My wife and I are going through your back catalogue rn, so expect lots of thumbs up from two different accounts :3 I'm pretty surprised that some of these don't have massive scads of likes, because you're one of the few channels doing things on these machines. I've always had such interest in these foreign computers from before my time- they're these mystery boxes I'll never actually touch irl. Thanks for putting out these mini-documentaries about games and their histories. I'm really curious as to what brought you to Japan.

@Co_dD

Wondeful video, it's hard to find a better way to present a personal system with all the general info. True gold between all shinny clickbait hype retro fever. Thanks for the Dead of the Brain video, .........well, thanks for all the videos.

@madson-web

What a pretty machine! Love how that soundboard sounds.

@Butterstix2014

12:51 omg I love Susumu Matsushita’s art

@sma7530

I'm fixing my CD-ROM2 on my PC Engine Briefcase and I literally said, 'Wow !' when I saw you slot it in the top of your PC-88

@PierreVonStaines

That CD-Rom drive is a nice shade of morning wee.

@astrades2601

I liked those detailed presentation of this old exotic computer. It was interesting new portion of knowledge for me. And the computer itself is looking great for my opinion.

@yuyukawa9104

What a wonderful computer.

@davidbringham4869

You are my favorite youtuber of all time

@RetroTuna

Thanks for showing this great little computer, been trying out some of the games on mister loving final crisis and been enjoying you game videos.

@jeremym9011

This is an awesome find! If only if I can find more KOEI games that used the CD disc, because I love their soundtracks, along with the DIOS game CD soundtrack.

@pappatrue4015

Thanks a lot for the history lesson and for showing your setup, that was very interesting! I think I've said this on another video of yours, but I've always been a console gamer, so it's really cool to get an insight into the other side of the spectrum, so to speak. Truly a lovely channel you've got here!

@Michirin9801

What an awesome machine! I never knew the PC-88 line ever had any kind of CD support... Until now of course... Nice video ^^

@RyuHayabusa06

Cool video! I remember seeing pics of the PC Engine CD unit being used on a Japanese PC but I didn't know it was this model. I love learning about old obscure Japanese hardware like this.

@terrythe2dmaniac71

A very informative and well made video my friend, keep up the good work 👍🌸🌸

@VisiV

I was putting off watching this one because it was dated a long time back, but that’s silly of me. Great video.

@retro-rock3067

Also it’s the Nec Pc-88 40th Anniversary and its also Nec Pc-60/66 40th Anniversary also

@TheGeoffers08

Brilliant video.  I (hopefully) have one of these on the way.  Out of interest,  have you ever looked at a gotek alternative to the floppy drives?

@douglasalves4892

Very nice video about one of my favorites computers !

@Esteban_LeGrafx

Magnificent video. Bravo. :)

(1) I love seeing the advertisements with the timeline. 

(2) Is that the PC-88/98 mascot? Or was it just part of a specific promotion/marketing campaign? I ask because it has a very similar art-style to the "mascots" for PCE Gekkan Magazine and PCE Dengeki Magazine... so I was trying to figure out if it was simply a "trend" of the 80's (employed by many companies, perhaps even across various industries), or a marketing tactic that only a few companies used. The character design and airbrush(?) aesthetic is very familiar, though. 

(3) The moment of glory (no spoilers) was absolutely perfect. PERFECT. Were the sound effects all from Ys? I loved seeing the actual hardware docking...in the future, maybe include bonus footage (after credits) of docking from various angles?

(4) The display for CD player...does that image ever change (blue sky with clouds?)... (for example, pressing SELECT on PCE changes the color palette, holding SELECT down creates a trippy, psychedelic "show"....wondering if PC-8801MC had any hidden goodies in there)

(5) MC = Media Center? Or never really specified?

(6) Major respect for defending the yellowed hardware.
