There was something definitely missing with the PC-FX. The TG-16/PC-Engine will always remain one of my favorite game systems of all time. I remember winning one over the radio a month before they were officially released in the States. Even though the system didn't last as long in the states, its popularity overseas couldn't be denied and that just drew me into wanting to know more about the system in general. I jumped on the CD attachment when went on sale, even purchased the infamous "barney converter" when I learned about how you could play Japanese imports on it. Nothing but wonderful memories.
I never had any of t he actual PC-FX hardware, but I did get a chance to try out some of the games. With the exception of two titles, I just thought the overall experience wasn't as special or exciting. Probably because I became more obsessed with actual arcade game play (especially fighters) and having near perfect home translations. The PC-FX didn't have a lot of arcade titles from what I could remember, and even to this day I don't understand enough Japanese to play some of the imported titles and know what's actually happening.
