Sega and the Sharp X68000

In 1987, Sharp unleashed the monster home computer, the X68000. It was an incredibly powerful machine home to many great arcade ports. Even some of Sega's most popular arcade games would find their way to the platform, and here we will take a look at how they turned out.

Episode Notes:

1. Emulator - WinX68KHighSpeed used. Many recommend XM6 Type G as a much better choice.

2. Many of these games have controller support. Some require specific types, like Afterburner II.

3. All these games targeted the base 10mhz 1MB version of the X68000, save for Bonanza Bros. It requires more RAM.

4. Fantasy Zone has a great remixed soundtrack with it.

5. It would have been great if Sega published games for the X68000 itself. I would have loved to have seen stuff like Golden Axe, ESWAT, and Altered Beast on it.

6. Capcom's releases for the X68000 are legendary. Many of them are nearly indistinguishable from their arcade versions.
