Launched in 1989, the Hudson Soft Turbo Grafx-16 was a pioneering console that brought high-resolution graphics and CD-quality sound to living rooms worldwide. With its powerful 16-bit RISC processor and innovative VCD (Video CD) capabilities, it offered an unparalleled gaming experience at the time. The Turbo Grafx-16 boasted an impressive library of games, including Bonk's Adventure, Splatterhouse, and Dennou Boukenki Virtual Worlds, which showcased its capabilities in terms of graphics, sound, and gameplay.
