Hello everyone. I'm Boss from Retro Video Game Republic, very curious about what kinds of software were available for PC Engine, as I don't have a way to play it now.
Hello everyone~! Indeed! PC Engine has become quite rare nowadays, and it's becoming difficult to find the software that was released for it. I'm Saori from Retro Video Game Republic!
Yes, a lot of software was released for it back then, but now PC Engine software is very rare. I want to introduce a company that was heavily involved in creating for PC Engine!

NEC Avenue was a company that once existed.
Established in 1987 as a record company within the NEC Group, it was a subsidiary of NEC (Nippon Electric Company), a Japanese electronics manufacturer that still exists today.
Not only did they develop video game software, but they also sold music software. They released many titles for the PC Engine, which was developed by NEC Home Electronics, also under the NEC Group.
Their software lineup included not only their own developed series but also ported versions of arcade games from companies active at the time, such as Sega, Capcom, and Taito.
I see, the same corporate group developed the PC Engine, and they supported it by developing software for it.
It seems so! It looks like the software development business also shrank with the downsizing of the PC Engine business, but they released a lot of software until then!
