The Sharp X68000, often referred to as the X68k, was a home computer released only in Japan by the Sharp Corporation. The first model was released in 1987, with a 10MHz Motorola 68000 CPU, 1MB of RAM and no hard drive; the last model was released in 1993 with a 25MHz Motorola 68030 CPU, 4MB of RAM and optional 80MB SCSI hard drive. RAM in these systems was expandable to 12MB though most games and applications didn't require more than two.
Castlevania games available on the system[]
Trivia[]
- The X68000 was never released outside of Japan; as such, Akumajō Dracula hadn't been available for western audiences until 8 years later, when a remaster for the Sony PlayStation was released in 2001 under the title of Castlevania Chronicles.
