X68000

If I remember right, the...

The Alpha 68000 is just based on the Motorola X68000, isn't it? Yeah, it

is.

Yeah.

This track is called Eerie Glimmer.

This was released on the Sharp X68000 in 1992.

Micro Cabin is the developer.

Publisher was Brother Industries, LTD.

So I'm going to play for you the final pick, which is Tokyo Twilight Busters.

I always try to pick something from the PC-98 or the Sharp X68000 when we do these episodes.

So this is from the PC-98.

It came out in 1995.

And for the emulators, let me see if I can just name these out real quick.

uh just going down the list we've got mega drive genesis sega cd master system game gear sg1000 32x super nintendo nintendo game boy game boy color game boy advance nintendo 64 pc engine turbo graphics 16 as well as pc engine cd pc engine super graphics wonder swan and wonder swan color virtual boy atari links ps1 3do Neo Geo Pocket, Arcade through FB Neo, FBA Next, and MAME 2003 Plus, MSX, Spectrum, MS-DOS, Commodore 64, Sharp, X68000, Amiga 500, 1200, and CD32, Atari 5200, and Atari 8-bit computers like the 400, 800, XL, and XE, Quake, Doom, and Outrun cores.

there that's pretty much what you have available it breaks down the structure of where you'd put your bios all that fun stuff here all the games and there is a ton of information here just setting up you know even mouse support on here very cool to see overall so if you're wanting some kind of newer more modern multi-emulator front end for the xbox 360 well you've got this available And we've got another emulator here.

This is a standalone emulator that I've been seeing a lot of updates for from developer Colonel 64.

I love the FM Towns hardware.

The X68000 next to it, which is like Japanese PC gaming royalty.

Yeah, they had a Night Striker board there, which I love Night Striker from Taito.

And it was 450,000 yen.

Yeah, well done.

They tried to sue anyone who tried to have, like, changing camera angles within a video game, and there was a game on the, uh, on the X68000, which, uh, I'm a massive fan of that little crazy machine.

Uh, but that's for another episode probably, 'cause we can talk about that for hours.

But there was a guy who'd made a, a pool game, like as a billiards kind of thing, a pool game on there in which you could change the camera angle.

But now when I play the thing, it was an obscure little X68000 game, but whoever was fighting Sega in court at the time, like, rolled this guy out and was like, "Dude, like, you were first, weren't you?" "Yeah, I was first." And that's how their entire-

Oh, wow

... lawsuit was canceled.

And I'll talk a little bit about the next one and about what they could have done with this, but Fantasy 2.

So the Fantasy series, Fantasy 1, 2, and 3, 4, Japanese only release on the X68000 and MSX, I believe.

But Fantasy 2 did not come out on the Amiga.

And what's sad about that is, and I think Fantasy 1 and Fantasy 2 were released at the exact same time on the Amiga, or Fantasy 1 was released...

Fantasy 3 needed a Fantasy 4 to work out the gameplay elements added in Fantasy 3.

Unfortunately, we never got it.

Yeah, X68000, there's one on there, I think.

What I would like to see, instead of people trying to make a 3D Doom on their computer, and I get why people do it on the ST and the Amiga, I would have rather seen a Fantasy 4 or 5 with picking up a little bit of the JRPG elements that were becoming popular in games like Dragon Quest and...
