TurboGrafx 16 CD System

Woah! One of these puppies is up for auction:

I love TG16!

[Leathco]

They come up often. Usually bundled with the system. Kinda sucks for me, cuz all I need is the CD player and base attachment, I have the system.

Every time I bid on one, someone outbids me by a few bucks.

It's ridiculous how expensive TG/16 systems are... used even! You can get a SEGA+CD+32X and a Saturn and a Dreamcast (all of them together) for less than a TG/16+CD most of the time.

Your very first post and it's a link to an auction? Yeah, no coincidence there ;>_>

[GohanX]

If only we had a place where people could post their auctions. Hmmmm...

TG16 CD systems do cost stupid money. Might as well go all out and get a RGB modded Duo, IMO.

this should be over on the Auction Block in Sonic's Bazaar. Though I will Agree that Turbografx-CD is indeed an awesome system to own w/ lots of good games:

Super Air Zonk
Lords of Thunder
Gate of Thunder
Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams
Akumajō Dracula X: Chi no Rondo

Dragon Slayer Legend of Heroes
Gradius 2
Macross 2036
Star Parodier
Super Darius
Super Darius 2
Forgotten Worlds
Ys 1 & 2
Ys 3
Cosmic Fantasy 2
Exile

And given the games you can buy for it (in comparison to a Gen+SCD+32X+Saturn+Dreamcast as Chilly Willy said), it's really not worth the money right now. Ergo, the Turbo CD is overrated.

But I think the regular TG-16 is pretty good in terms of rated-ness.

In his second post too. Wow.

I would own an original TG16 and CD along with the Turbo Booster and Multi-tap if it all didn't cost so much more than anything else out there. I tried to settle on a regular Japanese DUO, and two dead CD-ROM drives later I ended up with a DUO/R. If the market on unmodded Turbo hardware drops out, I'll be the first to grab the original stuff.

You're forgetting that the TG-CD has no copy protection or region protection...

You don't need the booster with the CD

Good to know, I won't play anything on RF anymore.

Hmm... Yeah you have a point there. But for that you could somehow find a PCE-CD, or better yet a Sega CD. I know the Sega CD has nowhere near the games as the PCE-CD has, but for what the system costs, I think you get better value.

[Da_Shocker]

That CD add on looks ugly as hell! And why are these machines so damn expensive now?

[Shogun]

Yeah I was going to get a TG-16/CD combo, but the CD is damn expensive. Not only that, the US Super System card is around $100 by itself. Also I heard those old CD players can be pretty unreliable. I just went the TG-16 and PC Engine Duo-R route.
