How old is your Turbo/Duo?
« on: December 18, 2007, 11:41:21 AM »
So how old is your machine?

We were discussing in another thread about the age of duos; I was thus inspired to make this poll.

Only Duos have dates on the bottom.

That said, my US Duo was manufactured in October 1992.

Considering it didn't come out until 1993, you must have a prototype.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Why is THIS particular thread stickied?  I don't think it's bad enough to put up top in the "ignore pile".

Yeah, right.  Spin us another yarn, you foolish tool.

Mine was born in October 1992, so I'm cool like nat.  Well, maybe just my Duo is.

Maybe our Duos rolled off the assembly line together. Perhaps they are long lost brothers, reunited after 15 years through the power of this forum.

March 1993. I wonder if that was the last month they were made for the US or just regular Duo systems all together. D-lite can probably give the most likely answer on this one.
