As an
alternative for those who did not own a
PC Engine and a
Super CD-ROM² unit (and for the company to release some of the
pressure from
Nintendo's fast-selling
Super Famicom,
NEC released the
PC Engine Duo in 1991, for ¥59,800. A hybrid system capable of playing both HuCards and CD-ROM² games, the Duo was another technical marvel from NEC (
JVC and
Sega soon copied this concept for the
Wondermega/
X'Eye).
Known in North America as the TurboDuo.
