Find out how Hudson and NEC's mighty little console took Japan by storm in the History of the Amazing PC Engine! [Book I] and became a best seller, crushing Sega's Mega Drive and rivaling Nintendo for market dominance. Was the PC Engine 8 bit? 16 bit? Both? Why did Japan go crazy for the smallest console ever produced? Was it the first ever CD system? Was it the largest library of Shoot Em Ups in gaming history? Was it the large library of RPGs and visual novels that catered to the otaku? Was it the famous games like Castlevania Rondo of Blood and Far East of Eden? Was it their massive third party support from giants Konami, Capcom, Taito, Compile, IREM, Naxat Soft and more? Take a journey back to late 80s and early 90s Japan in Part I of the series, chronicling the rise and history of the amazing PC Engine!
