About this product

Product Information

The NEC TurboGrafx-16, also known as the PC Engine in Japan and France, is a video game console that was released by NEC and Hudson Soft in 1989. It was the first console to be able to read game data off of a CD attachment. The TurboGrafx-16 could also read game data off of special HuCards. The primary focus of the NEC TurboGrafx-16 console was to enable the release of Hudsonsoft homeports of their popular arcade titles. However, there were many original titles released as well, most notably the pack-in games "Bonk" and "Blazing Lazers." The NEC TurboGrafx-16 is built around a Hudson Soft HuC6280 8-bit microprocessor operating at 1.79 MHz for HuCard games and 7.16 MHz for CD-based games. It is supplemented by a 16-bit graphics processor and video encoder chip along with 8 KB of work RAM and 64 KB of video RAM. This enables the TurboGrafx-16 to display a total of 512 colors, with up to 482 on screen at any point in time. The TurboGrafx-16 has a maximum resolution of 565x242 pixels, which is transmitted over RCA plug cables in NTSC format. The system displays up to 64 on-screen sprites at a time, with 16 sprite pixels per scan line, for up to 256 pixels per sprite. Because it is able to display up to 15 colors per sprite, the system produces some impressive graphics. Audio is processed through the HuC6280A CPU, and the system is capable of six-wavetable synthesis, giving the system six voices simultaneously. Since the system does not have region protection for CD-based games, any such titles are played on any system. The system has a single controller port that is expandable to up to six controllers. Its controller has a D-pad, start button, select button, and two action buttons. Since the PC Engine has the same system architecture as the later Turbo Duo, it can play all Turbo Duo games via the CD attachment. Some games make use of both the PC Engine CD reader and HuCard to provide superior sound or video cut scenes.

Great Seller. Controller arrived quickly, and well packaged. Controller was new in as described condition. Controller works great, a few buttons are stiff, but should get better over time. The only disappointment was the seller listed as OBO, and did not accept any offers, or even counter offer to the offer I made.

I'm very happy with my purchase! It was shipped immediately and arrived 2 days sooner than the original estimated day, it was all nicely packed to prevent damage with bubble wrap. Best of all, it works and looks better than advertised! Highly recommend this seller!

    Great underrated and overlooked retro console.

    The Turbografx 16 has an 8-bit main processor and a 16-bit graphics processor. This gives the Turbografx 16 games a distinctive look and feel. Think somewhere between NES and SNES. Sidescrolling platforming games are bright and colorful, and the system excels in the shooter genre. Games like Blazing Lazers look and play wonderfully, and with the 16-bit graphics processor, there is none of the classis NES "slowdown" when there are a lot of sprites on the screen. The controller also has built in adjustable turbo, which is actually required at different times in certain games. A great hidden gem of a classic console.

  • Awesome product. Amazing added features, integrated flawlessly. Best

    I rarely use superlatives, but this time I have to make an exception. This is by far the best purchase I had on ebay and this console, TurboGrafx-16 is easily my most valuable item. But this is not just regular TurboGrafx console, this is highly customized version that in many ways improved on original hardware. And what most amazed me was that it was flawlessly done and not some cut and past hack job. No, this is factory quality work, done by very skillful hands. At first, I inspected unit as whole and it looked like new. I couldn't discover any significant wear or scratches or anything that could hint on any damage. It was as I bought it new. Everything is cleaned and polished and it just looks great. What completely blew me away was custom work done on the console. It has composite ...

  • 1989 in a box.

    By the time I owned one of these in the early 90s, it was already discontinued and games were scarce. Now with the World Wide Web, it’s game on for the TG-16! Games are reasonably priced and eBay is rife with them. Opening the box with its hot orange, pink and black color scheme just feels like the late 80s...it’s a 16 bit-ish console with almost an entire library of exclusives lost in time and TG-16 only arcade ports of the time. If you collect late 80s video games and consoles, this is a must. Don’t think about it, BUY it.

  • Keep the system in its original state!

    This system is not only a rarity as well as a gem! I have noticed that several merchants are "modding" the original RF connection to 3 way RCA hookups. I DO NOT recommend this as it depletes the originality of the vintage system. To avoid a snowy picture purchase a "Gold Coax Cable" along with an "RF Adapter" both item are roughly about a $9 investment. Thus you receive a crystal clear picture if not BETTER than the RCA modded systems. It also enables you to keep the system in its original state.

  • BEST SURPRISE RETRO SYSTEM EVER MADE- N E C LINE OF SYSTEMS RUNNING STRONG SINCE 1990'S !

    *********Own a piece of video game console history & collect this system which has become rare. All UNITS come from personal collections & have been tested before being advertised ************ Collectability: B-. For fans on the 16-bit era, the T-16 is a fun system to collect for. In general, the games for both systems tend to be easy to play and have an appealing arcade quality. In addition, most of the titles were not released on other consoles. A Turbografx-16 console is easy and cheap to acquire, but the Turbo Duo or Japanese PC ENGINE DUO can be an alternate system to collect. Complete games tend to START around the $20 price mark. Innovations: 16-bit graphics processor, CD attachment, multi-player tap accessory, turbo control switches built-into control which NINTENDO & SEGA did ...
