Any good Turbo Graphix 16/PC Engine Sites?

Recommended Posts

I'm just getting into Turbo Graphix 16 emulation on my PSP and I was looking for a site like this at least somewhat. Mainly I want to know what are some of the better games and I want to know what's the layout is of the 6 button controller.

The 6-button pad is a double-3 layout, like the Genesis 6-button and Saturn pads(or like the Capcom fighter arcades).

 

As for the best games...

Rondo of Blood is darn good.

It's not as big or as nice as this site but there is a forum with helpful people who know a lot about these systems at www.pcenginefx.com . Some other good sites for game reviews and turbo grafx information are:

 

www.turbo2k.com

 

www.turbografx.net

 

www.turbografx-16.com (lots of cheats and codes for games)

 

www.pcenginebible.roarvgm.com (this site has a list of most american and japanese pcengine/turbografx releases and reviews for some of them)

 

www.videogamecritic.net (not about these systems in particular but has a nice section of turbografx reviews)

Thank's for the links. It'll take me some time to get through all that but I did see some good stuff. BTW I managed to find a pic of a 6 button controller. I Googled "Turboduo". It's top row of buttons is backward from the Sega controllers and that's what was messing me up.

Wow that's a nice controller, never had one of those before, with 6 turbo switches. Is that for the regular duo or the pc engine one? And i'm glad the links helped you out. I'm always looking for turbo stuff online too.

By the way if you're liking those games on your psp you should look into getting a regular American turbo system. They seem to be pretty cheap now($30-$40). I started playing turbo stuff on my psp too and while it's a nice substitute for a turbo express it still made want to play those games on my system. Though it is a nice way to play games like Magical Chase which I can't afford.

Whoa, I don't remember the Turbografx-16's six button controller looking like that at all! The controller pictured here looks like it would be comfortable to hold. The one I saw had all the ergonomics of a brick.

That's the 6-Button Avenue Pad.

 

Another good TG16/PCE site is:

Not to toot my own horn too much but I think you may enjoy my website - www.TurboGrafx-16.com

 

I have an entire database of game cheats (Tricknology) extensive history on the TurboGrafx systems, ebay resources, Turbo Library, scans of TurboGrafx advertisments, Instructions, Documentation, a Help page and just about everything else you could imagine. I always like to hear feedback too.

 

You may also enjoy our sister site - www.Pcenginefx.com - extensive reviews and background on the Japanese PC Engine systems including PC-FX and Hudson Soft.

Justin

That's actually a pic of the pad that came with the DuoRX.

The standard avenue pad 6 was shaped the same basically, but only had turbo switches for buttons I and II.

Yes, that was the pad that shipped in japan with the RX, but it is better known as the standard controller for the PC-FX, the 32-Bit followup to the Duo.

Better known? I thoguht the PCFX was an unparalleled disaster.

Did NEC only make 5 DuoRXes or something?
