	Dark Watcher's Console History
		The PC Engine was immensely popular in Japan, outselling the Famicom by a significant margin.
		NEC stopped distributing Supergrafx when they saw their PC Engine was still selling well.
		NEC was also introducing games, titles, and characters that American players simply weren’t familiar with, and many truly excellent games were either ignored outright, or subject to Nintendo's "exclusive licensing" policy that was in effect at the time.

	PC Engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PC Engine was a collaborative effort between Japanese software maker Hudson Soft (which maintains a chip-making division) and NEC.
		The PC Engine was extremely popular in Japan, besting Nintendo's Famicom in sales soon after its release, with no fewer than twelve systems released from 1987 to 1993, and new games released as recently as 1999.
		NEC made one final effort to resuscitate the system with the release of the Arcade Card expansion, bringing the total amount of RAM up to a then-massive 2048K; many Arcade Card games were conversions of popular Neo-Geo titles.

	TurboGrafx 16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its Japanese equivalent was the PC Engine GT.
		NEC of Japan had great success within Japan by concentrating their promotion and marketing focus on only the largest cities in the country.
		By 1991 Sega Genesis had clearly surpassed the TurboGrafx-16, putting NEC's console in a distant fourth place in the overall video game market (Nintendo held the #2 and 3 places with the brand new SNES and aging but still potent NES).

	Pcenginefx.com - What are NEC Consoles?
		NEC released the first 16-Bit video game console called the PC-Engine (which had nothing to do with the IBM/PC by the way).
		Within two years of launch, the PC-Engine dominated the Japanese market, outselling the Famicom (and later the Mega Drive/Genesis) and it was at this time that NEC announced that they were going to bring the console to US shores.
		NEC created a new company called TTi (Turbo Technologies Inc.) which were made up of employee’s from both NEC and Hudson Soft to redesign the TG-16/CD combo into one unit...the result was the TurboDuo.

		The PC Engine is a 8-16 bits console which had quite a great success in Japan from 1986, roughly, until early 90's.

		Once again, rumors are floating around: Nintendo and NEC are going to break up, Nintendo and Sega are planning completly new systems codenamed the "Ultra Famicom" and "Neptune" respectively, another company thinks about entering the console market.
		PC software monopolist Microsoft announces the "Xbox" system in February, planned release is Summer 1999.
		Sporting the best hardware from the PC world, fitted into a console-like case and sold for just slightly more than Ultra 64 and Neptune, it's a crushing instant success like the MegaDrive about 10 years ago.

		With the arrival of the Game Boy and Lynx in 1989, NEC was determined not to miss out on the rapidly expanding handheld market and set to work on its own portable marvel - the PC Engine GT.
		NEC had ensured that the GT would be compatible with practically every previous (and future) PC Engine title.
		Unfortunately for NEC, the Turbo Express (as it was known in the US) found itself up against some stiff competition, and it wasn't helped by its $299 price tag that immediately put it out of reach of all but the most hardcore gamers.

		The PC Engine was and is the smallest video game console, due primarily to a very efficient three-chip architecture and its use of HuCards, credit-card sized data cartridges.
		Several of the PC Engine systems and its US- and Europe-released counterparts are possibly the most commonly misspelled video game systems of all time.
		The PC Engine and its derivatives were never officially sold in Europe, although many systems and most accessories and games were available as imports.

	SuperGrafx Extreme - Introduction
		The console was designed and marketed by NEC with the sole purpose of eliminating Nintendo's Super Famicom as competition for NEC's own PC Engine.
		This discrepancy led to NEC grabbing a large share of what was once Nintendo's market.
		After the eventual demise of the PC Engine at the hands of the Super Famicom and Mega Drive, the SuperGrafx was all but forgotten.

		But some fool in NEC's American side of the company seemed too afraid that American gamers wouldn't identify with a game that was too "Japanese," and so most of those games never made it stateside.
		NEC had a the potential to be #1 here in the US but fucked it all up.
		I suppose NEC felt that it had to compete graphically with the Genesis and so stuck all it's manpower in that area.

		The Supergrafx was released as the successor to the then very popular PC Engine.
		PC Engine fans were still very happy with their Duos, so very few bothered buying the very expensive supergrafx.

		From: UK There is an NEC PC Engine that's just gone on sale in my local video game store.
		It looks like a proper add-on, though it is a completely different colour (almost fl) to the main PC Engine itself.
		Therefore in length it's the same size as the PC Engine, and in breadth it adds about two inches to the console's size.
