<p>It’s been announced that the TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine module (or the EM04 “Turbo” Element Module Set to give its full title) for the upcoming modular retro console Polymega will include five licensed pack-in games playable from the module itself.</p>
<p>The five bonus titles are <strong>Moto Roader</strong> (NA and JP versions), <strong>Moto Roader II</strong> (JP version), <strong>Double Dungeons</strong> (NA and JP versions), <strong>Shockman</strong> (NA and JP versions) and <strong>Dragon Egg</strong> (JP version).</p>

<p>The console is looking to be a very convenient and faithful solution for all your retro gaming needs – it’s even going to feature <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/06/polymegas_next_gen_light_gun_controller_will_let_you_play_duck_hunt_on_your_hdtv">a Retro Gun Controller accessory</a> that will let you play light gun games on a modern HD TV set.

<p>The only obvious fly in the ointment at the moment appears to be the price – $299.99 for the base unit plus $59.99 per module. These pack-in games do sweeten the deal, but the cost is up there with current gen consoles.</p>
<p>It seems that Turbografx and PC Engine fans have plenty to look forward to at the moment – the announcement of the Turbografx-16 and PC Engine Mini consoles means there’s suddenly multiple ways to play that system’s catalogue on a modern telly.
