The PC-Engine CD-ROM drive attachment was released Dec. 1988. The standalone version PCE Duo wasn't released until Sept. 1991 though.
Playstation is not the first by any stretch of the imagination. Even Saturn was released earlier in the USA.
Exactly! PC-Engine was what I was thinking.
The show stated incorrectly that the Sony Playstation was the first video game console ever to use the CD-ROM format. The entire episode of this show was about technology of the '90's.
And if they has said " first video game console ever to use the CD-ROM format in the U.S." it would have been the U.S. version of the PC-Engine, the TurboGrafx 16 right?

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.
