Title: Greetings from the UK!
Post by: Pon The Lion on 04/03/2015, 03:20 PM
Hi guys!

Recently purchased a refurbished PC Engine GT and decided to join this forum in hopes of finding hidden gems in the massive library of PCE games.
I'm currently studying overseas in the UK hence the handheld decision but will probably get the proper console (maybe a duo?) when I head home after graduation.
Really liking some of the colourful and quirky shmups like Mr Heli and Ordyne, platformers like Cadash, and I'll probably be burrowing around in the forum for more stuff like that.

See you guys around in the forums!  :D

When the time comes, definitely get yourself a duo.  :mrgreen:

Greetings. Where are you studying ? I'm from essex and I work in London. Also while you're here make sure you pick up a cheap rgb crt tv to take back. Hell some people even give them away. A good place to source games from while you're here is France.

Hey there, I'm in my final year in the University of Exeter!
I'm not sure about bringing back a crt tv back to Singapore via plane.. :-k
PCE games in the UK are pretty expensive imo, I always have to rely on ebay auctions Yahoo Auction Japan.

I'm in the same county Devon but up in the north part.
I rarely travel down to Exeter but I was there yesterday and noticed they now have a few Oriental/East Asian supermarkets that I hadn't noticed before, which I thought was cool as is usually a sign of a East Asian community building up in the area.
I've heard apparently somewhere in Exeter there's a bricks and mortar retro game store, which is an extremely rare thing in the UK, I've never been to the store myself.
I quickly googled it and found this
