!! Love!!!!
Had one of these as a kid, it's a great system. It never got the love it truly deserved (in america anyway).
@crippledbazooka "Santa, my Fruity Pebbles?!"
Great system, underrated system...a lot of really fun nights...the turbo controllers were awesome
'member berries.
Merry Christmas buddy.
