Just doesn't have any must-play exclusives for me.
I watched some Team Innocent videos for a bit and it seems like an alright adventure game, kind of Resident Evil-ish, but nothing too special.

Oh I am not expecting some amazing hidden masterpiece the system itself kind of fascinates it seems like such a hack job I don't understand how NEC thought this could compete unless they were all coked up.

But it's got a bunch of strategy games which interests me.
Anything I should know? Is the system prone to malfunction and about how much should I pay for one.

The big deal about the PC-FX was its expandability. They could have released a new 3D card every few years and keep it a cutting edge console.
It might have worked if they released it in 1992 and established a user base before the PS1 and Saturn came out.

"NEC directed Hudson Soft, with whom they continued their partnership over the PC Engine, to develop only games based on popular anime franchises and using prerendered animated footage. Though this policy played to the hardware's strengths, it barred Hudson Soft from bringing successful PC Engine series such as Bomberman and Bonk to the PC-FX."

Is that true? That's fucking retarded no wonder it failed.

As far as I know the anime strategy only come into full swing in 1995.
Bomberman and PC-Genjin/Denjin worked with animated footage so it shouldn't have been an obstacle.
You'd have to read the quoted magazine to know for sure.

Any way to mod it for component output? PC-FX uses updated NEC video chip that doesn't output RGB, modding it same way as PC Engine is impossible. But seems like it can output YUV

>You're still better off with a Saturn.
Yeah that was the thing. All I cared about was 2D pretty girl games and I still just got a Saturn. Saturn had more PC98 ports than the PCFX did. Not to mention Sega-sponsored anime titles like Rayearth and Nadesico. PCFX didn't even get a Tokimemo port like SS and PS. And Saturn got a real Tengai Makyou RPG while PCFX just got that goofy FMV fighter.
I was expecting the PCFX to be the next PC Engine but instead we got nothing.

There's a couple of ports with unique traits are worth noting if you're a huge fan of the series I guess. Power Dolls FX is kinda unique, mixing elements from other games and the OVA, and it was the first voiced Power Dolls game. Pia Carrot 1 on PCFX is I think the only version of the game with both uncensored graphics and voiced dialog (unless that ended up voiced on Windows eventually?).

The only thing it has over the Saturn is nipples in the HCG and some male voices. Meanwhile the Saturn has an extra route and more FMV.

The CD versions of Power Dolls had voice acting. Or at least the Towns had

I don't really understand the PC-FXGA.
It's a card that interfaces with your computer and lets you play PC-FX games as well as provide 3D acceleration for PC98 and PC/AT games.
At that point those were so diverged from each other that selling two separate cards sounds more reasonable.

Oh god I bought the PS version of this.
It had Sugiyama Genshou art and great voices like Tange Sakura, what could go wrong?

It has hardly any voiced lines in it!

It's a voice actress game. It's got "Voice" in the fucking title. The first thing you do in the game is pick the actress you want to play each character. And then...you only hear voices every now and then when an FMV plays, not for the main dialog. Also everything else about it sucked too.
The illustrations are nice I guess.
