Theres another HUGE difference between the original TG16-CD unit and
the Duo, and that is durability. I have a CD unit that I bought in
1990 that stills works great, and another one I found at a flea
market for $20, had it repaired, and its also worked flawlessly. As
for my Duo, I bought it brand new about 4 years ago from
Telegames.com and have hardly ever used it and it quit working. We're
talking far less than 50 total hours of use and it died. Get the CD
unit add-on if at all possible.
