Classic Game Room - PC-ENGINE TURBO DUO console review

Follow CGR at:

Classic Game Room reviews the NEC PC-ENGINE TURBO DUO video game console from 1991. The PC-Engine Duo plays standard PC-Engine Hu Cards and Super CD-Rom games, giving you two video game systems in one! Known as the TurboGrafx-CD in the West, this remarkable game system is similar to the Sega Genesis and Sega-CD attachment except there's even more space ship shooters available!!!

Hey Mark! I'm really happy that you decided to move the channel back here on YouTube. I've been subscribed to the channel for two years now and I just wanted to say that I always look forward for reviews of video games, consoles, toys and sometimes bananas to start my day! Keep up this awesome content. I really enjoy this channel so much!

Making the PC Engine itself into a playable character was genius.

Awesome review! Love the TurboDuo!

I noticed your loaner PCE Duo had an LED mod on the CD tray. Looks great! :)

Of all the consoles I've never owned, I always wanted this one the most. This would look awesome sitting next to a JVC X'Eye.

OMG I can't believe it. You actually managed to insert the cartrdige/card in the proper console for once.

The Turbo Graffix was a 16-bit console, around the mid/end of the NES cycle.

I think the turbo cd had someslight improvements like extra ram and multi scrolling background, wich was only possible on the original system trough ram expansion and DMA acces.

That looks pretty sweet, and the music and sound fx sound great too.  I wonder why these weren't more popular.

Man these videos are great. Literally the most zen thing on youtube. Also you remind me of david rees.

[SonofMrPeanut]

This may be my favorite background music CGR has used.

the Characters in Star Parotia remind me of BomberMan

I always like his reviews.. he reminds of that back to the future era... Even thou now we look back at that time with that wannabe future technologies. They are still cool. Like back to future series..you still watch it. He brings back that time. Thumbs up buddy. I hope you continue and earn good money doing this.

Can anybody recommend a good AV switcher for the PC Engine Duo? For games with composite video I plug them into a switcher so that I can switch between them. For whatever reason, the PC Engine Duo won't cooperate with the switcher. There ia always noise in the video when I connect it into a switcher. It only looks clean when plugged directly into the AV ports on my DVD recorder or HDMI adapter.

My Taiwanese bro had these in new zealand in the 90s no one had one was amazing to play save me so much money instead of arcades

[SuperDerek]

Man, that's one hell of a donation. PC Engine Duo? That's at least a $500 console right there. At least.

Does this mean we're going to get a proper review of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood?

you could do the voice overs on 'The Price is Right'! You really have a knack for describing products.
