Can someone tell me what this is
The PIC is from the Eurogamer expo 2012
But it was dark in the retro corner so I couldn't read what it said

That's a PC Engine, but I can't identify the game in the console.

From wiki

TurboGrafx-16, fully titled as TurboGrafx-16 Entertainment SuperSystem and known in Japan as the PC Engine (PCエンジン Pī Shī Enjin?), is a video game console developed by Hudson Soft and NEC, released in Japan on October 30, 1987, and in North America on August 29, 1989.

Is the PC engine identical to the TurboGrafx as I thought it was different case per region like the famicon/snes

Ohh I have a NEC turbografx16 but its brand new sealed so I never saw it
Thanks

No Pc engine is way smaller - the one that you have is bigger and looks like this

LowlyAssassin said it was in the retro corner, just showing some love to old consoles I guess.....No need for a re release of any old consoles really as they are so easily emulated on PC and even PSP (CFW enabled ones anyway)

Seeing as someone dug up this thread

They had a retro wall
Ran going from the ps2 / Xbox 1 / GameCube generation
Back past the zx spectrum and commodore 64 GG era,
To if I recall correctly an amstrad PC and a lot of other old hard ware I did not recognize
But don't think they had everything
No just the "popular" consoles
As there was no Sega 1000/2000/3000 and a lot more consoles missing
I was amazed they had a FZ1 though and it wasn't tied down, but alas I guess no one knew what it was as no one would touch it, which gave me a good 20 minutes to blast through a game on it
