Here are a few points I missed in the video:

**This was released only in Japan

**This CAN run Windows if you have a HDD, however, the native OS is "Towns OS", which boots from a live CD

**The BIOS contains all the software and drivers needed to boot games and support FMT expansion cards.

**The CPU is soldered, so no easy upgrading.

Drew, games for this thing are expensive, but the shmups are insanely priced. Fortunately I picked this one up locally for a great deal.

This is simply awesome sir, my best friend is on the hunt for this. I know it's very pricey but he will get one if it kills him, lol

Very cool system, great overview Rob!

Whoa! Never heard of this... weird that. I love old computers. Amazing it was released with no hard drive, but since everything is proprietary (I guess) the software is in the chips, eh? Wicked. Just did an Ebay search on these and only got 2 of the "Marty" Japanese consoles. $700-800! Ouch!

Cool stuff Rob, I always liked that vertical CD drive. Didn't realize there was an equalizer on the front of it though, that's pretty badass. Games for it are pretty pricey though, right? Tatsujin Ou included.
