	FM Towns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name "FM Towns" is derived from the codename the system was assigned while in development, "Townes"; this was chosen as an homage to Charles Hard Townes, one of the winners of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics, following a custom of Fujitsu at the time to codename PC products after Nobel prize winners.
		The FM Towns featured video modes ranging from 320×240 to 640×480, with 16 to 32768 simultaneous colours out of a possible 4096 to 16.7 million (depending on the video mode); most of these video modes had two memory pages, and it allowed the use of up to 1024 sprites of 16×16 pixels each.
		The FM Towns system was able to play regular audio CDs, and also supported the use of eight PCM voices and six FM channels, thanks to Ricoh RF5C68 and Yamaha YM-2612 chipsets, respectively.

		I believe that Loom CD for the FM Towns was an "intermediate step" between the floppy disk 16 color version and the VGA CD version with full voice.
		Also, the FM Towns Loom demo's background dimensions are the same as those in Zak256 and Indy3; does this mean that in Loom FM Towns all dialogue appears in a message box at the top of the screen like in the other two games?
		It may be 10 on the FM Towns; I'm not sure.

		The fm towns is compatible with most of the Fujitsu line of computers, so it uses the 3.5" slot to play many of the games developed for these computers.
		The system's CD reader is used mainly to play games made specifically for FM Towns, although some computer software from the time also came in CD format and canbe used too.
		The FM Towns is one of the Japanese game systems that I remember from Japan (the X68000 and PC-98 computers are the others).

		At least three different versions of the system were made: the technology inside was the same but they featured few cosmetic differences (the most important one was the color: light gray, dark gray and fl).
		It seems that the three versions were also called differently: Marty, Marty 2 and Marty 3.
		I suspect the three versions were based on three different revisions of the motherboard made to cut prices.

		And there is always a speed impact when using any form of anti-aliasing/linear filtering.
		Note #3: The Fm Towns version of Zak (zaktowns target) uses an original resolution of 320x240 - hence for this game scalers will scale to 640x480 or 960x720.
		If you ARE using MIDI, you have several different choices of output, depending on your operating system and configuration.
