The PC Engine (The Turbografx-16 outside of Japan) was completely different than the PS1. I was there. I had the Turbografx-16. I encourage you to read in depth about the history of the N64 and the video game market at that time. |
I have probably read more about that period of gaming than you have. I've also read enough to not buy into all established dogma about that period.
Turbografx was easy to program and had a cheap storage medium, IE, it was very similar to the PS1. The biggest difference was the Nintendo and Sega didn't make any big mistakes back then.
Fast forward and you had a Saturn that was built to be an expensive 2D machine without a Sonic game, and a Nintendo that only wanted an elite "Dream Team" of companies to develop for them. Plus a Sony that despite the industry initially being suspicious of them, pushed hard and managed to get many lucky victories.
I LOVE ICELAND!
