Coding Is King

It's a fact of life that console manufacturers eventually abandon their consoles. As new technologies become available, it becomes more difficult for them to continue releasing games for aging systems. Just like the other consoles of its generation, the TurboGrafx has now become an orphan. The system is no longer supported by NEC nor does it receive support from the big third party companies (i.e. Konami, Capcom, etc...).

Despite the harsh reality of the fact that the TurboGrafx is no longer supported by its original manufacturer, there is still a reason to maintain hope. Thanks to a legion of dedicated fanboys, NEC's 16-bit powerhouse continues to live on with new releases! Believe it or not, development tools are now available that make TurboGrafx development readily accessible to the common man. Not only that, but there's even a compiler that will output CD images that can be played on your TurboGrafx CD unit.
