Hey everyone. I was referred here by someone on the Neo-Geo forums since I'm looking to start collecting TG/PC Engine stuff. I managed to get a cheap TG16 system (just the system), but now I'm exploring getting a Duo R or RX. My thinking is that between a Duo R or RX plus a regular TG16 I should be in good shape to play most things. I suppose I would prefer to have it modded as well, preferably with component.
Offers/advice welcome. Thanks!
Check with Turbokon and KeithCourage; they sometimes have systems available. By the way, don't shy away from the original PCE Duos. Once they've been recapped, they're generally just as reliable as the R and RX.
PCE and CD system can cost a bit more than a Duo.
FWIW RX only differs from R in that 6 button controller was included. Nothing else differs internally so don't fall for the pricier RX console if you go on eBay. RX console without 6 button controller is worth only about the same a R console.
I have the R and it's a nice machine.

Thanks for the advice. Good to know. Yeah, I think the PCE plus CD is not ideal for a variety of reasons. I guess my goal is to get a good system at a decent price, preferably modded but that's not a sticking point.
