PC-FX Overview
The PC-FX is a home video game console released by NEC Home Electronics in December 1994. It was released as the successor to the PC Engine, and is not backward compatible with the PC Engine. While its 3D performance is weak, it has strong 2D performance, and many animation-based games were released. Another feature of this console is that many games were ported from the PC-98 series. Due to a lack of titles and inferior graphic performance, it lost out to competition from PlayStation and Saturn, which were released in the same year. This machine was the last game console released by NEC.

PC-FX Emulator OverviewThe only dedicated PC-FX emulator is MagicEngine FX, but it is shareware. Therefore, I recommend the use of a multi-emulator.
It can be played with integrated graphics without any problems. To run on anything other than MagicEngine FX, a PC-FX BIOS is required.
