101 x68000 Games - in 20 Minutes!

Ойындар

The x68000 was a Japan-exclusive personal computer released in the late 80s.
It was known to be quite expensive - but also very, very powerful; this made it a great gaming machine. Of particular note was its ability to run some amazing ports of arcade games of the time - far surpassing the quality of ports for its console siblings.
In this video, we examine 101 of the games that appeared on the system.
And for our patreon subscribers, here's the usual Steam Key!

    Really cool display. The more I have seen out of this PC the more impressed I am. And this is from the 80's. About the same time I was playing Carmen Sandiego on a CGA monitor.

    I redeemed the Steamkey: this looks like a fun game to spend some hours with -- it's TOWNSMEN: A KINGDOM REBUILT. A medieval town-building sim with a pleasing art style. Cheers, Gary!

    So many cool games in this video, and they look great! A lot of ports that look familiar from PCE & MD, but also a lot of games I've never seen before -- shmups, racers, even a couple of platformers that look rather charming. Time to do some exploring... Now that you've made videos for MSX 1/2 & x68000, probably the two most interesting on the Japanese home computer front -- what's #3? FM Towns? NEC PC's? I love the idea of finding action-game gems on these long lost JP PC's....

    It really has an incredible library; not only did it feature best-in-class arcade ports, it also featured greatly enhanced ports from other home consoles; not only that, but it also played host to ports from the IBM-PC world - *and* in addition to this, it's own extensive library of exclusive games... A great question on where to go next ... some research needs to be done!

    The sort of successor to the MSX. Shame a lot of these games are dead with it. I'd buy Nemesis 90 Kai for sure. I think I'm going to have to get Castlevania Chronicles from the JPN PSN for PS3.

    Whaaat? What is creepy about "177"? I mean, it's just a foot race game! Nothing creepy about that! (Seriously, I joke. For those who don't know -- do NOT look up "177". This game actually caused a moral panic in Japan...)

    @@bigedwerd PCs costed a lot more back then. A decent PC went for about $2500. In the early 90s, my parents bought a used 286, which was almost obsolete by then, and it still costed about $800. I’ve got the receipt to prove it. You can find scans of old computer catalogs on the internet which should give a better idea of what prices were like back then.

    It’s a shame the West never got this computer. It would’ve been awesome to have an arcade board for a PC that could play near-arcade perfect ports of just about everything from the late 80s/early 90s. The Japanese always seemed to keep the best stuff to themselves.

    Just found out this system existed. Hard to believe a lucky few had access to that gaming power in the late 80s. I wasn't playing anything remotely close until mid 90s when I got a SNES. Even then it looks like the 68000 had better ports of a lot of console games. Biggest drawback I see is the lack of a hdd. This means some games would have to be on 7+ 5.25" diskettes. Meaning a lot of "please insert disk 4" messages to interrupt the action. Would be cool to see new games developed for this now that retro gaming has made such a comeback recently.

    The vast majority of the system's game library will run off of 2MB of installed RAM. The more workstation oriented software (non-games) could vary, and the system could cap out at 12MB of total RAM with the appropriate expansions.
