Title: PC Engine Buyers Guide?
Post by: TurbografxKid on October 16, 2009, 01:09:04 AM

Has there ever been any kind of buyers guide put together into a book form for the PC Engine, it's games, and it's legacy? Something with pictures, history, the 3rd party publishers, etc.  :-s

Yes, exactly what you've described has been published... in french. An english version may be released some day in the future, but that's pretty much it for now. Otherwise the internets have you covered.

Are they considering an English version? I would be very interesting in having something like this, that is tangable. Something that you can hold and drool over. There is a void on my bookshelf just begging for something like this. The PC Engine is only just mentioned mostly in any Video Game book dealing with the history. They go more into depth with Nintendo, Atari, and Sega. It is like, "There,... we threw them a bone" sort-of thing. Something in the way of a guide with some detail stuff would be like the "icing on the cake" to go with my Turbo treasure.

There have been brief mentions of the TG-16 / PCE in some books on the history of video games... sad....
