Just a quick post to say hello.

I bought a Core Grafx 2 and Everdrive last year after finally playing a PC Engine at my local arcade (having been interested for years). I've found myself spending more and more time on it and recently have started to pick up copies of some of the games I've been playing the most.

Glad to be here!

Thanks! That's a brilliant read - really took me back to first getting into consoles (aged about 10)! Me and a friend both got a NES and another had a Master System. No one I knew had a PC Engine and I was amazed by the occasional screen shots you'd get in CVG and Mean Machines. It only took me 25 years to actually play one!

Welcome. Also, where is this arcade??

bacon industry

Cheers! It's Arcade Club in Bury, Greater Manchester. It really is an amazing place, just a tenner in and all the machines on freeplay. Well worth a trip out from anywhere in the UK.

Here's the facebook:

Welcome, comrade :)

I was too busy watching The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole and 'Allo 'Allo to play any video games on the 1980's.

Thanks Esteban...I too was subjected to many episodes of 'Allo 'Allo whilst growing up in the 80's!
