FM Towns Marty.

Launched with a CD-ROM drive like 2 years before PS1/Saturn, and was sort of a strange mix of 4th and 5th gen technology.

Was only available in Japan, and only sold 45,000 units.

Is it really a 4th/5th gen system with a controller with just 2 main buttons  other than a directional input and the start/select buttons? That looks strange.

Or does it have more buttons, just not shown in the picture?

4th gen but at the very end of it. 2D machine. Had a single shoulder button but I don't know if it worked similarly to the Genesis Mode button or a genuine 3rd input.
