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.

This console had a 32bit AMD 386SX CPU @16MHZ. - 2MB System Ram + 640Kb Video Ram + 128Kb Sprite Ram.
Pretty ahead of it's time in retrospect.- Could even do 3D graphics, unfortunately due to the lack of sales we never saw the hardware truly taken advantage of.

Cool stuff; capability wise how did it compare to systems like the Jaguar, PS2, Saturn?
