this is the super acan, a taiwanese 16-bit system that came out in the 90s. has anyone actually played one of these/own one? its piqued my interest beyond belief. I'm moving to taiwan in september and gonna see if I can pick one up for cheap.

They're actually very rare and very expensive as collector's items.

It's actually its own proper thing with a 68000 processor and some fancy video effects. Sound capabilities is roughly equivalent to a card-based TG16 game. Games looked like 2D Jaguar ones in terms of colors and such. Launched very late (1995) and cost an obscene amount of money though I never found an exact price.

damn. how expensive? I'm willing to shell out a bit for one. how much are the games?
>>4162638
I think you try to find an equally esoteric system but with more games. I just looked at a youtube video of 10 games and they all look like trash

honestly the only game i want to play is sango fighter, because i played the dos version a lot as a kid and this one looks better. but yeah i saw that video, they all look pretty shitty = (

I heard that the A'Can port was really rushed and buggy compared to the DOS version.

In kansai, akan means stupid/no good.
Ha ha ha this tickles my fancy. Off to google and good luck anon!
I really hope you can get one and if you do, share the love somehow
I saw this in a magazine but it kind of confused me and I assumed it got canceled kinda like Cheetahmen 2

I've played on one. Never owned one because they're useless for anyone except shelf collectors. The library is literally 12 shitty games, the best of which are just bad knock offs of real games. If you need le ebik rochinkshit hipster cred consider a PGM. Equally "obscure", if not more so, and actually has games.

PGM? Are you talking about the Poly Game Master boards? I didn't think that shit was obscure, but I play STGs for score, so what the fuck would I know?

This is wonderful. I hope they didn't try to market in Japan - it would be comparable to trying to sell a Chevy Nova in South America.

Yes, but games aren't boards. It's a cart based system very similar to the MVS. So I guess obscure enough you didn't know that. kek.
I had one. Dad threw it away.

we bought it at a flea market
