Weird ass obscure game console thread.

Genesis or Turbo Duo?

>>3129698
I see a Megadrive logo on the upper left box, so...

>>3129698
>>3129704
Both and neither. It's a high-end laserdisc player that has a game slot in the bottom left corner, you could put in either of those boxes on the top and you'd then have either a Mega CD or a PC Engine CD.

It also allowed for a handful of laserdisc-enhanced Mega CD games, mostly FMV shit like Road Avenger and Time Gal.

>>3129717
What are the slots on the fronts of those boxes? MD and PCE cartridge slots? I'm assuming for their respective CD incarnations you put the disc in the laserdisc drive.

Also

Literally everyone here except a few /v/lings know it.

>>3129778
Wait, so it's a Mega Drive AND a PC Engine in one? Woah.

You have to switch out PACs(the two units on top), depending on what system you want to play, but yes.

I think there's one with a mega drive built in but I can't find it.

My wife had one as a kid. She ended up liking the DBZ game her brother got for it more than the Sailor Moon game she wanted.

I think part of why those are hard to come by these days is because people buy them to strip out the parts in them and add them to regular NES's/Famicoms so that they can output RGB, even though the newer RGB solutions have nicer color palettes that are closer to what you'd get with component but much sharper. Same deal with the Sharp Famicom Titler.

What exactly are you disputing? If you read hobbyist retro game forums like Nintendoage and all that, you see a lot of people who have done exactly what I've described -- stripping out the PPUs from Sharp Famicom Titlers and Sharp My Computer TVs. This happened a ton before the NES RGB kits came out in late 2013 because there was no other way of outputting RGB from a Famicom or NES. Even on those forums, users would often rage over this since they were ruining $1,000 Famicom Titlers just to strip out the PPU to put in another console.


Also, it's common knowledge that the PPUs used in these systems are in some ways inferior to the options we have now, despite the the fact that they are in most ways superior to using component or what have you. Pic related.

How about the 1985 Halcyon LaserDisc game system, which initially cost $2500 and had a whopping 2 games released for it.

>>3131158
Titler had an RGB PPU, but the NES TVs are both standard composite units.

>>3130601
pedo detected

>>3131158
and people are striping ppus from playchoise-10 boards not the titlers

>>3130776
What?
They made a magnavox odyssey TV?

>>3131162
Weren't laserdiscs basically only capable on press this button here games like dragons lair or shitty FMV games?

>>3133072
Essentially. Thayer's Quest (aka Kingdom: The Far Reaches on CD-i, 3DO and PC) is basically a choose-your-own-adventure FMV game, while NFL Football looks like it's just about calling football plays before showing FMV clips.

It has NOAC inside?

The Japanese My Computer TV C1s had RGB PPUs.

>>3135823
I wonder if you could use it with the super gameboy...

>>3131162
Wow 1985 and it got a full colour touch screen on the controller. Take that WiiU!

>>3136639
That's a paper overlay, dumbass.

>>3129668
shit, i saw one of those about 6 years ago for $300-500 with the sega PAC. didn't have enough money for it and i'm always hoping to find one in the trash one day.

>>3129778
there is a MD and PCE slots, but ALSO modules for Gensis and TG-16 because there were US variants too.

A mate of mine did when we were 11. He had Burnin' Rubber and Barbarian 2. We thought they were good at the time but obviously they weren't.

We used to have a sleep over every Friday at his where we'd play this, look at porn mags and watch this shitty horror film called Slugs.

>>3137749
No my parents bought me a Mega Drive because they didn't hate me.

>>3133072
Depends what you mean by that. Laserdisc consoles were, but if you can load a normal game from a cassette tape, you could certainly load one from a Laserdisc if someone were to have done that.

Had potential to be good if they made more games for it and marketed it better

>>3139384
If a proper computer/console had a Laserdisc drive then yeah. But standard Laserdisc movie players - no.

Think of those DVD TV games like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. That's all the basic DVD menu system can support but there's nothing to stop a system using DVDs as a storage medium for something more sophisticated, like the PS2 did.

Lol same

Not obscure

>>3139409
Yeah, that's what I meant. And its not hard to see why that is. By the time people were making the sort of large games that would have required optical discs (other than those interactive movies that are on laserdiscs), CDs had already been invented.
