@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Dear all, I'm getting out of the PCE game for  lots of reasons.
You've all been great chaps, maybe I'll see you again one day.
For one of you lucky people you can have my PCE copy of Atlantean, wherever in the world you are, gratis. At my expense.
Only one rule, I must think you're a good egg.
Best wishes
Chris
EDIT: Might be a couple of super CDROM runners up

Wait, don't go!

Weren't you in the UK? We never got a chance to talk about old TV show like "Shelley" (and of course, "The Return of Shelley") that your dad/grandpa  may have watched many moons ago.

Anyway, this is a nice raffle (I already have Atlantean).

How about this: take a sabbatical. That way, you are only temporarily leaving pcefx.

See you in 2-9 years!

Sorry to hear that your out of the PC Engine scene.  I have a feeling that you will be back someday.

Please enter me in your raffle if you think I am fit.

Sorry to see you go man... But since you have such a nice raffle please sign me up..

Sorry to hear another has fallen to the evils of FEKA!  I hope you find your way back to the Alpha Zones again some day.

Please enter me into this raffle!

Good luck to all that enter and +1 TurboKarma to Wildfruit!
Jossshhhhh...Legendary TurboTrollX-16: He revenge-bans PCE Developers/Ys IV Localizers from PCE Facebook groups and destroyed 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Josh and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner (extortion/blackmail!), never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

ginoscope

I don't know you since I am a newer member but I wish you the best and I am sure you have your reasons.  I have gone away many times from the obey but it never goes away.  You eventually want to come back. 

My path was turbo > tg16 cd > magic engine > virtual console > eventually here with real hardware and people who share my love for the system.

I already have a rom of the game I got from Arkhan so no need to enter me. 

Cheers,
Gino

Hi este. I've never heard of these shows.
Basically trying to juggle work, a 1 & 9 year old and a wife having a MH crisis and not taking her medication while she maxes out a credit card has left me broke & drained. Sad story but no violins required. I hope people don't see me as a jump shipper. It was a hard decision to take.
Good luck to all entrants!

Jeez, I don't feel that old!  :-k

Oh ... wait ... perhaps I am, where the heck did all those years go?  :shock:

"Shelley" is a great comedy with the excellent Hywel Bennett, first shown in the late 70's when Britain was in a fairly bad economic way. One of my favorite shows at the time.

Highly recommended to people who enjoy comedies with words, not pratfalls.

http://www.britishclassiccomedy.co.uk/shelley

It was created/written by the wonderful Peter Tilbury who left the show after 3 seasons and created/starred in his own great show "It takes a Worried Man".

http://www.britishclassiccomedy.co.uk/it-takes-a-worried-man-1981

Shelley was taken-over by writers Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, who went on to create the also-brilliant "Drop the Dead Donkey".

http://www.britishclassiccomedy.co.uk/drop-the-dead-donkey-1990

Then later on Andy Hamilton created/wrote the marvelous "Old Harry's Game"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Harry's_Game


There you go Esteban ... you've still got someone to talk to about "intelligent comedy".  :wink:

I had a bi-polar ex who thought that buying "things" would make her happy. So sorry to hear about your problems.

Best wishes!

No need to add me to the raffle, but major thanks for being so generous!

Always sad to see someone go.

Please enter me in the raffle and come back soon !

IvanBeavkov

Wildfruit, that sounds like a tough situation, I hope you get back on track soon.

I would appreciate being entered into this generous raffle.

spenoza

I would like to join the raffle.

I do hope you find some happiness and stability. Financial troubles can be a major stress point, and trying to deal with family health issues really compounds that. I hope your kids are coming through it OK. Let the forums here know if there's anything we can do to help out.

LostFlunky

I hope everything works out for you...

wilykat

Any chance I could get in this raffle?  I never had the money when it was available and missed it.

Dicer

Always sad to see someone go, we need more people IN...very generous parting gift.

I'd love to enter I have the rom(Yes purchased) but I was never able to secure my own copy and the PCE variant would work wonders since I have yet to mod my Duo-R

Cheers, and ty and fare thee well well in advance ;)

I too would like to be entered in the generous raffle.

To bad you are getting out of pce gaming. I got out of it myself through my 20s but got pulled back in my 30s. Maybe you will get the spark again someday.

johnnykonami

Wildfruit, sorry to see ya go man.  I hope life gets smoother for you soon, I have a few hurdles to deal with in my own as well so I feel ya.  While I'd love Atlantean, I really just wanted to send you off with well wishes and hope to have you back one day.  I'll take a pass on the raffle.

kosko99

Sad to be hearing this :(

Well, I guess it's the same as newbies like me join the battle... others leave.
Hope you will get back eventually ^^

PS: I'm still too 'young' here to even think on joining this raffle haha. Good luck!

Hi, add me to the list please!    Don't leave us though, we need all the turbo fans we can get!

wildfruit,

Sad to see you go, but keep your account registered and stick around. There have been a few of us that have gone stretches without systems and have checked in every once in awhile, myself included.

...and please sign me up! I was absent from the forums when the game was being printed.

Thanks man, best of luck.

Yea I have my psp still. It's my emulation station.

Sarumaru

It's always sad to me when I read about people getting out of the game, but life sometimes deals you things that really make you prioritize. Well, I would follow everyone's advice and check back in from time to time. Things may change for you. I do wish you the best of luck!

I too would like to be entered in the generous raffle!

But on another note, sorry to see you go. I hope things work out for you.

Dude, best wishes to you and the family. :)

Believe me, I know it can be challenging.

Maybe we'll hear from you when you have the urge to play PC Genjin in a year or two.

Congrats! Glad you won! It's too bad that I never got a chance to enter. I requested to be added to the list a while ago, but for some reason I was never included and the raffle occurred without me lol. I guess the OP hates me or something :-D

Congrats Sparky!

Funny seeing the game labels in the background like you swim around them like uncle scrooge does with his gold lol.
