Still own multiple TG-16’s. The CD-ROM attachment plus Ys: Book I & II was a modern technical marvel at the time.
Hearing full hi-fi stereo anime rock and roll instead of chip tunes blew my mind back in the day.
- zulux 4mo agoMany TG CD-Games had their code in track one, and the other tracks were just redbook audio. So you pop the CD into a regular player, skip the first one or two tracks so your speakers don't blow out with static, and then enjoy the game soundtrack.
- jeremyevans 4mo agoActually, I think most had the code in track 2. Track 1 was an audio track warning you that the disc is only designed to a play on the system.

- softfalcon 4mo agoYes, this is correct. When you put the CD into a regular player, a strikingly beautiful (but monotonous) woman’s voice would say: “This CD is made for the Turbografx game system. Please place it into the CD drive on your Turbografx to play.” My brother and I thought this was really cool when we were kids. We thought the CD player must “know” that it’s a game.
