I came relatively late into the TG-16 gaming wagon when I got me a Turbo Duo unit with some games (cards and CD's) about five years ago.  "Silent Dubuggers" was one of the titles that impressed me considering it's age and ancient technology (an 8-bit machine comparable to the Sega Master).  For a dungeon crawler I found the colorful graphics pleasing, the sound phenomenal and the challenge interesting.  I played it a few times, put it away and forgot about it until I read your review.  Unfortunately my Turbo Duo has been in the fritz for a couple of years and I haven't gotten around fixing it.  When I do the card for "Silent Debuggers" is still here, ready for another tryout after I play other goodies first ("Castlevania X").

Duo comparable to the Master System? Are you kidding me?  Sure, they're both dark colored consoles and they both have rectangular game pads... but really.

Dave,

Now that you reviewed TV Sports Football (and suffered for it I am sure), you owe it to yourself to track down and review Madden Duo. This is classic Madden all the way and is sort of a hybrid between Madden 92 and Madden 93.

Great gameplay, unintentionally hilarious video clips, and no passing windows (that's right - at least 2 full years before that feature appeared on other systems) all add up to a good game.

As a hstorical note, this game was licensed to Hudson and not created by EA and I think it was the first time that happened with a Madden game.

My bad, I was talking specifically about "Silent Debuggers."  I meant to say the Turbo-Grafx 16 aspects of the Duo (the CD-R games/sound are leaps beyond anything 8 or 16-bit at the time) mirror, technology wise, the innards of 8-bit systems like the Sega Master.  The proof is in the games though, and TG-16's Hue Card games didn't look/play as 8-bit (despite being on a system that was) as its Sega Master or NES counterparts.
