I accidentally knew about the X6800 because when I was young in the Philippines, I tend to find/buy pirated PC CD's containing a lot of PC games with a side of hentai games contained in a single CD.
It's also the official development/programming kit at Capcom for a very long time, so the X68000 has perfect arcade ports of Capcom games at that time as well.Īnd since there's no parental limitations and guidelines for the system, there's also a lot of hentai games on it. It's quite a very popular system in Japan so that every serious programmer aspires to have one at it's release, if you don't have much money, buy the MSX instead. Its unknown how many X68000 units were sold in total during its commercial life span.Well to be serious the X68000 is a computer system in Japan, a higher class than the MSX, which is another Japanese computer system.
Originally released at JP¥369,000, later models were sold for considerably lower prices. Games were also distributed through the Takeru software vending machines, which allowed users to write commercial titles or dōjin soft on blank 5.25" floppy disks. Multiple revisions were later released that included several enhancements compared to the original model, with the last model being released in 1993 before being officially discontinued in the market, though games for the platform kept being created. Many add-ons were released including networking, SCSI, memory upgrades, CPU enhancements and MIDI I/O boards, among others that increased the performance of the system. The following list contains all of the known games released commercially for the X68000 platform.įeaturing an operating system written by Hudson Soft called Human68k and bundled with a conversion of Konami's 1987 arcade game Gradius as the pack-in game at launch, the X68000 was very similar to arcade system boards of the time in terms of hardware and served as the development machine for Capcom's CP System.
It was the second and last computer to be released under the Sharp brand, succeeding the X1 series. The X68000 is a fourth generation home computer developed and manufactured by Sharp Corporation, first released only in Japan on March 28, 1987.
