A local guy, however the previous owner who shot the whole system was off ebay, go figure   [-(
#2
I have heard back from the repair guy and he says the previous owner put all of the wrong caps in it, prfetty much damaging it, so im looking for a us duo, please pm me with a selling price. thanks in advance

Also if someone wants my broken duo as a partial trade for some reason that too can be arranged, it works but it will need speakers plugged into the headphone jack to get sound

Today: When i was told my turbo duo is way more broken than i thought, that made my jaw drop :(

I don't Know if i prefer The turbo over snes or genesis.  I love the turbo grafx, However I grew up with Super nintendo and Genesis.

The rpgs for snes were amazing like Zelda, super metroid, chrono trigger ect.  Then you had the mario games.  I got into turbo grafx because it was cool, obsecure and i did not have one as a kid, nor did i even know what it was.  The Turbo grafx has a lot of neat and akward titles that peak some interest, i believe this is why it is a "niche system" to some.

I rate the sega genesis the snes and the Turbo grafx 16 as equal for their differences

Well then im not missing out on anything
#6
is there a difference between galaga 88 and galaga 90?
#7
I started on and off about 8 years ago since then i have owned:

Pc engine
Super grafx
a few turbo grafx and a few turbo grafx cd's

I now own a US duo, have around 35 games...

#9
Im not sure if this is one that is overlooked but I love Galaga 90  :D

Quote from: MasonSushi on 03/23/2011, 03:23 PMyou might need to find a busted system and get the lid off of it.
I had hope that some one here had a spare broken duo or 2 that they would sell the part from
The trouble is... there arent many duos out there that cant be fixed anymore :D  I only had one unit that was unrepairable, and unfortunately, I've already donated the door to another Duo..  If you want the old door you can have it.  one of its two hinge pieces is broken off.  I can get you a pic if you want it.
Yeah, i would love to see a picture, it is better than nothing, which is what i have now.

That is a really neat idea, i have to see if i can find those, the only issue is that my loose hu cards have no instructions either, i would love to do this and buy these label stickers.  I only have 5 or 6 loose. and one is air zonk, which is expensive when complete, mine was 5.00 at a yard sale, Otherwise i try to buy hucards with the inst and case

#16
is there anyone who reproduces the actual cases themselves?
#17

It was also broken (no sound) i am having it repaired and i would love to find one of these hu card covers for it please send me a pm. this is a us duo.

Hi, all first time poster...

I am from rochester NY, i don't believe many stores around here carried turbo stuff other than toys r us, my first turbo system was bought 5 yrs ago by an x toys r us manager, it is relatively hard to find any turbo grafx stuff out here in the wild...
