is NEC, the wonderful people that brought some of you the turbografx 16, doing anything with newer games or are they out of the game. hahaha 'out of the game' funny play on words.  :tinfoil:

NEC is out of the gaming biz, but they are very much still around.

Yes, this is the same company.

NEC makes corporate phone systems - I manage ours at my place of employment.

As far as I know they are out of the gaming biz but they make phone stuff and monitors.

too bad they are out of gaming...the TG-16 was a nice little system....i cant say anything about their other stuff though....

man that sucks. at lea3t they are still a company. but to go from games to phones. didnt they used to make computers back in the 90's, too? i'd at least figured that they would do what sega  did and quit the consoles and just do games. all good things must come to an end, i guess.

Yes, they used to make computers.

NEC is a huge electrical company, they made my computer, monitor, and one of the VCRs in the house. My mate also has an NEC air-con.
NEC, Panasonic, and Philips are the only companies I truly trust thus far, as I have had a 100% success rate with all my products form these companies.

Last game related news from NEC I remember is Black-Matrix. I have it for my Saturn, but it also saw an update on the Dreamcast. They may or may not of made anything since, I'm not sure. Oh, and of course they also made the Dreamcast graphic processor,can't forget that  :P

I think it's probably best that we do forget that. ;)

Don't forget Samsung.


Why? The Dreamcast was on par with the Game Cube in terms of graphics.  At least it seems that way to me.

No.

Yes

They both suck(ed).

Well out of all fairness for the DC, it was against the N64, and PS1, and in comparison it truly blew your mind. I traded in my entire PS1 collection and got my DC for cheap, and never looked back  ;D

I mean, my god, it actually had texturing, not huge flat pixelated polygons for roads  :P

Then the PS2 came out, although the DC dose have smoother graphics, there is a technology difference with the DC being the 1st 128Bit system to market, and the PS2 can pump out a lot more polygons. In lamer terms, DC = Smoother graphics, PS2 = More detailed graphics.

Just as an idea for you name Leon, have you considered SLEONY
I noticed since my short absence your sig and avatar had undergone a huge transformation.

Don't take it personally. I'm just the tool bringing balance here. There's soooo many Nintendo and Sega and even M$oft fans on here that I feel I must provide for the Sony side. Unfortunately I have to sound like a maniac to even these things out.

And I never return to a name I've already had, unless it's simply The Maligned Leon.

Sleony would be too similar. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yeah I know, I read your post back about getting sick of the anti-sony situation.
I don't take it personally at all, I find most of your posts too be pretty comical actually :P

long live the DC. sega should have stayed in the game and pumped out another great system.
