    Help Trying to find a reto jap games machine

    Not got much to go on here..

    Main thing though is that it's in a pc tower case and runs off a cd rom.

    can't remember if it had 3d hardeware in it or not, may have done.

    Think it's from the early 90's. The name is on the tip of my tongue....

    Any ideas??

    Cheers

    Cheers dude..

    The top loader looks like the picture in my head, but the name isn't ringing any bells...

    It must be something that looks pretty much like your idea..:|

    Only one I can immediately think of is the FM Towns ?

    WHAT!?

    Wow, I remember wanting one of these "space age" machines. Used to go to sleap at night clutching C+VG and dreaming about stuff like the FM Towns

    they were super expensive when they were new, in those days the only way we could get stuff was though importers out the back of CVG and Edge. Im sure the machines on their own were about 400 quid.

    Looking in those importers ads was like a candy shop back then, Fm towns, neo geo, PC-E as well as imported Genesis and Snes stuff before it came to the UK. Very different to the 3 horse race we have now.
