Sharp X68000

r/sharpx68000

The X68000 was created by Sharp Corporation. It was first released in 1987 and sold only in Japan. It has graphics similar to arcade games of the late 80s & early 90s, with custom coprocs supporting scrolling, tiled backgrounds, and sprites. Sound is supplied through multiple sound chips with 8 channels of FM synthesis and 1 channel of adaptive differential pulse-code modulation audio, mixed down to 2 analog stereo channels via a DAC chip. As such, video gaming was a major use of the X68000!
