TurboGs

TurboGs, also known as TurboGrafx-16 or PC Engine, is a 16-bit home video game console developed by NEC Home Electronics and Hudson Soft. It was released in Japan in 1987 and in North America in 1989. The console is notable for its unique CD-ROM add-on, the TurboGrafx-CD, which was released in 1990. TurboGs games are known for their distinctive graphics and sound, which were ahead of their time for a 16-bit console.

The TurboGrafx-16 was designed to compete with the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It featured a custom CPU, the HuC6280, and a custom GPU, the VDC. The console had a library of over 400 games, including popular titles such as "Castlevania: Rondo of Blood," "Mega Man X," and "Street Fighter II." The TurboGrafx-CD added CD-ROM capabilities to the console, allowing for larger game sizes and improved graphics and sound.

Despite its innovative features, the TurboGrafx-16 and TurboGrafx-CD did not achieve widespread success in the United States. The console was discontinued in 1994, and its popularity has since waned. However, it has gained a cult following among retro gaming enthusiasts. The console's unique design and the quality of its games have led to a resurgence in interest, with many games being released on modern platforms and emulators.
