Usually ships within 1-5 business days. ≪New and Unopened≫ This is the latest installment in the popular "Perfect Catalog" series, which thoroughly dissects home retro hardware from both hardware and software perspectives.
Following the MSX, X68000, and PC-8801, the latest volume focuses on the PC-9801, not a home game console.
The PC-9801 was released by NEC in 1982 as a 16-bit business machine. However, from around 1990, it gained popularity as a hobbyist personal computer. Leveraging its processing power, it established its position as a "national machine" in the Japanese market until the advent of Windows 95, thanks to its extensive lineup of RPG and simulation games.
This book thoroughly explores the PC-9801, from its development history to the social context of the time, in two volumes: Volume 1 "General Games" and Volume 2 "Bishojo Games."
With a large B5 size, this series' largest volume features a total of 544 pages: 288 pages for Volume 1 + 256 pages for Volume 2!
This is a Perfect Catalog that will undoubtedly serve as valuable material when discussing the PC-9801.

● Includes numerous catalogs and materials from the era.
● Introduces over 1400 general software titles released in Japan with screen and package photos.
