Known
as PC Engine in Japan and Turbo Graphx 16 in the USA.
The PC Engine was first to use card based games called HuCards. It
was also the first Console to have a CD addon well before the MEga
CD appeared. For its time the PC Engine provided near arcade quality
games with titles such as R-type and Street Fighter. Bomberman was
first written for the PC Engine and a Multitap is available for up
to 5 players. The PC Engine also provided upgrades in the form of
Addon Cards which added more memory.
