PC Engine CD Games Collection
The PC Engine CD (known as TurboGrafx-CD in North America), launched in 1988, was the first successful CD-ROM gaming add-on in history. As an expansion for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 console, it revolutionized gaming with its massive 540MB storage capacity (compared to HuCards' mere megabytes), allowing for CD-quality audio and anime-style cutscenes. The system introduced iconic franchises like Ys and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, and was praised for its arcade-perfect ports such as Street Fighter II. While expensive initially, its later models (like the Super CD-ROM²) became more affordable. The PC Engine CD sold over 1 million units in Japan, creating a cult following for its unique library of visual novels and shoot 'em ups. Its technical innovations paved the way for CD-based gaming in the 1990s.
