The '''TurboExpress''' was a handheld video game console, released by NEC in 1990. It was essentially a portable version of the Turbografx-16/PC-Engine home console that came 2 to 3 years earlier. It was known as the '''PC Engine GT''' (Game Tank) in Japan.
 
  
As part of the fourth generation of gaming, the TurboExpress primarily competed with Nintendo's Game Boy, Sega's Game Gear, and the Atari Lynx. However, with just a mere 1.5 million units sold, behind its main competitors, the TurboExpress failed to gain significant sales or market share.
