Anybody who knows the history of this Japanese PC knows it was a beast in it's day, and in fact was built as a developer PC for arcade games. The graphics on it have super sharp pixel definition and are very bright in a way that was unheard of back then too. While it doesn't have a ton of games compared to other systems, it does have a good bit of top notch perfect arcade games because of it being used to write those games for the arcade.

Here's some amazing X68000 facts by a guy who does great content videos on obscure consoles and protypes as well as on the ones who were popular but many don't know their origins or actual facts about them. Far as the X68000 goes some people say wow that thing was better than the Amiga (In some respects concerning graphics, not in the custom chips or OS multitasking, OS framework, or other PC home computer architecture the Amiga was vastly superior at.), but keep in mind what they don't take into account is that it came out several years later than the Amiga and was several thousand dollars more in price (it's retail prices was 6 or 10 thousand dollars if i remember right) and it was mainly intended as a developer PC for people writing code for arcade machines. In fact the arcade machines it was used to write games for had motherboards that were usually the same exact board or one very similar in configurations. Still, an impressive PC that pretty much anybody in Japan could buy if they could afford it, unlike developer platforms for other arcade machines or even home consoles that were only available strictly to game developers.

Looks like the X68000 is legit and on the way.
