Title: Ello from Wales, UK
Post by: Caseh on 11/10/2015, 09:58 AM

Should introduce myself I guess!

Used to have a PC Engine with the CD interface many years ago, in some strange twist of a trade (got my hands on it by swapping a game gear and a Tamiya R/C car) i'm guessing it was back around '94, maybe a little earlier.

I've not really thought about my past consoles until I recently bought a house, and now that i'm settled I can start collecting up my childhood memories...in console format.

I've swept through a few over the past year, Neo Geo AES, Mega CD, SNES etc and then about 2 months back I remembered my time with the PC Engine. There was a cracking deal on eBay a few weeks back, a small 6 hour window where there was 20% off everything and I remembered a Turbo Duo I had seen with the RGB mod and re-cap, suffice to say it took me a whole 5 mins to make the decision to buy it!

Aaaand that's about it, I've bought about 15 games for it so far. Nothing spectacular, just the games I loved when I was growing up and a few I missed out on!

I mostly know Wales from the Chronicles of Prydain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Prydain

Which is based on the Mabinogion.

Many of my video game characters have been named Taran and Eilonwy.

Welcome, comrade. :)

Sadly, most of my knowledge about Wales is indirect via silly pop culture (The Alarm).

My apologies.

I recognize my limitations.

At least I know how to find Wales on a map.

And I think vowels are overrated, too.

Welcome to the show.

I do not know any Welsh jokes ](*,), so I will have to ask some Scottish friends for a few and get back with you.

Best place for it, IMHO ... badaboom! :wink:

Welcome from an ex-pat Bristol lad.

Wales is a beautiful country.

I'm of the age to still be pissed-off by the Thatcher "Reaganomics" era destruction of so many Welsh towns.

But enough of that B.S. ... I just hope that you enjoy it here.
