TG16:TurboGrafx-16 Mods Wiki





The PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 is an 8-bit console from the fourth generation of video game consoles. Designed by Hudson Soft and manufactured and sold by electronics giant NEC, the console was initially released in Japan as the PC Engine in October 1987 and received a North American release as the TurboGrafx-16 in 1989. The console used small credit card-sized cartridges known as HuCards, and was also the first console to play games on optical media via a CD-ROM expansion, first released in 1988. It was also the first console to have a handheld variant which could play the same games as the home consoles. Although it was a success in Japan with numerous variants released over the years, the console saw sluggish sales in North America and was discontinued there by 1993. NEC and Hudson would unsuccessfully follow up on the PC Engine with the 32-bit PC-FX in 1994, but the PC Engine continued to see releases in Japan until 1999.
