Matters Not The American CD unit was once again unnecessarily huge. The TurboGrafx-16 was large to begin with - now a CD unit more than doubled the size of the entire system. The American CD-ROM and Interface unit was also designed to sit underneath the TurgoGrafx-16. Because the TurboGrafx-16 was double the size of the PC Engine, this meant the CD unit was double the size of its Japanese cousin. While size wasn’t what did the TurboGrafx-16 in, it was a major annoyance for the user. A special carrying case was developed for the entire system, and was also very large. The Japanese carrying case, on the other hand, was tiny in comparison. It was actually just a plastic lid that clipped on to the top of the Interface Unit. On the under side was a handle that flipped out. The PC Engine, CD-ROM system, and carrying case were the same size as the TurboGrafx-16 unit alone. |
