The most curated, hand-tested, English-friendly romset for the TurboGrafx-CD unit

The TurboGrafx-CD (called the PC Engine CD-ROM² in Japan) was a TurboGrafx-16 with the world’s first console CD add-on, boasting the beginning of CDs as a storage medium for video games!

Download Instructions

Archive.org's torrent feature wasn't designed with large collections like this in mind, so I do not recommend using it - Downloads can fail or be incomplete. If you're wanting to help preserve this set, you can use the link below to download everything directly. That will make sure you get everything saved without trouble! Also, I highly recommend using a download manager such as the Link Grabber feature in JDownloader 2 to make sure you get the quickest and most reliable connections possible. Just copy this link and add it to the Grabber. That's it! It should autofill all the folders and files automatically for easy download:

Special items included:
Unreleased prototypes, games not in English (but only if they were easy enough to play without being fluent in another language), English-patched translations, plus these extras:

"Bikini Girls," "Develo: Starter Kit - Assembler-hen," "Develo: Starter Kit - BASIC-hen," "Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Yuna HuVIDEO CD," "Hawiian Island Girls," "Magical Dinosaur Tour," and "The Local Girls of Hawaii."

None of these extras are "games" in the typical sense - They contain multimedia programs that I believe are important to preserve. If you're only after the actual games in this set, feel free to delete those titles named above.

Items removed:
Non-working dumps, duplicates, prototypes of games that eventually saw a release, versions not in English when English was available, Japanese and European versions of titles when a North American version was available, hacks, homebrew games, and titles not in English that require proficiency in another language to play - Those can be found in my "TurboGrafx-CD Language Pack" here: archive.org/details/language-pack-turbografx-cd-champion-collection

Release notes:
This is a complete re-work of my previous TurboGrafx-CD set, which I did a couple years back. It was super messy and a few new translations have been completed since then. I've hand-tested these new additions, added 4 more titles overall, upgraded several others to newer revisions, and organized the files much, much cleaner than last time - The folders in this collection organize the games alphabetically.

The following games have been replaced with versions updated with "Un-Worked Design" patches: "Cosmic Fantasy 2," "Exile," and "Exile II." Un-Worked Design patches take all the mostly despicable changes that the company Working Designs made in the NA region releases of JP games and revert them to the original Japanese values. Working Designs usually made games much harder to avoid store returns from gamers beating it too quick and to lengthen game rental terms. They also censored certain things for American audiences (such as nudity). These patches bring everything back to the original way they were meant to be seen and played, but they still contain the sometimes questionable translation efforts from the company.

Subject: Great collection

Thanks for spending the time and effort to compile this! Much appreciated.

Reviewer: ThreeQuartersSerious - - January 13, 2024
Subject: Great Collection

The cleanest and best-organized TurboCD collection on the archive.

For anyone else looking for Gate of Thunder, it was only published as a pack-in for the TurboDuo, and is included in the TurboDuo 4-in-1 Super CD.
(Along with Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge and Bomberman.)

Reviewer: naveed777 - - May 7, 2023
Subject: Missing titles

Why were these titles not included? Are they not english friendly enough?

Gate of Thunder

Cycho Rider (from Seiya Monogatari Anearth Fantasy Stories)

Force Gear (from Tokimeki Memorial) Arkhan 2017-01-01

Gate of Thunder Remaster (Hack) Electrohaze 2016-10-16
