Show posts MenuQuote from: InfraMan on 04/14/2014, 10:30 PMThe newness factor always helps when you first get into collecting for a different system. I find that I have temporary tunnel vision when it comes to retro gaming... when I first get into a new system, I'll collect for it almost exclusively for a month or two. After that, I'll get back into a regular groove of jumping from system to system.I feel very similar.
There are certain ones I go back to more than others, though. I really have a soft spot for the early-to-mid 90s CD-based consoles for some reason... it's interesting to see how developers were trying to figure out what to do with this new format. Plus, I really love the semi-sort-of animated cutscenes that were so popular at the time. For that reason, I don't think I'll ever get tired of the Duo (or its slightly "special" cousin, the Sega CD).

Quote from: galam on 04/13/2014, 07:49 AMI hope by "negotiable", he means "offer me half, because I'm not as dumb as the first post looks by coming here with ebay prices".I wasn't planning on it, don't worry. This isn't my first rodeo.
And Mr Wunder: if you pay anywhere near $85 for the duo Ys disc, please dont come back here. Its for you own protection.
Quote from: guest on 04/09/2014, 10:56 PMYep hold both, bullets will fly out of your chest cannon, you can even adjust the direction of the bullets with the directional buttons while firing. Do not underestimate it as it is quite powerful when you upgrade it to 3+.Oh ok that makes sense. I was just tapping them.

Quote from: guest on 04/07/2014, 03:42 AMThat's what I did along with Gradius II to get an initial taste of the PCE, before spending money on the actual hardware.All i had to do to get hooked was feel the amazing controller and play shadow of the beast once.
Quote from: Phase on 04/04/2014, 09:25 PMI would imagine it would need to be cut out like a decal.Quote from: PunkCryborg on 04/04/2014, 04:31 PMYou can always make a new custom nec faceplate if it's too messed upHow would you go about that?

I tried the dragon spirit one and it didn't work for me.Quote from: MrWunderful on 04/03/2014, 07:40 PMHere is a link to the cover project for TG16 games. I am not familiar with if it is just the cd case cover art, or the original cardboard.I think they are derivatives of the original boxes.

He can region mod it for you so you'd have your options wide open. I would contact him, his price was pretty reasonable. Or if you do wind up getting your hands on one you could always contact him for a region mod.I am actually working on a deal with him right now (great guy BTW, he is very patient with all my noob questions) Probably going to pick up some games too.
Great Idea! I do that with my gameboy games.
I just need to figure out how to store loose hu cards........
Welcome! 3-ring binder and collectible card sheets are the way to go.

Quote from: DragonmasterDan on 03/26/2014, 01:40 PMWere you specifically looking for a US model system, or just a system that plays US model games?[/quote]
Quote from: Arjak on 03/26/2014, 02:42 PMWelcome to the club!Awesome advice! Thanks so much
The Turbo truly is an amazing console, one of the most underrated ever, and considering the fact that you like shmups, I have a feeling that you'll love it. There are many excellent shooters for the system, many of them exclusive to it. Definitely look for the following:
-Blazing Lazers (HuCard)
-Gate of Thunder (Super CD)
-Lords of Thunder (Super CD)
-Star Soldier series (HuCard)
Those are just a few of the very best (that I've played). There are many others that will be worth your time. And, of course, there are many other different genres of games to play.
Still, I recommend you at least consider looking for a Japanese system. The PC Engine (as the Turbo was known over there) was much more popular there and will most likely be easier to find. They're also easy to get modded to play both American and Japanese HuCards (CD games are not region locked). If you're looking for an American Turbo Duo, you might be looking for a while, especially if you're looking for a good price.
Thanks for coming here! I hope your stay is long, yet pleasant.
