	TurboGrafx 16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The TurboExpress was a portable version of the TurboGrafx, released in 1990 for $249.99 (the price was briefly raised to $299.99, soon dropped back to $249.99, and by 1992 it was $199.99).
		NEC of Japan had great success within Japan by concentrating their promotion and marketing focus on only the largest cities in the country.
		Furthermore, it was fairly common for TurboExpress systems to have missing pixels in their displays, due to the fact that TFT LCD manufacturing technology was still in its infancy.

		NEC TurboExpress -- which came out a year or so after their TurboGrafx-16 home game system did here in America.
		Sadly, what killed the TurboExpress was its asking price of $300 and that it wasn't as widely available and accessible to gamers as were Nintendo's or Sega's systems, handheld or otherwise.
		Unlike the Lynx and the TurboExpress, the Game Gear had the advantage of third-party software support which Sega had garnered for their Genesis system after the ridiculous failure of allowing any for the Master System, and also some of the games that appeared on the Gameboy would also be converted into Game Gear titles.

	Handheld game console - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Several other attempts to compete with the Game Boy were made, such as the NEC TurboExpress, Supervision, and Neo Geo Pocket.
		Despite technologically superior hardware in almost all of these systems, especially by the mid-1990s, none were ever a close competitor to the Game Boy.
		The Turbo ran its two 6820 CPUs at 3.58 MHz in parallel, for a total of 7.16 MHz.

		The TurboExpress screen may be barely bigger than Game Boy's, but it's the clearest, crispest, and most colorful of any hand-held.
		An optional TV tuner turns the TurboExpress into a miniature television perfect for airport and commuter viewing.
		But TurboExpress plays a bigger card than that; cartridges that slip into NEC's TurboGrafx-16 home system run on the company's hand-held.

		The character is about to slide out the card that is currently in the TurboExpress.
		Notice clearly the NEC and TurboExpress logo to the front of the unit, and part of the “whale” logo right below the speaker.

		NEC's TurboExpress is without question the most collectible portable system out there.
		While the TurboExpress remains immensely popular among collectors it didn't fare too well during its prime years for a plethora or reasons.
		You know, for a little while (actually it was during lunch), I actually considered bumping NEC's TurboExpress to first place, but Nintendo and legendary designer Gunpei Yokoi's greatest product has earned every right to be number one.

		The idea of a person being able to take Super Mario Bros. or Tetris with them on a trip or to school was an idea whose time had come.
		It soon spawned a host of competitors (the NEC TurboExpress in 1990, the Atari Lynx in 1990, the Sega Game Gear in 1991, etc.).
		But, despite their technical superiority, these competitors were no match for the marketing muscle and overall quality of the GameBoy, and all eventually faded from view.

		Because of the significant difficulties faced by Atari, they essentially went out of business- posing little threat to Nintendo.
		NEC- TurboExpress The TurboExpress was capable of playing the same software as the NEC’s full size TurboGrafx 16.
		In addition, TurboExpress offered a crisp and vibrant screen, and several rechargeable battery packs.

		Two of the biggest questions - those of battery life and system/game cost haven't been finalized for either system at the time of this writing, and these two factors will no doubt go a long way toward many people's buying decisions.
		Almost all of Nintendo's past portable competitors including Sega's Game Gear and Nomad, Atari's Lynx, and NEC's TurboExpress all failed to reach Nintendo's success, partially because of one of more of these two factors.
		That said, everyone is more excited about one than the other and I'm personally more excited about the Nintendo DS.

		Like the Lynx, the Game Gear walked all over the Game Boy's technology, and like the Lynx, it died with a whimper when Sega determined that the Game Boy was going to own the portable gaming market.
		More expensive portable consoles came and went much faster; NEC's portable TurboExpress and Sega's Nomad played cartridges from the TurboGrafx and Genesis, respectively, on high-quality backlit screens.
		Even when they selling for close-out prices, these units sold for more than a brand-new Game Boy.

		The first unit to do just this has finally been released overseas, and it's only a matter of time before a North America distributor scores a unit for release in this country.
		Having the ability to watch television on a handheld game system is definitely not a new thing; both Sega's Game Gear portable and NEC's TurboExpress units offered tuner adapters for about a hundred dollars each.
		Since these peripherals weren't exactly hot sellers, though, both Sega and NEC only produced a limited number of them...in fact, when Sega modified the Game Gear hardware for future systems (a common practice to reduce manufacturing costs), the TV tuner was incompatible.

		When Sega released the portable Game Gear in 1991, Atari's LYNX and NEC's TurboExpress were already on the verge of being discontinued.
		All three systems had faster processors and full-color displays (Game Gear and TurboExpress were even compatible with optional TV tuners), but they still couldn't hold a candle to Game Boy's popularity—simply because they devoured batteries and weren't as convenient to carry around.
		Despite that, Game Gear managed to survive the longest and, for a while, seemed to be threatening Game Boy's hand-held dominance.

		NEC must have thought that since the thing was going to cost a bundle anyway they might as well not be cheap-asses and just put the best screen on the market.
		The only problem I saw was that sometimes it was hard to read text designed for a large TV screen on the unit.

		In spite of its color screen and more powerful hardware, the Lynx was forced to bow out in under two years due to poor marketing and the unit's abysmal battery life.
		NEC's TurboExpress tried in 1990, and Sega tried twice with its GameGear and Nomad systems (1992, 1995).
		There have also been others, like the NeoGeo Pocket, Game.com, Wonderswan, and the GP32 - but none have been able to wrest the crown from Nintendo.

		Although the PSP represents the biggest challenge to the Game Boy's handheld supremacy yet, Nintendo has successfully fended off formidable competitors before.
		In the early '90s, Sega's Game Gear, Atari's Lynx and NEC's TurboExpress offered the color-screen capability that the first Game Boy lacked.
		But Sony won't be going up against just the Game Boy Advance.

		The original GameBoy triumphed over a number of worthy adversaries, including Sega's GameGear, NEC's TurboExpress, Atari's Lynx, and Tiger's abysmal Game.com.
		Yet, no matter how many systems were thrown at them, Nintendo just seemed to become more popular and certainly the company to beat!

		I'm what you might call a gaming "enthusiast." I'm not the best player in the world, but I enjoy it a great deal, and what I enjoy even more than playing games is collecting them.
		I have every system Nintendo and Sega ever released in America, not to mention a Sony Playstation, an Atari 2600, an Atari Lynx, an Atari Jaguar, an NEC TurboExpress, an SNK NeoGeo Pocket Color, a Mattel Intellivision, a Bally Professional Arcade (Astrocade), and a few other odds and ends.
		Right now, my game collection stands at about 720, give or take a dozen or so.

		It works best in low lighting since its backlit, but is nowhere near as nice as the TurboExpress, and still slightly worse than the Game Gear and Lynx.
		Sigh, it was the best of it's kind, only outdone by the NEC TurboExpress (but it was a lot cheaper).
		(I disclude the TurboExpress because it was way too expensive at $299) And the Nomad didn't hit the stores until late 1995, so this has my vote for best portable gaming system from 1989 to 1995, hands down.
