Hello
Brand new to this board, former TG16 owner back in the day. Made the grave mistake as a teen of selling my system and game collection. Looking to get back to these classics. Looking for a Turbo Duo system complete from either US or Canada. Would likely be willing to pickup Turbo Duo Tap, Pad and a game collection also. Please message me if anyone out there is interested in selling their setup.

Welcome to the boards.
A decent condition complete
Turbo Duo could run you anywhere from $250 - $500.
But you can buy one of the 3
PC Engine Duo models for $100 - $150 and they'll still play the same CD games, save you $ and functionality when you go to buy/use an Arcade Card and it'll play all of the hundreds of great PC Engine HuCards.
If you go with a PC Engine Duo and still want to play some of the U.S. HuCards, you can just buy a Turbografx-16 for like $15. Where as if you tried to buy a convertor to play PC Engine HuCards on a Turbo Duo, it'd run you around $150.
PC Engine Duo + TG-16: $115 - $165
Turbo Duo + Convertor: $400 - $650
It doesn't make sense, it's just the way it is.
One last thing you should know, Turbo Duo's and their Japanese equivelant the PC Engine Duo(identical to the Turbo Duo), are both known to suffer from a few problems, mainly overheating, which can pretty much render them unplayable eventually.
The PC Engine Duo
R and PC Engine Duo
RX(both look the same: white) however are known to be much more reliable and don't suffer from the overheating problem.
This is just one more reason why you're better of in the short and long run to buy a PC Engine Duo R or RX instead of a Turbo Duo.
