Turbografx Express
The PC Engine GT, or the TurboExpress, is a portable version of the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 and was released in Japan in 1990. It can only play games from the HuCard system. It has a 2.6" backlit, active-matrix color LCD Screen, which was very advanced for the time for a portable game unit. Unfortunately this advanced LCD screen also had a high power usage, causing the unit to have a short battery life, and driving the cost of the device up, hurting sales.
The TurboExpress also has a TV tuner adapter and a link cable to allow for two players to play together.
