Awesome game!! I played it once when it was on display at Radio Shack (wow, remember when they used to sell TG-16s?), fell in love with it and told myself, "I will buy this game." Dave

I've heard a lot of good things about it and seen great screen shots. Flea markets are always good places to find games. Though I don't see many Turbo games show up there. Once in a while I'm pleasantly surprised. Recently I picked up Fighting Streets, Last Alert, Valis 2 and Neutopia. One time I did see someone selling a whole box of sealed Parasol Stars games. The guy wanted to sell me the whole box but I only bought 1. This was about 10 years ago and I regret not buying the damn box! Who knew Turbo games would be so sought after? You can also try picking up the Sega CD version. Though I've heard it's not as good as the TG16 version. The TG16 can display more colors on screen and so makes it look a lot better.

Neutopia's not bad, but Neutopia 2 is an AWESOME game. I blew hours and hours playing it, but never finished it. (it was a borrowed copy, and I had to give it back!)

I've never seen one before... and was curious if any of you knew anything about it? (Why am I slightly reminded of the JagDuo when I see this thing! or that other rare Maria? Atari Proto..) -------------------- Cerca Trova - Seek and you shall find. Follow me on Twitter @mindthreat

Sadly got rid of my PC-FX while I was in Japan. Probably the one system I truly regret getting rid of. --------------------

The Arcade card only came out in Japan. You will need a converter to use it on the US models. There are 2 models, Arcade Duo (for turbo duo) and Arcade Pro (For Regular TG16). The games that came out for the Arcade card are Art of Fighting, and some other Neo Geo games.

Don´t forget the amazing vertical shooter, Sapphire. The ONLY reason you need to get an Arcade card (besides the fact that with the Arcade card inserted you don´t need the Super CD card).

A great Option to the system, for the time being, is to buy a copy of Magic Engine. It plays The Turbo graphix CD's, and Super CD's with no problem. Not sure if it plays any of the arcade CD's.

I´m pretty sure it doesn´t.

I really enjoy playing the PC Engine, there is alot of good games that where never brought to America.

Like VGLQ was for a while with the Jag? I actually have a TurboExpress (!) but only have a couple games (Victory Run... some other game that the guy swore worked but I never got it to..). The games that interest me seem fairly expensive... wasn't sure if I just didn't know 'the source' to go to.
