Think deeply and then use the search option.

All TurboExpress/PCE GT, TurboDuo and (black/grey) PC Engine Duo systems need to be recapped.

REad on for the next 30 pages or so, there you have all the info you need for a start:

Instead of reading online, you can also buy the book. Honestly I don´t think it´s work 80 bucks....informative though anyway.

Welcome to the forums, Warpig.
1) be a Turbo gamer, not a collector. Have more fun playing games than buying them.
2) familiarize yourself with SuperPlay's incredible list of Useful Web Links

3) support and play homebrew and independent releases.

Have fun!

Even Thinking Rabbit couldn't help itself... after years of lackluster ports of Sokoban to the Famicom/Disk System they decided to obey once and for all.
Seriously go play it. Sokoban (Boxyboy, Pushman, Shove it, Storehouse Keepers or whatever) is a seriously underrated puzzle game in my opinion. Its so good I'm doing my own version of it for the NES, but with several differences

For the most part, Vest and B.T. have it covered (add LA pacs to the re-cap list).  The only other advice I can give is to love the Göẗzëndïënër!

Turbo hardware is a waste of money as far as playing games is concerned. You should plan on getting a PC Engine Duo R/RX for the most value. You might as well get a region mod if you have a video mod done, but it's still cheaper to just buy a PCE Duo + a TG-16 to play N.A. Turbochips than it is to buy a Turbo CD or TurboDuo setup.

There are only a few TurboChip games worth playing in English and only one must-play exclusive.

I'd still recomnend buying a Turbo Everdrive before any HuCards. Try them first and then buy the ones you care about.

Just curious, which one is that?

Also yeah, the Everdrive is awesome... one came bundled with my Duo-R, and I can't imagine living without it now.

ORDER OF THE GRIFFON... FTW!

Ah, cool... I have that one, and it is indeed good. Didn't know it was a U.S. exclusive, though.

Thank you, sir.

If you have a CD based system play Ys Book I & II.

Probably stating the obvious here, but CD based games have no region lock out, but HuCards do.

If you have a Duo, Duo-R, or Duo-RX system you will need the Arcade Card Duo to play ACD games, and regular CD-ROM Units need the Arcade Card Pro.

If you have a CD based system play Ys Book I & II.
