1) dumbass, the PCE came out in 87, but was developed in 86
2) 6-2 = 4.
aah revisionist history. You want to play the "developed in" game.
I can play that game too, C64 was developed in 81.
86 - 81 = 5.
hell, the C64 is just a beefed yup VIC-20 and that came out in 1980 and was developed in 1979..
Anyway, it was nice to describe your original posting of "at the time" since "at the time" the PCEngine didnt exist in 1982, and "at the time" the MSX didnt exist either.
PCEngine is listed as 4th generation console, C64 came out in the era of second generation. Thats quite a technological gap.
The c64 shooters were certainly better than its competition (apple, trs80/coco, ti99, spectrum, atari xl's, bbc micro).
I dont remember TGX16 ever coming to Australia, I never saw one up close until much later on when I was in England. Since TGX16 was designed to be nothing but a _games console_, one would hope its shooters would be better quality than something designed 5 years prior as a computer, with its 1 button joystick designed to be compatible with old atari 2600 sticks, whose joystick interface was designed in 1977... maybe in 1977 they didnt think you needed more than 1 button on a stick...
All this is irrelevant since Radiant Silvergun owns all other shooters that exist ever!!
C64 shooters couldnt have been too bad, afterall it sold 30million units, while TGX16 sold only 10 million..
