Just remembered this from Oh My Goddess manga volume 7. The original Japanese edition would of been released sometime around late 1992, which makes it about right.

Another one, the NEC logo from Sol Bianca episode 2.

Think there was a DUO console in the Devil Hunter Yohko anime, but can't figure out which episode.

Here are a few scans from the C&VG magazine.

These scans were done by a chap named Mort over at the Zzap forum. They were selling a dvd of the first 126 issues not so long ago. First two are of the reviews, the third being an example of the sellers mentioned in this thread, and the forth was the image that really sold me the console all those years ago.

Will stick some photos up of the fanzine if I can find it.

Do either of you guys remember 'The complete pc engine guide book' by a guy called Richard Gibbs? It was a photocopied book in a yellow cover that a lot of the importers used to stock. I still have an battered copy here from 1993.

Have this, even though it's getting a bit faded now. Theres lots of good info in his books, hardware and software. Quite a well informed person on the subject of the PC Engine. I always thought his game reviews were spot on.

I remember the first C&VG magazine which ran PC Engine reviews(APR 1989 #90 Wierd Dreams cover), Vigalante, Space Harrier and Dragon Spirit all got very generous scores. As a kid I had to have this console, then the Megadrive was featured just one month later. Confusing times for a child.

I just patched it with IPSXP. Said patch was applied successfully.

Loaded up the game, nothing was patched. Still in Japanese.

Loaded up the .BAK file created, just in case, and nope. Still Japanese.

The version I have DOES have the header (513K).

Same thing happened with me aswell. Although Rich (over at pcedev.com) has been very helpful with this problem.
Feels like I'm getting a game back after having Bubblegum Crash hucard for quite some time now and never really getting very far with it.
Thanks to the translation team for this one
