About
The first CD based console to come out in the US, it was an expansion unit for the Turbo Grafx 16. The retail Price was $399 and adopters were few. Those that did discovered the world of FMV, and CD quality music, often used to excellent effect (see Ys I& II for example). Many of the games on early CD format did not augment game play so much as enhancing sound and video, usually for enhancing the game’s story. The new CD format saw the introduction of some great titles, such as Exile, Ys, Valis, Dungeon Explorer II, and Cosmic Fantasy. It can also play Japanese PC Engine CD games! The CD unit could be upgraded with a system card 3.0 to play later enhanced Turbo Duo games. Considered more rare than the TG system itself due to low sales and distribution.
