MagicEngine

MagicEngine is a PC-Engine console emulator. The PC-Engine - also known as the TurboGrafx-16 in the USA, was a nice Little machine made by NEC. The first model came out in 1987 followed one year later by a CD extension that made the PC-Engine the first console to have CD games.MagicEngine emulates the PC-Engine almost perfectly. The emulator has: full HuCard emulation! full SuperGrafx emulation! full CD-ROM and Super CD-ROM emulation! (with a custom System Card - no BIOS ROM needed) full Arcade Card emulation! very accurate and fast emulation! game save/load feature! nice and easy to use graphical user interface! five players mode - fully configurable!This was quite an impressive machine, with good graphic capacities (16-bit video processor, 512 colors, 64 sprites) and a fast and powerful 8-bit CPU. It also had a very good game collection, with unique and high quality games. And even today some PC-Engine games are still without an equivalent on modern consoles. Of course if you only enjoy 3-D games, well, the PC-Engine may disappoint you a bit, but if you LOVE good old 2-D games, especially shoot`em up, give it a try, it really has some excellent games! The demo is limited in time, everything is fully fonctionnal, but after 5 minutes the game you are playing will be frozen. You can reset it to start again or you can load another game, but you can not play to a game more than 5 minutes. However there`s a little trick. If you save a game, reloading it will reset the time limit, so if every 4-minute or so you save the game and reload it immediately, you will be able to play to the same game for more than 5 minutes
