NEC's PC-FX was meant to be the successor to the TurboGrafx-16... but then again, after the SuperGrafx crashed and burned, one can only wonder why they even bothered. The hardware was outdated right out of the gate: just as people were drooling for the PlayStation's 3D power, this thing came out with no 3D support whatsoever, yet very good full motion video capabilities. Now what kind of games could come out for such a machine? Quite obviously: tons of anime-based interactive movies and point-and-click adventures. This was the otaku's system of choice, but there is little for anyone else.
