I just re-hooked my Turbo Duo and am thinking about picking up a few japanese cds. I never was overly familiar w/the TG import scene though. So, my question for any fellow Turbo fans is this ...
what would be some good import game choices? (those w/little or limited language barrier & those not needing the arcade card)

I have two imports, both came with the system when I bought it off eBay -- Panic Bomber and Golden Axe.
Panic Bomber seems like a pretty solid game. It's bright, cheerful, attractive, and has a Bomberman theme. Very easy to follow if you don't speak Japanese. But as far as block-based puzzle games go, Tetris and Tetris Attack are enough for me, so I never got into it.
Golden Axe is interesting because it's so different from the Genesis version that I'm used to. It has well-animated cut-scenes that expand on the story much more. It has voiceovers, and the music is much better. On the other hand, I don't know Japanese, so the extra story is pretty much lost on me, and the actual gameplay sucks. The controls are clunky (though the Genesis version is, too) and the graphics are just plain bad.
