We Had Amiga – Japan Had THIS

While most of us were loading games from floppy disks on our Amigas and Atari STs, Japan had something very different... Released in 1989, the Fujitsu FM Towns was a 32-bit multimedia computer with a built-in CD-ROM drive, stunning arcade conversions, incredible audio, and technology that seemed years ahead of its time. Yet despite its impressive specifications and amazing library of games, most gamers outside Japan never even knew it existed. In this episode, I finally get my FM Towns running on its original monitor after years in storage and take a deep dive into one of the most fascinating retro gaming systems ever created. We'll compare its games against the Amiga, Super Famicom, Mega Drive, PC Engine and even the legendary Sharp X68000 to see how this forgotten Japanese powerhouse really stacks up.
