Nintendo and Sega have always been considered as the two major players in the 16-bit era, particularly in Europe and North America, this was however a bit different over in Japan. Though the Nintendo Famicom remained hugely successful, it was Hudson Soft and NEC’s The TurboGrafx-16 (known in Japan and France as the PC Engine) cartridge based home video game console that emerged as their main rival, as it had superseded its other competitor the Sega MegaDrive. It was released in Japan late 1987, the United States and France in 1989 and also limited release in the United Kingdom and Spain in 1990. The TurboGrafx-16 was the first console released in the 16-bit era and the smallest ever made. Its pure aesthetics ensured that it was ranked as one of the most iconic designs in electronic entertainment history. Its unique chip-on-board media instead of cartridges were extremely durable, portable and cool, stunning arcade-quality visuals. All these cool features ultimately made the console pretty popular at the time, particularly within the Japanese gaming market. Though subsequent series of the console were made, none really stood out to compete in the Western market. 

For the time it ran, there were some pretty engaging games that came with the PC Engine that you can now still play on your PC and other devices whenever you are feeling nostalgic. All you need to do is download a TurboGrafx 16 ROMs online and commence play with the aid of an installed emulator. These ROMs are files where the original version of the PC Engine games has been saved in your device storage to enable you play on other devices aside the console. These free PC Engine ROMs have been customized to allow you to install and play games at the highest quality that is available right from your device browser.
