Why TG16 so big when Core Grafx so small?

(1/1)

Solscud007:
This always bugged me. I am having a hard time with all these different variations of the PC engine. can some one lay down a list and explain the differences?

oh and why is TG16 so freaking big when PC engine is so small?

dj898:
maybe someone thought dinky small size PC Engine won't appeal to US market  - thought US buyers want something substantial for their money rather than tiny toy look-alike... :p

cheers

esteban:
^^ in addition, the US FCC requires electronic devices to be shielded (to minimize interference with other electronics).... still, NEC could have just made a slightly bigger PCE instead of making the huge tg16.

I've always been sort of embarrassed of our model.  I've heard a lot of French and Japanese people joking about it.
