This console was release exclusively in Taiwan.
12 games were made for it.
It came out in '95 so it's no wonder it failed going up against the 3D PS & SS.
It looks like a SNES but the CPU inside is more like the one in a Genesis.

How does it compare to other 4th gen consoles in terms of graphics, sound, controller, build quality, how good are the games, etc?
Where does it fall in power level between SNES, Genesis, TG16, Neo Geo, and CD-i?
Does it have a mascot character like Nintendo and Sega has?
Did anyone here own it as a kid? Memories? How much did it cost? What slogan was used to advertise it? What was the gaming scene like in '95 Taiwan?

My friend has/had one. I remember it being in his parents closet growing up, and I would beg him to bring it out because it was mysterious to me. Never did. I doubt they kept it as they moved and were unlikely to keep it. I'll ask tomorrow.

I doubt anyone here had one or is from Taiwan and is old enough to have had one in 95 and played it

Only two of the games released for this thing look fun to me. I do like how it sounds like a PC Engine.

Interesting piece of video game history. It's like when they were designing it they were like:
>CPU
Sega
>Secondary CPU
Nintendo
>Color
Sega
>Form Factor
Nintendo
