The TurboDuo is a combination Turbografx, CD player, and Super System Card in one package. What does this mean? It will play any Turbografx game released in North America on chip format (the little cards). It will also play any CD game released in North America and Japan (these are all region free), with the exception of games with the Arcade Card logo that require an Arcade Card add-on. It will not play Japanese PC Engine chip games, as these are region locked and require a region converter to work (PC Engine is the Japanese name for Turbografx).

There are 94 Turbochip games released in North America. There are 417 CD games released in both regions. Honestly, many of the excellent and desirable games were never released outside Japan, so the ability to play import CD games is a HUGE factor.

The TurboDuo also includes stereo output via RCA jacks, so even chip games will look and sound better here than on a basic Turbografx system.

Note that controllers are not compatible between the Turbografx and TurboDuo, as the slots are shaped differently. PC Engine controllers are the same style and will also work. If you're purchasing extra controllers, make sure they are TurboDuo or PC Engine style, and not Turbografx style.

I bought this system with the proceeds from my very first job as a teenager. After multiple moves across the country over the course of twenty years, this was one of the few things from my youth that I always made sure to pack up securely and take with me. I played, and cherished this system for over twenty years before the capacitors went before my last major move. I made the choice to leave it behind, but I'm really wishing now that I had made the attempt to repair the hardware. Now that even non-working Turbo Duos sell for several hundred dollars online, I know that I will never own another one...its just too expensive to justify. Actually, when it first came out in 1993, it was too expensive - even then. I believe it was $350 for the system at launch with six games included through NEC's Turbo Zone Direct (Ninja Spirit and Keith Courage HuCards, and Bonk I & II, Gates of Thunder and the hidden Bubble Bobble easter egg on CD-ROM.) That's over twice as much as competitors were charging, and equivalent to $575 dollars in todays money! Perhaps that's why it never took off like it should have. The aesthetics and colors of the games were beautiful, though. How I miss it.

Thank goodness for emulators, though. Even though I don't have the system, I still play these games today.
