Details
The SuperGrafx was a slightly upgaded version of the PC Engine/TurboGrafx. Instead of replacing the 8 bit processer with a 16 bit unit, NEC decided to only add an extra video chip and additional RAM memory.
The particular shape of the unit was a consequence of the plans to supplement it with a foot pedal/joystick add-on (the Power Console) that had to slide over the SuperGrafx console. This Power Console was never released.
Only 5 dedicated SuperGrafx games were ever produced.
