Title: Any welsh pc engine owners out there
Post by: fraggore on 07/01/2012, 06:19 AM
Well a am interested to see if there is any welsh pc engine owners out as over the years I have only ever known of 4 people that have owned a pc engine and over the years they have become a dying breed, I think I have become a ethnic minority where pc engine is concerned.

So if there is any of you out there let us know I am just outside of Cardiff in Caerphilly be cool if there is anyone else in the area.

Out of interest were there many "grey import" video game shops in Wales in the late eighties/early nineties?

I'm not from Wales, I'm in England, but just on the opposite side of the Bristol Channel.  :D
