I dunno...but so many people know about it, I would guess that it's not all that rare. The Japanese have bizarre ideas for games sometimes...maybe they just slap a lot of junk together when the programmers are short on "idea" people? Luckily, the 2600 does not have this flaw

To be honest, I think that's part of what appeals to me about the TG-16 already, just from the limited experience I've had with it so far. I've already noticed that wry Japanese humor/sarcasm in Keith Courage, when the shop owners say "Oh you don't have enough money? Too bad!" The more strange, funny, or bizarre the games get, the happier I'll be. Viva la TG-16!

I'm telling you, the japanese gaming industry would collapse without LSD.

And every time I play a game with characters like Yamato Man, Launch Octopus and Bubble Man, I'm entirely and eternally grateful they're all doped out of their minds. Capcom got some GOOD WEEEEEEEED and a lot of leak in their Philly wet.

All these people keep bringing up Magical Chase but has anyone ever found a copy for sale at a reasonable price?  

Got mine when it was new back in the day for right around $10. In fact, I never opened it because I had a loose one that I played. I think the game sucks and that's why I sold my extra copy for some mad cash and never opened the sealed one.

And I think it has built-in AV ports, too. It may be a stupid all-in-one connector, though

Nope, nothing special just regualy RCAs will work.

I remember the Video Game Bible has a chapter on TG-16 now, I'll have to read it to get up to speed on this stuff a bit. But it sounds like what I've read and what I'm hearing is that if I had gotten a Turbo Duo I wouldn't have to worry about cards or add-ons (it's the unit and CD in one I take it) and since I have a regular TG-16 it may be a royal P.I.T.A. to get it to play everything.

Yea the Duo is the all in one. Really it's not a pain to have a regular TG setup to play everything. System 2 card comes with the CD Unit and that whole deal should be around $50. System 3 card is around $50. A new Duo would be around $150+. I have all the different setups just because but I always preferred the Duo. I'd say you should just say screw it get a Duo so you can buy thishttp://cgi.ebay.com/...31&category=187 and play it
