Yup, i've done it myself. If you burn CD-R's at the slowest possible speed, that REALLY improves players reading them. And you can also increase the intensity of readers too if all else fails, there's a tine screw next to the lens that you nudge clockwise ever so slightly..
Hey Luke, if you're after any games, I've got a couple of copies of Chase HQ, New Zealand Story and Splatterhouse lying around for the FM Towns if you want them. I think I got Monkey Island somewhere as well.
Wow, never heard of 'FM Towns' before. Looks very interesting. Congrats on getting such a good price for it, and I look forward to seeing more videos on it. =)
A 386 cpu and 10 MB ram in 1989 was probably unheard of - I remember paying $80.00 for 8 MB for my 486 packard bell pc but that was in 1996. The After Burner demo makes the system seem like it would be very comparable to a Neo Geo.
Man, I've never seen the FM Towns version of After Burner(though the music is IDENTICAL to the music in the Mega CD version of After Burner III). Mind actually playing it(preferably on the FM Towns Marty if possible)?
That an amazing system. Does it have a hard drive, or must you load everything from disks? This thing is far above any IBM compatible PC for the time. Is is MS-DOS compatible? perhaps the keyboard and mouse will work on your FM towns Marty. Is the operating system stored in ROM as was the case with a lot of computers back then?
Answering my own question, yes it can! There's a standard (?) Japanese RGB input on the back and a switch to go between internal and external video input. Very, very cool little system this!
Damn...considering the time this bad mother came to the market, it would have looked like wizardry would it ever have found its way to western markets...very impressive! So sad that apart from their supercomputers the Fujitsu of today is just another beige-box vemdor

Hey look! The Macintosh done right!!!! Color Screen, CD-ROM Drive, Dual Floppies, Upgradable Ram. Apple was always falling behind LOL.

the amiga had almost prebuild attactments, kinda like the Fm, i would kill to have a Amiga, both amazing systems.
I need to do that next time I go garage sailing...
Are FM Towns/Marty games really hard to find in Japan? I rarely see them on Yahoo.Japan or Ebay
Hey man, do you know if this thing can be used as a monitor for other systems like the X68000?
Answering my own question, yes it can! There's a standard (?) Japanese RGB input on the back and a switch to go between internal and external video input. Very, very cool little system this!
