The Legendary Axe Rocks TurboGrafx-16 – August 19th, 1989 – Today in Video Game History

August 19th, 2014

Carl Williams

When NEC launched the TurboGrafx-16 in North America they faced many challenges. For one they were slightly off as far as what gamers on this side of the pond wanted. Sega was closer and therefore outsold the NEC machine regularly. The Legendary Axe was quite the showcase title for the TurboGrafx-16. It definitely should have […]

Keith Courage in Alpha Zones TurboGrafx-16

Keith Courage Earns Packin Rights on TurboGrafx-16 – August 19th, 1989 – Today in Video Game History

August 18th, 2014

This was NEC’s answer to Altered Beast, Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. There is no arcade tie-in here (though the TurboGrafx-16 did launch with R-Type). NEC was at a disadvantage as far as arcade ports went. That didn’t stop them from trying different things such as a pinball game at launch. Keith Courage in Alpha […]

August 18th, 2014

Carl Williams

Alien Crush Unleashes Extra Terrestrials into Pinball – August 19th, 1989 – Today in Video Game History

August 18th, 2014

Carl Williams

The launch of the TurboGrafx-16 was the first, and only, foray into the North American gaming market for NEC (for more information on this see our historical look back here). NEC were pulling out all of the stops, at least as many as they could with their library of launch titles. To say NEC were […]
