I was playing that CD for my kids and they are amazed that a 5-disc carousel has been sitting in front of them for years, but they never knew it.I wanted to order the vinyl in time for christmas but it's too late. Maybe next Christmas. I was just listening to it on the 1965 Christmas episode and again on the recent Peanuts movie and now I have it on my phone playlist.
This also revealed that the last time I played CD's was last XMAZ. Ha!
Chipmunks XMAZ albums (two of 'em) were also in there.
...and Beach Boys XMAZ.

Quote from: JAPJAC on 11/02/2017, 01:04 PMJust reminded me but there was also a games store in Walhamstow high Street that sold pc engine imports too. They only had the very early namco games but I can't recall them getting new releases unlike Raven Games and Shekhana and CEXQuote from: guest on 02/23/2016, 12:35 PMWhat was the scene like back then? Was pce mildly popular? Which games did you guys own, or your friends? Any stories to tell?It was very exciting times. More people had JPN white PC Engines in my year and in the year above than anyone had UK PAL Sega Master Systems and Nintendo Entertainment Systems, and that's honestly true. And it didn't seem that expensive either especially compared to the price of an Atari ST computer and its games. Every schoolboy around my age in my town with half an interest in 'computer games' knew what one was thanks mainly due to word of mouth coupled with the really good magazines we had.
R-Type pt.1 definitely was the game that made people really really care about the console. However, R-Type pt.2 was bloody difficult to find for a long time right into the early 90s for some odd reason.
At my school, Splatterhouse (also initially very expensive and difficult to get) was the game that everyone wanted, or at least wanted to play. I remember when my best mate whipped out his GT and started playing this game in registration, even the girls (not being sexist) were crowded around watching him play it. Also older kids from the neighbouring form came in to see what all the fuss was about. Then came over our form tutor, wanting to confiscate the lot but then didn't as my mate told him how much it all cost (nearly 300 quid's worth Sir), and he wouldn't 'let' him, so he crumbled and didn't! It was like a small, rare victory.
I just wished I had taken photographs of the PC Engine gear in Shekhana's 221 TCR shop in their earliest PC Engine days. Everything was running on RGB Philips CM8833 monitors, and the hardware and software was displayed behind glass counter top cabinets. It was more akin to a a branch of Tiffany & Co.. And they were literally selling like hot cakes in front of ones eyes. Harrods and Hamley's also had PC Engines in stock a while later I remember seeing. But I'm sure that Shekhana was the first high-street shop to sell PC Engine in the British Isles? They were already selling US NES games so the PC Engine seemed like a natural progression from that. And Rhine Games (long forgotten) quite a while later up the road had stock of the PC Engine LT when it first game out. It was 550 quid. I was tempted, but the screen was utter shite even then.
I bought my PC Engine for Son Son II as I was a huge Monkey Magic fan and it just looked like the dog's bollock's in TGM's review. And it was. And it is.
And the best thing was, the PC Engine was obviously never released in the UK really, and even then we knew, as children, that this made the whole experience even radder.
Quote from: Psycho Arkhan on 10/31/2017, 12:25 PMThose grngrngrngrnbzrbzrbzr noises are great if they're used carefully, but when the whole soundtrack is like that it's like JFC guys, can you not.The onomatopoeia is off the chart!
look at how goony Chase HQ and SCI are. Those games sound kind of awful. Some of that is because the sound effects basically overtake the music and all you hear is a little bit of weak leads ontop of OK *BLAM BLAM BLAM * SCREEEECH SCREEEECH* *BLAM* WEWEWEOWOOOOWEOEOEEOOO*
but the music isn't so great once you can hear it.

Quote from: guest on 10/23/2017, 03:10 PMWait.... so they had a relationship again after the shower perv incident?!? I'm not doubting that the shower thing happened, buy why should I care about it if it meant so little to her that she'd be willing to date him again afterwards? Methinks there's more to the story and/or an axe being ground after the fact.http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2017/10/23/neogaf-goes-dark-after-sexual-misconduct-allegation-against-owner
And I still don't care about neogaf. My only hope is that none of the retards join here.
Quote from: exodus on 10/16/2017, 01:25 PMI guess because it's the saturn version that has that extra A*life-style thing where you can raise the hidden animals you catch! I know it's silly, but I want the full packageO_o are you sure you not getting the a-life mixed up with Nights? In Radiant Silvergun you find hidden dogs but afaik you don't do any raising.
Quote from: wildfruit on 08/10/2015, 01:00 PMI would say Nandos is my favourite. Mmmm chickenNando's is like the upmarket KFC
Quote from: exodus on 10/16/2017, 02:04 PMYoukai Douchuuki (what a cool and weird game with so many small arcane variants to what you can do)I was thinking about choosing Yokai too since it was this game that sold me on getting the pc engine. I love the graphics and audio of this game and it's so weird. My only problem today is that I always have to disconnect any multi player adapter before playing and this also involves the wireless receiver as it stops the game from booting up.
