The PC Engine might have typically been an 8-bit console, but, in reality, it was on par with the best the 16-bit era had to offer and its excellent arcade ports are all the proof you'll ever need. The 1989 PC Engine CoreGrafx is the very same essentially 16-bit console, only re-released in a shiny new case and with a modified controller. Oh, and you can buy one via this PC Engine CoreFX auction. Seller ships worldwide. The console seems to be in pretty great shape too.
The diminutive form-factor of the PC-Engine is one of it's most attractive features in my opinion. It pains me to recall how they Americanized the poor little guy.
ReplyDeleteIt was a silly choice really. Not unlike the one regarding the size of the Lynx I'm afraid... Then again, it could be worse. We never really got the console in Europe.
