I have seen items unearthed from 2,000 year old latrines that looked better than that awful paint job.

Fake Ys is fake. Only a moron would think this cd-r copy was real...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/YS-BOOK-I-II-1-2-Ys-Turbografx-Turbo-Duo-CD-Game-DISC-ONLY-/171850881328?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item28031c5930




Didn't know Y's I and II came with Turbo Duo label? Mine says TurboGrafx 16 and I imagine PC Engine on Japanese disc. But yeah the seller is an idiot who obviously never burned a CD or he's a shitty scammer.  I hope the seller also knows TG-16 and PCE CD system (pre-Duo that is) have a really terrible time reading CD-Rs.

The pack-in discs for NA DUO =  new pressing of Ys I & II.

Although the Duo version of Ys I & II is supposed to be common knowledge, what is crooked is gougers selling it as either disc-only or disc + manusl and calling it "complete". It's an incomplete pack-in version of a complete game. It's a variant at best and not a unique version. If TTi gave away extra discs in sleeves, they wouldn't be complete either. The only way the Duo Ys I & II would be complete, if you are going to count it as a unique version, is if it comes with a fully complete TurboDuo package with all the software and outer box sleeve.

Its a cd-r made to look like the Duo version. Look at the "paint" in the center where the mintmark should be. Also, the silver on top is not natural from a pressed disc. Its some flat non reflective thing that was painted or inked on a paper label. Also the bottom of the disc shows its a long strategy cd-r.
