The TurboDuo is a home console manufactured by NEC and originally released in North America in 1992. It is a localised version of the PC Engine Duo.
Hardware
The TurboDuo reverses a decision made by the TurboGrafx-16, by opting to use Japanese PC Engine-style controller ports rather than the differing design used by Western systems up until this point. This means all Western controllers released before October 1992 are incompatible with the TurboDuo without adapters, though a wider range of controllers can now be imported from Japan without compatibility issues.
Problematically this meant that at the time, in order to play against a friend, a (relatively rare) Duo Tap needed to be used, as the old TurboTap is incompatible with the system.
