In 1987, US PC owners were fumbling around with 16 on-screen colors and horrible PC speaker beeps (or AdLib sound if you were lucky). In Japan, you could have gotten a computer that could play Neo Geo quality shooters, near-perfect arcade ports, and 3D polygon mech games with amazing sound and music for the price of a mid-range PC compatible at the time. Man, IBM owners got ripped off.

The Sharpx68000 is practicaly the "Commodore Amiga of Japan". The Amiga had the same main Prozessor but other co processors and it was way cheeper then the x68000 (around 600$).It had way better GFX from the end of the 80s into the early 90s then any dos based PC back then.

PC also had support for MIDI (especially the Roland MT-32). A lot of games (especially those from Sierra and Origin Systems) supported it.Also, 1987 was when VGA hit the PC market, and the initial specification supported 256 colors at 320x240 (mode 13h). Of course, the biggest downfall of systems like the Sharp x68000 is that they weren't even remotely modular, so any changes to the way the system worked would break things. PCs tended to be weaker in the games department, but the architecture was abstract enough to support things being upgraded easily. Plus, once the 386 hit, it was pretty much over for all competing systems.

@YTCensorsMe Poop The Amiga has a massive assortment of specialized chips and is capable of some things that x68k simply can't do. You can't just compare the clock speeds of the main CPUs and conclude that the Sharp x68000 is more powerful.

You also have to take into account that the Sharp x68000, baseline, was more than twice the price of an Amiga. It wasn't a machine that the common Japanese person owned - it was more akin to owning a NeXT cube or an SGI workstation.

I don’t know if you mentioned this already, but Japanese fans’s nickname for the X68K was “The God Computer”, due to specs being ahead of its time compared to the other Japanese computers at the time; the Mega Drive wouldn’t be released until the following year. Capcom used the X68K as its development platform for their CPS 1 and 2 games; former Capcom composer Hiroaki Kondo’s nickname was “Hiroaki ‘X68K’ Kondo”.

Yeah, but it set you back $2500-3000, it was insanely expensive. while the Amiga 500 released the same year cost $699 and also had amazing looking games. $3000 in 1987 is equal to $8000 today. That is some seriously expensive hardware. What i find very interesting however, is how many quality games was made for the platform, the x68000 sold less tan 200.000 units, tiny numbers compared to the likes of Amiga 500, which sold 6 million. But yet, gaming companies kept making great looking games with awesome gameplay, it's almost unbelievable. Yet, here we are.

You guys generally weigh in on the music on every game, and include clips in the reviews and even whole songs in the background! That's something that just strikes me every time I watch a Game Sack episode. "Late 80s/Early 90s upbeat video game music" should be a Genre.

Heads up on the UI controls in Super Hang-On. They are the same on the XBLA port. So it appears they ported the UI controls instead of re-inventing them, which would explain why buttons were used: The D-Pad would map onto steering (leaning) the physical bike in the arcade, whereas the buttons would map onto gas and break, easier to use for UI in an arcade.

It is, in fact, the ONLY shmup Falcom has ever made in their entire history as a company -- and they've been around since 1981! You can hear an '80s glam rock-style vocal version of the title theme on their album "Falcom JDK Band 1," under the name "Go Fight," and this same track was also used as the theme song to the recent Falcom Gakuen anime series.

Absolutely. MANY Japanese game developers used the X68000 as a development tool, and watered down the specs a bit.

Sega itself watered down the specs in order to create the Mega Drive/Genesis hardware to the point where the masses could afford their arcade games on a console, but one could tell the sound and graphics quality werent the same as their arcade counterparts.

The PS4 controller has a programmable light on it so technically they could kinda do it. 😋

Your videos are simply awesome! This is the best video i've seen regarding the X68000. I was wondering though, do you actually own all the X68000 systems that were shown in this video, or were they just on loan? And Thank You for making the best game show on youtube. I hope it continues on for many years!

Thanks for sharing this! I didn't know too much about the Sharp X68000 before, so this video is much appreciated. Informative and hilarious as always. I'm impressed with the system, not just for what it's capable of, but the sound options are amazing too.

Konami especially made good use of the X68000 sound capabilities. As much as I liked you revisiting this computer and its games, I missed seeing Detana!! Twinbee there (I saw its box though) instead of other minor shooters, it's a personal favorite, especially its music, which I think is just up there with Gradius. The MIDI use in that game is just insanely good IMHO... speaking of which, the name Joe Redifer definitely rang a bell... OCRemix? I downloaded a Sonic CD remix by you more than 10 years ago, same Joe Redifer I presume ;) (probably not the first one saying this but I love this kind of connections :)). Very good and entertaining guys, you got another sub!

I don't know if you guys even read the comments on these old videos but I bought a sharp x68000 after seeing this video 2 years ago. I now own a whole 5 games for the system as they cost 100-500 dollars a pop. Lol but I'm happy with it and collecting for it is pretty fun

You guys should do another video of this system and show off some more of the games, like Dragon Spirit. :)

The problem with this system is that like 80% of the games are shooters. We had a hard enough time in this episode finding games that weren't.
