Got these when I went to Texas last month. I thought I won Retropalooza until the Taco Shirt Affair (tm).

It should run on anything over 7v and under 12v
On the Turboexpress I tap either of the video capacitors for power.

Ha, for about half of what that fool at Palooza was asking... which isn't saying much.
I thought the same thing when you got your Express. Pretty sure I want one now. I wanna see that thing in all it's glory once it's re-capped.

Congrats on the rondo Teddy, probably one of the best games to play around Halloween! Glad you were able to scoop.

Thanks G. I've been procrastinating a little over a year now. Was bitching at Whisp back then that "I didn't want to spend $75 bux on a $50 game." Oops, a little late to the party.

Great games, mainly. Play Blazing Lazers (Gunhed in PC Engine) or Soldier Blade and you'll fall in love. It's a shoot'em ups machine. Very good platformers too, that Rondo is glory.

To clarify the earlier comment, you need to look at the JP library for the entire PC Engine "experience". The US got a a few games and since the CDs are region free you can play JP CD games on a Turbo Duo and there are tons of amazing ones that never made it over (Dracula X, Nexzr, Spriggan, etc.) and if you can get it switched, you can even play JP hucards. If you like shmups, it's a must have system.

It's good enough that even if it was the most expensive game on the system, the price would be entirely justifiable. At the current price (while not cheap), there is no excuse not to get it.

haha last year my friend was living in Japan and he found me a PC Engine briefcase setup with working CD unit and it came with Dracula X for all for...... about $100. Still deals there to be found if you look out in the countryside.

I might do that, the ones you posted the other day look awesome. My TE is minty fresh, to be honest I'm a little nervous about trying to mod it. The GG I didn't care, if I screwed it up I can buy another for $20 or so, if I mess up a TE I'll probably never buy another one.
