A community for vintage gaming, celebrating games for hardware released before the year 2000. The PC Engine was truly ahead of its time. I mean just saying that as it’s hard to believe that it came at a time when most game systems were still using cartridges, but then NEC came up with the idea to make a game system that uses CDs.
