Turbografx-16 Buying Guide (for runners of all games)
1 year ago

This is a buying guide for if you want to run any game, but I'm putting it in a popular TG-16 game, where it's likely to get noticed.

If you are a flashcart user, this isn't for you.

Buying a TG can be confusing. There are so many different ones with different functions. Where do you begin?

I would recommend getting a Region-Free Duo. Failing that, a PCE Duo. The Duos have a protective covering for the Cards (reason enough to own a Duo, even if you are not interested in the CD games), as well as a fully-equipped, region-free CD unit (as opposed to the separate CD Units which require their own cards to activate). For some of the games that use the Save Module, the Duo also has a built-in one of those as well. It's only one purchase, and well worth the money. Buying anything else is short-term cheaper, but ultimately a waste of money. But what about when CD units stop working? Even then, buying another Duo is a better replacement option than buying separate CD units with their own cards. At times, the Duos may not even be the more expensive option! Even if they don't, if you have some money to spare, you can own multiple Duos anyway, as owning another functions as extra save memory.

In addition to that, get a Turbo Controller if you don't have one. They are common and completely legal in just about every TG game, unless stated otherwise. You can also get longer and more fortified Wires for your Duo.

You don't really need a TurboTap or more than one controller at a time. Also, you may not be interested in games sold with the console, as they are usually cheap games sellers are trying to get rid of and rarely anything good. You should only buy a bundle if it has games you know you are interested in running.

Unless you're specifically running CD games off of original cds, do not buy a duo. Just grab a TG16, Coregrafx, or a PC Engine and an everdrive. That's easily the best and most cost effective solution.
