TurboGrafx 16 CD System

[JRedmond3]

If you're getting a PC Engine I'd recommend the Duo-RX, I've owned 1-2 of those and they worked well. The standard black/purple ones seem a bit more finnicky.

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

because they were boxed out of the market when they were readily available back in the day, so they've become rare today and gone up in value.

Now if TurboGrafx-16 and it's CD add-on sold like SNES or Genesis, it would be a cluster of those on ebay selling at dirt cheap prices today.


I was amazed to see the Atari Jaguar go up in value to now it's rare to find it and it's CD accessory.

that and Tiger's Game.com pocket pro

these systems that nobody else wanted back in the day, deemed mediocre I would buy up, mainly because it being the unheard of system. Now everyone wants to own it.

The TurboGrafx CD and its Japanese equivalent, the PC Engine CD-ROM, are the two biggest pieces of shit I've ever come across. They either don't work right or just don't work, period. I bought a TurboGrafx CD knowing how unreliable it was, but I would have NEVER expected it to be so shitty its laser mechanism jams as soon as you leave the console off for a few hours or even a few minutes. I got so pissed off with it I ditched it in favor of a PC Engine Duo-R. MUCH better for playing PC Engine CD-ROM and Super CD-ROM games than the stupid TurboGrafx CD/PC Engine CD-ROM add-on. It's a huge pile of steaming crap that's just waiting for the perfect opportunity to give you hell, then die. It's a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off.
