Here we go with another look at a Japan exclusive machine - this time, the FM Towns.

The FM Towns was a "personal computer" (not a game console) - produced by Fujitsu, starting in 1989. Similar to the Sharp x68000, it was very powerful and expensive when compared to the consoles at the time.

The hardware was based on Intel's 386 processor's making it very similar to standard IBM PC builds at the time. It had a standard CD-ROM, being one of the first platforms to natively embrace the new growing trend of "multimedia"

In 1993, Fujitsu released the FM-Towns Marty - which was essentially, a console version of the platform; no keyboard and monitor, but meant to be played with gamepads and plugged into a TV. It was. however, backward compatible with the existing FM Towns library.

As a gaming platform, it drew lots of attention from developers who produced many RPGs/Visual Novels/Adventures - much of which was adult-themed erotic gaming ("eroge"). As a matter of fact, a significant amount of the platform's library is indeed "eroge".

Aside from these RPGs/Visual Novels/adventures, the platform played host to mostly ports from other systems. There were quite a few very impressive ports of arcade hits; but more interestingly, due to the platform's similarity to a standard IBM PC, many MS-DOS ports appeared; often in improved form! For example, Lucasart's classic "Zak McKracken" was originally released only in 16-color EGA on MS-DOS. The FM-Towns version supported full 256 color graphics and enhanced sound effects!

Note that wherever possible, I've tried to specify the developer of each title; if not possible, I've listed the publisher instead.
