For a good laugh, try Last Alert (so cheesy, but so good).
I am bad and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

Bleh, there are too many to name... your wallet is surely going to die a slow and painful death.

Just for kicks, here are my 5 current favorite U.S. CD releases:

Ys Book I & II
Lords of Thunder
Gate of Thunder
Dungeon Explorer II ($$)
Beyond Shadowgate ($$$!) :shock:

It's a mix of TG-16 & CD





Any suggestions made I'd check out on YT myself.

You have to at least beat the "classics" once before playing the AAAAAA titles...:

Final Zone II
Last Alert
Fighting Street
Ys I & II
Valis II & III
etc... play the plain CDROM2 games before playing teh SCD games.

My copy of Gate of Thunder is the 3-in-1 with Bonk's Adventure & Bonk's Revenge plus the hidden Bomberman (U,R,D,L,II).

A nice assortment on 1 disc.

Congrats on getting a Turbo Duo! Just so you know, it might be a good idea to check the capacitors before you go nuts with the games. U.S. Duos are known to have problems with the caps going bad, causing your system to malfunction. If the caps haven't been changed from the originals, it would probably be a good idea to get it done. There are several users here that I'm sure would be willing to help you. :)
