Yes, in the fanciful year of ~~1990~~ 2024, you have the choice between a Sega Genesis or a TurboGrafx-16. Or Sega Mega Drive and NEC PC-Engine, respectively, as they were known in more obscure regions such as the rest of the world.
[Taken from a long defunct magazine called Zillions, we find the usual concerns, such as the consoles costing a whopping $200 and games going for $50-$70 bucks a pop. Not to mention there being only a single controller packed in unlike Nintendo.](https://i.postimg.cc/6Q7wYNsz/lossless2.png)
Just Nintendo back then, mind you.
The ancient article concludes with wisdom that remains timeless, stating maybe it’s really all about what games you might like rather than the capabilities of the console.
And also to wait to see what Nintendo’s cooking. I’m thinking Nintendo II. What else could it be called? Some sort of super Nintendo? Get outta here.

we bought a turbo graphics when it came out, was awesome, but no stores would rent turbo graphics games, so my mom being the hero she is spent about 30 mins arguing with the staff at toys r us about this for a refund, then we got our genesis..

As a contrarian at the time, I went with the turbo.

Turbo was awesome but not as available in the states as genesis / snes, at least in my region at launch.
If I saw any advertisements it was an occasional magazine add, don’t remember seeing it in any stores I went to either.
Has some great titles.

TG-16 was an 8-bit console with a 16-bit color palette.
That’s why they looked like bright, colorful NES games.
