What is the Difference

[CPTRAVE]

Ok, so I am confused, what is the difference between the Turbo DUO, the Turbo Duo-R and the Super Grafx? 

[Necromancer]

The TurboDuo is the US version of the PCE Duo (the first all-in-one system), the Duo-R is a Japan only cost cutting revision to the original Duo, and the SuperGrafx was an ill-fated attempt at a improved, more powerful system to better compete with the 'real' 16-bit systems (it proved to be unnecessary, as the original system could compete well enough on its own.... in Japan at least).  The SG has the same CPU and sound chip but has four times the system ram and adds a second video controller - doubling the video ram, adding a second background plain, and doubling the number of sprites on screen.

So many PC Engines, But I still like the Turbo DUO

SuperGrafx is worth owning if only for Ghouls & Ghosts and 1941.

A note: the Supergrafx dead ended before Duos existed, so while in some ways it's more evolved than regular PC Engines, it is in other ways less.

and Aldynes, since this is at least an SGFX exclusive, and on top of that, also a very good one.

Ahhhh yes forgot about that 1, Your correct 5 games released and those would be the 3 worth owning. Yes I know they released 2 backward compatable games but most people can't and won't be able to afford those lol.

Great little system if you can find it on the cheap.

Battle Ace, mother f*ckers.

I'd say they're all worth getting - if you're going to spend hundreds of dollars to get a SG, 1941, and Daimakaimura, ya might as well spend the comparative peanuts getting the other two titles too.

No kidding.

Granzort isn't bad. While it is a love it or hate it game, it definitely has some merit. Deserves a chance.

[CPTRAVE]

I would not mind having a SuperGrafx just to have one, but if I did I would definitely would want one of the 5 games to try it out.

Yeah, not really. That guide still confuses people. According to that guide the PC Engine can only play HuCards but the CoreGrafx and CoreGrafx II can play Arcade Card CDs...
