Description

The PC Engine, and its extended family, have undeniably left their mark on the video game world. Their genius could have, and should have changed the landscape of video games at the end of the 20th century... The creation of the PC Engine, the arrival of its American alter-ego, the Turbografx-16, the CD-ROM², the SuperGrafx, and the PC-FX are at the heart of one of the most exciting periods of time for video games, during the late 1980s and 1990s - when market leaders Nintendo thought themselves untouchable. The PC Engine / Turbografx-16 & PC-FX Anthology beautifully pays homage to the console ecosystem of NEC and Hudson Soft, its creators.


HISTORY CHAPTER

In the middle of the 1980's, at a time when the NES/Famicom reigned as Master of the world of video games, a publisher named Hudson Soft, and an electronic Magnate named NEC joined together to create a system of avant-garde electronics inspired by the universe of Micro PCs... As such the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16 in North America) was born.
