PC Engine / TurboGrafx

The PC Engine is a fourth generation home video game console developed by NEC and released in Japan in 1987. It featured a compact design and used HuCard cartridges, with an optional CD-ROM add-on that made it the first home console to support CD-based games. Known as the TurboGrafx-16 in North America, the system competed with the Sega Mega Drive and Super Famicom. The PC Engine was notable for its strong arcade ports and multimedia capabilities, particularly in Japan where it saw significant success.
