PC Engine user history from Japan.

[Ex_Mosquito]

Came across this page. It's a huge list of PC Engine memoires from Japan: date acquired system etc, some even had it in the day of release! It's pretty interesting. Here's the link translated with google translate. It's a little hard to understand but you get the idea.

Admit it, you thought of tobias when opening this thread too. It's ok, put down your pitchfork.

Nice link! That looks like a treasure trove for japanese speakers. It even has a rudimentary bulletin board! (gotta love google translate, "FIERY ARGUMENT!")

Yep, I definitely thought it was gonna be about bunch of boots being found in shops in Japan.

PAST: I love entry #142... He saw R-Type on demo at a local shop and THAT WAS IT.

NOW: I have recently fallen in love with both R-Type on Huey and CD for PCE...

Why?

Because my 5-year-old daughter loves R-Type game, even though it is really frustrating for her.

SO WE CAN CHEAT (when she is sick of Stage 1) and let her play the second HuCARD ("R-Type II") which starts at Stage 5.

AWESOME, since she would never be able to actually make it to Stage 5...and she loves charging-up and destroying the metallic snakes at start of Stage 5.

# 142
☆ Your name ☆ mk 2
☆ Period ☆ When R-TYPE I comes out, it will take about half a year
☆ Purchase price etc. ☆ The first white engine
☆ First purchase game ☆ R-TYPE I
☆ motive ☆
In the shop front R - typee 's demonstration flowed on the occasion. For PCE main body and R - TYPE I, please purchase 2,000 yen at the discretion of high school student and buy it (byte bytes gathered). Practicing at PCE, I was glad to pass 100% as it is in the gamesen.

I fell in love with the possibilities of PCE and the enthusiasm of software house that can do tricks that should not be possible, such as sampling sound source, multiple scroll, enlargement / reduction rotation, flashy superimposition, with limit margin. I miss memories of collecting used items from Hu cards.
Once I let go of the real machine, I became an adult, buy impulses without prior knowledge of Duo-RX I found in a second-hand shop. With the last battle of Spliggan mk 2, my inner corner became hot and I realized that I could be honest in front of PCE after all.

For me, speaking of the name machine of the home game machine still, neither DS nor PS is PCE.

Later, this post reveals that he got *back* into PCE with Spriggan Mk II.

INNER CORNER BECAME HOT, indeed.
