ANOTHER AWESOME FIND IN OUR WAREHOUSE

Wow, we're sure glad we started cleaning up the warehouse. On top of finding two Factory Sealed NEC TurboExpress Handheld Systems we have now found 2 Factory Sealed NEC TurboDuo Consoles.

Everytime we open up another box of NEC video game goodness from the 90's are boss's smile lights up the room. Seems he had quite the video game love affair at the time with everything NEC.

Anyway, here's the pic of the two TurboDuo consoles. If we can ever pry these bad boys from our boss's hands we'll list them on ebay or sell them on our website.

TurboDuo:

The TurboDuo was a video game console released in the United States on October 10, 1992 at a pirce point of $299.99. The TurboDuo is essentially a combination of TurboGrafx-16 and TurboGrafx-CD hardware, plus the Super System BIOS + extra 192k RAM built-in to the motherboard. The TurboDuo was capable of playing standard audio CDs, CD+Gs, TurboGrafx TurboChips, Japanese and North American CD-ROM² (TurboGrafx-CD) and Super CD-ROM² titles.

OUR LONG LOST VIDEO GAME TREASURES FOUND

We have begun searching our warehouse and opening tons of sealed boxes we've had tucked away for years. It seems we've stumbled upon our own hidden treasure trove of video game goodness.

Sure brings us down memory lane! We'll be posting pics of some of the more interesting finds on our blog over the next few weeks. I have a feeling most of these items will eventually find their way onto Ebay or our website for sale.

Here is a pic of two Brand New Factory Sealed TurboExpress Handheld Systems still in the original shipping box. Rumours are swirling we may find a few more of these as we continue searching.

TurboExpress:

The TurboExpress or PC Engine GT (Game Tank) in Japan was a portable version of the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine (video game console), released by NEC in 1990. It was the most advanced handheld of its time and could play all the TurboGrafx-16's games (which were on a small, credit-card sized media called HuCards). Due to the high price tag it was labeled as the Rolls Royce of handhelds!
