NEC PC-FX

NEC's PC-FX was meant to be the successor to the TurboGrafx-16... but then again, after the SuperGrafx crashed and burned, one can only wonder why they even bothered. The hardware was outdated right out of the gate: just as people were drooling for the PlayStation's 3D power, this thing came out with no 3D support whatsoever, yet very good full motion video capabilities. Now what kind of games could come out for such a machine? Quite obviously: tons of anime-based interactive movies and point-and-click adventures. This was the otaku's system of choice, but there is little for anyone else.
The list

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Chip-Chan Kick! | Platformer | Fun platformer similar to Bubble Bobble, you play with a magical gurl with a slime pal which she tosses to stun enemies. This being a PC-FX game, it has a handful of anime cutscenes, with a bit of lolicon for whatever reason. |

|
Choujin Heiki Zeroigar | Shoot 'em Up | The only shmup on the PC-FX (and the PC-FX was supposed to be the successor to the PC Engine, the king of shmps. Go Figure). A nice effort overall, with lots of, you guessed it, anime cutscenes. | Link | 
|
|
Der Langrisser FX | Strategy | A very complex war strategy game, this is an updated port of Der Langrisser (SNES), which in turn was an updated port of Langrisser II (Mega Drive). Now with enhanced sprites and 100% more anime cutscenes! Too bad this one has no translation yet (but the other versions do). |

|
Kishin Douji Zenki FX: Vajra Fight | Beat 'em Up | The single best game on the PC-FX, it's an anime licensed beat 'em up with amazing sprites and fast action. Of course it has it's fair share of anime cutscenes, but thankfully they aren't as intrusive as in other games for this system. |

Pia Carrot e Youkoso!! (Welcome to Pia Carrot!!) |
Dating Sim, VN, eroge | Be a loser who just barely managed to finish high school, spend the summer working at your family's restaurant. But in your spare time you can still go out and chase some tail. And how you work changes stats that will help you go after different girls. This is a full-blown adult game with frontal nudity. Review. |
