HUDSON 32 BIT PROTOTYPE SYSTEM
AKA IRON MAN
AKA PROJECT TETSUJIN
From this project NEC developed his PC-FX multimedia system. The
system was developed by the same designers of the PC Engine and later
was sold to NEC that used only a small fraction of this technology to
develop the FX system.
The board as it was presented in 1992. Note the PC Engine
joypad attached to the board. Two stickers (one with the Hudson logo
and the other with the famous bee logo) cover NEC and HE system logo
on the pad. At the time Hudson wasn't in talk with NEC to
mass-produce and distribute the system. It's unknow how much of this
board was used for the final PC-FX hardware design, anyway I think
very few...
This was the last hardware project made by Hudson Hardware Team (they
developed also Sharp X68000 and PC Engine systems).
