I don't care too much for the TV/NES hybrid units they put out back when, but everything else I've seen them put out has been pretty nice, with a leaning towards combo systems. They produced the Panasonic GameCube Qs of their day, in effect. I finally found a picture of the Sharp X1 Twin, and thus I decided to post it with an explanation.

It's an odd computer, rather like the Sega Teradrive. It has a rather nice (for the time) X1 system along with a built-in HuCard port for playing PC-Engine games. Can't expand it or add support for CD-ROM games, but it's still very cool looking. Picture. (http://mo5.com/commun/images/ordinateurs/sharp//x1twin.jpg)
