I used to own a TG16, Turbo Express, Core Grafx II, PC-Engine GT, and Duo-R.

I still have a brandnew HOP-M3 laser which I'm saving when I buy a Duo-R/RX again someday.

I own a TurboGrafx 16 with the CD attachment, a Turbo Express, a PC-FX and a SuperGrafx. I'm keeping an eye out for a Super CD-ROM drive as well.

I've got a US Duo with a diving board converter and Arcade Card Duo, and a TurboExpress.

Sinistron, I've got 2 Avenue Pad 6's and 3 Duo pads. Just enough for 2 player fighting games and 5 player action in other games. Although, I don't have any backup controllers in case one goes down in action...

TurboDuo, TurboExpress, and emulation (M.E. and M.E.FX) is how I roll.  Someday, I'll add a PC-FX to the mix.

I started with a US Duo in '92 and bought an Express in '99. I eventually sold the Express because it just isn't something that I'd actually use (battery hog, crap screen, won't play CDs, etc).

Someone gave me a broken Core Grafx in 2002 (guessing) and I fixed that up. Last year I traded it to a guy here for an original PCE which I'll be converting to s-video soon (hopefully).

I've always wanted the Duo R since the ads in PCE magazine first showed it but they were too expensive when new ($400 or so). In 2006 I bought a broken one for $60 and fixed it. I sold the US Duo last year figuring I didn't need two Duos, especially one that's worth money. Since then I've installed D-Lite's region hack IC, and a blue LED.

So now, Duo R and OG PC Engine.

I voted-

I have a TurboGrafx-16 and/or its variants of the TurboDuo and Turbo Express.
I have a PC Engine and/or its variants including PC Engine Duo and Core Grafx.
Practically all of them!


As far as exposure goes, I got my first TG-16 within a year after it came out and I picked up the Turbo Express and Duo much sooner after they were released.

After losing $500 to a mail order company(Game Train?) advertised in EGM for a Turbo CD with Ys I & II when I was 13/14 years old, I didn't manage to finally get a Turbo CD until (I think) a year later, which would've been 1990/'91. While waiting for the Turbo CD to arrive at Radio Shack, I picked up Golden Axe and Super Darius locally and Side Arms Special not long after the Turbo CD finally arrived. So that was the beginning of my importing.

I didn't get a Kisado until SFIICE came out. But even then I didn't import HuCards. I picked up Vigilante and F1 Pilot during a trip to Vancouver a few years before I moved there. But it wasn't until I moved to the big city that I started to find PC Engine hardware and HuCards. But I had been importing CD games shortly after the Duo came out, including: Snatcher, Kabukiden, Ys IV, Neo Nectaris, Monster Maker, Cosmic Fantasy 2 U.S. and Exile U.S..

I first got a TG-16 the Christmas they came out here in North America. I then sold it with all my games three or four years later. :( Then, just last summer I decided to make my move and I bought a US Turbo Duo. It, of course, had the sound issue.  As of now it's on its way to nat to get repaired and modded with the region switch, svideo, A/V ports.  :dance:

I just recently bought a TG-16 lot that came with the system, controller, and Parasol Stars. My brother also found at his place packed away in boxes a TurboPad and a TurboTap from back in the day. Maybe my TurboStick will pop up as well...well, you know what I mean.  :P  :-"

A Supergrafx will have to be purchased at some point, but I'll wait until I get my PCE/TG collection built up some more.

I know the shop Raven games I used to buy stuff from there years ago but they pretty expensive now..  that looks like someone has hooked the core grafx up to jamma adaptor board.  £99 is about $200 usd tho....

Three pc engines (Two white, one doesn't work) and one core grafx.

I had a Turbografx-16 many years ago but sadly i left it behind when i moved to Michigan.

Last year i finally picked up another T-16 but i decided i wanted a DUO-R so i sold my T-16 and games and this year i finally had a chance to pick one up.

So now am a proud DUO-R owner and loving it. :D
