You guys rock, thanks for all the great info.

Looks like I've got some hunting to do!

You really, really, REALLY need to check this guy's video reviews out! If you want to get an idea to what games your looking for Chris Bucci's vids are a must see. They are the best Turbografx/PC Engine reviews on the net.

For sure, thanks for the info. So really the main reason to go for a Duo-R is because the JP versions of the games are significantly cheaper?

The main reason to go for a Duo-R or RX is that they are known to be far more reliable than the likely to die original Turbo Duo or PC Engine Duo.

It also seems that sometimes a fully functional Duo R/RX is usually cheaper than a fully functional US Duo.  So you could probably get a Duo R/RX + us TG16 for the price of a working / restored US Duo.

Nice. I watched some of that dudes videos.

So yeah, if anyone has R-TYPE, a DUO-R, and a AVE 6 Controller, I'd love to buy/trade for them all!

Thanks!

Debating whether or not to let my US Rtype go.... i've got the two PC engine games.....  I'll think bout it!

1st Five "relatively" cheap games you have to get:

1. Gate of Thunder (will blow you out of your socks)
2. Winds of Thunder (ditto)
3. PC Genjin (a PC Engine is no real PC Engine w/o a PC Genjin)
4. Bomber Man '93 (ditto)
5. R-Type 1&2 or complete cd (still one of the most legendary games on the PC Engine, and also one of the very early killer apps. that helped the PC Engine to become what it is today).
