Title: Games Adverts - Console Concepts (UK)
Post by: SuperPlay on October 16, 2011, 08:02:17 AM
I was flicking though some old magazines today and I came across this Advert for Console Concepts in the UK. They were a games importer in the 90's and it just so happens this is where I used to work!

Damn, we also had Super Adventure Island on the PCE. I bet it was even better than the SFC pendant.

Comic books had some of the best TG-16 ads way back when. I'll try to share them here soon... ;)

Monkey ..... now there is an interesting one ;-) I cannot remember off top of my head what this would have been (it was 19 yeas ago) I will have a scan around to see if I can work this out.
PARODIOS, never noticed this one before :-) and as for Super Adventure Island on the PCE, I bet that Chris Covell did not even know about this one LOL ;-)
So, these were PAL converted PC Engines, and not the PAL TurboGrafx?
£500 for the CD Unit in 1989 - WOW! The Queen will have to sell her jewelry.
Yes these were Japanese imports that were either converted to PAL or to RGB
£500, this is why I never owned one in 1990 ;-) Lucky for me I worked in the place (well when it became console concepts)so there was plenty of opportunity to play :-)

Advance Console Entertainment, Shekana and especially Raven were some of our main competitors :-)
