![]() ![]() NEC demonstrated Iron Man at a number of trade shows and events during 1992, and by the middle of the year were discussing an imminent release of an Iron Man-based video game system with many third party developers. The PC-FX was based on a 32-bit system architecture named "Tetsujin" or "Iron Man", developed in-house by NEC. NEC launched the PC-FX as the successor to its well received 4th generation system, the PC-Engine. The PC-FX was NEC's last home video game console, and was discontinued in February 1998. It was also expensive and lacked developer support, and as a result it was unable to compete effectively with its fifth generation peers. However the PC-FX lacked a 3D polygon-based graphics chip which rendered the system underpowered in comparison to its competitors. The console is shaped like a tower PC and was meant to be similarly upgradeable. Unlike its predecessor, the PC-FX was only released in Japan. ![]()
