Hey all,
I got this in one of my many trades with a Japanese friend. I can't find any info about it on the net so I figured I'd ask here.
It's a mook, on the spine it says 'PC Engine CD-Rom Capsule' in English and Katakana.
It is full color and has extensive development info, character design galleries, game item data, and even a demo disk of the game itself. It also have a page that was intended to be cut out and placed into a jewel case so the demo disk would look like any other part of your PC-Engine collection. This page is completely intact.
I'm including some pictures of this item. It will be for sale if I can get an idea of it's value. :)

No idea, haven't seen it before sorry. Looks pretty cool though!
I can't say what it's worth, but it sure is in good shape. You might try asking about value on the Turbo Mailing List - specifically to George Plamantouras (sp?).
Wow that old dinosaur of a mailing list is still around? I used to use that back in the 90s lol
I'll try there as well, thanks. :)

Hm...I'd say $15-30. It would depend on how many pages it has, and how much of the art (if any) is exclusive to it, and hasn't been reprinted in other books.
It's not hard to find in Japan. You can often find it on YJ.
I'd say a price around 25$ is quite common for this one.
