[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: How do you like your turbo games?]

I own a TurboGrafx-16 and a TurboDuo. I currently have 16 HuCARD, a CD-ROM² & Super CD-ROM² game (coincidence?). When possible I stick with cartridge/CD, manual, and case without concern over including a large cardboard box; that's more of a bonus if the price is right. All too often stores will greatly mark-up a difference between the completeness albeit poor condition. To save $10 by passing on a large box is easily another game to be owned at a later time and played in addition to neatly residing next to other titles. Only 3 of my HuCARD games are loose but that's due to being bundled with a system among other cased games. On the question of importing, I have stuck with domestics for the TG-16, however both of my Super CD-ROM² and CD-ROM² games are imports for play on the Duo. The majority of CD-ROM games I spot in stores are Japanese whereas desirable HuCARDs are domestic as I would rather not own numerous imported sports titles. Until I stumble across a TG-16 import worth investing in a converter I plan to hold off.
