What was the first CD-based Console?

[Stlr22]

Sega-CD?

The PC-Engine had a CD Rom drive before it, I'm pretty certain. The first platforms to support CD natively may have been the CD-TV or CDi, if you can count them as consoles. Or the 3DO if not.

i thought the turbo graphics cd was the first console cdrom drive

 

[Stlr22]

Turbo-GFX 16?.........................."BONK!!!!"

 

[Ooh-videogames]

Thats what I remember.

 

[Blade]

It wasn't the 3DO or Sega CD. Probably the PC Engine CD, CDi, TurboDuo.. one of those.

 

[Qroach]

It was the PC engine... NEC back in the day.

Does the FM Towns count? My vague memory remembers that I read about the FM Towns CD before the PC Engine.

Amiga CD32??

1993...I think.

 

[Megadrive1988]

NEC's PC Engine CD-ROM (even though it was an addon) which came out in 1988. the U.S. TurboGrafx CD came out in 1990 (or maybe late 1989)

The first console that had CD-ROM built in as standard was the
Fujitsu FM Towns Marty (1991) also the world's first 32-Bit console...
contrary to popular belief that the CD32 was the first 32-Bit console, but that came out in 1993, two years after FM Towns Marty. 8)

 

[Dio]

Well, the original FM Towns system is much earlier than that - 1988 or 1989.

 

[Megadrive1988]

yes, the original FM Towns computer, which the Marty is based on
(Intel 386/486 plus custom graphics - 1024 hardware sprites)
came out in 1988 or 1989.

 

[Freak'n Big Panda]
