Moto Roader I and II, Double Dungeons, Shockman and Dragon Egg are coming to the Polymega system.
The HD modular game console will include all five licensed TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine pack-in titles on the EM04 “Turbo” Element Module Set, accoring to developers Playmaji and extreme Co., LTD.
“We’re huge fans of the TurboGrafx-16/PCE,” said Playmaji co-founder and CEO Bryan Bernal. “It’s exciting to share with players a great new way to explore this wonderfully underrated system through five great classic digital pack-in games as part of our partnership with Japan-based extreme Co.,LTD and the Masaya Games brand.”
With this module, owners can play original TG-16 and Japanese PCE HuCard games on the system region free, using either OEM controllers or the in-house designed 6-button “Turbo” retro controller, one of which is packed in with each Module Set. TurboGrafx CD and PC-Engine CD games can be played through the base unit itself, without the need for a module.

- Moto Roader モトローダー (NA + JP Versions)

- Double Dungeons ダブルダンジョン (NA + JP Versions)
