I figured this would be a fun question for hardcore Turbo gamers.

I plan on eventually posting this at DigitPress too as I suspect it'll be a VERY different answer.

I can't vote in this one since I don't own any of them anymore...

I'm using SGX you modified with SCD module...

I do have a PC Engine Duo-RX but it's much convenient that way since Duo-RX is packed away in the storage room...

My main machine is the US Duo. Every now and then I bust out the PC Engine or the PC-FX, but the Duo gets the most attention. Beyond that, I sometimes set up the Turbografx in the bedroom.

I still need to order my Turbo Express... Sold mine many years ago, like a fool.

The multiregion supergrafx acd wins for sure. Too bad there's no way to modify a duo to play supergrafx games.

I used a Turbografx CD with 3.0 card up until late last year when I got a PC Engine Duo.

I was thinking about bringing back the old Turbo Grafx 16 (and leaving the CD in storage) to play American Hucards. Unfortunately I lost the back piece cover so it looks silly without the CD. Guess I've gotta get a Turbo Booster.

I'm more of a hucard player and I use my Core Grafx II more than my Duo and Duo-R. Its compact design makes it sturdy and cool. For six years It has been thrown into walls, dropped from a flight of stairs, and has scratches and scuff marks to prove it. After all that it still manages to play Galaga 88, Super Star Soldier, Aero Blasters, and Adventure Island.

My TG-CD is the primary gaming unit, though I must say that my PC-Engine (CoreGrafx I) is a close runner-up (there are a lot of fun HuCard games, goddammit!). I tend to play CD's a lot, so the LED track display (and CD control panel) on the TG-CD can't be beat. If only the DUO had that! Then it would be perfect.

I have a DUO (US), but I haven't spent nearly as much time on it. It's in pristine condition and I think I'm afraid to use it too much. It's safely packed in its box.

I know it's ugly to most folks... but the TG-CD is beautfiful in its own way. I think it looks far more interesting than the orginal Genesis + CD-ROM (double-stack)...

I would love to get the orginal PCE + CD-ROM suitcase, or the other configurations (CoreGrafx + SuperCD)... but that will have to wait...

TANGENT: Has anyone ever noticed that the Panasonic REAL FZ-10 3DO console is VERY similar to the DUO (both in size and layout). I only recently got 3DO and was surprised how similar it was.

I don't have my US Duo where I live yet, so until then...Magic Engine....

US Duo here, I use my turbo express quite a bit, but due to its small screen and low battery life it doesn't see as much use as one might think. My regular TG16 just sits in a box since I have no controllers for it and no real use for it since I have the Duo and the Express.

My beloved Duo R modded by D-Lite!

I've been playing a Turbo Duo since it was released, but will switch to RX now that I have one.

Before that my main system was the Turbo CD combo and before that just the TG16.

And in each case, these weren't my main Turbo/PCE machines, but my actual main video game systems.

I'm still on my old Turbo w\CD attachment. Bless my parents for actually getting it for me for Christmas way back when along with Ys III to play on it. The little bugger hasn't given me an ounce of trouble since the day I got it. Too bad they don't seem to be making things last like this anymore.

Yeah, I don't know why so many people report problems with theirs, none of the Turbo systems I've bought brand new have ever given me any problems and I've actually abused them at times.

I've got one too (and an extra boxed, brand new Turbo as a spare). That combination is as solid as can be. CDROM drive is 15 years old and still running like a pro.
