Unhappily, it is all in French so most of you won't be able to fully enjoy this mook but I just wanted to keep you informed of this project we -Necstasy forum members- initiated some 4 years ago.

At first, we intended to it but the person in charge of the translation just quitted the project. Maybe someday...

Post by: ceti alpha on February 23, 2009, 12:39:58 PM: My copy arrived in the mail today!! Je suis très heureux! :mrgreen:

Seriously though, it looks fantastic and I'm actually able to understand a lot more than I thought. As my french gets better (and this will be a big help in that department) I'll definitely take on the task of translating.

The pages are super glossy with really nice colours and loads and loads of info on all the NEC consoles. Toilet reading pwn.

Actually yes, back in the good old days, PC Engine games were sold in many ffrench supermarket chains. Sodipeng, the ompany that imported PCE to Fance did a very good job.

Post by: Spector on May 01, 2009, 01:00:35 AM: That book looks fantastic, and I wish it could be translated into English. Of course the PC Engine Software Bible website by Paul is wonderful, but nothing beats flicking through the content of an actual magazine.

Post by: bacteria on May 01, 2009, 01:13:04 AM: If it comes out in English, I will buy one. Seems strange they print it in French when most of the world speaks English / American.

Uh...Not really strange if it was intended for the French market.

is it planed to be released in other languages as well? english, japanese, etc.?

Yes I know, I am just make a joke, I know french is very difficult to learn.

"is it planed to be released in other languages as well? english, japanese, etc.?"

Yes it´s planed, first in english.

Yeah I was joking when I said that :) Even though it will probably take many months, the fact it's actually being considered is a good thing.

Post by: Nutribrain on July 18, 2009, 10:40:36 AM: I received Vol.1 today and must say that it's amazing, even when I actually just understand a few words.
Luckily my wive speaks French, so she can translate some parts for me. I'm looking forward to Vol.2, hopefully getting released within the next 12 months. I just can encourage everyone to buy this book, even when you don't understand a word - just watching the pictures is great, too.
Good job!
