@monsterblue this is a coregrafx, the second revision of the hardware, but it's in the same exact case as the original pc-engine
it's so tiny that when they made the turbografx-16, the north american version, they put it in a substantially bigger case just so it would look More Powerful, but it's all the same hardware so it's just a 90% empty case

@monsterblue also i guess calling it contemporary with the NES is a bit misleading, it came out a few years after the NES but still a while before the SNES, and a year before the genesis

@monsterblue the PC-engine was a really powerful system for its time
it wasn't truly 16 bit, was kind of a hybrid of 8- and 16-bit architecture, but it had a pretty strong edge on the competition considering it was contemporary with the NES and substantially more powerful
also it's tiny, let me go get a picture to show you how tiny this thing is
