Nihon Denki日本電気alternative words: Nippon Denki, Nec keywords: company , nec related topics: PC-Engine , PC-FX related web sites: http://www.nec.co.jp explanation: Commonly called Nec, it is the biggest professional electronics company in Japan, though it makes a little domestic appliances. This explains a relative failure of PC-Engine: excellent machine sold without any serious marketing plan. It was founded in 1898 and employs 38,000 persons (without subsidiaries). 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. PC-FXＰＣ ＦＸalternative words: PC FX keywords: machine , model , nec related topics: Nihon Denki , PC-Engine explanation: Consumer game machine released by Nec in December 1994. As the successor of PC-Engine, a CD-Rom device is automatically integrated. It is a 32-bits machine and rich in the animation capacity. It has never been popular in foreign countries but in Japan, thanks to its graphic performance and an incorporated CD-Rom device, several publishers have thrown onto a creation of erotic games for this machine.
