Turbo Zone Direct ww.tzd.com

the original owner sold it a year or so ago, but it still has sealed games. good prices for complete new games, but you wont find any used ones.

If you are looking for specific titles, i would recommend forums. pcenginefx.com, digitalpress, here, neo-geo.com, etc...

I really wanted a PC-Engine Core Grafx for the longest time. I had planned to get one when I went to Akihabara, but the only place I could find one was at Super Potato for 9,000 yen. In hindsight I should of just gone for it, but it seemed like too much to drop on it at that moment.

Avoid the modern Turbo Zone Direct (www.tzd.com). They're owned by a company which initially made the store-front content disappear and tried to jack it up on eBay. The pcenginefx forums certainly don't think much of the new owners. Check with them for good sources of hardware and games.

You've got me all nostalgic now for the old TZD. Before the net was huge, they'd send out flyers through the mail. They even dabbled with imports for awhile, but 70 bucks for Drac X was too much for me at 16 :)

I really like the TurboGrafx/PC-Engine, which is why I am modding one at the moment (current project). Games are very good quality, although of course there are a lot that aren't. It was a system ahead of its time and still a very good system.
