The PC-Engine launched way back in 1987 on this very day, October 30th. Over the years, it saw countless revisions until it was finally discontinued in 1995. It certainly isn’t the most successful console, but in the hearts of retro gamers everywhere, this thing is a bit of a legend.

So yeah, if you have a PC-Engine, Turbografx or whatever, bust it out today and play something in honor of this retro legend.
