Here comes the NEC PC-FX! The failed successor console to the NEC PC Engine. It absolutely bombed when it was released and is probably the worst follow up to a successful console sales wise that has ever been introduced...retro gaming oopsies!

But that doesn't mean it doesn't have good games!

Up last: An examination as to why the NEC PC-FX failed. As far as retro gaming goes the PC-FX was one of the biggest failures imaginable, especially after the success NEC and Hudson had with the PC-Engine / TurboGrafx 16. So why did it fail? Lets find out! Because when it comes to retrogaming the PC-FX was a failure!
