The CGII does look quite nice all snuggled up to the white PCECD. I'm standing my ground on the Turbo Duo over the PCE Duo. heh

Thanks for the pics. ^^

Awack, if you want to TRULY win, put a TurboGrafx CD player in the interface unit with that CoreGrafx.  That way you get pure blackness with only a bit of white trim, just like Obama!

me all the purples as well. does someone remember the DUO with the green button/switch set?

The font used for the US Duo kicks butt all over the Japanese font. I could respect the Japanese version if it at least used the same font... but as it is I would probably have a PC-Engine shuttle than a purple  Japanese Duo

You know, I was thinking the same thing too.  The PCE Duo font is kinda... ..."stale" might be the right word.

Now I wouldn't go that far!  The Shuttle definitely seems like a kiddy toy compared to rest of the PCE/Turbo consoles (considering that was its target market!)

Anyway, this is just buncha nitpicking.  Not too big of a deal either way.  Though I prefer the look of the Turbo Duo, my setup's the PCE Duo, and I can live with the gay trim colors and the stale font.

I thought all PCE Duos had the turquoise/light green power switch?  I don't think I've seen that color on the open lid button, though.

Termis, if you peek at vestcoat's thread on the sound capabilities of various PC-Engine systems you may want to reconsider. Seems the Shuttle may be able to kick out a bit more bass than the Duo!!

For the green button, could you be thinking of the Wondermega/JVC X'eye?  I never realized how similar they looked until I just saw the Japanese PC Engine Duo.
