 TurboGrafx 16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TurboGrafx 16 is a video game console released by NEC in 1989, for the North American market.
The TurboGrafx CD ROM peripheral was widely considered overpriced (debuting at nearly $399.00 as an add-on, eventually dropping to $149.99 when TurboDuo was launched), and the system was hard to find outside of large cities.
Several variations on the TurboGrafx were released throughout the 1990s.

 TurboGrafx CD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TurboGrafx 16 was the first video game console in North America to have a CD-ROM peripheral (following the pioneering spirit of the PC-Engine CD-ROM add-on in Japan, although the FM Towns Marty was the first console to have a built-in CD-ROM).
Please see PC Engine CD Hardware Details for more info about the Technical Specifications pertaining to the TurboGrafx CD.

 Dark Watcher's Console History
Although this policy was later ruled illegal, it hurt the TurboGrafx a lot in the early stages of its life.
The Arcade Card Pro card in particular added 16 megabits of RAM, and was used to play arcade quality games such as Fatal Fury and other SNK hits.
Releasing a game on TurboGrafx exclusively (as they would have to do) would restrict its potential sales (as the NES had a greater installed user base).

 ClassicGaming - The Museum: TurboGrafx-16 FAQ
For instance, the Genesis has 8x8 tiles which use 16 colors from one of 4 palettes each, which would be 64 colors, except that the 16th is a "transparent" color that is the same for all 4.
Therefore, one sprite may use one set of 16 colors, and another a different set, hiding the limitations of the 16 color limit.
The actual size of the BG can be much larger than the display area of the TV screen, allowing scrolling, etc. As with sprites, there is also a set of 16 palettes, each with 16 colors for use with BG characters.

The Genesis frankly blew the base TG 16 away, and until the Duo was the steal at 300 bucks with a ton of pack in games, it wasn't worth the price.
There aren't many TG 16 emulators, and its the only truely good one.
Its probably harmed the TG 16 fanbase more than its helped it.

 Pasta Art, TurboGrafx-16 and TurboPlay's video game contests (Special Feature) @ TurboPlay Magazine Archives (TurboGrafx-16, TurboGrafx-CD, DUO)
In the October / November 1991 issue of TurboPlay the contest beckoned: "All you have to do is draw a scene or character from your favorite TurboGrafx-16 game, and you could win big." Ahhh, yet another artwork contest (not all of the contests involved art, of course, but many of them did).
yes, I confess, I was a 16 year old nerd painting pictures of Space Harrier in 1991.
The gimmick worked (compare my slop to the other drawings) and I won the grand prize in the "13 to 16 years of age" category.

They bragged about the 5200's 320X200 resolution and 256 colors, as opposed to the CV's 256X192 resolution and mere 16 colors- what they didn't say, however, was that the 5200 couldn't do both at the same time, but this wasn't the impression you'd get from the ads.
I voted for the Turbo-Grafx 16, because its capabilities.
Mud-slinging is one thing, but in the 5200/CV debate (plenty of mud-slinging, you can't play them on Coleco!...even as they were making superior versions FOR the CV!), Atari sort of fibbed.

 TURBOGRAFX-16
The NEC PC Engine was a huge hit over in Japan (it even beat out the mega popular Japanese NES in sales for a few years) and it finally came to North America in August of 1989 as the Turbo Grafx-16 (it looks totally different than the white square looking PC Engine).
NEC is not only a huge electronic company buy they also create their own video game system back in the day.
Even though Sega was a serious rival to the Turbo, Sega themselves released a lot of top games for the turbo like Dragon Curse, Space Harrier, and Fantasy Zone (Sega was not doing so well in Japan at the time, so they made several games for NEC).
