Tips for getting into the Turbografx/Turboduo

[celerystalker]

I don't know if I'd say AES territory, some of those games are fucking insane. I do have a decent amount of disposable income right now (tbh, I got a second job just to add to my collection while being able to put my other paycheck towards more important stuff). I've been looking thru eBay and it seems a PC-Engine Duo would be a good starting point.

Also, to those who said emulate: lolno. I've spent way too much money on my current collection to just start emulating other consoles. TG16 stuff is pretty damn expensive, but we're not taliing about a $1000 for the system, or $1000s of dollars for one game. I can do a $300 system and a few $100-$200 games. It'll take a lot of time, but it's doable for me at this point in my life.

I dunno. With games like Sapphire, Renny Blaster, Fausette Armor, Magical Chase, Beyond Shadowgate, Terraforming, etc., you really are in AES territory. They both get pretty crazy these days. But that's really not the point; just a friendly warning about cost. If you're up for it, a lot of my favorite games are on the Turbo/PCE and the AES, and if you have the means, there are some truly great games to play. Once you take the plunge, I'd be happy to post a bunch of games that give great bang for the buck. Also, I think I already posted this, but read www.thebrothersduomazov.com and videogameden.com (Ikermel posts here, even. They have tons of great reviews and screenshots.

Also, just do yourself a favor and pick up brand new sealed copies of Exile and Cosmic Fantasy 2 for US CD while they're still pretty available at good prices on Amazon or ebay.
