These include Puzzle Bobble, Janshin Densetsu ( a Mahjong game also released for the PC Engine ), Power Spike II, Neo Drift Out and Futsal-5-on-5 Mini Soccer.

* 1987 – In Japan, NEC releases the first 16-bit ( fourth generation ) video game console, the PC Engine, which was later sold in other markets under the name TurboGrafx-16.

It is the 32-bit successor to NEC's PC Engine ( known in the US as the TurboGrafx-16 ).

Iron Man was designed in 1992, while the PC Engine was still quite popular in Japan.

Many PC Engine developers seemed upset and uninterested since the PC Engine market was still growing, and as a result NEC halted work on the Iron Man and continued making modifications to the PC Engine.

Now in a rush to keep the large development base that made the PC Engine so successful, NEC had to make a decision.

A fairly accurate port of R-Type was released for the PC Engine and TurboGrafx 16 consoles, although both versions suffered from a slightly lower resolution, reduced colour palette, sprite flickering and slow down-due to the slightly reduced resolution, the playfield also scrolls slightly in the vertical axis whenever the player's ship approaches the top or bottom of the screen.

The Japanese release for the PC Engine was split across two game cards ( HuCards ) titled R-Type I and R-Type II and the later North American release for the TurboGrafx 16 contained the entire game on a single card.

The PC Engine version of R-Type is notable for having a boss at the end of Stage 6, rather than a prolonged wave of enemies as in all other versions.

The Mega-CD was designed to compete with the PC Engine CD ( TurboGrafx-16 CD ) in Japan, which had a separate CD-ROM drive.

Seeing the technology already in use for laserdisc classic arcade, and even a few titles on the PC Engine, video seemed to be the best choice at the time.

With dimensions of 14 cm × 14 cm × 3. 8 cm ( 5. 5in × 5. 5in × 1. 5in ), the NEC PC Engine holds the record for the world's smallest game console ever made.

Although there was no full-scale PAL region release of the system, imported PC Engine consoles were largely available in France and Benelux through major retailers thanks to the unlicensed importer Sodipeng ( Société de Distribution de la PC Engine, a subsidiary of Guillemot International ).< ref >

SCUMM has been released on the following platforms: 3DO, Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, CDTV, Commodore 64, Fujitsu Towns & Marty, Apple Macintosh, Nintendo Entertainment System, DOS, Microsoft Windows, Sega Mega-CD and TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine.

The original AIX ( sometimes called AIX / RT ) was developed for the IBM 6150 RT workstation by IBM in conjunction with Interactive Systems Corporation, who had previously ported UNIX System III to the IBM PC for IBM as PC / IX.

A similar solution was the 850 kbit / s DaynaTalk, a separate box which plugged in between the computer and a normal LocalTalk / PhoneNet box, and also offered as a PC expansion card that ran up to 1. 7 Mbit / s.

These included updates to EtherTalk and TokenTalk, AppleTalk software and LocalTalk hardware for the IBM PC, EtherTalk for Apple's A / UX operating system allowing it to use LaserPrinters and other network resources, and the Mac X. 25 and MacX products.

This signal would be fed into the sound card audio input of the PC, and Banpaia would decode the ESN / MIN pair from this signal and display it on the screen.

This drive was one of several types installed into the IBM PC / XT and extensively advertised and reported as a " 10 MB " ( formatted ) hard disk drive.

In IBM PC compatible computers, the Basic Input / Output System ( BIOS ), also known as the system BIOS or ROM BIOS (), is a de facto standard defining a firmware interface.

The BIOS then locates boot loader software held on a peripheral device ( designated as a ' boot device '), such as a hard disk or a CD / DVD, and loads and executes that software, giving it control of the PC.

Before going further with serious experimentation, it can be convenient to check one ’ s programs at the PC using a suitable cross-assembler, such as the portable PDP-8 / DG Nova cross-assembler listed in the External links section, before attempting execution in the RDOS environment.

The shopping service at launch featured WH Smith, Tesco, Virgin / Our Price, Great Universal Stores / GUS, Interflora, Dixons Retail, Past Times, PC World ( retailer ) and Innovations.

It was announced in September 1988 by a consortium of PC clone vendors ( the " Gang of Nine ") as a counter to IBM's use of its proprietary Micro Channel architecture ( MCA ) in its PS / 2 series.

EISA extends the AT bus, which the Gang of Nine retroactively renamed to the ISA bus to avoid infringing IBM's trademark on its PC / AT computer, to 32 bits and allows more than one CPU to share the bus.

The PC / AT, introduced in 1984, had three 8-bit slots and five 16-bit slots, all running at the system clock speed of 6 MHz in the earlier models and 8 MHz in the last version of the computer.

Although his career in computing spanned more than two decades, he is mainly remembered in connection with IBM's unsuccessful attempt in 1980 to license CP / M for the IBM PC.

IBM approached Digital Research in 1980, at Bill Gates ' suggestion, to negotiate the purchase of a forthcoming version of CP / M called CP / M-86 for the IBM PC.

Versions were made for the Apple Macintosh, Commodore Amiga, IBM PC, SNES and TurboGrafx-16, which was also subsequently re-released on the Wii Virtual Console.

They have been a popular developer in Japan with games like Photoboy for the TurboGrafx-16 and In the Hunt for the arcades, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and PC.

Bonk 3: Bonk's Big Adventure ( PC Genjin 3 ) was released for the TurboGrafx-16 as 2 versions in 1993: a TurboChip ( cartridge ) version and a Super CD-ROM version, the latter of which featured an updated redbook audio soundtrack.

The TurboExpress or PC Engine GT ( Game Tank ) in Japan was a portable version of the TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine ( video game console ), released by NEC in 1990 for $ 249. 99 ( the price was briefly raised to $ 299. 99, soon dropped back to $ 249. 99, and by 1992 it was $ 199. 99 ).

* There is an entry in the series titled Space Fantasy Zone that was to have been officially released on the NEC PC Engine ( TurboGrafx-16 ) around the year 1990 that was to have finally bridged the gap between the Fantasy Zone series and the Space Harrier series by having a gameplay similar to Space Harrier, but have the layouts of the stages directly based on their Fantasy Zone counterparts.
