Description

The PC-FX is a 32-bit home video game console co-developed by NEC and Hudson Soft. Released in December 1994, it is based on the NEC V810 CPU and CD-ROM, and was intended as the successor to the PC Engine (known overseas as the TurboGrafx-16). Unlike its predecessor, the PC-FX was only released in Japan.

Its form factor is like that of a tower PC, intended to be similarly upgradeable. The PC-FX was uncompelling in the marketplace due to lack of a 3D polygon-based graphics chip, high price, and limited developer support and is considered a commercial failure. It was discontinued in February 1998 and NEC subsequently exited the home video game console business.

Details from sources

NEC PC card that adds an extra 3D chipset (Kubota/Hudson HuC6273) and PC-FX compatibility to NEC PC-9800 (two-card set) or DOS/V (single ISA card) computers; outputs to a separate video connection rather than through the host PC's own display. Sold worse than the PC-FX console itself (en.wikipedia).
