===== Sharp X68000 Computer =====
The Sharp X68000 is a 68000-based computer released only in Japan.  It was made by Sharp's consumer electronics department (think: TVs, radios) and sold in the same stores that sold TVs, rather than in computer shops.  It was not a runaway success, but several hundred thousand units were sold and the game library boasts the greatest ratio of good:crap of any computer in Japan.  [[nfg>x68k|Read more...]]
