Title: Who collects PCE game guides &/or magazines?
Post by: nectarsis on 01/07/2009, 09:49 PM
Looking for peeps, that are into collecting the PCE game guides, Dengeki PC Engine mags, etc.  Where do you get them (preferably outside of japan). ;)
Ebay has a few, but either high prices, or even worse shipping.

Quote"Mook" CDs ??
Tatsujin and I get them inside of Japan, so we can't comment.  Sorry...

Just in case you're interested, there are a few rare/unreleased PCE screenshots on the pages that I've set up here: https://www.chrismcovell.com/secret.html

"Mook" means "magazine-book" in weirdo Japan.  I guess it means a book that has colour and/or glossy pages.  There's also "vook" which counts Aoi Blink among them...

Nectarsis I collect guide books but haven't been buying lately. I only have a handful of PC Engine guidebooks, among them Record of Lodoss War. I really went wild for a while collecting guidebooks for various KOEI strategy games and also detective text adventures for Famicom and Famicom Disk.

Guidebooks for old KOEI games seem to rarely be sold on ebay. I got just about all of my guidebooks from Toshi by asking him through email if he had them. He was able to track down most of what I asked for at about 15-20 dollars each.

I can't get enough of PC Engine books, mags, flyers, etc. I get most of them nowadays from eBay. They don't show up often, most are horribly titled and they're usually expensive. But I still find myself picking them up steadily.

Dave sent me some duplicates of his PC-Engine mags. He also sent me some PCE game guides :D I love looking through those.

if only this site was around when the pc engine was still flying off the shelves..

I had a few years build up of those japanese mags (bought from a chain here in london called Japan centre and also some independant game stores) but I threw them away when I switched to the SNES/Saturn/psx
