Message: [QUOTE="TamagotchiTamaHero24, post: 280928, member: 215120"] [ATTACH type="full"]96184[/ATTACH] This is the PC-FX, NEC and Hudson’s second home console project. It leans more into the personal computer aesthetic (hence, PC-FX) and reflects that focus with a focus on incredible sprite art and fmv animation. It was never released in the west. [ATTACH type="full" size="1920x1259"]96185[/ATTACH] For as much trouble as the PC-Engine (TG16) has had getting respect among western retro game enthusiasts, the PC-FX has faired a thousand times worse. Its library leans older, with many games having tons of text, leading to a westerner to assume the worst about the console since they can’t understand the library. I have to say… I was one of those people. A while back, I cited it in a “bad game systems” thread under the false assertion that it was nothing to look forward to. This was wrong. [MEDIA=youtube]1cR4QKiDjOQ[/MEDIA] Here’s the best overview I’ve found on YouTuve for this system and its library from a western perspective. Just LOOK at these games, man! I’m unsure of if the system is emulatable, but rest assured I’ll be looking for one. Consider my interest piqued, and I have to apologize to the system, as it’s initial impression on me from other westerners almost pushed me to never look further inward and just dismiss the device outright.

Just a console I almost completely overlooked for a DECADE because I never heard anybody cite its library and heard it was expensive, so I just never bothered to even open my mind up to seeing if there was something I liked. Just a console that, when I finally chose to give it a second look, absolutely spoke to me like no other machine ever has. Just a console with one of the most rich, varied, beautiful, and idiosyncratic libraries in all of gaming. Y’know. Just my favorite console. I’m so happy I gave it a second look, because it’s been the jewel of my gaming world ever since. Are there any game systems you all have given a second chance to in your life? [/QUOTE]
