In this thread: /vr/ titles where the non-/vr/ console version is clearly better than the originally intended platform.
The X68000 was released as a console in late 1986 as was originally intended and costed $300 to make and sell (meaning it broke even); What changes.
Reminder that when the X68000 became a computer all Sharp did was.
>Delay the system to 1987 to make it a half baked computer.
>Bump the main ram up from 256KB to 1MB.
>Bump the video ram up from 128KB to 512KB.
>Bump up the sprite ram from 1KB to 32KB (due to storing sprite data into ram)
>Replace carts with disks, carts ended up becoming expansion cards.
>Added in disk drive/parallel port/keyboard/mouse controllers.
>Include video mixing hardware.
>Bumb down the controller button count from 8 (6 primary face buttons as well as Select and Start, 12 counting the D-Pad) to 2 (since the keyboard did everything else).
>Jack the price up to $3000 when the computer only cost $900 to make, including the monitor, speakers, keyboard, controller and mouse.
