I want to start collecting TG16 games so I have the USA TG16 but now I want to be able to play CD games and imported Hu Cards as well as imported CD games. I don't know where to turn. So I thought I would ask here. What can I do to play it all ?!?! Any sites or YouTube videos to look out for ?? Please help me out!! ??? |

Well, you already have a Turbografx-16 for playing U.S. Hucards. If you get a PC-Engine Duo, you'll be able to play pretty much everything else as the CD portion of the system doesn't have regional lock-out (therefore you can play both USA CD based games and Japanese CD based games on the unit) and you'll be able to play Japanese Hucard games. It's a big investment. You should be able to get a PC Engine Duo for about $200 and $60 shipping and handling. I actually won my PC Engine Duo for $107 on ebay. So, if you keep an eye out, you can probably get one at a better price. |

I saw converters and Super CD cards and boosters and had no idea where to turn and for the price of a Hu converter I could get a system. What do I do for 2 player action controllers and more buttons them just 2 ?? Thoughts ? |

Converter from PC Engine to Turbografx-16 are very expensive. They sell for well over $150. The advantage of the converter is if you already have a turbografx-16 in addition to the Turbo CD, you can then buy a Japanese Super System Card 3.0 for about $20 which will virtually transforms your system into a duo. In my opinion, it's just better to buy the PC Engine Duo. |

ah, so the PC Engine is the way to go...is the PC ENGINE with the CD called a DUO, too? like PCE Duo? or a different name? |
