Was there a PAL turbografx 16/PCE released in Europe?
« on: September 05, 2015, 09:18:21 PM »
I'm a little confused about this I see 'PAL' turbografx consoles on eBay and stuff while they say there was no PAL TG16/PCE so I want to ask the pros! If there is a PAL TG16/PCE are there any exclusive PAL games? Thanks for your help!

Yes there is the PAL TurboGrafx that exists but was never actually released or if it was it was only in extremely limited quantities. It appears a load of them were found in a warehouse somewhere as they started to appear on UK eBay a few years back.

Cosmetically they are grey coloured and are branded simply TurboGrafx not TurboGrafx 16.
The pack in game they come with is Blazing Lazers.

There are no PAL TurboGrafx games, the PAL console plays USA TurboGrafx 16 games.

That sounds like a reasonable price, it's generally around what they have been selling for.

Ok cool, the only thing that I see is different is the blue/red line instead of a U.S. TG16 logos colors, so should I buy it?

Yeah that sounds like a PAL TurboGrafx, if for whatever reason you want a PAL console then the price sounds fair.

No there was no PAL TurboGrafx CD released. Though I think there was a thread on here recently about getting a CD unit to work with the PAL system.

I noticed some PAL TG16s for sale here http://www.robwebb1.plus.com/pce/pce.htm I've never used this store so I can't vouch if they're any good or not.

I have used rob webb's store a few times no problems. I got mine from there couple years ago for £70. Inflation I guess. I sold mine to pay towards a PCE CD setup but I do miss it a bit. The grey is very nice looking.

Swirl, please keep in mind the PAL Turbob plays all games at slower speed.

There's a modifcation needed to let it play at original speed.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no

A CD unit works with the PAL Turbo. You don't need to do anything to make it functional.
If you ask me at what speed those games play, though, then that's a whole other story.

I will but my TV is a pal 50hrz so that isn't a problem and I'm used to 50hrz games (the Core II was far to fast for me I almost got sick after playing 4 hours, wow it never overheats? )
