Just curious.  Also, are most of the games FMV (a la Sega CD?)?  I know about the one vertical shooting game on this system, but what are some good action/adventure titles?  Thanks

In an article I read before the PC-FX's release, it said "In a bold move, NEC has announced that the PC-FX will not be backwards compatible with their TurboGrafx line." so I imagine that the answer to that is probably "no".

It can't play Turbo Grafx 16 CD/PC Engine CD games what so ever and it can't play PC-88 games as far as I know, but that one development device for it allows you to hook up to your PC-98 computer.

Well that's too bad! :(   Still, it looks like there are some good titles for the PC-FX.

No backwards compatibility for PCE with PC-FX came as a huge middle finger to the PCE crowd.  Why bother buying two separate systems when you can have one and a lot of games?  :roll:
