2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!

Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

I haven't found a poll like this in the use of the search feature. If one like this does exist, I do apologize for the inconvinence of having a thread similar to another. Hopefully, this will offer more complete options of what ways to play the games to choose from.

This poll is to determine what consoles from NEC the users here have, and/or any way they've played the games from the systems. If there is something that is missing or incorrect and should be added/fixed within the voting, do inform me as soon as possible.

As at least most users are aware of, I am now a proud owner of a TurboGrafx-16. I use Virtual Console, also, to download the CD-ROM games for the system (as I don't have a CD-ROM attachment for my console as of yet, and don't expect to get one soon due to possible rarity and high price; I still need to try out this type of emulation, as I've been preoccupied with other games that prevented me from doing this).

Up to 4 options have been allowed to be selected. If the choices "Practically all of them!" or "I don't have a way to play the consoles or games right now, whatever the reason that may be", then the others don't need to be selected.

I'm guessing what I have is what you mean as a variant of the turboduo?  Turbo Grafx with CD player with diving board converter and arcade card pro.  I also have a turbo tap, a reverse turbo tap, 6 turbo pads (still need avenue pad 6's), an ultimate superstick, an extension cord, and a turbo express.

Kirby the cd attachments seem to be in abundance lately on Ebay- you can find one now for cheaper than they were when I got my second one.  I say it's absolutely worth it- and the wii's put out only the smallest handful of turbo cd games for the vc at the moment.  Even if they release 50 more it won't be enough.

About the same started with a,TG16+TurboCD traded it away in the early 90's then ended up with a Duo-R and Coregrafx+SCDR2.

Talk about your irony  :oops:

I don't have PC-FX, nor have I played any PC-FX games (it is still a complete mystery to me). Otherwise....

Currently in the home a Turbografx 16 deck,and a Supergrafx with Super Cd Rom 2 drive. In the past have owned alot of TG16 Cd units and a briefcase combo with white PCE,and the 2 diff Coregrafx units.

Ninja Spirit

Turbografx 16 (no longer have), Black PC Engine Duo (broken), PC Engine Duo-R with a D-Lite installed region switch (Currently have)

When I was Duo-less for 6 months, I did borrow a guy's US Turbo Duo to just to beat Dracula X

rolins

I used to own a TG16, Turbo Express, Core Grafx II, PC-Engine GT, and Duo-R.

I still have a brandnew HOP-M3 laser which I'm saving when I buy a Duo-R/RX again someday.

natethegreat82

I own a TurboGrafx 16 with the CD attachment, a Turbo Express, a PC-FX and a SuperGrafx. I'm keeping an eye out for a Super CD-ROM drive as well.

rag-time4

I've got a US Duo with a diving board converter and Arcade Card Duo, and a TurboExpress.

Sinistron, I've got 2 Avenue Pad 6's and 3 Duo pads. Just enough for 2 player fighting games and 5 player action in other games. Although, I don't have any backup controllers in case one goes down in action...

Nazi NecroPhile

TurboDuo, TurboExpress, and emulation (M.E. and M.E.FX) is how I roll.  Someday, I'll add a PC-FX to the mix.

I started with a US Duo in '92 and bought an Express in '99. I eventually sold the Express because it just isn't something that I'd actually use (battery hog, crap screen, won't play CDs, etc).

Someone gave me a broken Core Grafx in 2002 (guessing) and I fixed that up. Last year I traded it to a guy here for an original PCE which I'll be converting to s-video soon (hopefully).

I've always wanted the Duo R since the ads in PCE magazine first showed it but they were too expensive when new ($400 or so). In 2006 I bought a broken one for $60 and fixed it. I sold the US Duo last year figuring I didn't need two Duos, especially one that's worth money. Since then I've installed D-Lite's region hack IC, and a blue LED.

So now, Duo R and OG PC Engine.

I voted-

I have a TurboGrafx-16 and/or its variants of the TurboDuo and Turbo Express.
I have a PC Engine and/or its variants including PC Engine Duo and Core Grafx.
Practically all of them!


As far as exposure goes, I got my first TG-16 within a year after it came out and I picked up the Turbo Express and Duo much sooner after they were released.

After losing $500 to a mail order company(Game Train?) advertised in EGM for a Turbo CD with Ys I & II when I was 13/14 years old, I didn't manage to finally get a Turbo CD until (I think) a year later, which would've been 1990/'91. While waiting for the Turbo CD to arrive at Radio Shack, I picked up Golden Axe and Super Darius locally and Side Arms Special not long after the Turbo CD finally arrived. So that was the beginning of my importing.

I didn't get a Kisado until SFIICE came out. But even then I didn't import HuCards. I picked up Vigilante and F1 Pilot during a trip to Vancouver a few years before I moved there. But it wasn't until I moved to the big city that I started to find PC Engine hardware and HuCards. But I had been importing CD games shortly after the Duo came out, including: Snatcher, Kabukiden, Ys IV, Neo Nectaris, Monster Maker, Cosmic Fantasy 2 U.S. and Exile U.S..
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!

I first got a TG-16 the Christmas they came out here in North America. I then sold it with all my games three or four years later. :( Then, just last summer I decided to make my move and I bought a US Turbo Duo. It, of course, had the sound issue.  As of now it's on its way to nat to get repaired and modded with the region switch, svideo, A/V ports.  :dance:

I just recently bought a TG-16 lot that came with the system, controller, and Parasol Stars. My brother also found at his place packed away in boxes a TurboPad and a TurboTap from back in the day. Maybe my TurboStick will pop up as well...well, you know what I mean.  :P  :-"

A Supergrafx will have to be purchased at some point, but I'll wait until I get my PCE/TG collection built up some more.

I know the shop Raven games I used to buy stuff from there years ago but they pretty expensive now..  that looks like someone has hooked the core grafx up to jamma adaptor board.  £99 is about $200 usd tho....

Turbo D

I have a setup similar to that one. Its not connected right now though.

 Two Tg-16s (got them insanely cheap)

I had a Turbografx-16 many years ago but sadly i left it behind when i moved to Michigan.

Last year i finally picked up another T-16 but i decided i wanted a DUO-R so i sold my T-16 and games and this year i finally had a chance to pick one up.

So now am a proud DUO-R owner and loving it. :D
