Initially released in Japan in the late 1980s, the FM Towns was conceived as a multimedia personal computer, focused on games and interactive applications. This volume examines the hardware’s technical features, its pioneering use of CDs as the main media, and its innovative approach of combining PC functionality with console-like capabilities.
The book provides detailed information on 532 games released for the FM Towns, including images, technical data, gameplay summaries, and historical context. It covers titles from both Japanese and Western publishers across various genres, from graphic adventures to simulators and RPGs. The content also highlights system-exclusive adaptations and games that stood out for their superior graphics and sound capabilities at the time.
Beyond the game catalog, the volume explores the FM Towns’ impact on the Japanese market and its reception abroad. It includes accounts of alternative versions of the system, such as the FM Towns Marty, and comparisons with contemporary platforms.
Part of a series that has already explored consoles like the Super NES, PlayStation, Neo Geo, Mega Drive, and various classic arcade and computer systems, FM Towns – Volume 33 offers a comprehensive resource for collectors, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of video games.
