The Fujitsu FM TOWN II EX is the successor of the [FM TOWN II](/museum/fujitsu-fm-towns-ii/) which used an i386SX CPU instead of the i486 DX2.
|
|
|
|
Even if it is fully compatible with all PC compatibles, it was primary designed to be used as a powerful game computer. It has the common characteristics with game consoles like enhanced sound, hardware sprites and scrolling and video modes : it has in fact four video modes : 640 x 480 (1 screen of 16.7 million colors), 512 x 384 (2 screens of 32768 colors), 1024 x 768 (2 screens of 16 colors among 4096) or 1024 x7\* 768 (1 screen of 256 colors among 16.7 millions).

|
This computer had, as its previous models, a great success in Japan and a lot of multimedia and game applications were developped for it, but however was never launched outside Japan.
