This is why I come here! Awesome setup, I’ve never seen one before, thanks for sharing!
Woah. I've never seen one before. The design is amazing.
Wow this is amazing. I absolutely love the physical details from this era.. it really takes me back to my youth.
It looks straight out of an early 90s broadcast studio, or something. Like, I can see it sitting next to a handful of Sony PVMs.
Oh hey the layout is standard! I love the Famicom, but the keyboard being different from all other Japanese keyboard is very annoying.
Oh god, everything about this beast is glorious. Does that keyboard qualify as a blunt weapon?
Was the CD drive stock to these? Early 90s seems early to have them. Must have been expensive!
I loved Nadia, the Secret of Blue Water, but it's almost unknown here. There was a game based on the universe, a FM Towns marvel.
It is a 1992 japanese adventure game. Includes full talkie digitized audio, and synthesized music. It was sold on 2 CD-ROM XA discs.

You control the young french inventor Jean and his friend, pretty adventurer Nadia, while fight the NeoAtlantean crews in the Nautilus submarine. Fun!
I'm a bigger fan of the Sharp X68000 (it's so pretty!), but the FM Towns has the great advantage of having a lot more games in English. These are really cool systems.
Any neat 3rd-party software? Maybe games?
I always get a strong "serial experiment Lain" vibe from japanese CRT computers.
