History of the PC Engine
The PC Engine’s journey began in 1987 with its release in Japan. It was initially marketed as a “personal computer engine,” highlighting its advanced capabilities and its ability to run software from various sources. The console’s design was compact and sleek, a stark contrast to the bulky consoles of the time, such as the NES and Sega Master System.
The PC Engine’s innovative features included a powerful 16-bit processor, a CD-ROM add-on called the PC Engine CD-ROM², and a unique HuCard cartridge system that allowed for quick loading times.
