FM Towns Special
The FM Towns is a Japanese personal computer, designed and manufactured by Fujitsu from 1989 to 1997. The “FM” part of the name means “Fujitsu Micro“, while the “Towns” part is derived from the code name that the system was assigned during development, “Townes”. This refers to Charles Townes, one of the winners of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics, following a custom at Fujitsu of naming PC products after Nobel Prize winners.
ColecoVision Special
The ColecoVision console was first launched in North America in August 1982, then a year later in Europe, in 1983, and offered a closer experience to arcade games of the time than many of its competitors did (such as the Atari 2600 and Mattel Intellivision).
Frankenstein Special
Simply: a collection of games based on the infamous 1818 Mary Shelley novel, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.
Atari Jaguar Special
The Atari Jaguar is a fifth-generation video game console that was first released in North America in 1993, and Europe in 1994, and is infamous for a number of reasons.
BurgerTime Special
Data East‘s classic arcade game, BurgerTime, has been converted and cloned many times since its initial release in 1982.
