  1. It was 12 year old tech when this came out.

  2. Old computers did not have good multilingual support. even in the 90s languages like Spanish or French would get messed up if you had accents on the letters like è would be ? .and that was on systems with a 500mb hard drive and could play quake and browse the internet not 8 bit systems with very low storage. i think i saw a windows 3.0 ad from the early 90s where they bragged they supported 10 languages now they got 130+ on windows 11.

  3. In the 80s a lot of companies tried to turn their consoles into computers with addons. but it turned out most customers weren't interested and the consoles didn't have enough ram build in. so Nintendo stopped doing this before they released all the addons to make good programs without a sperate dev kit.

  6. I have 2 hobbies learning languages and using retro computers .but honestly since i started learning so many languages i started to hate old computers and how they don't support anything apart from plain ascii .and the software usually only supports English if you didn't know basic English back then you couldn't use a computer

  9. Sometimes i find Chinese websites that haven't been updated in over 20 years and the text is all garbled. it happens in other languages too even in French if there was an accent on a letter like é it would turn into ? you could only have plain English text unless you installed a bunch of stuff.

  10.  @Curt_Sampson  They didn't they only had Japanese and English and maybe Chinese. they also had to make systems made for japan only .they couldn't compete in other countries because they had different standards for everything.

  11.  @Curt_Sampson  nobody used Japanese computers outside of japan apart from the msx. and that one had limited success in only a few random regions. a lot of the best selling games and software for the msx in japan was not sold world wide. and western users had their own different software. there was no law that stopped japanese systems from coming out here. but they failed or never bothered because the market was too different. also all these Japanese systems where incompatible with popular western systems at the time. even if they did use American cpu architectures. because the rest of the world couldn't make decent cpu's. the ussr tried to but they gave up and just started copying western chips. japan didn't have a reason to do that since American cpu's where good enough. but it didn't matter because they actual full computer could only run software made for that computer. in most countries the ibm pc became the dominant computer platform and the mac survived. but in japan the ibm pc and mac didn't get popular until the mid 90s
