PC-EngineＰＣエンジンalternative words: PC Engine keywords: machine , model , nec related topics: Nihon Denki , PC-FX explanation: Consumer game machine released by Nec in October 1987, in association with Hudson. It has known a difficult start because of its high price (24800 yens) and a weak power of calculation (8 bits), but became gradually popular thanks to its extremely rich color pallette at that epoch (256 colors), and especially after the addition of a CD-Rom device (the first example for a console). Its longevity (fabrication stopped in 1996) shows the popularity in Japan. | |
