How much do Kisado adapters normally go for?

Prices seem to be going up on that 3 or 4 in one cd

Yeah, I've noticed a couple going around recently that were BIN for around $94. However, I did forget to mention that Valis II and Final Zone II don't have instructions.  :-" hehe. But I was just concerned really with getting some quick Turbo game action goin' on. hehe. We're talkin' over 10 years away from ANY TG/Duo games. The only action I got was from this site and Youtube.  And that would just make me want it more. lol 

I still need to get Dracula X and Dungeon Explorer II. DE II goes for pretty reasonable prices I've been finding. Though I think there's an DE II auction up right now for BIN $94.  Which is odd when there is another BIN for $29.

That's the difference between a US and a Japanese release.

Ahhhhhh.  :idea: Yes. I think what threw me off is that the cover art is identical. Usually NEC got rid of the cool Japanese cover art and used some of the worst art I have ever been witness to. heh

Thanks for clearing that up.

Is there much Japanese in that version? I think I remember reading somewhere that the cut-scenes are in Japanese but the menus are in English (mostly).

Hey all.  New here. Just bought a Turbo Duo on Ebay after salivating  over them since they came out. haha. I only had a TG 16 back then. Anyway it is "near mint" and came with the original box. The seller was going to throw in Dracula X for $100 but I wanted to put that money towards other games. Either way I would have had regrets.  heh

I bought Gate of Thunder 3..er..4 in one, 3 copies of Y's I and II (one is Jap), Fighting Street, Final Zone II and Valis II for around $60. Not bad I guess. I also nabbed a copy of Nexzr Special Summer Carnival....I LOVE IT!!!    and a few HuCard games: Galaga 90, Raiden and Dungeon Explorer.

Anyways, sorry for the sidetrack there  heh.

I think I actually saw that converter up there on Ebay. I was scratching my head over it for a little while, but I've banned myself from buying anymore stuff for a little while after my little Turbo spending spree. hehe. I'm glad I did too though. I would FAR soon grab a PC Engine or a Coregrafx II before buying something like that. Those converters look pretty fragile.

Anyways, I'm glad there is a nice site like this for us NEC fans.

Congratulations man and that's a kick ass start you have going there!

Thanks man.  It's just fun to chat with fellow Turbo fans. We're a rare breed.

Its totally playable for english players. You're not missing much since its not a story heavy game, although Working Designs did do a good job on the voices. But the Turbo version isn't worth the price if you're not a Turbo/PCE fanatic who spends a ton of money on the junk.

Cool. Fanatic is such a relative term though.  Most of my friends get a kick out of the fact that I shelled out coin for an old console.  hehe. But hey, it keeps me outta trouble during the weekends....sometimes... 

Seriously though, I'm the fanatic that would be satisfied playing the PC Engine Duo version.  The winter is soon coming and I need some fresh adventure games. Though I have yet to really get into Y's I and II. LET THE SNOW FALL!!
