I love all formats of the PCE/Turbo and some of my favorite games are Hueys (SF2, Air Zonk, Bonk's Revenge, Legendary Axe, Blazing lazers, Splatterhouse...etc). That said I love SCDs for the inclusion of awesome soundtracks and anime cinemas that can make an already great game fantastic. I remember once I got my Turbo Duo many years back one of the first games I made sure to get was Rondo of Blood. It's hard not to get spoiled after that I guess.

To limit yourself to certain games based on the medium seems silly. I play great games, it rarely enters into my mind whether I'm picking up a cart or CD.

I don't discriminate...there are plenty of great games on both CD and Hucard formats. 

However, I do like the physical appearance, the unique shape and the presentation of the Hucard over the CD.   In other words, Hucards look pretty damn cool. 8)

I like both equally.  There is no Shadow of the Beast hucard

and no Final Solder for CD.

I agree with Arkhan, but with a more positive outlook:

There is Image Fight for HuCard, and there is Image Fight for CD.

Well, I am here for both, but I actually think (in this latter era) the HuCards are cooler.  Optical media are everywhere nowadays but the cards are still unique & neat-looking.

Lol, who wants to refrain from some ubergood huey action? I don't think that there is just one sane person who wants to. And it just would be retarded too.

Honestly, I hardly have a huge collection, but I've generally been preferring the HuCard games.  There are certainly great games on CD like Gate of Thunder and Rondo, and to a lesser extent the Ys games, but I've been finding that a lot of the supposedly classic CD games seemed to mostly rely on the novelty of having cinemas, CD music, and the like more than gameplay.  Valis 2 and 3 were pretty much just bland Castlevania knockoffs.  Exile was a bit better, but the boss battles suck, and the gameplay isn't all that tight.  And while I quite enjoyed Shubibinman 3, it's only a half hour long and can easily be beaten the first time.  It felt more like the demo of a great game than a complete game, and I wished they used the time, money, and space to do more levels rather than cinemas.

some of the times i find the CD music in a game to be distracting/irritating.

Fausette Amour for example.  That music is kinda lame.  Its too jazzy. Id rather have heard some pounding chiptune rock.

I'm a fan of both.  I love the portability of the HuCards and the extra graphical and audio touches to the (S)CDs. 

Before this thread I hadn't even thought of being a fan of one over the other.  I owned a vanilla TG-16 until the CD add-on was released, then I bought that ASAP.  So I've been a fan of both mediums pretty much forever and never really distinguished between the two.  It's all Turbo-goodness to me. :)

That's strange, I uberlove the BGM of Fausette Amour, just because it is so unique and has kinda a dark touch. The intro music gives me the goosebumps when ever I lissen to it.

Interesting, I have generally played and collected HuCards rather than games on the PCE CD format; well until recently (Past year of so)

Probably the reason is that I had used to play and collect Hu in the day, as I could not afford a CD unit.

I kinda still wonder why a number of Hucards weren't re-released later on SuperCD or ACD, "Best Collection"-style...
