Decided to buy the real thing too last week, so as of today I am the proud owner of a Turbo Duo R.
Having fond memories of their arcade counterparts, I got Salamander & Wonder Boy 3: Monster Lair, to test my unit. All is working fine and I am super happy I finally got one...been wanting that machine for 25 years now
And Parodius is on its way as well, a co-worker is bringing that from Japan for me so I should have it by next week
