TurboDuo Ad

[DctrEvil17]

greatest day of my life when I got this

[Tch0rT]

I still got a VHS with this promo video and other Turbo Duo/TG16 CD games.

[JediSwayze]

Anyone selling a Turbo Duo?

[jayson4404]

Too bad there were only like 5 games.

[Grandstra]

If Castlevanai Rondo of Blood would have made it to the US, the TurboDuo would've solt much better than it did.

[NEdarkoPWNED]

i can barely hear the lady talk about the turboduo XD and i used to think it was made liek that!

[MorreskiBear]

They should have re-shot the card insertion 0:49 because of bad aim.

[TheWCWite]

When does this come out?

[Metaldood4500]

@TheWCWite

in 1991...

[stewroo]

Thats Three Words

[sadeviant]

...except the original cd-rom system is HALF a megabit for its buffer. way to know your own shit, tti.

also i'm amazed by how generic they manage to make everything look in this commercial. no wonder no one ran out to buy one.

[nostalgicmind0308]

I want one. :(

[MegamanBurst]

is it weird that i want one now?

[Konanarian]

@MegamanBurst No.

[dafranx]

Wait-a-minute, the Turbo Duo is backwards compatible with the TurboGrafx-16? Wow, that's cool. People who own TurboGrafx-16 games like "Bonk's Adventure", "Demon Crush", and "Alien Crush" can play it on the Turbo Duo.

[Firebomber7]

@dafranx

I hope you aren't serious about being surprised by that...

The Turboduo is just a TG-16 and Turbo-CD combo unit.

[Metaldood4500]

@dafranx

Except they were to busy playing their Super Mario World or Sonic the Hedgehog games.

[liquidrtype]

hahaha I still have this on VHS in storage somewhere! Thanks for showing! Ya gotta show the super system card ad too! =)

[See4]

TURBO-FORCE!!! haha

[JerryTerrifying]

I want one SO God damn bad. The Turbo Duo is on the top of my want list.

[delinthe]

What the hell selling the system with 5 of its greatest games!

[JuicyPlayer]

How the Duo didn't sell with an awesome bundle like that is beyond me. I wish companies did that now.

[revolucionzation]

Because it didn't have the games everyone back then wanted like SFII, Mortal Kombat, Mario, Sonic, etc and yes I am fully aware SFII came out for that system but it was never released in the US.

[GameMaster1017]

companies cant do that they usually dont have a cd addon lol

[sadeviant]

@JuicyPlayer most people didn't know those games, and the commercial manages to make them all sound like low budget knockoffs. i mean, the highest selling point they could dream up for gate of thunder is "multiple levels of play"? no mention of killer graphics, cutscenes, an amazing soundtrack that couldn't have been done on a non-cd system? you can't sell something you don't really understand, and the turbo is proof of that.

[drewmiller420]

You had me at "valuable coupon book!" but then you really twist the knife and make it hurt so good with the "savings up to $50.00" I've got a serious video game system boner right now!

[sausagenmuff]

wow TTi Really went all out on those backgrounds , eh?

[ANAHEIM8]

did places like walmart sell these things when it came out?

[miiwii93]

lol listen the guy's voice cracked at around 1:25 - 1:26 I LOLED!!!

[dogeymon83]

Ooooooo!!! SCARIER SCALING!??!!! LOL!

[EricakaJaceII]

What...the...HELL was with the first commercial? Jeez, ever heard of an intergalactic gargle blaster (a.k.a. ever read "The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and know of said fictional drinks)? That gave me the exact same effect as drinking one of those things! XD

[dmuth]

I used to have a VHS tape with this advertisement on it.

The seizure-inducing flashing backgrounds were the best part. :-P

[Fairia]

I still have the TurdoDuo system, still playing well and also the promo VHS tapes they sent out for the launch, one of them that had some of the commercials here

[Edsta713]

How do you download the videos on retrojunk?

[TurboDuo]

It looks like Retro Junk temporarily removed the download feature for their videos. When the download feature comes back, I'll let you know. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[TurboDuo]

Retro Junk brought back their download feature for their videos, so you can download it now.

[Edsta713]

Thanks!

[TurboDuo]

You're welcome.

[rollinss1983]

scarier scaling ftw

[MezaseMaster]

Despite the catchy background beat, that first one is annoying as hell.

[Vysethedetermined]

Awesomeness...

[estlib]

agreed

[rustyshackleford01]
