The only pre-2000 consoles I have are the Atari 7800 and Jaguar. If I added another, I'd want it to be a TurboGrafX. Maybe it's because I only knew a few people that owned one, and the fact that I was kind of a weeb in high school, I always found the TG intriguing.
I had a Duo in 1993-1995; I was gutted when it was decided to pull North American support and phase out with the one game per month plan for 1994 and then nothing more. My top ten would look like this: Lords of Thunder Gate of Thunder Dungeon Explorer 2 Ys Book 1 and 2 Dynastic Hero Spriggan Ys IV The Dawn of Ys Macross 2036 Image Fight II Star Parodier I know that Castlevania would be at the top of the list for many people, and for good reason, but I honestly didn't get around to it back then or even now. I've spent plenty of time with repeat plays on Super Castlevania IV and Aria of Sorrow to name a couple but others I have not gotten to yet. I had the second Exile game, some good cutscenes (and some cheesy ones courtesy of Working Designs) but I never understood why it was so hard. I made it to the second to the last boss (Genie) after grinding through that game and it was too much trouble for what it was worth. Then I find out much later in life that Working Designs made adjustments and the game is actually more player friendly as it was originally designed. Fortunately now there is a restoration patch that undoes the questionable changes that WD made so it can be enjoyed in english properly in the present; would have been nice to play through it that way back then. Oh well I got it on clearance for fifteen bucks.
Turbo CD is a blast, and these were all fun recommendations. I'm not exactly sure on the order, but my top ten are probably: Gradius II Gate of Thunder Castlevania Dracula X Ys Books 1 & 2 Legend of Xanadu II Last Alert Dowtown Nekketsu Koushin Kyoku Sorejuke Daiundoukai R-Type Complete CD Macross 2036 Lords of Thunder I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff. I'd put Exile there, but mine is sealed because I played the Sega Genesis version instead. Same with Cosmic Fantasy 2. Still haven't opened that one. Saving it for a rainy day.
I've recently started playing Turbografx 16 and CD games via the Ares emulator and having a lot of fun. It may not have a lot the same effects as the Mega Drive or SNES but considering it came out before either of those it was definitely way ahead of its time and it's a shame that it didn't do as well in the rest of the world as it did in Japan.
@@SecondOpinionGames1 Thank you for your reply, I read a few years ago about owners having to recap them more than once. I purchased one of those retro consoles that have HUCard and CD games on it that play well, giving my TurboDuo a break :)
Awesome video, I didn't know there were so many great titles for this console! Just a quick note though; it sounds like the gameplay audio recording might have been done in mono rather than stereo, it only came through on my left speaker. I only noticed this because I have done the same thing when recording/editing videos, then realized when I switched over to another device that I had failed to double check with a pair of headphones while editing 😅 I'm not sure what video editor you use, but you should be able to clone the mono channel to stereo for both the left and right sides. I use DaVinci resolve and it can be done from the audio properties for each clip. Random thing, but I hope that mentioning it helps out! Side note; I liked the concept you had of trying out 10 random games on a system, maybe you could do that again and then throw your own commentary/experiences with the games? They don't even have to be good per se, I'd just enjoy hearing your thoughts on them! ✌️😁
I’ll go back to the Radom game idea. Thanks. As for the duo. It might be my system. I had to re cap it three times now. Compositors at the time were crap.
@@SecondOpinionGames1 how odd, how did it sound on your TV? Either way, I hope it turns out to be an easy fix! I've ran into the same audio issues when using an external audio interface for my microphones, two different capture cards (generic HDMI and a Pinnacle Dazzle for composite), and when generating text-to-speech audio clips. I ALWAYS forget to double check that in OBS when recording and in my video editor, so I usually end up with audio blaring out the left side, hence my assumption when I heard this audio lol. Now I'm curious though, what is your capture setup for the system? I'm trying to come up with a better solution than my very jerry-rigged setup, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Really the pack in game Gate of Thunder over Lords of Thunder which is also good but my favorite is Vasteel. It’s a turn based strategy mech game that goes into hand to hand arcade combat mode using fists, bullets, lasers & rockets etc when you land on an occupied space. Incredible single player campaign and even better in multiplayer. Beyond Shadowgate is another great game, action, adventure type
I always thought the turbo graphics 16 was so cool but i never got to own one. Now it runs on my phone so this is a great list to make sure i have all the good games i lissed out on
Cool picks, unique. Rondo is a total masterpiece. Best game on the Turbo Grafx. 🦎🦎

Me too. I love those failed consoles 😀

The second exile is trash. The other games on the list are great. I haven’t played macross 2036 yet 🤔

Exile is much better on the turbo 😀
Dude, great video! The TurboGrafX has always been a bit of a black whole in my knowledge. So cool to see some good games for it.

My Turbo Duo is one of my most coveted game systems. Still works perfectly.
Mine too but it was recapped twice

@@doitallYT I just have a elgoto and a hdmi splitter. Also the highest quality A/V to HDMI converter I can afford.
Monster Lair was always one of my favs. I usually played it with the infinite continue code in the High Score and played to the end.
I never finished it. But still love to play every few months 😀🙏

I have them all. I even got a sealed military madness. Kinda like Vasteel. 😊
I always thought the turbo graphics 16 was so cool but i never got to own one. Now it runs on my phone so this is a great list to make sure i have all the good games i lissed out on
I see some good games in the comments too. 🙏
I just stared playing rondo of blood today. It’s awesome but it’s tough in my opinion
It gets easier the more you play and learn the best sub weapon for each stage 😀
Rondo of Blood is so much better than Dracula X / Vampire's Kiss on Super NES. My second favourite game is Lords of Thunder.
I'm still waiting for my TurboGrafx 16 CD console to be RGB modded
Sick. Good video
Let's fuckin GO
kaze kiri ninja
It’s a fun game 😀
