Embrace the CD Era with PC Engine CD-ROM²
The PC Engine CD-ROM² is an innovative add-on for the PC Engine console, released in Japan in 1988. Developed by NEC in partnership with Hudson Soft, it holds the distinction of being the first video game console to utilize CD-ROM technology as its primary storage medium.
This groundbreaking CD-ROM² system significantly expanded gaming possibilities, allowing for much larger games with vastly enhanced audio capabilities, including CD-quality music and full voice acting. This technological leap enabled developers to craft more ambitious and cinematic gaming experiences.
The system achieved particular success in Japan, where it fiercely competed against Nintendo's Famicom. Its pioneering adoption of CD-ROM technology would later influence the entire gaming industry, effectively paving the way for future CD-based consoles across the globe.
