Of course not.

Don't own one. I have a NintendoDS - mainly because it plays games you can't play on another system. I'd rather play my turbo games on the big screen:)

I had three until today. I voted for GT, since my main TurboExpress is region modded. I also just bought, fixed, region modded and sold another Express to my coworker. I also have another GT which with bad audio circuit caps which i use to "experiment" on. Im going to put a larger screen in it once i finish figuring out the composite out circuit.

I've had a TurboExpress & TurboVision for years, but almost never use them. I still love 'em though.

I have PC Engine GT, which by the way plays sound quieter and quieter every time I play it, plus the screen doesn't look so hot any more, or am I just spoiled by more recent technology?

I also have a Duo Monitor, plus batteries for the monitor and batteries for a PCE Duo, so technically I could make my Duo portable, but that would be way too much work don't you think?

I'll still consider it a portable! Afterall, that's what the monitor was designed for

No portable TGs or PCEs of any kind...just a GBA.

Although...does having emulators on my laptop count?

guyjin · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2006, 08:34:15 AM »

in retrospect, I probably should have considered portable emulation... oh well, too late now :oops:

I had a Turbo Express, but I realized that I never used the thing and so I sold it to some other guy that almost certainly never uses the thing either.

Amazing for its time, but really its a huge battery sucking vampire with a tiny screen.

I have a DS, an NGP, a GBA SP, and a Swan Crystal, and all of them are better for my portable gaming needs.

If you get yourself some 2500mah+ nimh batteries, you can get some decent battery life out of the GT or Express. I usually get about 2.5 hours or more. Also, an LED mod for the screen to replace the power sucking bulb will tripple battery life ive been told.

I use mine all the time, but usually at home. I take it to work once in a while also.

The person who made the poll didn't allow for TurboExpress + PCE GT. I own both.

I still play them because:
1) I got into HuCards again
2) They are more convenient than console + television (the same reason I prefer laptop over desktop when it comes to computers).

Of course, once I get back into NES/Famicom (I work in cycles), the TE and GT will go back into storage.

Laptops, boo.
