[[File:PCengine.jpg|thumb|The PC Engine (Japanese Model). <small>The TurboGrafx-16 had a different model.</small>]][[File:SuperGrafx-Console-Set.jpg|thumb|The PC Engine SuperGrafx.]]The '''[[gametech:TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine|PC Engine]]''' ('''PCE''') was a 16-bit system released jointly by [https[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nec |NEC] in 1990, as a collaboration between ] and [[wikipedia:Hudson Soft|Hudson Soft and NEC]] in Japan in 1987. It saw When it came time to seek other potential markets, the two companies eventually caved to a limited US American release as in 1989 under a completely different model and name: the '''[[gametech:TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine|TurboGrafx-16]]''' and support dwindled soon afterwards. Europe only got imported power-converted The European versions of either varied throughout the countries, being the US (western version in Spain, UK) or and United Kingdom and Japanese models (in Benelux regions). It could run HuCard cartridges.

The joint venture, formed in North America as TTI, made an add-on called the '''PC Engine CD''' ('''PC-CD'''), also known as the / '''TurboGrafx-CD''' in the US, was an add-on to the PC Engine system that could run CD-based loaded gamesfrom discs instead, much like the Sega CD but better supported in Japan. The '''PC Engine Duo''', also known as the / '''Turbo-Duo''' in the US, was another hardware revision that combined the original PCE and PCadd-CD hardware in one on into the unit with more RAM, as yet another failed attempt to relaunch the failing console in the West.

When it first launched in North America, the TurboGrafx-16 was largely seen as a failure blamed on poor marketing by the manufacturers. The '''PC Engine GT''', or the '''Turbo-Express''' in on the US, other hand was a very rare handheld model of the original PCE hardwarewhole different story, in beating out the same vein as [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom]] when it first came out long enough to compete against [[Super Nintendo emulators|its rival's own successor]] and gave little focus for the [[Sega Nomad (Genesis emulators|Mega Drive]] who was instead posing more of a portable Sega Genesis / Megadrive). It did include some exclusive features like the TurboLink multiplayer feature (used threat to Nintendo in a flight sim called ''Falcon'') but wasn't widely supportedNorth America.

The NEC planned to enhance the system was to receive an enhanced model with true 16-bit hardware back in 1990further, originally called announcing the "PC Engine 2" that would later become the '''PC Engine 2SuperGrafx'''. It However, it was eventually rushed to the a 1989 market only in Japan as the lacking much of its promised features with only seven titles exclusively made for it, ending up a commercial failure to be binned and discontinued not long after. The '''PC Engine SuperGrafxGT''' / '''Turbo-Express''' lacking much was a very rare handheld model of the promised featuresoriginal hardware, and was in the same vein as the Sega Nomad (a commercial failureportable Sega Genesis / Mega Drive). It was backwards compatible, and only 7 did include some exclusive games were released for itfeatures like the TurboLink multiplayer feature (used in a flight sim called ''Falcon'') but wasn't widely supported.
