What is turbografx 16?

The TurboGrafx-16, also known as the PC Engine in Japan, is a home video game console developed by Hudson Soft and NEC. It was released in 1987 in Japan and in 1989 in North America.

The TurboGrafx-16 was one of the first consoles to include a CD-ROM drive as an accessory, allowing for larger games with improved graphics and sound. The console also featured a unique "TurboTap" accessory which enabled up to five players to play simultaneously.

Some popular games for the TurboGrafx-16 include Bonk's Adventure, Splatterhouse, and Ys Book I & II.

Despite its technical capabilities and strong lineup of games, the TurboGrafx-16 struggled to compete with other consoles like the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System in the North American market. It was eventually discontinued in 1994.

The TurboGrafx-16 has since gained a cult following among retro gaming enthusiasts, with many of its games being re-released on modern platforms such as the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console and the TurboGrafx-16 Mini.
