As the name implies, the TourVision PC Engine is a unit based on the PC Engine from NEC, known as TurboGrafx-16 in US. The machine come with games adapted to machine's format and are bigger cartridge than their original, HuCard / TurboChip formats. The cartridge externally looks like a card game case, and has the TourVision logo, a boxart of the game and another info about TourVision's location. Internally, the cartridge is just a adapter with a original HuCard included, which means that TourVision PC Engine games released on the hardware are exactly the same from their Japanese counterparts. The machine has a MCU timer included. By default, when the user inserts a coin, it will be given 1000 seconds to play the game. When the time ends, the system auto-pauses and give sometime to the player to insert more coins in the machine, otherwise, it will reboot in game's attract mode.
