Hi, Im new to this forum as Ive just bought my first PC Engine! Ive wanted one for well over a decade, Im so excited about it!

Any way, Ive got a simple question, will a Turbotap for the TurboGrafx-16 system work on a Japanese white pc Engine as Ive found one cheap?

Any help would be excellent. Much respect to the Forum, its well laid out and full of usefull stuff! I hope to be around for a long while, Ive got a decade of games to catch up on!!!

No the TurboTap isn't compatible with pc engines/turbo duos since it uses a larger plug.  You need either a pc engine multitap or a duotap.  www.tzd.com has new duotaps for $20.

Does anyone know if a DIN-5 to PS2 convertor for PC keyboards will work for this?

Wow, great deal, even with the shipping included.

I ended up getting one from www.japangamestock.com  for £30 (50odd dollers) with 3 controllers including postage, which seemed pretty reasonable.

Another question, Ive now got 5 pads on their way to me, is there any other multiplyer games on the PC Engine that support up to 5 players??? (apart from Bomberman!!)

MotoRoader! Not everyone's cup of tea, and not the best game, but my friends and I have had a lot of fun with it. If you like MotoRoader, then you can explore the 2 sequels (but they are expensive) and Dekoboko Densetsu Hashiru Wagamanma (CD).
First see if you like motoroader, though.

Crap, how could I have forgotten that one?! Get Dungeon Explorer (and its sequel) before you get MotoRoader.

I've been playing the MotoRoader and Dekoboko games recently, I can't get my mind off them, it seems. :)

Well its come, my beautiful boxed white Pc Engine with a scart conversion (won off ebay for £8). Its a bit tatty but works like a dream. Ive been hammering Salamander 2 player and 5 player Bomberman 93. Im loving it. Thanks for the good advice, Dungeon Explorer is on its way!

Motoroader is the greatest.

My Turbo-hating friends and I played it every school day for months before getting sucked into Bomberman.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!
