I thought the nips loved the pc engine So why'd this flop?

There was no reason for it only 5 exclusive games. Although it's version of ghost and goblins is really good

Came out too early. 8 meg hucards were extremely expensive ($100)

The exclusive games were nothing special. The supergrafx got 2 games a year, very sparse release schedule. The ghouls n ghosts port also was limited to 3 continues
