Rare game hardware review: NEC PC ENGINE DUO-RX

[RXI83]

It looks like a cheap Lexmark printer, just turn the flap up and throw in some paper!

[Arkstrikle]

1994 i had a pc far superior

[MrBarrelson]

The Japanese are spoiled when it comes to special electronics :)

[mrkotfw]

Where are the saves stored for CD games?

[bogercs]

16 is the right age for a game console 32 is a mature age.

[ASSEMblerEX]

@fuck192ass Looks at your nickname...

[zandi214]

the nes advantage had turbo

[ATARI800XLfan]

Nice Video. I was wondering is it worth getting the PC engine DUO-R. I have found one on auction that is about 55 dollars so far. What do you think, he is the listing. Has had a new laser put in.

[richkawaiipikachu]

What on earth is the song?

[ASSEMblerEX]

@richkawaiipikachu Glove on fight

[richkawaiipikachu]

@ASSEMblerEX Thanks. Just I found the song to be Weird & cute at the same time but still interesting

[TioRed2]

someone knows the name of the background? I think it's cool xD

[nissan300bhp]

i have one of these rx, and a normal pc duo, a shuttle and pc fx

[crgrindele]

Nope, no converter needed to use Japanese power supplies in the U.S.

[maleficus1000]

hey great video, im expecting mine tomorrow from japan did u need a voltage converter to play it here in america?

[storerflamingo]

great box wish i had one

[vorpalspaz]

a beautiful box? I wish my wife did

[masonsushi]

nice review. I am looking to get one of these and get it region modded for US HU cards. Just got to find a loose one in good shape at a fair price.

[bulletproof2353]

i think that thing is hella ugly,the regular pc engine and pc engine with the cd next to it looks cooler than that,and i love the supergrafx ,that has to be the best lookin system it looks so industrial and mechanical and mysterious,the original super famicaom and mega drive and megadrive cd look way cooler and way more futureistic,the controler is fugly too

[bulletproof2353]

oh and super famicom too

[bulletproof2353]

nah i think the regular pc engine and the supergrafx are the coolest looking sysetems,and the originlal mega drive and megadrive cd

[REPOMAN24722]

Im not a big fan of the looks of this console the dreamcast looks good

[gamecollect101]

Oh almost forgot, sold at Radio Shack.

[gamecollect101]

The system screams for a fresh copy of Rondo, mines did. Ordered a mint boxed Duo-R a couple weeks back, I was so impressed I went out and ordered a Duo-Rx boxed mint. It just powers up so smoothly and performs so quietly, it really is the Ps3 of it's day. For anyone planning on getting one, buy yourself the 1A enercell AC to DC power adaptor (Set to 9V), there saved you 900 hrs of research.

[FPietros]

At that time the SNES/Genesis were at the top of the market. Few cared about the PC-engine or any other console for that matter and heck even the Neo Geo didn't have much of a chance against Nintendo and Sega's consoles...

[speedlolita1]

Could the polystyrene like, melt into the console / cables at all like in your Master System video. Asking as I just got a boxed one of these..

[ASSEMblerEX]

@speedlolita1 Yes, sadly. Old pc engine systems are already doing this.

[speedlolita1]

@ASSEMblerEX Thanks, plan to have it out anyway but I'll get some bags to protect it from the polystyrene when I do store it.

[ryanc519]

pc engine graphics would only look good on RGB TVs..those are hard to find these days as well

[RatsBoulevard]

What's the song in the background called?

[hjhdet]

Look like the ps3 but better

[skunkkey666]

original white pc engine is the best looking console ever

[doujindance]

back ground music is very funny.

[MaryStewart]

Respond to this video... nice system; ugly controller!

[eyesofnova]

man, that is a sweet machine. I never got the chance to ever play one of these but I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it other then the single controller slot.

[D3STRUKT0R99]

lots of consoles have the video cable port in the back

[ASSEMblerEX]

@D3STRUKT0R99 On normal duo it's on the side

[drleatherface]

It looks like an old answering machine!

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

..Hm. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see what's so excellent about the design.

Seems like a good system though.

[guitmm]

One of the greatest systems ever.

[shorty1k]

Hot damn..I want one. Great review.

[shwink]

You have probably done the best review I have ever seen of the duo-x. Never realized how good it looked either.
