-====== PC Engine CD ======
+====== PC Engine CD-ROM²/TurboGrafx-CD ======
-The PC Engine CD is a console developed by NEC. It was released in 1988.
+The CD-ROM²/TurboGrafx-CD is an attachment to the original [[systems:pcengine|PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16]] console developed by NEC. It was released in 1988. This made the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 the first videogame console ever to use CD-ROMs as storage media.
+A later revision of the base console, the PC Engine Duo R (TurboDuo in the US), was released in 1991 (1992 in the US) which integrated the CD add-on into the unit and enhanced internals. This revision used a different controller port (which could still use the older controllers, but required an adapter). There would be yet another Japan-exclusive revision, the PC Engine Duo RX in 1994, which featured a six-button controller.
 This system scrapes metadata for the "pcenginecd" group and loads the ''pce-cd'' set from the currently selected theme, if available.
