FM Towns



The FM Towns is a nice Japanese computer made by Fujitsu in 1989, which was compatible with IBM PC's and used CD medium for games. Though it had great potential, it just couldn't compete with the popular PC-98 and it's legion of hentai games. Later on Fujitsu re-released it in console form, named FM Towns Marty, in an attempt to enter the console market, but it just didn't work. One problem is that some games would only work on the regular FM Towns, while others would only work on the Marty.

Almost all of it's games are either PC or Arcade conversions, which are near perfect and many of which were never converted to other systems. You could count on one hand's fingers the number of exclusives, however.
