When the FM Towns came out, I always dreamt of having one (not the Marty, but the tower one). Only around 2 years ago I managed to pick one up and it did not disappoint. Very top notch when it came out, but only in the Japan.
They had picture in, I think TGM [0] (quick check; seems I have all of these in paper still) we could drool over, but not buy or play with it.

Sadly, shipping something like this to the U.S. from Japan is quite expensive, so maybe I will just be grateful someone is working on emulation software. :)
