Product Description
RARE SSYTEM. ALL-TIME CLASSIC. WHAT A DEAL HERE. TURBOGRAFX-16/PC ENGINE VIDEO GAME CONSOLE SYSTEM WITH CONTROLLER AND TG16 RF ADAPTER AND TG16 AC POWER CORD. COMES WITH KEITH COURAGE VIDEO GAME. ALL ITEMS ARE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. HERE IS SOME INFO ON THIS MASTERPEICE. In North America, the TurboGrafx-16 was first released in late August 1989, in New York and Los Angeles. Initially, the TurboGrafx-16 was marketed as a direct competitor to the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and early television ads touted TG-16's superior graphics and sound. These early television ads featured a brief montage of TG-16's launch titles: Blazing Lazers, China Warrior, Vigilante, Alien Crush, etc. Of course, TG-16 was also in direct competition with the Sega Genesis, which had had its own New York/Los Angeles test-market launch two weeks prior, on August 14 (Note: the launch dates can be confusing. Part of the confusion, perhaps, lies in the fact that both TG-16 and the Genesis were first test-marketed in New York and Los Angeles, then given national launches. However, it is known that the Genesis' initial test-launch occurred two weeks prior to TG-16's.)[3] The Genesis launch was accompanied by an ad campaign mocking NEC's claim that the TurboGrafx-16 was the first 16-bit console. Today, the TurboGrafx-16 is mainly known for its much-vaunted shoot 'em ups, its competition with the Sega Genesis, advertising flop Johnny Turbo, and the Bonk games. After the system died, NEC decided to concentrate on the Japanese market, where it had had much more success. In 1994, NEC released a new console, the Japan-only PC-FX, a 32-bit system with a tower-like design; it enjoyed a small but steady stream of games until 1998, when NEC finally abandoned the video games industry. NEC would then partner with former rival Sega, providing a version of its PowerVR 2 Chipset for the Sega Dreamcast.

5.0 out of 5 stars turbografx 16 my favorite system, June 18, 2008

By	mikeg233 "smiley" (indiana usa) - See all my reviews

the turbografx 16 had an 8 bit processor but 2 16 bit graphics chips and 512 colors it was the first system with a cd rom drive the turbo has many killer cd games like dracula x considered the best castlevania ever many of the hucards were near arcade perfect aswell like cadash and ninja spirit bonk was the mascot for the turbo a headbutting caveman game similar to mario although it failed in the us the japanese version(called the pc engine) actually outsold sega and snes nec made games for it until 1999! the turbo is a sleek unit even smaller than the new playstation 2s the controller feels like a nes controller but built much nicer the hucards are like credit cards but they feel solid this system rocks it has near arcade perfect ports of legendary axe ninja spirit cadash it has tons of shooters the bonk series cd games like valis 1-4 exile etc this is well worth getting and only will become more collectable
