Johnny Turbo
Johnny Turbo is a superhero character created to advertise the Turbo Duo, a hybrid of the Turbografx-16 console and its add-on, the TurboGrafx CD, in North America. The character was conceived by Turbo Technologies Inc. (a venture of NEC and Hudson Soft) as a mascot of the console. Previously, NEC used Bonk as the Turbografx-16's mascot. Later, continuing this theme, TTi would adopt Air Zonk (a cyborg-Bonk who starred in horizontal shooters ''Air Zonk'' and '' Super Air Zonk: Rockabilly-Paradise'') as the mascot for TurboDuo. Unlike Bonk or Zonk, Johnny Turbo never starred in any games during the Turbo Duo's lifetime. Instead, his only appearances were in three comic book-like advertisements published in gaming magazines of the day, such as ''Video Games & Computer Entertainment'' and ''Electronic Gaming Monthly''. The character was briefly revived for a playable appearance in the 2019 puzzle game ''Crystal Crisis''. He was also used in the name and banner for Johnny Turbo's A ...

A role-playing video game (commonly referred to as simply a role-playing game or RPG, as well as a computer role-playing game or CRPG) is a video game genre where the player controls the actions of a character (or several party members) immersed in some well-defined world, usually involving some form of character development by way of recording statistics. Many role-playing video games have origins in tabletop role-playing games Adams, Rollings 2003, p. 347 and use much of the same terminology, settings and game mechanics. Other major similarities with pen-and-paper games include developed story-telling and narrative elements, player character development, complexity, as well as replay value and immersion. The electronic medium removes the necessity for a gamemaster and increases combat resolution speed. RPGs have evolved from simple text-based console-window games into visually rich 3D experiences.
