The PC Engine CD was the world’s first CD-ROM game console, which means its launch title also earned a place in history as the first game released for a CD-ROM console. That game was Fighting Street, a port of the original Street Fighter.

The soundtrack of that port was really good!

We had Fighting Street for our TurboDuo and it was so bad. Probably the worst fighting game I’ve played in my life. But, like everything, it was a beginning. What came after it told its own story.

Speaking of PC engine, I just bought Snatcher for it. There's a local video game University professor selling his consoles and games. I took the images from his listing and threw it in AI to help figure out what to grab, and it recommended Snatcher plus his neo Geo Pocket color

The game in general was a stepping stone of what the FGC (fighting game community) is today. I don't believe there was much balance in damage calculation as you can end a fight within 2 to 3 seconds.

International got the better CD label =) Our U.S. release is very plain. Playing it the right way too with an arcade stick (Turbo Stick was the ideal peripheral back then) I'd have blisters forming within 5 minutes of using the gamepad just trying to throw a hadouken!

Alpha System/Hudson Soft did a great job with this conversion. The main miss was not improving the control.

Let me introduce the PC Engine GT, a game console that was released one year after the Game Boy. Its performance was so impressive that it cost nearly six times more than the Game Boy. What’s amazing is that it had the same specs as the home console PC Engine, (1/2)

The PC Engine was so expensive in the late ’80s and early ’90s that it was hard to find even in the homes of well-off friends. On top of that, it had one of the first CD-ROM add-ons, which made it feel incredibly high-tech at the time. Because of its larger storage capacity, many arcade games were ported to it, and the CD-quality audio was absolutely amazing. The real issue, though, was the price. You had to buy everything separately—the PC Engine itself, the CD interface (docking unit), the CD-ROM drive, the system card, and the game CDs.

A few days ago marked the 35th anniversary of the PC Engine Duo. It combined the PC Engine and CD-ROM² into a single console, offering incredible performance compared to its competitors at the time, the Mega Drive and Super Famicom. The PC Engine was released overseas under the name TurboGrafx-16, but perhaps because the system wasn’t fully prepared for the overseas market, far fewer games were released compared to Japan, which was a shame. As a CD-based console, it delivered things that simply weren’t possible with cartridges at the time—spectacular opening sequences, impressive graphics, and incredible CD-quality music and sound. It truly felt like something from another world back then, and even today, it still looks and sounds amazing.

In the late 1980s, South Korea saw the release of its first console game system, the Daewoo Zemmix. A game called Super Boy, which was a copy of Super Mario, was released for this system. (1/2)

The PC Engine was an 8-bit console that was designed with CD-ROM support in mind from the very beginning. It also used a very unique add-on system. The PC Engine and the CD-ROM drive were completely separate devices, and you even had to purchase a separate interface unit to connect the two and play CD-ROM games. Because you needed to buy all of these components, the total cost was quite expensive at the time. I never actually saw one in person back then, but even today, I think the build quality, design, and especially the modular add-on concept look incredibly sophisticated. What’s even cooler is that the CD-ROM drive could also be used as an add-on with NEC computers. Pretty cool, right?

NEC, the company behind the PC Engine, was well known for creating cutting-edge devices. From the first CD-ROM game system to portable LCD monitors, they released products that drove gamers crazy. Even after nearly 35 years, the hardware still feels premium.

March 7, 1991 was the day the arcade version of Street Fighter II appeared, and this year marks its 35th anniversary. It was the game that sparked the fighting game boom. I first learned about the existence of the Super Famicom through the news that Street Fighter II was coming to it. By the way, it’s really funny that the back of the Korean release of Street Fighter II shows screenshots from Final Fight instead of the actual game. 😄

When you look at games on the PC Engine and Neo Geo—arguably the most powerful 8-bit and 16-bit consoles—it can honestly feel overwhelming. Fatal Fury Special was ported to the PC Engine CD, and at that level, it’s fair to call it an almost perfect conversion. The Super Famicom version suffered from hardware limitations and was handled by Takara, a different company, so the results weren’t particularly impressive. In contrast, the PC Engine CD version of Fatal Fury Special was developed directly by SNK as a test case for CD-based game production before the release of the Neo Geo CD, which explains its exceptionally high level of quality.

There was a device called Wondermega, which combined the Mega Drive and the Mega-CD into a single unit. Considering that the PlayStation 5 disc model launched at 75,000 yen, it’s shocking that the Wondermega was released back in 1992 for 90,000 yen. When I was young, I never once saw anyone who actually owned one. One of the Wondermega’s most distinctive features was its motorized CD lid that opened and closed automatically—absolutely magical at the time. Other than that, it didn’t really have any standout features. There was a Mega-CD game released under the name Final Fight CD. Unlike the Super Famicom version—which lacked two-player support and didn’t include Guy—this version was ported at a level that was almost identical to the arcade original. I’d say it’s probably the most popular title in the entire Mega-CD library.

I used to play Street Fighter II all the time, but the first time I saw Art of Fighting, the visual impact was unbelievable. The characters filled the entire screen, fighting with overwhelming intensity. And when the distance between them increased, the screen would dynamically zoom out — that effect felt absolutely revolutionary at the time. It was stunning. On top of that, the facial damage system was incredibly realistic. The more you got hit, the more your character’s face would swell and bruise. It added a level of immersion that I had never experienced before. And did you know? The concept of the “super move” was first introduced in Art of Fighting. That was the legendary Ryuko Ranbu. When your life gauge was almost empty, you could unleash it and turn the tide of battle in a single moment. That comeback mechanic felt amazing. Oh, and if I remember correctly, this was also the very first “100 Mega Shock” game. The game was later ported to the SNES, Sega Genesis, and PC Engine CD. Among them, the PC Engine version was surprisingly faithful to the arcade original.

Let me introduce “Kung Fu”, one of the early titles for the PC Engine. It was a launch title for the system and was promoted for its impressively large character sprites. Back then, it was hard to achieve this level of impact and visual power on an 8-bit console.

In 1994, the first 32-bit next-generation console appeared, and it was the 3DO. What surprised me the most was that Super Street Fighter II X, which was hugely popular in arcades at the time, was available on this system. I still remember standing in a game shop, completely mesmerized, staring at that game for a long time. I was really hoping it would come out on the Super Famicom too, but maybe because of hardware limitations, it never did. That made it even more shocking. By the way, the model I’m talking about is the 3DO ALIVE 2 made by LG Electronics. For a lot of foreign friends, this is probably something they’ve never seen before.

You can enjoy retro games as they were, but at the same time, there are various attempts that take advantage of modern technology. Virtua Fighter 4 Final Tuned was originally released on GD-ROM (similar to a CD but with a 1GB capacity), (1/2)

R-Type was famous for its stunning graphics and was one of the most impressive shoot ’em ups of its time. Most people know the PC Engine port, but it was also released on the much less capable MSX hardware. Back then, when the hardware gap was too large, developers often had to heavily rearrange the game to make it work. However, the MSX version really stands out for its effort to stay as faithful to the arcade original as possible.

Among all the games released on the PlayStation, I think Final Fantasy VII was truly the greatest. There had been cinematic games before, but the visual quality of this game was on a completely different level compared to anything that had come before it. Maybe this was also the moment when game developers first fell into the AAA trap, struggling with blockbuster-level development costs. Personally, Final Fantasy VII was the most visually shocking console game I had ever experienced.

As a huge fan of the Virtua Fighter series, I was eagerly waiting for Virtua Fighter 5 to hit the arcades. Unfortunately, Sega didn’t sell the arcade hardware and instead operated it through a rental system, so outside of Japan, the game was nearly impossible to find in arcades. Thankfully, with the huge leap in performance of the PS3 and Xbox 360, Virtua Fighter 5 received the first truly complete console port in the series. I remember having so much fun playing it back then. Sadly, in Korea, the Tekken series was so widely available in arcades that very few people even knew about Virtua Fighter 5. It’s a shame that such a great game slowly faded into obscurity. Eventually, the series seemed to lose its momentum, and I thought we would never see a new Virtua Fighter again. So you can imagine how happy I was when Sega announced that they were working on a new entry. Is there anyone out there who has been waiting for a new Virtua Fighter as long as I have?
