NEC's Turbografx-16 History Recounted

Posted by simoniker on Thursday May 27, 2004 @12:06AM from the bonk-bonkity-bonk dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for its comprehensive article discussing NEC's classic Turbografx-16 console. The article explains: "The PC-Engine went on sale in Japan in December 1987, and was the first major console launch since Nintendo's release of the Famicom in July of 1983", and muses: "The PC-Engine appealed to gamers that wanted a more arcade-like gaming experience than could be offered by the aging Famicom", before the author concludes: "If you're a fan of 8- and 16-bit games and think you've seen everything the other platforms have to offer, you might just want to take a plunge into the Turbo, and discover a whole new library of classic games."

Turbo Graphics Emulator Here by Anonymous Coward · 2004-05-27 01:07 · Score: -1, Troll

You can download a Turbo Graphix Emulator here with 50 roms. It comes with China warrior, bloody wolf, Alien Crush, Bonnks adventure and Fighting Street (the first home version of Street Fighter). It's pretty cool. I'm starting to develop my own game for the emulator too.
