It's got some technical drawbacks, but nothing that at all breaks the game or anything like that. It's a perfectly fine version.

Which ones are those? I'm curious.

Screen being compressed horizontally with the HUD now on the side is the big one. I think most of the technical drawbacks are actually graphics related, and iirc they're fairly minor.

I saw on HG101 that they both cover the same ground so playing on a big screen it's probably even welcomed, me thinks.

Now to find a copy

Now, do you know what the real drawback is?

I don't want to be rich one day, but someday I want to never run out of batteries.

AA's, AAA's, D's, 9-Volts, etc.; I want to have them on hand everyday for the rest of my life.

Superscope ran out of juice? No problem. The nose won't light up on OPERATION? I gotcha covered. SIMON lost it's spunk? No worries.

Trying to get into the world of PC-Engine and TurboGrafx is confusing. So I need a Core Grafx if I want composite, but I can mod the TurboGrafx for S-Video. But then I should probably get a Turbo Duo, since disc games are region free. Then I'll need the arcade cards or whatever.

Bah!

I just need a simple answer. TurboGrafx or PC-Engine Core Grafx? Is there anything on the Turbo that I can't get on Japanese Hu-Cards and vice versa?

There are WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY more Japanese HuCard games that don't have American counterparts versus American games that don't have Japanese counterparts.

The TurboGrafx-16 is like the Neo Geo - it's "very Japanese." Not many Western developers created games for the system.

The only US exclusives I can think of are certain sports games like Andre Panza Kick Boxing and Champions Forever Boxing. Nearly every single well-known game originated in Japan and is thus available in Japan and the US, or Japan only.

Boxer shorts and Gold Bond powder. Feels like there is an air conditioner sauna on your nether regions all day long.

FTFY actually the GB makes no difference either way, but yeah...

Do some searching sir. This has been covered many times recently.

Had a look at the ingredients. One of them is zinc oxide, used to treat baby butt rash...

So GB cancels underwear rash...

Why not just get no rash that needs canceling. Much cheaper. No underwear costs, no GB, no extra laundry...

Also, boxer shorts tend to make a knot in the middle...

Only downside of not wearing underwear is when you're walking outside and your penis rubs against your leg and you get an erection...

By the way, same goes for women. Fresh mussels for the win...

"But it's good for you honey."

"No, seriously..."

no extra laundry...

I dispute this. You can't recycle pants and shorts if you take this method. So you're having to wash those more often.
