The Day I Betrayed My Famicom
The author had loved the Famicom since elementary school. Why did he so easily cheat on it with the PC Engine, make it his wife, and play it every day?
How I Became Obsessed with the PC Engine
In 1987, many Famicom players were getting bored with Famicom games. The graphics were often simple, and the animation was not very smooth. The graphics were outdated and the gameplay were repetitive. No wonder many players got bored.
At that time,it appeared on the gaming scene. What is this? I"ve never seen graphics like this before.
I tracked down a classmate who was rumored to own a PC Engine and asked him to lend it to me, but he refused. So I changed my approach and decided to become friends with him first.
Surprisingly, we soon started hanging out almost every day at a nearby shrine and other places. Before I knew it, I had completely forgotten about the PC Engine.
I realized there were things more important than video games. By then, I could come and go from his room freely.
One day...
What is that!!! That is a compact and smart design! That's the PC Engine I saw in my dream! My heart is racing! Is it more important than a game? There can't be such a thing. He just left it there carelessly... He let his guard down! Give me a chance! I said to the PC Engine.
