By Donna Ward


If we have been indulging ourselves in gaming by staying indoors, then we probably would have experienced being encouraged by parents that we better socialize with people outside the house. Let us agree that we sometimes prefer that way for the sake of resting from moving around and avoiding stress yet we are also aware that a long duration of it is unhealthy. The point is what we had been utilizing also has an interesting background that every gamer should know about.

Whenever something is released, different experiences shall come into association but that still depends on how people handle everything. It is similar to some playing machines that gamers are familiar with especially the newly released ones. For a more detailed information, let us take time in learning the historical background of PC game releases and engine. Be wary that engines have contributed a lot actually.

I bet not all were aware that this PC engine made it to the Guinness world record. First of all, we have the Japanese people to thank for in making this successful since its appearance in 1987 by October. Most consoles today continue to increase their sizes whereas this one won the smallest home console globally.

In terms of supporting the CD games, this was actually the primary proponent of it. Let us take the prominence of Nintendo, it was on the 1990s era when CDs have dominated the world. In 1988, the CD ROM player which was an add on was implemented. Having a nice sound quality and a larger storage were some of its features.

Consoles of sixteen bit were another wow factor which this had started. It might be small yet it still has interesting features. This led to the invention of eight and the sixteen bit GPU. It became prominent as well. A notable fact would be how this became dominant than the Sega Mega Drive for a year.

This may be included in the many earlier consoles that went online. The NEC provided wonderful ideas to the system and they innovated the modem as well. This could have connected on systems on the early web yet its modem never really became that known. However, there were prototypes on sale out there.

When cartridges had been introduced, these were even smaller than its engines. Expect its size to be like a credit card. Those were not the well known tiny cartridges yet the design was memorable for sure.

Sega ported some games to those systems too. Some of the really popular ones were the Golden Axe, After Burner, Fantasy Zone, or Out Run. Truth is they made that better by giving improvements and enhancements which resulted to having its fans liking the new versions instead.

Unfortunately, it was beaten by the popularity of Mega Drive in the United States. It might have been successful for quite some time until competitors had dominated the industry. That has been the challenge for companies these days because competition can really affect the business.
